Hi. I'm on an aggressive fat loss program right now and considering taking both Hemavol (non-stimulant pre workout) and Purple wraath (Bcaa's) together in a drink before or during my workout.
I don't like stimulant supplements particularly because I get anxious on them (sensitive to caffeine) and hate the jittery feeling.
Has anyone mixed them both and is it worth the buck?
Cheers
I'm stacking Hemavol with EVL ENGN. But that's a stim.
You'll be fine. All 3 products in this thread are really quality stuff. I like purple wrath too
With that said, you could prob get away with just Hemavol

Aren't purple wraath and hemavol different products though? THat's the reason I mixed them together.

They are. If you can afford both go for it.
stack looks good to go from my end!
not sure how they would taste together (do they have matching flavors?), I would go hemavol pre and purple wraath intra.
absolutely, that would be a great stack. what flavor of purple wraath were you looking at?

As stated above I'd go Hemavol preworkout and Purple Wraath intra. Both are quality products though
Damn hemavol and purple wraath would be crazy. I love purple wraath intra... and all day lol
Those two products are both stellar and would make an excellent mom stim workout stack!
I'd suggest using Hemavol Pre workout and Wreath intra workout though.
Sounds like a great stack. What flavors were you thinking and will you let us know how they taste when you mix them? I'm a little curious to that :)
[QUOTE=TrainerTone;1487202051]As stated above I'd go Hemavol preworkout and Purple Wraath intra. Both are quality products though[/QUOTE]i agree with this timing :)
Thank you for all the responses! Wow, that's great I'm on the right track.
So I fill up 1 scoop of Hemavol (Blueberry Pomegranate) and 1 scoop of Purple Wraath (Juicy Grape) together in a shaker bottle filled with water.
The taste is very sweet together, but I find the sweet taste wakes me up (especially when my workout is in the morning) and it gives me a pump. I actually sweat more than usual during my workout too.
I usually drink this on my way to the gym but I never finish it beforehand, the drink usually lasts during my workout anyway.
I will take your advice about having Hemavol as pre-workout and Purple wraath as intra.
I've also been interested to find out whether the Bpi CLA & L-Carnitine product is any good for cutting? Hmm. I'm getting mixed stories on it.
Juicy Grape
Agreed. This would be an EXCELLENT pre-workout stack. Good energy, very nice pump, excellent flavoring .... it's a win-win!

the best thing for cutting is eating in a calorie deficiency, track your food intake my brother.

This. Hemavol is great is you want pumps while lifting. BCAAs (EAAs actually with Purple Wraath) are not necessary if you're meeting your macro. Taking them together isn't going to hurt you, but the amino acid side isn't going to do anything for you really. It'll flavor your water and CLs flavors are solid.

Yep, I'm tracking my macro's and am on a calorie deficit. I'm 5'4, weighing at 172lbs (probably about 28-29% body fat) looking to get to 154lbs (between 15-20% body fat).
I'm currently eating about 1500 calories max and strength train 3 times a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) to retain muscle strength. I have a very good base, just need to strip the fat first.
I'm only using supplements to aid the fat loss, not completely relying on it.
By the way - what's the difference between EAA and BCAA? I thought I was taking BCAA with purple wraath. Still learning and I find that I understand what I'm reading on these forums more than articles online. They almost sound like you need a PhD to understand them.
Cheers

Def, lemon comes in both products and both products have awesome flavoring systems! Or drink em separate! Two elites in there category. I personally love purple wraath and use it all the time. I highly suggest looking into the newer Hemavo2 Max if you have not already over Hemavol. It is worth the upgrade :)

Good deal on the diet Sam, but neither of those supps are going to necessarily "aid" fat loss. Purple Wraath has more than than just leucine, isoleucine and valine (Branched Chain amino acids), it also has the full spectrum of Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) in Leucine, Valine, Isoleucine, Lysine, Arginine, histidine, threonine, methionine, phenylalanine plus other stuff.
The reality is that if you're meeting your macro you're getting plenty of amino acids across the EAA and non-essential (NEAA) spectrum that supplementing with additional free-form aminos is unnecessary. If you like the taste of PW and like the addition of BA, Cit Mal, Betaine, etc, then go for it. The reality is that it's not helping you lose fat though.

No. Don't waste your $ on it - won't really harm you, but won't help noticeably. I would just use the money on more PWO, Wraath, food, fish oil, etc....

Good call Mike, the HydroMax definitely makes it worth it. Flavoring (between OG Hemavol and Hemavo2 Max) is almost identical as well ... both are fantastic :)

Can't leave out those nitrates also, which greatly enhances hemavo2 max performance over the OG version.
