AMP = fu*king awesome! (this sh!t definitely lives up 2 it reputation)!
so, i'm back on stims (after 8 months of being off them), due to XTREME fatigue. i've been DYING to try AMP after i've heard so many great things about it, but the past 8 months i couldn't handle stims (like even 1/3 of a serving of BSN's ephedra free Thermonex in the MORNING would keep me up all nite)...
...well, now my fatigue is back and it's bad enough that EPHEDRA (ANSI's formula), is having NO effect on me after about a week.
...so, i was thinking of ordering some more "T-rex" since that sh!t worked far better (in terms of energy) than ephedra anywayz; but i remembered reading so many great things about AMP and decided to give it a try... my vitamin shoppe actually had it in stock and it made my day!!!!!!!!
like others have said - the kind of "high" is INCREDIBLE in that (at least in my case), i didn't feel the slightest bit jittery (like w/ T-rex, or some of the ephedra formulas i've used); it was this feeling of incredible, "sustained" energy (FYI, i've been doing 60 min cardio/day and today i did 80 min... and WOULD/COULD have gone longer... EASILY, (in terms of my energy levels), but my fu*cking "tree trunk" quads were pretty trashed, so i called it quits at 80 min. in addition to the incredible energy (and complete elimination of my hypoglycemia!), it put me in a really good mood, and it GREATLY improved my concentration. i also noticed some really good appetite suppression, but i'm not expecting that effect to last (there is pretty much NOTHING that has completely stopped my overeating 100% of the time), but at least this will help with things. the most amazing thing was that the high was pretty fu*cking awesome, despite it being a "calm" high... like, at the end of 80 mins of cardio, i felt like i had the energy to go for another 1-2 hours if i so chose... but i also felt that if there were a bed right there in the gym, i could curl up and go to sleep without a problem.
at any rate, (needless to say), i'm pretty fu*king pleased with AMP!  but not at all surprised - its exactly as awesome as everyone's been saying and (after having blood word to prove the effectiveness of 6-oxo), i didn't have any doubts as to whether AMP would do what it says.
PA, your the best!

I wanted to try it, but some reaction scared me off. I don't respond to caffiene much. Actually if I put too much caffiene it makes me just sleepy, with no energ, so this stuff sound good.

I have to use 200 mg of caffiene with 2 AMP capsules to make it work for me. It also have to be on a empty stomach otherwise I feel much even with the caffiene.

Be careful with Amp if your sensitive to stimulants. I get pretty decent, but subtle results on 2 caps. When it first came out I didn't notice very much effect at first,so after some advice from PA I tried 4 caps on an empty stomach and I felt like a crackhead! I literally went through withdrawal after coming down from it, it was not fun.
Just start with 2 caps and work up slowly from there if you don't get much effect from it, trust me!!

i just looked in the bb.com store and it says "do not take more than 3 times per week". Why would it say that? I work out over 3 times a week and if I order a stim I am going to want to take it every time I hit the gym.

o.k. i just seen at the bb.com store that it is a pre workout and fat burner. I am trying to bulk. Will it be good to use, or will it make me burn too much calories?

yes, i'm wondering this as well...I'm going to start a bulk soon and i'll be using an HST routine and I will definately need a stim but not a fat burner. Will it be ok?

By all reports, your body adjusts to it very quickly and the "amped" feeling is lost if you take it all the time. As an appetite suppressant and fat burner it continues to work but the "jazzed" feeling disappears.

From what I've read and from the conjecture about its mechanisms (even PA doesn't seem to know exactly how it works), AMP's thermogenic properties are relatively small compared to its energy and appetite suppression ones. If you could deal with the appetite suppression, it'd probably be a better choice than the combination energy/burner products, many of which are YC-based.

