Rating system is 1-10. 10 being the highest possible score.
Flavor: 8 - Not great, not bad but definately have no problems consuming daily.
Mixability: 9 - Very finely milled product. Some slight settling but a couple shakes takes care of it.
Price: 7 - I think the product should be right under $30 making the per serving right under $1.
Ingredients: 7 - With some of the all-in-ones out there its tought to give any higher. I do like they did include 3g of creatine but putting a couple more grams in would have pulled this into a solid all-in-one. I do wish they used something else besides CEE but hey I am picky. They do get bonus points for citrulline malate and stevia usage though.
Pumps/strength etc: I can't comment on this because I honestly never get leg pumps and today was leg day. Also I did add more caffeine because my adrenals are toasty but I do feel like this product helped a bit in todays WO.
Overall I give the product an 8 in the pre-workout market. I think users will be happy with it but currently there are some pretty tough competitors in this market. I do though recommend this over NO-Xplode and a few other "popular" products but currently think a solid all-in-one is a better value.
Again thanks to AL for sending me the products and wish them much success!
