OK well first of all i would love to say thank you to cuse88 and everyone from Betancourt nutrition for the opportunity to try this product which i got from this contest thread:
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=119722271
ok well i got my tub today in the mail and man was i excited a first to a preworkout with a test booster in it also. My thought on that was like how can this be it gotta be alittle weaker on one of the other parts but i was way wrong. My first impression was wow Betancourt really put some thought and hard work into making this product and the container alone was just so appealing to look at (yea i did like the container alot).
BULLNOX? is a Pre-Workout Nitric Oxide (NOX) Intensifying drink mix, and one of the only formulas of its kind with a "Super-Set" formula structure whose effects are intended to change with each set that you perform.
Like a whirlwind whips the desert sand, delicious BULLNOX? whips up a NOX-carrying "Androrush" that protects and strengthens your pumps on the battlefield. Through the power of BULLNOX?, every muscle is able to swell larger and its strength and power last longer.*
Feel the Androrush set by set! Ingredients in BULLNOX? were selected on the basis of their potential to support*:
* Androgenic stimulation: Support androgen levels as you train*
* Unbeatable strength-endurance: Lift more weight for more reps without "gassing"*
* Dilation of cardiovascular and muscular tissues: Gain size as you train*
* Lasting neuro-emotive energy: The final set feels as incredible as the first*
Keep your cellular nitrogen and glycogen levels high and boost your anabolic potential even further!
Set by set, BULLNOX? stays with you!*

Smell : 8/10
wasn't too bad it was ok to me it was like a bubble gum kinda smell with a little medicine smell and actually made me want to taste it a lot more.
Mix: 9/10
Great mix .. i was surprised how well this mixed no froth on top and everything mixed but there was a very tiny bit of particles at the bottom that would not dissolve. I had mixed it following the label mixing 2 scoops with 12 ounces of water.
Taste: 10/10
wow i cannot stress this enough that this thing tasted amazing and im talking about perfect fruit punch flavor Betancourt really got the taste on spot. I have tried a lot of NO(nitric oxide) products and this one was definitely the best tasting. The flavor wasn't to strong and wasn't to weak and it had no sour taste like no x-plode and sp250. It was smooth and great tasting.
Pump: 8/10
Great pump not as good as some other products but alot more then what i was expecting because i really thought it was going to be less because its a test and NO booster but it was not lacking at all in this department.
Focus: 8/10
OK now i was actualy not able to focus all day until i took this and it lasted way after my workout.
Mood: 7/10
I would have to say my mood was elevated to a point were i wasn't depressed and had a really good agression towards all of the metal toys in the gym.
Vascularity: 8/10
OK i was more vascular than i normally was mostly noticeable because i am roughly 14-15% bodyfat and i have seen some veins with this that i never seen before because i was usually a fat person. But after my cutting and finally getting down to this body fat percentage i did notice it.
Energy: 10/10
Wow Betancourt nutrition got this thing down it lasted me through every single set i had to do today and more. Today was Shoulder, Triceps and ab day and this kept me going through all of that and enough to do 40 minutes of cardio after this really surprised me.
Overall: 9/10
Betancourt really put alot of effort into this product and it came out great. No crash and it worked great no bloating just great energy and pump to last me through my workout and cardio. The test booster part i would say they got down also but its to hard to tell after only the first workout. What can i say its a great product i recomend this to anyone who wants a great pre-workout supplement that is not a waste of money and work from the first set to after the last. Great taste,pump,energy, and everything else needed in a pre-workout drink. Again thank you Betancourt nutrition and cuse88 for this opportunity and Great product as well and i tried ALOT of pre-workout/NO supplements. Also got a huge strength gain able to add 5 lbs of weight to almost everything i did cant wait to see how this ends up hoping i get a huge strength increase.
** i will be updating this thread for a little while after just to review it a little more because i love this thing so much ** (not like a log tho just a few more times randomly)
