I would like to thank antihero for sending me out 3 samples of SNS Agmatine
I had seen a few solid reviews of agmatine previously, so I wanted to give it a try. That being said I was a little skeptical of the effects or "pump" I would get from it compared to other products. My two favorite pump style products to date are Pump-Bol and GlycerGrow.
Day 1: Chest + Light ABs (4 caps 60 min pre + EC 15 pre)
Bench: Warm-up 135x10 -> 225x8, 245x6, 275x5, drop set of 225x10 -> 185x8 -> 135x8
Cable-Crossover: 25x10, 30x10, 35x8
Incline DB press: 70x10, 80x10, 90x8
Incline Cable Flys: 25x10, 30x8, 25x9
Body Weight Dips: 20, 20, 17, 15
Crunches x100
I wore a sweatshirt through the first three excercises, so I didn't see the pump, but I sure as hell felt it. When I took it off before incline cable flys, I was honestly blown away. I would compare the pump to GlycerGrow if not better (srs). My drop set on bench seriously hurt (in a good way), the pump was that good. During my set of flys, I felt a huge pump in not only my chest but biceps as well. So far agmatine has suprised me greatly. I will give my final review/thoughts after I finish all three samples.

Day 2: Legs (4 caps 60 min pre + EC 30 pre)
Squat (ATG): Warm-up 135x10, 225x10 -> 275x8, 315x8, 345x6, burn out 225x12 (as fast as possible, still ATG)
Leg Curl: 135x8, 145x18, 155x8
Hack Squat (these killed me): 325x10, 375x10, 415x8, 465x8 (last 2 forced)
Leg Extention (quads were already shot): 175x10, 195x10, 205x10
Calf Raises on Leg Press: 210x15, 230x15, 250x15, 270x15
With the exception of my calfs I never really see a pump on leg day. I will say I noticed a bit more of a pump in my quads than usual, my veins started to appear again . My calves on the other hand, felt like they were going to explode. Honestly probably the best pump I've seen in my calves, they looked as vascular as my forearms after a good back/bi workout. Didn't notice quite the same pump compared to yesterday, which I didn't expect to. Though the pump was very, very good for a leg day. I did however notice a slight increase in endurance. On my last few sets I was feeling the burn as deep as usual, but I was able to power through them a bit easier. Overall very pleased.

First off, I warned you about your calves. I never really get an astounding pump in my quads either, but the calves are so ridiculous. I actually dose the agmatine split 2/2 on leg days, with the first dose early in the day and then the second dose post-workout to avoid the painful calves pumps (well, sort-of avoid it). I'll bet you're looking forward to tomorrow. Even a light bi/back day will be incredible.
BTW, tech n9ne and Hed PE is great. A few years ago I saw Tech N8ne & Dog Faced Gods in concert on Halloween night. Front row. F*cking EPIC!I'm just here for the gangbang.

Yeah walking was a chore after . I probably looked like I sh!t my pants because I was walking stiff legged. Excited for tomorrow, I'm expecting my arms/lats to blow up after pull-ups.
Tech was in Minnesota not too long ago, but I had prior commitments so I wasn't able to go. I'll be sure to catch him next time, I'd imagine his shows are insane.

Day 3: "Light" Back + Bi (4 caps 60 min pre + EC 15 pre)
Wide Grip Dead Hang Pull-Ups: 10, 10, 10, 10, 8 + 3 after 15 second rest (lats practically exploded after these)
Cable Row: 180x10, 200x8, 220x8, 240x6
Dumbbell Row 60x10, 70x10, 80x10 (went slow and controled to really feel it)
Barbell Curl 70x12, 90x8, 100x6, 80x10
Hammer Curls: 25x12, 25x12, 30x10
Dumbbell Preacher Curls: 25x12, 30x10, 25x12
Crunches x120
This was what I was waiting for. My Lats were killing me after pull-ups, as were my biceps after curls. Pump was the best to date. Also I did begin to notice a true improvement in endurance. On the last set I'm usually only able to get 6 tops, and have to take a min break to get the last 4 (go up to 50+ total). My forearms and biceps looked like road maps. Felt amazing, overall a great session. I whish I had more to try out on my "heavy" back day when I do deads .

Final Thoughts
Over all I think this is a very solid product. I feel that supplement companies underulilize it tremendousely (VERY few even use it). The pumps were insane (at times painful ) and I did notice a bit of extra endurance. The price point of ~$20 for 90 caps is very reasonable for what it delivers. I probably will not pick up a bottle until this summer just because while in school it is tough to dose it properly (unless you're poping pills in class). If you've never tried this product I highly recommend that you pick up a bottle, you won't be disappointed.
Cliffs: JUST BUY IT!
Overall: 9/10
*On a side note, I took 2g of SNS PEA yesterday before cardio. feltgoodman
