Gigg's Review of Xtreme Formulations Relentless
Final Review of Relentless
BUY HERE!
Taste: 9/10 Now I'm only basing my opinion on taste against other PWO's that have a chocolate flavoring (Core PWO)... I'm not a big fan of chocolate taste after a workout, but I really couldn't hate since it actually tasted pretty damn good. Thinking back I might actually say its the best chocolate flavor I've tasted in a supp. I found about 16oz of water to be ideal for taste and smoothness.
Mixability: 9/10 No problems here I just threw it in my bb.com water bottle and it was all good. No clumps, particles, sticking to bottle, what so ever.
Texture/Appearance: 8/10 Just because I wasn't a big fan of looking at a brown colored bottle to drink after my workout, haha. As for everything else it mixes great and instantly. It also has no particles that float around either after mixing, that occurs with many BCAA products and PWO's.
Price: 9/10 Obviously Toad was generous enough to hit me up with a bottle, but after scowling the many supp site you can find if for a steal IMO.
Effectiveness: 8.5/10 Now, I've had my fair share of PWO's and I'm not gonna lie my favorite still is Designer Supp's Replenish. However, I do feel that this is very close rival and can't argue with its effectiveness ( I guess I just prefer watermelon  ). I used this primarily during my low carb diet and feel it helped out tremendously with my recovery while having little to no carbs. Often times going so low on Carbs I noticed I dragged more in the gym and my recovery was pretty lousy, but with Relentless I did start to feel my recovery was on the rise and the carbs in Relentless had no negative effect on my diet at all. I've always been fairly skeptic with PWO's compared to whole food, but when it boils down to it, its just that much easier on me downing serving of Relentless then having to rely on preparing a meal.
Final Thoughts: I'd like to thank the guy's at XF and Toad especially for giving me the opportunity to test out Relentless. I can say without a doubt its one of the best PWO Supp's I have used. If I could nit pick for one second... I just wish they could come out with some sort of fruity flavor and I would purchase Relentless for life ( if it tasted good  ). I actually have another bottle on the way and I plan to use it for 2 tubs throughout my cut which is coming up very soon. So, be on the lookout and I will probably do another review where I can get a little more in depth and see if Relentless works out just as well the 2nd go around. Hopefully, I have bestowed some helpful info on whether or not you think Relentless if for you... If not please feel free to ask more questions and I will address them no prob  . Thanks again to all and be on the lookout for the 2nd review....

Here's a Relentless alternative to consider:
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/nova/cyto.htm
1 scoop of Watermelon
+
1 heaping scoop Fruit Punch ICE
1/2 scoop Vanilla Ultra Peptide 1.0
10 grams SuperCarb
I've done this quite a bit and have had great results. It's not too expensive either if you have most of those other products on hand, and of course tha taste is right up your alley.
Thanks for your review!

I'm surprised that site has the sale up. I tried to get that going for weeks and they weren't hearing it.

It's a great product if you're not carb-phobic. Very little difference in terms of net results between Cytofuse and Relentless. Tha awesome flavors make it worth a test drive IMHO.

I'll probably pick some up for summer when I run out of Relentless as I've got some Xtend to run through anyway. 1 Scoop Relentless pre and post has been my routine for a while now. I am the exact opposite of carbaphobic

Pretty good product if you want something cheap and effective. Since BSL watermelon Whey Supremacy has been discontinued, Cytofuse picks up the slack when I crave that flavor.
