Taste is the biggest thing lacking in my current pre it isn't horrible but getting one that I actually look forward to drinking is rare. I haven't heard much about the new S.T. except that the taste is great, if it gives me a nice clean boost with no crash then that would be the icing on the cake. Based on my past experience with Universal products, I am sure this is another great one! Thanks for the opportunity guys.

Current Pre-Workout: It's okay I'll say the name lol. Shock Therapy Citrus!
What would I change: Nothing right now. Continuing to have good workouts with it.
What I read and heard: That the new version is better across the board. Better and more updated profile and better flavors. This is what I heard.. from the Universal reps of course! I believe this but would like to see for myself where it counts.. in the gym.
Eligibility Never won (or even applied for anything] from Universal. If chosen, I'd love to try the Lemonade! Different from the original flavors and its refreshing Not enough lemonade flavors out there imo.

My biggest issue with current pre workout products is the lack of true muscle building potential. A 10g scoop can only have so much in it.
I love that the new Shock Therapy formula has everything you need to get huge in a single scoop, and hefty doses at that. Animal RAGE is like a Ferari, streamlined, fast off the blocks, and will fly past competition...but the new ST formula is like a military Hummer with a 50cal attached, it will do everything you need it to do and then still be able to kick ass.
I'd like to try the hard lemonade flavor as it sounds like a different refreshing path to awesomeness.

Very great point TA... For example, Anima Rage has 7-8g per servin. But it was never intended to be a complete, all-in-one preworkout supp. But yeah, Shock Therapy is that. It's around the same servin size as the old Shock and it's intended to be a supp to help ya achieve that "true muscle building potential"...

I'm still on my quest to find that one perfect pre workout. I have used PWO's that gave me great pumps, great energy, great focus, that tasted great, and tremendous endurance, but I have yet to find one that offered all of this. The closest I have come was to add Citrulline Malate to a PWO that gave my great energy and focus - but I think there has to be something better out there. Shock Therapy sounds promising and I would love to be able to "kick the tires" to see if this could be the holy grail of pre workouts. The comprehensive profile has piqued my interest. Would like to try Grape Ape!
YOU WILL PICK ME AS A WINNER OF SHOCK THERAPY!!Last edited by WildBill22; 03-13-2012 at 12:55 PM.

Current Pre Workout
God, have I been through them all. Ones that always promise to have some new edge thats going to help me in the gym or get me past that barrier. Whats the problem behind all of them? They work well maybe for a couple of workouts then its like Im drinking nothing but water from there on out. No affect on me whatsoever. Now whats the point of buying a pre workout that works for only a couple of workouts? Maybe I hit a few PR's or maybe I didn't but now what? As we all know to continue adding bricks to our foundation it takes consistent hard training. So overall where have previous pre workouts failed for me? They weren't consistent.
Shock Therapy
First off, I am absolutely blown away at such an all in one pre workout. It seems like those big boys at universal did their homework and covered me from all angles for a consistent pre workout. Not only am I getting a NO vasodilator, which is where most pre workouts stop, but they are going to cover me from all angles with an intense mental complex, antioxidants, electrolyte support and so on to provide full support for my workout. I have good trust in the boys from universal that this pre workout will be the "Cure Alll" for me. No more ordering 3 pre workouts at a time and cycling them to have an effective workout. Shock Therapy is it. If given the opportunity I would absolutely like to try Grape Ape. Why? Cause it sounds badass as hell. I want to go Ape sh*t on all of my workouts with Shock Therapy!

My current pre workout igh high in energy, but never really gives me that great cumming pump i would like to feel that the great Arnold always talks about! I feel the new shocl therapy would really give me great energy, But also grant me that great Cumming PUMP feeling that I've been missing in the gym!!

I have a couple pretty good preworkouts that I tend to rotate back and forth between. One of them tastes pretty good and gives a nice even, long-lasting energy boost. The other one doesn't taste that great but gives me a stronger boost and more pump.
What I want is something that tastes great and gives me a strong, long-lasting boost and pump. Judging from the ingredients profile above, Shock Therapy is exactly what I'm looking for. The ingredients profile is perfect!
BCAA's
Citrulline Malate
Creatine
Beta Alanine
Tyrosine, etc.
This is a very well formulated PWO and I'd love to try it in the Hawaiian Pump flavor. A lot of companies do a horrible job with fruit punch flavors, but I know Universal does a good job with flavors and I expect that Hawaiian Pump would taste great

I can't wait to test Shock Therapy and just requested a free sample. Honestly, the most impressive part about the new Shock Therapy design is how it covers all my pre workout bases. I currently have to mix four different products together for my pre workout and while I think it is worth it, it is very annoying and it tastes unpleasant to say the least but I just drink it quickly and move on. It would be nice to have something that doesn't taste terrible and saving me 5min every morning would be a nice bonus. Also, I'm a huge fan of Atomic 7 and its a staple of my current set of supps so I expect this product to be of the same quality.
Flavor: Clyde’s Hard Lemonade

The one thing I would change about my preworkout is the sick bloated feeling it gives me. The only reason I use it is because its the strongest ive found.
Im eager to try Grape Shock Therapy because when i lift its all about the pump and from what i hear this is the product to take to get the best pump ever!!!!
