Focus #9 Tuesday Career Fair
Mixability: 10/10- still perfect
Taste: 7/10- still sweet.
Focus: 8/10- I was able to focus on talking to one person while there was a million distractions.
Mood: 8/10- I was a little annoyed at the time. But the Focus helped me still feel like I was in a good mood.
Energy: 5/10- I barely felt it for about a half hour.

Focus #10 Weds Night Class
Mixability: 10/10- still perfect
Taste: 7/10- still sweet.
Focus: 9/10- I took it on an empty stomach again and I really felt the focus. I was locked on to the lecture and not easily distracted.
Mood: 9/10- Highly elevated.
Energy: 7/10- I had a good boost which lasted about an hour.

Monday work out- We were on the news on Monday morning so I was up a 6 to make it to training at 7:45. I ended up flipping the 550 tire about 16 times.

Tuesday work out- Tuesday was deadlift day. I can pretty mush just plow through my warmups with out felling fatigued at all thanks to xceed. My endurance was good. I worked up to a 445 single. For some reason I felt like puking. I was getting tired of it coming up and having to swallow it so I just moved on to bb rows. For the first tike I was able to pumo out reps at 225 with out losing form. This is a definite increase in strength for me. I then did some shrugs w/115lb dumbells. I then did biceps. By my 6 set of biceps I had the biggest freaking pum abd could barely curl 55 lbs. It was crazy.

man, i thought you got so famous, you decided not to do your log anymore....
nice to see you are continuing!! :D

I assume that was you by the tire on the far left? Are you the smallest (height-wise) in the group?

[AtomicLee]

I decided to bump up to 2 scoops (I hope thats ok) to see if it would have a different effect, and it did! The effects were way more pronounced.

Focus #11 Weds Night Class-2 scoops
Mixability: 10/10- mixes just as well w/ 2 scoops
Taste: 5/10- Its even sweeter with two scoops. Its a little hard to handle for me but I have a sensitive stomacch to flavors.
Focus: 9/10- Wow! Talk about being in the zone, lasted all class too!
Mood: 9/10- With 2 scoops I was way more calm , cool, and collected.
Energy: 8/10- Good boost, lasted 2 hours.

Focus #12 Thurs Morning Class-2 scoops
Mixability: 10/10- mixes just as well w/ 2 scoops
Taste: 5/10- Too sweet for me.
Focus: 10/10- 2 scoops on an empty stomach put me in the zone, even through one of the most boring lectures ever.
Mood: 10/10- I was able to stay in a good mood even though our semester long project thats half way done was scrapped. :(
Energy: 9/10- The boost hit me fast and lasted a while.

By thge looks of it and math wise, I have 3 servings left. I will take 1 before each exam today and one before my night class. I will finish it up this week and give a review after that.

My workouts have been strong. My recovery between sets is still good but is quite lacking in between workouts. I stay sore for a few days which sucks for strongman because all of the lifts are full body. I squatted on friday and did farmes and truck drag on saturday-then stood up all night at the clubs and stuff. My knees are extremely tight and my legs are extremely sore.

Thanks for the consideration in changing top the new log to include the Focus XT in the title.

As far as bumping to two servings, that is fine. I like to see how it works in different scenarios.

[AtomicLee]

Thanks SNS! I was waiting for it to change but got impatient.

Focus #14 Thurs Morning Class (pre-test)-2 scoops
Mixability: 10/10- mixes just as well w/ 2 scoops
Taste: 4/10- Too sweet for me didn't mix well with the gum I had in my mouth
Focus: 10/10- Man! I was in the zone for this test. Nothing could have distracted me! I also got the highest grade.
Mood: X/10- I was so concentrated on my test I didn't even think about what type of mood I was in, or if it was elevated or not.
Energy: 8/10- I had a good boost but it was short lived.

Focus #13 Wednesday Night Class (pre-test)-2 scoops
Mixability: 10/10- mixes just as well w/ 2 scoops
Taste: 5/10- Still too sweet for me.
Focus: 9/10- I was in the zone but I noticed some little things distracted me. I was able to focus though and blew through the test and got the highest grade in the class.
Mood: 10/10- For some reason I just felt really happy, even though the test was a pain in the ass!
Energy: 9/10- The boost hit me fast and lasted an hour.

I thought I would have some left for another serving but apparently my heaping scoops are a little too heaping.

Final thoughts:

I would first like to thank the whole SNS Crew for letting me test this product. Even though I didnt like the taste that much (very subjective though) I very much enjoyed the results.

Here are the claims and my final ratings:
Improved Mental Focus-9/10
Mental Alertness and Concentration-9/10
Mental Clarity-8.5/10
Anti-Stress Properties-8/10
Maximizing Energy Levels-7/10
Optimal Mental Performance-9/10
Concentration-9/10
Memory-N/A
Improved Endurance-N/A
Pre-Athletic Activity Energy and Focus-9/10
Increased Fat Burning During Exercise-N/A
Improved Mind-Muscle Connection-N/A
Combating Overtraining-N/A
Pre-Workout Energy and Focus-N/A

I thought this supplement was perfect to drink before class. I had greater focus, concentration and energy. All of these things help get through boring lectures and hella long tests. Based on my experience I would give this supplement a 9/10. Would I use it again? Yes. Would I recomend it to others? Yes. I did not really test this out during training too much but when I did I noticed an increase in focus on my events, I was able to zone in better. Thanks to those that followed my log and thanks to SNS for allowing me to test this out.
