Neurostim Sample Feedback

covert ash · 10-05-2004, 10:41 PM

First and foremost, thank you Scivation for providing us with the free sample packs. I recieved mine today in the mail and had to try it out for tonight's workout, which was chest, shoulders, and triceps.

Normally, I take Black Star Labs' GO and Nitro-Jet about 30 minutes before I go lift. Tonight, in place of GO was, naturally, Neurostim.

I can't comment too much on taste as I mixed it with Nitro-Jet. And for those of you that use Nitro-Jet, you well know of the strong, nasty taste that nothing can really hide. However, I will say that after I finished drinking my concoction that it left a more pleasant lemony aftertaste in my mouth.

Anyhow, once I got to the gym, my mindset was clear and I felt ready to take on my workout. Upon performing my warm up sets for the flat bench press, it seemed easier to focus and find "the groove," whereas, usually it takes me some time to hype myself up to get into that zone.

While I didn't set any new PR, I seemed to blow right through my five sets on the flat bench press and moved right along to the next exercise, which was the Hammer Strength Incline Bench Press. The focus and intensity was still very strong and again, the three sets that I performed seemed to just fly by.

The remainder of my workout wasn't any different. There were times when I looked at the clock and had to tell myself to slow down because I kept jumping into the next set too quickly. It wasn't until my last set, which was a superset of Skull Crushers and Cable Pushdowns that I started to lose focus. But that probably had more to do with the girl performing dumbell lunges in her short, shorts than anything else.

Regardless, I must've looked like a frantic maniac to the few people who were there because I ended up finishing my workout a little over 15 minutes earlier than expected.

I have to say that I am really impressed with just this one sample of Neurostim. I have been a long time user of GO and I don't ever recall having it hit me as quickly as Neurostim did, although the effects of GO seem to last longer when it does take effect. This might have something to do with GO having some caffeine in it. Perhaps, if Neurostim was combined with some caffeine as well it could actually be the ultimate GO killer.

However, the price is probably the one thing holding me back from actually wanting to use this for every workout. Personally, I would use Neurostim in emergency situations for those really tough days where I don't think I could survive my gym sessions. If I had better cash flow, though, it would be a totally different story.

Ultimately, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a great preworkout drink that promotes mental clarity and focus, quickly (and doing so without any CNS stimulants).

This is great to hear!

Feedback is always appreciated, and that was one heck of an in-depth feedback!

Anytime, Marc.

I'll be putting in my order later next week when I get paid. I can feel the emergency situations coming up as I am only into the second week or dieting down.

Yes, it's pretty ass backwards to diet down during the Fall and Winter, but I have a competition to win at my workplace. I'll need every advantage I can get; unfair as it will turn out to be.

I just got my sample, I tried it and it did absolutely nothing to me, i thought it would have some effect when I was lifting but it all went the same. I noticed though you guys put way toooooo much citric acid in this crap, I had it mixed with 32 oz of water and it was still so damn sour, it did remind me of some freakin strong ass lemonade though. I truely believe because it did nothing to me and its so expensive I wouldn't reccomend this product at all.

Wow. I'm sorry you didn't like it.

At least give us credit for standing behind our product and letting people try it before buying it. Most people feel it and love it, which is why we wanted to give people the chance to experience Neurostim free of charge.

I got mine and tried it before a night time cardio session. I didn't want to go the gym at all, but after I got there my workout went well. I can't say whether it was the neuro stim or not but I felt pretty good on a crappy day. Im thinking of picking up a container. I didn't mind the taste. Tastes better than other supps I've choked down in the past

haha, try drinking a few grams of choline then come back and talk about taste.

You may want to do a "test run" rather than taking it before the SAT's for the 1st time.

Totally agree.

Never count on anything for special events if you've never used it before.

Is this the first nootropic type formula that you've ever used? If so it's going to be hard to differentiate what it feels like to be "on" and what it feels like to be "off."

I remember when I first started on nootropics I couldn't tell a difference with anything. It really takes time and patience to be able to realize the difference some nootropics make.

Well this will be my 4th time taking it (and final). Thing is, if I give it a test run and like the effects then I wouldn't be able to order any for the test day (sat).
