A HUGE thanks to EVL rep swolenbeast for picking me to win this awesome stack of EVL
supplements and as I always like to do I will be posting my honest feedback here in this
thread as well as in the bb.com store as I slowly try each of the products and experience
the effects or taste.

EVL SUPER STACK Review ISO,BCAA's, PUMP MODE & ENGN
-
09-30-2020, 04:31 PM #2
First up is the bcaa energy which has your basic bcaa profile and more and YES I use bcaa's each and every time
I train as my intra workout and I've been doing so for MANY years though many say they're useless I personally
enjoy sipping on something tasty while I train and if it's helping me since I train fasted first thing in the early a.m.
I'll take the benefits no matter how small they may be.
The powder at either 1 or two scoops mixed up virtually with no foaming or particles such mix ability for
me was stellar. The flavor which is Cherry Limeade and I've tasted one other EVL supplement in this flavor
is for me FANTASTIC! The cherry flavor hits at about 70% and you get a nice lime finish at 30% with no
bitterness or overly sweet flavor. What you get is a VERY strong flavor which I like cause you can mix a
lot of water such as 20-28oz and the flavor still comes through refreshingly without being watered down.
This has 110mg of natural caffeine at 2 scoops so certain days I used the two scoops as a base for flavor
and the caffeine and I added my pump supplements along with a uncapped thermogenic for more energy and
focus and the flavor worked well on masking the ingredients from the uncapped stimulant as my pre-workout
for the day. If your looking for a bcaa supplement with a bit of kick from caffeine I would definitely recommend
trying this EVL Cherry Limeade flavor if this is the type of flavor your interested in cause it's spot on TASTY!
If cherry lime isn't your thing or maybe you want a bcaa without caffeine I can tell you EVL does a GREAT job
with flavoring on their powdered supplements so I don't think you can go wrong with any of their flavors.

After using Furious Grape ENGN on 4 workouts in the past 2 weeks this is my thoughts on it.
I've used the previous version that is still showing in the bb.com store and it has always deliver
in good clean energy and focus. The version I have is the NEW updated formula where a couple
of ingredients have been changed. Half of the formula is fully disclosed and the rest is in a prop
blend which honestly I have no gripes on prop blends as long as they deliver what they are labeled
to deliver.
The powder mixes up very well with just a bit of foaming at first but after a few seconds it completely
settles and there really wasn't any floaters or residue.
The flavor is Furious Grape and if you like grape flavored Jolly Ranchers which I do then you'll enjoy this
one cause that's exactly what I thought it tasted like and in ice cold water it was enjoyable each and
every time I consumed it.
When it came to serving size 8.3 is the recommended dosage at that would yield 300mg of caffeine but
I'm more of an experienced preworkout user so I weighed it out to 11gm each time and for me the 11gm
dosage was on the money for my liking. The energy which I feel at the dosage I took was ENGN's strongest
feature and it kicked in about 25min after consuming. This was a smooth steady hit of energy that was long
lasting and one of the new ingredients added to formula was VitaShure caffeine so maybe that helped to
prolong the consistent energy flow. There was a light feeling of focus which wasn't as strong a the previous
version which contained ALPHA GPC but the longer lasting energy kind of made up for the lower focus feeling.
Overall 7/10 I gave this version of ENGN a 7 rating and if I'm not mistaken the previous version received a 8/10
because as I mentioned the focus was a bit better. On the front of the tub it says Intense energy, Max Focus,
Amplified Pumps,and Explosive Power and honestly there really ISN'T much in here for pump except for agmatine
sulfate so I would love to see EVL remove the agmatine and just add back ALPHA GPC or CDP and make this
strictly a ENERGY AND FOCUS PW which honestly there is nothing wrong with just a stimulant based PW and
EVL has a separate pump supplement which I will be reviewing next called PUMP MODE.
This is a good PW at the 8.3 serving size for people who are new to pre's or are a bit sensitive to caffeine or
stimulants cause it does deliver good energy and for people who aren't as advanced with nootropics like myself
will feel enough focus from this one and for the more advanced user 11gms for me delivered good sustained
energy to get me through a couple of shoulder/triceps chest/biceps workouts with NO energy crash or side effects
later in the day. One thing I did after opening this was keep it stored in my fridge and I did the same with ENGN
Shred so that it doesn't harden or clump up. I don't use the same pre workout everyday so once air gets into
the tub it will cause it to clump even though it doesn't have citrulline or glycerol so fridge is your best friend for
pre workouts or stimulant based powders. I personally can tolerate yohimbine well so I do have
a few pre's with it so the fact ENGN doesn't have Y in is good to use on days when I want to
give my body a break from the Y so no tolerance is built upLast edited by superhuman67; 10-09-2020 at 03:16 AM.

