4/5
Thanks danielmoo
for the opportunity to try this product out. See review below:
Gaspari - Super Pump MAX - Grape Cooler
I went right away with 3 scoops in 24 oz of water to get the benefits of 6 g L-Leucine, 3.9 grams of creatine mono, and 6 g L-Citrulline, and the caffeine kick (not sure how much, but I am assuming around 300mg?) I liked the tub. It is a tad bit smaller than a 2.2 lbs protein powder and eye candy shiny label graphics.
Taste: 10/10
I really enjoyed the taste. It reminded me of boxed grape juice or capri sun! It made the 24oz feel like 8oz of water and I went through it instantly. A+ on the flavor.
Mix: 9/10
No issues. I couldn't taste any graininess. I did notice a very very slight after taste and when I was done I opened my blender bottle and noticed that some sandy residue was left. No biggie, given the amount of ingredients in this bad boy.
Effectiveness: 9.5/10
Great pumps and performance from this see below for a breakdown:
Electrohydration Complex - I purposely did not take water with me to the gym to test out the hydration. Unfortunately, I feel they missed it here. About 30 minutes into my training I developed cottonmouth. I had to go sip at the water fountain throughout my workout.
Nitric Oxiendurance Complex - at 6g of L-Citrulline I knew this was going to deliver! It did. I noticed great fullness, but not so much vascularity. My arms felt really really tight. No complaints.
Phosphodrive Signaling Complex - No comments. I always take creatine, so it is great that this is included in the blend.
Cognidrive Acceleration Matrix - Focus, energy, and stamina were on point. There are other pre's that definitely outshine this in the mental focus department, but this was not bad at all. I was locked into my workout and I felt like I could keep going even after 1 hr of weights.
Overall Based (excluding price & servings) 9.5/10:
I loved it. It has the perfect blend of ingredients for someone that trains first thing in the morning. It has everything I typically take and in all-in-one product. But.....
Overall (price & servings) 8/10:
It would be nice to see 60 servings for a months worth @ 3 scoops and 5 workout days. The price is competitive with other similar products retail price. Seems a bit pricey, but you get your pre-workout combo all in one. If you see it cheaper than current pricing (i believe 30$ jump on it)
