First off I want to give a big shout out to PsBreaux for sending me a box full Karbolyn & a small pack of I-Load along with a sweet T-Shirt(wish it was an XL though haha) The image shows 50g of carbs in Karbolyn but the sample packs I had were 40g of carbs.
I had the pleasure of trying Orange Burst Karbolyn & Strawberry Popsicle. Damn I must say both of these flavors were excellent. Each time I mixed my sample packets with 1 scoop of my Vanilla Myofusion for my preworkout meal. The Orange Burst mixed with the Vanilla Myofusion was F'n delicious. It tasted like a cold vanilla orange creamsicle( I refridgerated the mixture overnight). Here is a look at the Orange Burst mixed with Vanilla Myofusion.
The foam uptop is just after mixing it. The taste of the Strawberry Popsicle was F'n delicious as well and literally to me tasted like an ice cream dessert. I recommend having it cold cause that just hits the spot. I was very surprised how well both flavors mixed with my protein. I used 2 scoops of Vanilla Myofusion & 2 sample packs of Karbolyn in 12 oz of water each time & mixture was great.
With I-Load the directions state to take 1 pill with 75-100 grams of carbohydrates. Advanced users may take 2 capsules with at least 80-100 grams of carbohydrates 30-45 minutes prior to training.
I would follow the recommend dosing for each time, consuming 1 I-Load pill with 2 packets of Karbolyn & 2 scoops of Myofusion Vanilla 20 minutes before training.
HOLY HELL WERE THE PUMPS DOMINANT. I run a 4 day split currently which is Chest/Biceps, Legs, Shoulders/Traps/Triceps, Back. Each training day I had a pump. I typically find it hard for me to get a pump in my shouldes. With I-Load & two servings of Karbolyn my shoulders blew up with a strong pump. It was pretty sweet to have a pump & I typically don't train for a pump but with Karbolyn & I-Load I found myself catering my workout just to get more out of the two products. Drop sets, partial reps, super sets etc all were implemented to get a sick pump. Mission accomplished. If your looking into a "pump product" or one that works out for the pump def check these two products out.
With Karbolyn I experienced no GI issues of any sort which was great cause the last thing anybody wants is a messed up stomach before working out. I noticed I was more vascular & "swole" during my workouts which was a cool ego boost. Each time I flexed I just felt like my muscle was so pumped, it was a good feeling to say the least.
I would say Karbolyn def helped me push through my workouts. I've been off stimulants for 2 weeks almost now and was dreading working out on some days without that extra kick but was surprised Karbolyn gave me a great push naturally in the gym. I even set some PRs such as hitting my 275lb Deadlift which is one step closer to 300.
I don't want to keep mumbling but I will wrap it up like this. The combo of I-Load & Karbolyn was GREAT! Both Orange Burst & Strawberry Popsicle were delicious when mixed with my Vanilla protein. The pumps were very very strong, my energy in the gym I feel was improved & helped me push for some PRs, I was way more vascular & felt my muscle were more "swole during my workouts. I would def buy these two in the future and recommed others to check them out.
Thanks again PSBreaux and the guys/girls over at Professional Supplements.

No prob man, Def. looking forward to trying it since I aint a big fan of Intra products and everytime I pick one up half way in I get sick of it and give it away to a friend and go back to my gatorade powder. Love the clean and simple profile of Pure Karbolyn which is why I got 2 tubs sitting in my cart to be ordered soon as I try all the flavors 40 bucks shipped for the 4.4lb tub is very well priced also. (Will update this post when I get home from the gym tonight)

Actually just finished my last couple scoops of Vanilla Trutein last week and I'm all out. I'm going to be useing it as Intra the majority of the time because shakes before the gym dont work well with me so I'm leaning towards Straw and Orange, I'm a strawberry nut so I got a feeling I will love that flavor the most.
Well I did one sample pack (40g) in my 16.9oz water bottle, It mixed very well and put it in the freezer 1.5hrs before the gym so it would be nice and cold thru my workout. It tasted exactly like the sugar free popsicles. I did notice the pumps half way thru my workout a little more then normal but overall its a solid product but its too early to tell how effective it is after one workout.Last edited by GymRat128; 08-09-2011 at 09:16 PM.
