Log for Controlled Labs, WHITE WARPED pre-workout, Sour Gummy Worm flavor.
Thanks to CL for sending a container my way. As a fan of their Green Magnitude/Bulge creatine products, I'm excited to check this out!
Will begin TODAY and will log my workouts for whatever interest anyone finds from it.
1 scoop of White Warped / 4oz of water.
Mixed easily and taste was pretty tart at first. I suppose SOUR Gummy Worm should be, and it was definitely tasty. Not the best flavor I've ever had but far from the worst. Not sure how it'll feel over extended use, but I think think initial sour flavor could keep it fresh. It was cool.
The initial flavor hit hard, with a "sugary" feel, just like eating gummy worms. The aftertaste didn't quite hold as well, but it wasn't bad at all.
I'm pretty picky with stims, and need a hard hitting PWO product to make me feel amped up mentally. I didn't feel that here, but I did get smooth energy and performed as good as any day. I got through my workout pretty quickly today too, maybe due to less rest in between some sets than usual. That's a good sign.
No crash to note either, though I don't think I ever experience that from any PWO I've used.
My split is upper/lower, 2-3x per week. Lower volume but high intensity. It's new to me as of a few months ago, trying to see how my 35+ year old body responds vs. traditional BB style work. So far I've seen better results for certain muscles than others. But that's a story for another day.
Here's today's log:

Iffy diet today and was ready for a nap when I left for the gym. White Warped definitely got me feeling right. Again, no amped-up feeling but smooth mental energy and I physically felt fine as could be. Didn't feel run down despite being tired or my eating being off a bit.

Skipped direct delt & trap work today. This session was hours earlier than usual and I'm very dependent on proper nutrition or I feel off. I was off mentally today, but was fine physically. Killer pump!
Thanks for your initial impressions, :) Keep up the great work
Yea, clean, smooth and consistent energy has been the selling point of all of our preworkout so no surprise here for White Warped. Glad to hear you're enjoying it so far.
Have either of you guys heard any feedback from folks who have issues with caffeine products? My wife would like a PWO to use from to time, but anything with a "kick" usually messed her up. I wonder if the smooth energy hits differently somehow.
I'm tempted to talk her into giving this a shot, but if I'm wrong I'll be hearing it forever - lol.
Full body today since I had to skip upper yesterday.
Played great hockey Thursday, stayed up late for concert last night, and woke up way too early today so I was totally beat.
I swapped direct arm work for heavy compounds after my primary stuff, and just didn't do any direct delt work. I actually felt like I could have thrown it in at the end, but I kept with my plan.
This workout was successful thanks to White Warped and some Valhalla Java this morning to get going in the first place.

Will do traps tomorrow on lower day. Skipped side delts.
One great test for this PWO is that I've been dog tired and worn out way more than usual. I may skip a set or two here and there, but everything I do goes great and my workouts have still been kicking ass.
Plenty of other PWO products, in times like this, end up feeling like they don't even do anything for me. I can't guarantee one does what another doesn't, but I believe I've got enough experience in similar situations to notice a difference. If it came down to it, based on all of this, White Warped definitely hmgets gets the nod over some other competitor items I've tried before. If I got that mental kick, it would be perfect.

Still doing a scoop in just 4oz of water? Nice and strong eh?
Absolutely killing my workouts lately! I was dead tired all day again, had to come in early, and left with more in the tank. If I wasn't under time restraint, I would have done biceps and rear delt work. I'd already put a couple things in to take care of them anyway, but that figures I finally don't feel completely exhausted after a workout and I had to run.
My pumps are awesome with WW, too.
UPPER DAY #2

A bit winded between sets thanks to all the RP and SS work, but once I got going again I was feeling great. Extremely low carb today and didn't miss a beat here aside from maybe an extra minute rest between some muscle groups. Not bad, I'd say.

Skipped traps and will hit them with high pulls tomorrow. It's been a while since I've done those.
Still feeling great with White Warped, even when I feel beat and not fresh for lifting. That's pretty much been my entire time using it too, so it was a great test.
I'll probably log this week's workouts and then stop updating this since I keep another journal here anyway.
My conclusion is 👍👍👍👍
