MP Assault - Fruit Punch Review

About Me:
Age: 31
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 195.8 (as of 11/7)
BodyFat: ? (hope to get that measured tonight)

I had such a great reponse to the 8 serving Orange Mango that I decided to go all out and do a full tub of the Fruit Punch. I"ll be using Assault as my pre-wo on training days. I'm also doing Jamie Eason's LiveFit - which is working very well for me (on week 4 right now). I'll post my macros later when I have access to them.

Day 1 - Monday 11/7 - Chest/Triceps
Wide Pushups - 3 sets of 12 (on knees)
Incline Dumbbell Press - 3 sets of 10 @ 17.5lbs
Flat Bench Flyes - 3 sets of 10 @ 12.5lbs
Bench Press - 3 sets of 10 @ 55lbs (personal best)
Close Grip Bench Press - 3 sets of 10 @ 45lbs
Lying EZ-Bar Tricep Ext - 3 sets of 10 @ 25lbs
Dumbbell Tricep Kickbacks - 3 sets of 10 @ 15lbs
Overhead Two-Handed Tricep Ext - 3 sets of 10 @ 15lbs
Tricep Cable Pushdown w/ Rope - 3 sets of 10 @ 45lbs

MP Assault - Fruit Punch Review
Taste = 10/10
It smelled like a Pixiestick and tasted like someone switched my pre with koolaid or something. Has a great taste. Definitely not something I'll get tired of. Feels like I'm getting a treat before I go kill myself @ the gym.

Mixibility= 10/10
Didn't notice any floating particles of powder and didn't taste any. Best mix I've seen yet.

Energy = 10/10
For today it gave me a great boost of energy after a long day of working. Sometimes I need a little pick me up and this did the job. Plus, I was able to fall asleep just fine!

Pumps = 9/10
Definitely noticed some pumps. Could really feel the muscles while I was pushing them. Lifted heavier than I had been last week, which pumped me up!

Stamina = 9/10
Only got tired towards the end, but I was pushing myself really hard and I added about 15 mins and 2 more exercises so that might have had something to do with it. I got a 2nd small rush when I was just about done. Got me through the end w/ a little to spare for home.

Overall = 10/10

I can tell this helped me push harder as my chest is feeling it today. Not painful just sore - the signs of a great workout! Had to take a week off legs so I can't wait to Assault them tonight.

PS. I'm really digging the MP colors right now. Random I know!

MP Assault - Fruit Punch Review
Taste = 10/10
Still the same great fruit punch taste, I really love it. Doesn't seem like I am taking a pre at all just drinking some fruit punch. Esp since it was nice and cold when I drank it!!

Mixibility= 9/10
Had a few particles, but I used colder water this time so I think that was it. Nothing bad. Barely noticable.

Energy = 10/10
Great energy for a tough workout. Helped power me through a good leg workout. Hit me just as I was getting to gym!

Pumps = 9/10
Noticed more pumped leg muscles, I know most people use arms for pumps. But I can feel it in my legs as well. And it's a great feeling.

Stamina = 9/10
This was one tough workout and I kept through the entire thing. Assault helped push me to a new level. I was exhausted when I was done, but I never quit during the workout. Loving the way it's making me feel and I'm only using 1/2 a scoop! Good deal!

Overall = 10/10

Hadn't trained legs in 1.5 weeks or so do to a pulled muscle so today's workout was important. Assault helped me push through and no leg pain today. Added some weight to my seated calf raises (those burn!!) and to my squats! Tomorrow is my day off so I'll be back on Thurs w/ a new review! Still loving everything about Assault, so much that I'm thinking about picking up some Combat next time I get the funds!

Taste = 10/10
Still the same great taste! Definitely a treat after the day I had. Don't think I could get tired of this one.

Mixibility= 10/10
Nothing has changed here either, still mixed completely.

Energy = 10/10
Definitely needed this today. Had to unexpectedly push my workout back almost 2 hrs, eventhough I had already consumed 1/2 of my assault before finding this out I was still able to maintain great energy throughout my whole workout. Slammed the 2nd half right before getting to gym. It definitely pushed me through.

Pumps = 9/10
Great pumps today. Pushed myself to the limits.

Stamina = 9/10
Had great stamina during today's workout. I probably could have gone a lot longer, but I had to get back home. Loving the effects.

Overall = 10/10

Assault has yet to let me down. Helped me push through a hard day and still didn't crash at the end. Love the way it makes me and my muscles feel. Great product!

Overall = 10/10

This was a tough workout. Haven't done cardio in over 5 weeks. Busted out the 30 min run (yes it was slow, but thats all I can handle) and didn't give up. Loved the results.

Was really looking forward to this workout. I love a good leg workout. Killed my legs. Gotta love that hard to walk feeling. Makes driving my manual car home a challenge sometimes too! No pain no gain.

Stamina = 10/10
Nice long hard workout. Sundays are great for that. Made it through the whole thing, felt like I could have gone longer!

Overall = 10/10

Weather was pretty blah so my initial motivation was low. Once I got into the gym I hit it hard. Was a great workout. The energy lasted me throughout the day and through 2 great soccer games. Glad I had that extra boost. And an added bonus was taking home the 1st place trophy. Esp since none of us thought they would make it through the season LOL Off to Areas now!
