ERGOPUMP

Information about ERGOPUMP!

ERGOPUMP is ErgoGenix’s entry in the pre-workout performance category. Athletes of all types will benefit from ERGOPUMP NMT’s Energy & Muscle Amplification formula. ERGOPUMP NMT works to enhance Energy, Focus and Performance. This scientifically designed, cutting-edge formula works to augment blood flow by promoting nitric oxide production, as well as improving cognitive function.

KEY ELEMENTS:

• Reduce pre-workout fatigue with a sustained boost in energy
• Augments short- and long-term energy stores for explosive power and prolonged endurance
• Increased blood flow to working muscles and constantly supplies them with the needed substrates oxygen, phosphocreatine, and glucose

ERGOPUMP BENEFITS:

• Enhanced alertness and energy will assist in a strong mind and body relationship for even the toughest workouts
• Recover quickly with simple carbohydrates and antioxidants, ensuring back-to-back training days will not be hindered
• Stimulates ideal conditions for muscle contractility, reducing evidence of fatigue-related force deficits
• Promotes muscular aerobic and anaerobic capacity for maximal results under any training or competition conditions
• Promotes optimal body composition from enhanced free-fatty acid utilization and glycogen sparing; burn more fat while building muscle
• Enhance blood flow where you need it the most (muscles), assisting in byproduct removal and energy and oxygen delivery

How tempting!

In on this. Late to the game behind the other reps but sure enough I'm here. PUMP is my favorite pre to date, workouts for days and still revved up ready for more.

2nd set: 100lbs (7 reps)----45lbs (10 reps)

Initial rating of the product

Mixability:

9/10


I used about 1 scoop of ERGOPUMP with about a full glass of water. I used a spoon to mix the powder. I gulped down the whole glass as fast as possible. Most of the powder had mixed into the water. There were some tiny red particles and powder that settled to the bottom of the glass. Obviously that's normal, I suck at mixing haha I filled the cup with a bit of water and drank the rest


Flavor:

10/10


Hands down this is one of the best pre-workouts I have tasted, I've been trying different samples of pre-workouts I've gotten from some companies and friends, and this one is one of the best. I enjoy drinking it and I could probably could just eat the powder too!


Energy/Focus:

9/10


First off I usually take piracetam and some nootropics to focus when studying, it's an intense focus in whatever I'm doing. This is a similar feeling I had with this pre-workout! It was like a breath of fresh air again from some sleepless nights from studying. It might be the "N-Methyltyramine" About 20 minutes after taking ERGOPUMP, I was hyped up and motivated to go to the gym. At the gym I kept pushing myself to hit those extra couple of reps. In the end it was an amazing workout with no crash!

Cons for the Initial Testing:

So far nothing, first time taking it. Let's see how long before I hit diminishing returns lol
Wouldn't have mind if it had beta alanine in it though!

Pros for the Initial Testing:

The overall taste of ERGOPUMP is great. Almost candy like
Took it on an empty stomach, no issues what-so-ever
The focus and energy is really potent but nothing over the top, it's mental focus is great as well

[MuscleMom]

Nice initial feedback.

(Suck at mixing or need a shaker :P )

[MuscleMom]

Any updates?

[pastorpritch]

Nice to see about the mental focus, that sustained energy is what I like

[qstick99]

How tempting!

Very! I enjoy this stuff with some ErgoBurn! Splended combo if I say so!

Hands down this was a good workout with ERGOPUMP, had around 5-6 days out the gym and felt lighter but the weight kept going up this week! Oh and I also used the pre workout twice this week to study. Worked out pretty well

Cons :

Still no complaints! All smooth sailing

Pros :

Still loving the flavor, pumps & energy!

[MuscleMom]

Just checking in! Hope you are getting some better rest this week.

[ampUP11]

I admit I used pump a few times instead of coffee to get through the day. Taste is out of this world right? lol

[pastorpritch]

Strong workout and great thoughts on the PUMP, hope you week is going well!

[xxsomeone305xx]

Last week I only worked out twice because of time restraints and this week strength is still up, It's a quite of bit of volume in his training method from what I've seen but I think I'll be able to get through it. Mentally and physically I was still energized after the workout

Nutrition:

2400 calories
protein:250
carb:200
fats:50

I'm upping the carbs and dropping the calories a bit to see how my body reacts to carbs at my body fat, inb4 I look like Michelin man.
