Shoutout to BigBumpkin for letting me try out their Fully Loaded Tiger's Blood.





Product looks pretty, but then most do, so nothing crazy here.
I finally had a chance to try it this evening. I normally workout in the mornings which requires a little more oomph to get me going, so we'll see how that goes on Friday AM.

This evening I took a full scoop as I was getting in the car. 10-12 mins for me to drive and walk into the gym.
The scoop is considerably larger than what I'm used to, which is usually C4, or a C4/Amino Energy combo.
Despite that, it mixed perfectly in a standard small water bottle. Shook it up, sipped it for a few mins and then downed the remaining 4/5's as I started my car.
Unlike C4, there was no tingly feeling for me. No sudden onset of energy or "rush" if you will. I got to the gym and was ready to workout. It tasted really nice. A have a preference for lightly flavored drinks and this did not disappoint. My taste buds suck so I get the GF try it. She said it tasted of watermelon, so I'll trust her lol. She's not one to like my PWO concoctions, so for her to then say she'd like to try it for her morning working on tomorrow was a pleasant surprise. She will try it and give me her feedback as well. She's 5'3" and 140lbs, so a scoop may have a different affect on her, especially since she normally only takes 3 scoops of Amino Energy.

Anyway, I had a good workout. Nothing out of this world, but the lack of tingles from overdoing the PWO as I've done before, but enough energy to give keep me going was a great middle of the road. Overall, it was a great feeling. I'll be curious to see how it affects my sleep, if at all.

Tomorrow is a day off, but as long as the GF hits the gym, I should have something to report back.
Thanks BigBumpkin!

C4 and amino energy are two of my favorites as well so this should be an interesting comparison.

I'm rather stim resistant myself. I like fully loaded as a little kick. Dig all the flavors

Good call on having the GF taste it, that is a true test!

[commandopat]

I had a day off yesterday but the GF tried a 3/4 scoop in 12oz of water. Not overpowering or bitter. She liked the flavor. She said she started feeling tingly and warm all over her torso right at 30 mins. She didn't like feeling it in her ears but it wasn't too bad. She said it wa good, clean energy and she had a great workout.

She will try a half scoop today and I'll provide my feedback today - back and Bi's.

Back workout yesterday. I had a full scoop about 20 mins prior. I like the light flavoring vice some PWO's which are much more fruity and somewhat overpowering. I didn't have a lot of motivation to get my ass to the gym, nor did this give me the tingling sensation which makes you need to expend some energy. It is a much cleaner feeling though, which I can't say something like C4 is.

Compared to something as mild as Amino Energy, I think this definitely one-ups it in terms of a clean, sustained energy.

 

Anyway, I got a good workout in and despite being a little low on energy to start, It was a productive day in the gym.

 

The GF tried a half scoop and she did not have any tingling sensation this time, so for someone who weighs 140lbs, a half scoop was a good place to start depending on stim tolerance. She slayed her arms and shoulders at the gym. She has never sought to try my PWO's because she always used Amino Energy (watermelon flavor is her favorite - I like green apple), so for her to want to use this one is a statement in and of itself.

The GMS doesn't settle?

The GMS doesn't settle?

I'm afraid I don't understand the question.

[Nostrum]

Most products I've used that have glycerol monostearate, the GMS settles to the bottom almost instantly.

I'll have to pay more attention. I subconsciously shake it before drinking so haven't noticed.

[bigbumpkin2003]

I shake the crud outta all mine cause I usually sip casually. So I'm constantly shaking before my sips. LOL

I've started light cardio again alternating cardio with gym days to give my body a little more rest. I had a light chest day yesterday. A solid 7 hours of sleep the night before so I didn't really need any stims to get be to the gym but it tasted great, a scoop and a half gave me a welcome boost but no crazy tingles like C4. My light workout stayed lift but I did a lot mor reps and sets than I had planned. Overall it was a good day.

[commandopat]

It does settle at the bottom but nothing a semi vigorous shake for 3 seconds resolves nicely.

Today I took a full scoop, washed it down with 20mg Ment and walked over to the gym for a back day.
I felt really good although I'm sure the Ment helped a little. Still liked the taste and I was sipping part of it as I started deads. DLs were pretty heavy but the rest focused more on volume. I had an awesome pump and continued clean energy.
I think this is something I could take a half scoop of pre cardio to get me going, and be ok. Not something I'd try with C4 as its not as clean and my heart races a lot more on C4. Amino, depending how many scoops you use, would easily work for cardio. May have a few days off coming up.

I slept 12 hours last night and yet I could still barely get the motivation to go to the gym. I took a scoop and off I went. 15 mins later I felt pretty good and ready to hit my arms.
Good 1.5h hour arm session and my arms were massive with a great pump. I really like the energy and lack of itchiness it provides.

[commandopat]

Yesterday was chest day. Dragging ass again, damn GH, so I took a scoop and a half 20 mins prior to the gym.
The biggest difference between this and C4 for me is the ability to chug a 12oz water bottle with it and it still taste good. While I like C4 for certain days, I am finding myself preferring this. I haven't looked at the other available flavored but I certainly suspect I'll be picking some up. It's something I would drink for a little energy even if I wasn't heading to the gym. Do I have a problem? Lol

I had a tub of strawberry limeade last fall and it was the best tasting pwo I've ever had. Would definitely recommend.

Does it give you any cotton mouth?

Not at all, which is why I would honestly drink it in stead of an energy drink if needed.

[commandopat]

I was planning on slaying my back today and I certainly did.
I took 1.5 scoops and was in the gym 20 mins later.
41 sets and 463 reps later I was drenched in sweat but feeling great. Had I not run out of time I would have loved to go on. Great stuff!

Good to know, after im outta my pwo, ima give it a try

[commandopat]

Yesterday I went to the gym later than normal but I felt pretty good. I look forward to my pwo and at 1.5 scoops it again did not fail. I really should look up the other flavors.
