Protein Powders

So I’m fairly new to the gym routine, I go maybe 4 times a week and use protein shakes and powders like this to get over the need for a nap after work. This stuff works probably the best that I’ve known personally (I’ve tried maybe a dozen different types of powders), but there are some weird effects that you should probably be aware of.
1. Do not make this in advance.
Reason I say this is I made a container with 1 scoop in 16oz of Water (for ease of consumption, it can be pretty strong tasting.) and left it in the fridge. Two days later I take it out and take a sip and it felt like I consumed battery acid. I’m not talking just a strong taste, it physically burned my throat and esophagus. This doesn’t happen if you drink it straight away, so there must have been some kind of chemical reaction that caused it.
2. It could just be me, but it makes every pore in my body hurt.
Albeit brief, after about 30 minutes (on consecutive days), the skin on my scalp, arms, back, legs, you name it just stiffen and it feels like they are burning/itching at the same time. I’m not sure on what causes it, but it can be kind of uncomfortable. It doesn’t last forever, but I’m sure it could probably freak some people out.
Whether or not this is safe to consume, I couldn’t say, but I do know that it works pretty well. I used to have trouble lasting 10 minutes on the elliptical but after couple weeks, I’m up to 40 minutes without rest and I only end it there because I time it by episodes of Iron Fist 🙂

I’m new to working out, but I started without using pre workout for the first month.
I’m sure I had some barriers in my head, but taking this stuff allowed me to go a FULL two times further than I was going without it. It’s great and I highly recommend it for getting the most out of a workout. Also it tastes great!
I was caught by surprise with a bit of spicyness- that’s just pepper that’s in it though!
The tingles on my body hit me hard when it’s kicking in. You WILL definitely feel this stuff. Also I don’t personally need caffeine with my dose. This is plenty!
Enjoy 🙂
Update: 2 years later and still loving this powder ! I switch on and off with a less potent one (can’t think of the name xD) – but this one always gets me the best workouts.

I can only go by what my brother and sister in law say. I bought this before my doctor told me to stop anything with high amounts of caffeine, which this has. They say it works wonders and she is a high fitness instructor so I assume she knows her stuff.

I really like the flavor when mixed and immediately consumed. Warning though, something happens if you mix this and let it set. In the first week of having this, I mixed some and put it in the fridge over night to use in the morning. It changed. When I tried to drink in the morning it had a hot pepper property to it. That’s the best way I can describe it. It burned my mouth and throat like hot sauce. Mixing and drinking, tastes great, works like you’d expect.

It’s not my first time trying this product out but it’s the first time trying the Blue Razz flavor and it’s honestly a tasty flavor. My stomach doesn’t like certain flavors from pre-workout drinks so I was skeptical about this flavor but it was a great flavor and doesn’t bother me

1). Use it as it INSTRUCTS on the side of the container. With that being said, DO NOT TAKE more than ONE scoop in your serving (but I’m sure some of you love to live on the edge and disregard the instructions completely and then blame the product).
2) This produce contains an ingredient that will cause your face to turn red. It’s from the NIACIN in the supplement. Niacin is good for you (i.e. helps guys maintain an erection, gives you additional energy and is…oh yeah…VITAMIN B3).
3) It will clump if you don’t use it for a long period of time. The container isn’t immune to ALL humidity. If you leave it sealed, humidity can still affect it. If you leave it in your vehicle (like I did), the constant raising of temperature during the day and the cooling at night can cause condensation in that little container (I was living in NC at the time). Yes, it has one of those bags with beads in it that helps keep the WATER particles in the air at bay but IT ONLY WORKS for a period of time… Everything has a shelf life, so if you let it sit long enough, it will clump.
My opinion: I love the sh*t out of this stuff. I cycle off and on it so my body doesn’t get too accustomed to it. My workouts are harder and longer because of it. I’ve tried all the flavors, and my favorites are the fruit punch and blue raspberry (I put 4 stars bc not all flavors are to my liking). The gains achieved during its use remain constant even when I cycle off it.

This was a great pre workout supplement, and always gave me the energy I needed at the end of a long day, to get in and get a workout in. The taste is okay, though I’m not interested in drinking it every day. The only issue I have with it, is that it effects my skin complexion, and I have had to cease use.