I actually received PUMP MODE before ENGN so I put it to the test with other pre's before Furious Grape
ENGN arrived and I combined it with pre's that lacked pump ingredients so it definitely enhanced the pump
effects of those pre's.
Looking at the ingredient profile this is NOT the version that is showing in the BB.com store and this is the
NEW version that has the Betaine Nitrate removed and replaced by VASO6. The powder is unflavored which
in my opinion is the way to go if your buying this supplement because it can be mixed with ANY flavored PW
that needs some pump ingredients added to the formula.
The powder mixes up well and you get a little extra foam but it settles quickly, also Glycerol powder always
has a slight chalkiness to it but I personally have NO issues with that because it's just part of the texture of
Glycerol when mixed in water so IF you want a good pump DON'T BITCH about chalkiness again you can't have
Glycerol and not have chalkiness and I noticed just a slight bit from this formula but I've had much more from other
products.
The pump effects are pretty good and the blend of ingredients really take the guess work out and just dump a
level scoop into whatever PW that needs more pump and your GOOD TO GO. This definitely stacks really well
with EVL's ENGN or ENGN Shred and the only ingredient I would have liked to see dosed a bit higher was the VASO6
from 50mg to at least 100mg so that pumps could actually last a bit longer after your gym session but during the
workout the pumps were good but again a bit more VASO6 would have been just right.Last edited by superhuman67; 10-14-2020 at 05:39 AM.

Once I received the ENGN then it's been nothing but a happy marriage between these two supplements and I
definitely recommend if your gonna go with ENGN don't hesitate and grab a tub of PUMP MODE to enhance the
pump experience and the unflavored in my opinion is the way to go cause it will work great with any flavor of
EVL's stimulant based supplements.

Ingredients:
Instantized Whey Protein Isolate, Alkalized Cocoa Powder, Salt, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Silica, Sucralose
Contains: Milk
First off if you look at the ingredient profile you'll see this has NO creamers,gums,or thickeners so if your someone
who's looking for an isolate with MINIMAL ingredients then look no further cause this one is bare bone minimal.
When I first received the tub I right away mixed a scoop with a cup of oats and a little water and placed it
in the fridge for overnight proats. The next morning consuming it I noticed how thin the protein was and it
didn't thicken up at all and the flavor really didn't come through strong at all.
The next day I mixed a scoop with cottage cheese and like the proats I could barely taste any choc and I'm
a choc lover so I almost thought I received a tub where they forgot to add the flavor.
The 3rd time I mixed a scoop with 6oz of ice cold water and YES that's where this flavor which is Double Rich Choc
really shined. It has a candy bar milk choc flavor and because there are no extra ingredients that I mentioned earlier
it mixes very thin but it definitely has a double rich choc flavor mixed in water.
Overall if your someone who is looking for an isolate protein which doesn't have anything but protein, flavor,and
sweetener then this EVL Isolate is definitely worth a try and if a rich milk choc is your thing then I highly recommend
this protein and flavor but if your not a choc fan then go with the vanilla cause I've seen very good feedback on that
flavor also. If your looking for an isolate for overnight proats this one won't fit the bill cause it doesn't thicken up
enough and the flavor isn't strong enough to flavor or sweeten the oats.