i know EXACTLY what u mean about the delayed reaction - it's amazing... like it will take about 1 hr. b4 i start to feel even slightly different, but around the 1 hr. 45 min - 2 hr. mark, it seems to "hit" me all at once, and i'm like (for lack of a way to express this) - "horney" for cardio  it's like you just wanna f*ckin workout... NOW (but w/o feeling crazed, like on T-rex).
like, today at work i took 1 capsule at 9:00 AM. around 11:00 AM, i was in the lab "pipetting" (actually concentrating pretty good on my experiment) and in the middle of pipetting, i all of a sudden felt like, 'f*ck! i REALLY WANNA WORK OUT RIGHT NOW AND GO FOR A HOURS ON THE ELLIPTICAL!!!' it was so weird cuz usually i don't think of anything except what i'm doing when in the lab, but it was kinda funny too since the thought of working out before noon makes me wanna crawl back into bed.
before my workout this evening i timed it so i took a capsule of AMP about 2 hours before the halfway mark of my cardio, and had another kicka$$ workout - only did 62 today cuz my legs were sorta tired from having done 80 min yesterday (but i felt as though i had the energy/stamina to keep going for another 1-2 hours, if my quads weren't sore).

I think all energy type supplements are like that. I cant think of any energy type pre workout supplement that you wouldnt get used to if you took several consecutive days a week . I take ready4war which I like and it kicks in fast but even that I just take twice a week .

It gives me great energy . I took it thinking it was glorified caffeine and would be so so nothing big but its stronger than caffeine. Caffeine is actually the main ingredient in most energy type supplements.
A scoop is 300mg caffeine but you can dose lower. Its stronger than just the caffeine. It has a lot of other stuff in it. You can feel its more than just caffeine.
I take it like 20 minutes on empty stomach before going to gym and it lasts for my workout easily and around 2 hours more. My workouts are roughly 90 minutes.
Its not good tasting at all but not horrid either I mention this because I know many into taste but as long as it works I dont care. I mix it with white grape juice and drink it.
I tried it early summer and to this day it works ( I only take it Mon-Wed at 6am before I workout). I know I would certainly get used to it if taken 4 days a week but I imagine that goes for anything.
I prefer it over ephedrine which I think is great for energy but it made me jittery and put me in a bad mood ready4war doesnt have those negative side effects . I recently tried Amp which a friend gave me (took 4 pills)and found ready4war woke me fast and I felt like going to gym. Amp didnt give me the same wake up type feeling but great once I got started as far as reps,etc but cant really say one is better than the other.
Ready4war for me works best on empty stomach as it kicks in fast and again thats applicable to all energy supplements.
I think the co would sell more of it if they sent out free samples but thats their bussiness.

OMFG!!! i am LOVING AMP!!!!!! jeez, today is like my 4th day on the stuff and (by far) the strongest high i've gotten off it yet... (and the strongest effects on suppressing my appetite too
i've been on it since tues and taken it every day since then (with the exception of thurs, my day off from cardio). thurs was a weight lifting day, so i took 2 caps of my ANSI hydroxadrine formula which is actually a very nice high too - it don't crash on it, and it's great if i want a shorter, more "powerful" high; AMP is MUCH MUCH better for a sustained high (ENDURANCE); another difference is that AMP like prevents me from getting in a bad mood... like the high i get from ephedra puts me in a good mood too... but it's like a double-edged sword... if something pisses me off (like getting on the scale thrus before my workout, after a week of @$$ busting cardio/less cals, only to find that i had gained 3 lbs.  ), that high turns into like a rampage, hehe! but at least it worked out well; i have my BEST lifting workouts when i am pissed off.
today was wonderful though... i was (STILL) high as a kite at like 8:00 PM (4 hours after my 2nd capsule of AMP), and couldn't sit still... so i decided to go over to the carnival that came to town. hehe... went on the flying swings... and all i've got to say is WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!  next time i go to a carnival/amusement park, i am definitely going to take AMP beforehand!!! it makes the rides 100x more exciting!

i dont post much in this forum, i just read threads..but i have to say, i bought amp to see if it lived up to what it claims, and wowwwwwwww. you get the best "high" off this than any other energy product. once it kicks in you get motivated to work. not just workout, but work...do anything but sit on your ass..it even makes me focused enough to want to do homework. after i take it 45 min before my workout, i have amazinggg workouts, then when im done i still have the energy and the same great mood. great product. amp=the best supplement i have bought.
