T_I's Gaspari SuperPump250 Review
(1): Isomer, T. Effects of Gaspari SuperPump250 on Resistance Training (2006)
[Unpublished]
Abstract: The ergogenic/nootropic effects of SuperPump250 (SP250) (Two sample packets) on subject T_I with an empty stomach were studied. Effects of SP250 were determined by data collection of focus, mood, energy, strength, and pumps. Collection of the data occurred on five (5) minute, ten (10) minute, thirty (30) minute, and sixty (60) minute intervals. Subject ingested one dose of SP250 with additional eight (8) ounces of H20, on an empty stomach. Subject then was directed to activity (exercise) and was stopped at time intervals to assess ergogenic/nootropic effects. Subject noted that mixability of SP250 powder was good, taste of powder was excellent, effect upon focus was good, effect upon mood was good, effects upon pumps was excellent, and effect upon strength was good. Conclusion: SP250 taken on empty stomach had a pronounced effects upon focus, mood, strength, energy and pumps taken before exercise activity.
Procedure:
• 1 dose taken thirty (30) minutes before activity (exercise)
• Dose taken during afternoon time
• Dose taken on empty stomach (2 hours from last meal)
• Data will be collected 5 mins, 10 mins, 30 mins, 60 mins after ingestion of dosage
Data:
5 minutes after initial ingestion: No pronounced effects felt.
10 minutes after initial ingestion: No pronounced effects felt.
30 minutes after initial ingestion: Pronounced effects felt.
60 minutes after initial ingestion: Pronounced effects felt.
Scale:
1/5- Terrible
2/5-Poor
3/5-Mediocre
4/5-Good
5/5-Excellent
Mixability: 4/5- Both sample packs opened, emptied into glass with eight (8) ounces of water. Using a spoon, the contents were stirred for approximately ten (10) seconds. The majority of SP250 was dissolved, but a foam top was noticed with bits of undissolved product.
Taste: 5/5- The flavor is "Blue Raspberry Ice". It tasted exactly like blue raspberry slushee, great flavor, very enjoyable to drink down.
Focus: 4/5- Nice pickup in mental energy, I did not experience any 'rush' per se, but a nice pickup in mental energy was experienced, felt more clear minded.
Mood: 4/5- A nice pickup in mental energy was noticed, so mood was elevated, felt better able to focus and concentrate, less fuzzy headed after a day of classes.
Energy: 4/5- A nice mental and physical pickup was noticed approx. thirty (30) minutes after SP250 ingestion. Nothing like drinking down ten cups of coffee, but after a day of school, the energy felt after SP250 was very nice.
Pumps: 5/5- 'Muscle hardness' I feel is a more appropriate term here, pumps were great, but my arms and chest felt rock solid, great feeling and stayed for a good bit after the gym.
Strength: 4/5- Can't say too much here, especially just after using two sample packs, but weight was up skull crushers, so any weight increase is nice, can't exactly contribute it to the SP250.
Note- Again this was only after after ingestion of two (2) sample packs of SP250, but from the samples used, I am impressed, and I would definitely recommend this product.
Many thanks to JV@Gaspari and Gaspari Nutrition for sending me the samples!
