I’ve just started going to the gym last week, I brought this because I’m a very lazy and inactive woman. I’m naturally skinny, but I wanted to build muscle and be a lot more active. I really needed the motivation and strength to get myself to the gym, so I brought this. I mixed half a scoop with water and drank, I’m not really sure about the watermelon flavour as I found it quite sour, I will try the blue raspberry next but, the watermelon isn’t revolting or anything. Infact I will buy it again if I don’t like the other flavours, because it is drinkable and it’s not bad, the effects are beyond worth it. I then walked to the gym which is 25 min walk and by the time I was in the gym using the equipment, I was feeling very motivated and ready to do it! I actually was surprised at how much I could do and I done a full hour there on my first time! I could definitely feel the effect of the caffeine, but not so much that I was shaky or like a jitterbug. I was a nice, buzzed kind of feel. Love this and will always use this now.

So I love a Pre-workout drink. I've bought a range of different ones of the years, and to be fair, I've enjoyed most of them. However, there is a difference between the products and a lot comes down to personal preference. Anyway, I'll explain what I enjoyed about this drink. So first up is the price. £15 for 30 servings is good value compared to other products. Its effectiveness is good, I get a decent boost from the drink, that said, I've been taking this stuff so long it doesn't really affect me the same as it used to. The taste is slightly milder than other products I've tried, I didn't mind this, it tasted a little more chemically then other drinks I've tried and didn't enjoy the taste as much as the curse pre-workout. The drink mixes pretty well, just a swill with a fork is sufficient. All in all, I'd definitely recommended this produced for the money, you can't go wrong really for £15. If money isn't an issue, go for something else.

As a narcoleptic, I actually use this product to stay awake during the day. I do have medication to stay awake, but find this product makes the difference between being drowsy and being wide awake and alert. I have tried caffeine tablets but they just give me a headache and make me feel sick, for some reason this formula seems to work even better but not give any noticeable side effects. I use either the 'extreme' portion size (1 heaped scoop) first thing in the morning, or go for two 'standard' servings (1/2 a scoop) twice a day. It seems to take about 15-20 minutes to take effect, so if using for a workout then I'd advise taking 30 minutes before to get the maximum benefit. I tried this product to replace the Dragon Shot drinks I was using, as these were about £1.50 a pop and I was drinking 3 a day. I was unsure what to expect but was amazed with this product. There are quite a few 'pre-workout' products on the market, but I won't try any others now I know this works - I just hope they continue making it, as it genuinely improves my quality of life. If this product can help a narcoleptic, it should also be beneficial for people trying to stay awake and alert throughout the day - perhaps for studying, night shifts, long drives, etc. As a workout aid I can see it would be really good, but there are many other reasons to take it. If taking on a regular basis like myself, best bet is to get a tub of each of the flavours so you are not having the same flavour time after time. I do prefer the Tropical Blast, but have tubs of the other two flavours to avoid getting sick of one flavour all the time. To mix it up, I put the powder in a small glass, and then add about 50-100ml of water, then mix it up fast and drink it straight down. I would advise to get it down as quickly as possible and avoid sipping it, to prevent the residue settling at the bottom of the glass. I haven't tried mixing it with fresh juice yet, but I will give that a try at some point.

i am usually quite sensitive to caffine and only have around 150mg in a serving from pre workouts. this one did absolutely nothing for me. so i tried again the next day with 200mg (which usually gets me shaking with that amount!) again, absolutely nothing!! my fiance and sister also tried it and they felt nothing. i actually got asked if the seal was on it when it arrived because they thought it must have been tampered with, but it did indeed arrive with the seal. i have never come across a pre workout that does nothing before. this obviously doesnt contain the ingredients it states! very disappointing and now i have to waste my time sending it back for a refund.

Updated Review: After using this product for the last few months, I can confidently say that it is within my 2 favourite and most effective pre workout. The only one I rate alongside this was the original Dorian Yates Nox Pump Extreme. I'm ordering another batch! This is a great product. I've used many a different pre workout supplement over the years and this is up there with some of the best. It's effective in that it gives a great pump (I'm currently on the lowest dose of 7.5g) and helps me achieve focus and energy throughout my workout, but without the comedown that sometimes plagues other supplements. I've dropped one star only because I find the taste a bit too bitter for my liking, but it's not unpleasant. It's easily rectified by adding more water. All in all, great product at a good price.

It works well but it can get quite sweet and make you want to throw up. I Normally add more water then Instructed to get rid of the sweet but other then that very good pre workout

Love the taste of this stuff! It tastes like a melted blue slush puppee and is extremely easy to drink. Definitely gives me a boost every morning I take it. I started off on half portion as specified and found a slight boost, moving up to a full portion and I felt full of energy. I get up at 6.30am, wake up and get my 3 kids ready by 7.30am, knock back this stuff (with the Iron Labs BCAA tablets), drop the kids off to school breakfast club and the nursery before getting to the gym for 8am. By then I am usually quite drained but this has given me the energy to complete my full routine. I recommend following the instructions, knock it back half an hour before the session and you'll be set by the time you start. I've tried NO boosters and T boosters before. Throw those in the bin, this is all you need.

