Preworkouts are the latest boom in the supplements industry. They are huge sellers and too many lifters get them confused with a staple for workouts. They're relatively full of false promises - gain 1100% strength - and the like.
Some folks just get started and think it's their supplement stack giving them huge gains, when during the first 6 weeks or so, their gains would be huge regardless.
I do however, enjoy preworkout when I'm just not feeling in the zone or "pumped" for my workouts. I decided to get one that I have used before - the original N.O. Xplode.
Taste:
When I use this product, I use about 10-12 ounces of water and 1.5-2 scoops (what the label suggests) of the actual product. The result is an extremely flavorful drink. It's like a carbonated fruit punch soda. Some days it's just too intense and I have to add much more water. I think most people will find the same. When compared to a weak flavored PW such as Jack3d, I think the difference is huge. Especially when you look at how large the serving size is. The scoop of Jack3d is about 1/8 the size of the double scoop of N.O.X.
3.5/5
Mix-ibility:
Here's something odd. "Do not mix product, stir" is the general labeling. I shake it anyway. But if you give it more than 10-15 shakes without letting the pressure out, it will get messy. But it mixes easy when you do this though. I give it a low score because most of us use "shaker bottles" and when you can't shake your product, it's annoying.
3/5
Value:
I got a large tub, over 2 pounds at bodybuilding.com for $35.99USD, then they told me I could add another one for $25.99USD, which I did. The local store sells it for $59.99, so I got a bargain. The preworkout itself is to me, good. I've used a bunch of different kinds, this one feels the same as most. It has a bit more creatine and carbs then some, so for bulking it works well. But the feeling I get while at the gym, is the same as most. Hyped to get in there, feels good while pumping and some added endurance. Give it a whirl.
4/5
Overall: 3.5/5
