[b]Packaging: 9/10[/b]

Nothing fancy. Standard for the Myogenix line. Simple, yet effective. No over-the-top shiny labels.

[b]Taste: 8.5/10[/b]

Digging the tropical thunder. Tastes remotely close to a Pina coloda (spelling?). Fruity flavor, but not overly sweet. A little gritty towards the last few sips, but nothing to gripe about. We'll see if the taste grows on me throughout the log. I am thinking it will :)

[b]Mixability: 8/10[/b]

Little grittiness at the bottom of the shaker. No biggie. Otherwise, perfect mixability.

[b]Pumps, performance, endurance[/b]

Stamina and endurance felt good. Hard to gauge the pump (since it was DL day) but calves got a nice pump at the end of the session.

Good session, feeling solid. 1 scoop about 15 mins pre and felt good. Pump was really spot on today. Energy was smooth, no jitters. No GI issues to be noted. BTW, HS tastes 10X better in ice cold water. So far so good. More to come, stay tuned.

great pump. 1 scoop about 10 mins before training and was focused and ready to go. found that mixing HS with ICE cold water emulates a pina colada. focus was really good today and I am pleased with energy, stamina, endurance in today's session.

[b]Notes:[/b]

Nothing fancy, just a moderately heavy leg day with a focus on more "bodybuilding" type movements. Felt good. Energy was a little low going into this one, but picked up some sustainable energy about half-way through this session and pushed on through.

A few things I noticed about Hypershock...

a) hits me harder if I use ICE cold water
b) the mixability is decent and the last few sips are gritty in texture but this is overcome if I continuously shake my blender bottle in between sips
c) the pumps have been moderate at best
d) energy is where this product thrives
e) focus is mediocre thus far
f) TASTE is AMAZING
g) More to come!

Out of most reviews, Hypershock seems to get the most rave for its energy, so I can see where you are coming from.

Are you preparing for a show bro? Or off-season growth time?

Final Review:

Solid pre-workout product. Good energy and focus. Pumps were mediocre and some days they were absolutely non-existant. Good taste (tropical thunder) and mixability. Thanks to Pac and Mark for the opportunity.
