Here's Pt. 1 of a two part review I'll be doing with this supp. Thank you AEN for sending me a tub to review!

Very nice, thank you for taking the time, looking forward to the part 2 review. Let me know if you have any questions on the formulation.

Regarding the creatine comment you made 2.5-3g a day is all that needed to build/maximize creatine muscle concentrations, established in the research years ago. No harm going into the 3-5g range as you mentioned but the 3g in SteelEdge will easily get the job done. Regarding the citrulline malate comment, the 4g in one serving of SteelEdge is great from both an effective perspective as well as not having you run to the bathroom during your workout when you try and jam 6-8g at one time.

Regarding the beta-alanine, which we as a company have put out more information than any other as well as helped develop the entire category, 1.6-2g of beta-alanine at one time is maximum your body is absorbing. Taking 3 or more grams at once, is just plain silly and not any better than taking a lower un wasted dose.

A preWO formula, needs to take many things into account, a big one is its concentration in water and how it hits your gut and how it effects fluid uptake at the gut and tissue level. You want a formula that is not over concentrated/hyperosmatic which will pull fluid from the blood back into the gut.

A preWO is not the best tool to try and get everything in at once and our goal with SteelEdge, was maximum research backed doses, while taking into account GI distress and optimal osmolality.

Thanks for the explanation on how and why Steeledge was formulated. I'll try and touch on these points in my final video after I've used up all of it. So far I've had a pretty good experience with AE supps. Keep up the good work!

Good stuff man nice in depth review!

Another solid review, I like your no hype, no BS style.

Regarding your comments on how there's no drop off in energy or strung out feeling at the end of your workout, that can be attributed to the time release caffeine and the SENSORIL Ashwagandha.

And you were spot on regarding your texture comment, it's occurring from the WMS which is a starch. The WMS we use is 99% amylopectin, which the quick digesting component within WMS. WMS is composed of the starches amylose(slow digesting) and amylopectin(fast digesting), being that SteelEdge is taken 1 hour less prior to training, the fastest digesting carbohydrate is the best choice.

Looking forward to your final review and of course feel free to post any questions you may have in your thread and I'll be sure to answer them.

Thanks. I try and be as unbiased and objective as I possibly can when doing reviews.

Great stuff boss. I still appreciate that water cut info you gave me in the fam thread a while ago.

Thanks for the review.

Thank you AEN for the opportunity to review this preworkout. Overall I liked it and it provided me with good clean consistent energy with no crash or weird sides.

Nice reviewing of the Steel Edge. I'm finding it to be a pretty good pre-workout supplement.

SteelEdge now is a new formula, but has inherited the name of AEN's first pre workout
