Future long time customer
I have used many different pre-workouts over the last several years, and have had a variety of different experiences. Due to my work schedule, I have to rotate between early morning workouts and late evening workouts, and if you try to take supplements to maximize the benefits of weightlifting, it can be discouraging to do so when things like staying awake or falling asleep are important to you. That being said, I wanted to try this product for about a month to get an accurate depiction of what it does for me.<br />My initial reactions:<br />I work in the chemicals industry and fully appreciated the fact that no coloring is added to this mix. It mixes clear and tastes excellent (Watermelon). It does not have the typical artificial sugar aftertaste that is really common in pre-workout supplements. I knew that it was a higher than average stimulant product, so the first time I tried it, was during my early morning workout.<br />It hits hard and fast, but in a very good way. I was able to take it as I pulled into the parking lot, and felt the effects quickly. I definitely felt that I was able to get more out of my workout, more weight, more reps, before I felt my muscles fatigue. I don't know if it was a placebo effect, however I will note that I did experience this same thing every time I used the product. One the days I forgot to bring it with me, I felt a markedly different way during the workout (I keeps some other powders in my truck just in case) and did not feel the same surge during those workouts.<br />There is no crash when the product wears off. This was huge for me. I was able to go throughout a 12 hour shift, without feeling wiped out, needing an additional pick me up.<br />When working out at night, I was worried about the potential difficulties falling asleep, however I was pleasantly surprised to find myself falling asleep with no difficulties.<br />I would normally take about 4g of Beta Alanine, along with some vasodilators, but found this made it so I didn't have to take any additional pre workout supplements except for my creatine.<br />I can see myself using this product for a good long time, not only for my workouts, but occasionally when I need to use a little bit of a boost during a busy day.
