Time to wrap things up. It's been a good run so far, and I wanted to post my final thoughts on DSTUNNER. When I rate a preworkout I always look at their claims in the bb.com store, and see how my experience stacks up against that. Here's what Betancourt had to say:

The D Stunner™ features an advanced stimulytic blend of with REV-PEA™ which supports a no crash, sustained energy experience.* REV-PEA™ is an advanced blend of energy and focus promoting phenylethylamines which support the release of epinephrine and norepinephrine, 2 powerful neurtransmitters.**

The stimulant blend also features N-Methyltyramine which aids in preventing the breakdown of supplemented PEA. To promote boosts in performance and nitric oxide levels, D Stunner™ utilizes GlycoCarn® which is supported by research to promote the production of nitric oxide for the muscular ‘pump’ during exercise.* The combination of 3,7-dimethylpurine-2,6-dione and N-Methyltyramine HCl presents a new age advancement in the pre-workout category as it aids in breathing capacity.* This advancement combined with Quercetin (Quercetin may boost aerobic performance through muscle mitochondria) may lead to the maintenance of oxygen uptake.*
•Features GlycoCarn®, research suggested to enhance nitric oxide production.**
•Support breathing capacity and oxygen uptake for enhanced performance.**
•‘Tunnel Vision’ focus to support strength and exercise performance.**
•Carnosyn® Beta Alanine for improving muscular endurance.**


So essentially they're promising good pumps, solid energy delivery, endurance, and tunnel like focus.

Pumps8/10 I had a few bodybuilding type days with higher reps and some curls and what not. And I had some pretty decent pumps. I'm usually not looking for a pump so this wasn't a make or break thing. But if you enjoy a pump, you will get one with DSTUNNER.

Energy 9.5/10 TONS. The stims in DSTUNNER work great. If you're new to preworkouts, start with a scoop. This stuff packs a punch. If you're a stim junkie, you're gonna love it.

Endurance9/10 I recently switched from a lower volume program to what I'm doing now. Adapting to the volume was a little rough, but I definitely think having a good preworkout helped keep my dialed in.

Focus9/10 It was there. When I was training, I was locked in.

A few categories I like to rate things on:

Taste6/10 This was the only category that DSTUNNER didn't really impress me with. The taste was a bit sour for me, and I ended up with a mix of that and gatorade, which I did enjoy. I had the fruit punch, so I can rate the other flavors.

Mixability 8/10 The product mixed really well. I was a little concerned with the clumps when I opened the powder, but they mixed right up.

No Crash9/10 This one is important to me. I've got a 4 year old and a newborn, so I need to be dialed in when I'm in the gym, but I can't deal with a crash after. I need to be able to function and spend time with the kids. I didn't crash at all from DSTUNNER.

Cost/Benefit8/10 If you buy one tub you're looking at about 1.00 per serving, which is fairly normal with preworkouts these days. But right now the store has buy two get one free. So that drops the cost per serving to a pretty good price.


Side Effects
Nothing major to report. No tolerance buildup. 1 scoop pretty much did it for me the whole time. I got a nasty headache on two occasions but I'm not so sure that it wasn't sinus pressure.

Training
My training went pretty well this month. I had a few setbacks. I had a nasty stomach bug one week and I had a few aches and pains here and there. That being said I still managed to improve my work capacity, and hit some PRs.
Starting PRs:
365x1 squat, 475 4" block pull, 160ish push press.
New PRs:
365x2 squat, 485 2" block pull. ALmost had 500 but lost balance. 170 pound push press. 225x3 two board press.

I didn't have a lot of test days but I definitely got stronger this month.

Overall, if you're looking for a new preworkout and want something that is pretty strong, pick up some DSTUNNER. If you're stim sensitive approach with caution, this is the real deal.

Great review man. I have a feeling many of us that are running D-Stunner are going to be providing similar feedback.

If you got a personal log that you are running, PM me it brotha.
