Betancourt Pure-Amino

[mivi320]

Big thanks to Rick and Betancourt for allowing me log this product for you guys. Looking forward to it.

My goals are simple: get stronger and recover from session to session.

Without further ado, the first session and INITIAL review..

Taste: 8.5/10: Fruit punch and the product tastes great. BCAAs are hard to flavor, but BN did a fantastic job with the flavoring system here. Good taste (fruit punch isn't my favorite, but really good flavoring which makes it manageable). Great job here BN.

Pump 9.5/10: I usually don't get a pump from BCAA products, but tonight's session was mind-blowing in terms of the pump. Could be the citrulline malate in here, but the pump I had in my delts was amazing. Really cool stuff -- hoping to see what happens with the remainder of the log in this dept.

Endurance: 8/10: Hard to judge from one session, but felt really refreshed and ready to go set after set tonight.

More details

Took 1 scoop about 30 mins pre workout. No gastric discomfort, product mixes great. Nothing but good stuff for the initial day. The workout:

Notes:

This product has been a life saver. Been feeling really run down lately and this stuff has given me some good energy to power through AND RECOVER through workouts. Noticeable decrease in soreness and fatigue. Definitely an increase in recovery time. All is good thus far. The taste is a bit "off" but I understand BN is working on fixing this for future batches. Overall, great stuff. More to come.

[mvd546]

Couple of very strong sessions on the benching and squats.