La verdad es que he probado varios pre entreno y muchos se quedan más en marketing que en otra cosa. En mi caso buscaba algo que realmente ayudara a activarme antes de entrenar, sobre todo en días de cansancio o cuando voy al gimnasio después de trabajar. Después de varias semanas usándolo, este sí se nota bastante. La energía aparece rápido y entrenas con más intensidad, especialmente en ejercicios fuertes o series largas. En mi caso lo he notado mucho en días de pierna y entrenamientos donde normalmente llegaría más fatigado. El “pump” y la sensación de activación también están bastante presentes. La combinación de creatina, beta alanina y cafeína hace que entres al entrenamiento con más ganas y más enfoque. Eso sí, si nunca has tomado un pre entreno potente, probablemente conviene empezar con media dosis porque pega bastante. El sabor Blue Raspberry me sorprendió para bien. Normalmente estos productos saben demasiado artificiales o muy químicos, pero este entra bastante fácil y se mezcla bien sin quedarse lleno de grumos. También me gusta que el bote cunda bastante. Dependiendo de cómo lo uses, tienes para bastantes entrenamientos, así que al final sale mejor de lo que parece. No es perfecto, eso sí. La beta alanina da el típico hormigueo bastante marcado (a mí no me molesta, pero hay gente que lo odia). Y si eres sensible a la cafeína o entrenas tarde, puede afectar al sueño sin problema. No es un producto “suave”. Aun así, para quien ya está acostumbrado a pre entrenos y busca un empujón serio de energía y rendimiento en el gimnasio, me parece bastante potente y efectivo. Espero que le haya resultado útil la reseña.

Ho provato questo integratore per diverse sessioni in palestra e devo dire che mi ha sorpreso positivamente. Il sapore è intenso, piuttosto dolce e leggermente artificiale, ma resta piacevole se diluito bene in acqua fredda. L’effetto si sente dopo una ventina di minuti e ti dà una bella spinta di energia e concentrazione, probabilmente grazie alla combinazione di caffeina, creatina e beta alanina. Ho notato una buona resistenza durante gli allenamenti di forza e una minore sensazione di affaticamento. Mi piace anche che sia vegano e adatto ai vegetariani. La confezione è solida, il misurino è incluso e il barattolo da 360 grammi garantisce molte porzioni, seguendo le dosi consigliate dovrebbe bastare per 40 sedute di allentamento. Consiglio questo PreWorkout per chi cerca energia e concentrazione durante gli allenamenti senza spendere troppo.

J’ai testé pas mal de pre-workouts ces dernières années et celui-ci fait clairement partie des plus “nerveux” que j’ai essayés. La première prise en dose complète m’a surpris : énorme boost d’énergie, motivation à fond à la salle et très bonne concentration pendant l’entraînement… mais aussi pas mal de stimulation. Le goût framboise bleue est plutôt réussi même si un peu sucré à la longue. La poudre se mélange correctement et l’effet arrive assez vite après la prise. Sur les grosses séances jambes ou dos, ça aide vraiment à rester intense jusqu’au bout. Par contre, je conseille franchement de commencer avec une demi-dose. Entre la caféine et les autres stimulants, ça peut vite devenir trop fort si on n’a pas l’habitude. Personnellement j’ai eu quelques picotements assez marqués et un peu de difficulté à m’endormir quand je l’ai pris trop tard dans la journée. Donc oui, très efficace niveau énergie et focus, mais à réserver aux personnes qui supportent bien les pre-workouts puissants.

Die Lieferung erfolgte schnell und das Produkt kam gut verpackt bei mir an. Die Dose war unbeschädigt und sicher im Paket verstaut, sodass alles in einwandfreiem Zustand angekommen ist. Das Pre-Workout Pulver lässt sich einfach dosieren und gut in Wasser auflösen. Der Geschmack „Blue Raspberry“ ist angenehm und nicht zu künstlich, wodurch sich das Getränk vor dem Training gut trinken lässt. Die Dose enthält 360 g Pulver und reicht laut Hersteller für etwa 40 Portionen. Wenn man es nur an Trainingstagen verwendet, kommt man damit also eine ganze Zeit aus. Gerade wenn man mehrmals pro Woche trainiert, ist das eine praktische Menge. Das Produkt eignet sich besonders gut vor dem Training, da es Inhaltsstoffe wie Koffein, Kreatin und Beta-Alanin enthält. Dadurch kann es helfen, wacher und konzentrierter ins Training zu starten und die Leistungsfähigkeit während der Einheit zu unterstützen. Vor allem bei intensiveren Workouts oder längeren Trainingseinheiten kann das ein hilfreicher Zusatz sein. Insgesamt macht das Pre-Workout Pulver einen guten Eindruck. Schnelle Lieferung, gute Verpackung und eine praktische Menge an Portionen machen das Produkt zu einer soliden Wahl für alle, die ihr Training etwas unterstützen möchten.

L'integratore Iron Labs Nutrition AC8 Pre Workout arriva in un barattolo di platica da 360 grammi, corrispondente a 40 dosi. La polvere si scioglie facilmente nell’acqua senza formare grumi, e il gusto lampone blu è davvero piacevole, e non risulta né troppo dolce né chimico, si beve volentieri. La formula è ricca d’ingredienti funzionali allo scopo. La caffeina (160 mg) offre energia e concentrazione. La creatina (1,5 g) e la beta alanina (1 g) lavorano insieme per aumentare forza e ridurre l’affaticamento muscolare. La citrullina malato (750 mg) favorisce il pompaggio, mentre la taurina (1 g) e la L-glutammina (1 g) supportano idratazione e recupero. Il destrosio (1,25 g) dà una rapida spinta energetica, e la vitamina B12 completa il quadro favorendo il metabolismo, il microcircolo e la lucidità mentale. CONCLUSIONI Un prodotto efficace e dal gusto sorprendentemente buono. Dopo l’assunzione, la sensazione di vigore mentale è evidente, e si resta lucidi e reattivi anche negli allenamenti più lunghi. L’ho trovato utile non solo prima dello sport, ma anche nei pomeriggi pesanti in cui serve maggiore energia.
