SAN Megatron

[justin00008]

I received my SAN Megatron tub from bodybuilding.com a few days ago. I finally got into the gym yesterday, and was actually disappointed in the performance of Megatron. I added one scoop of Megatron to 16oz of water, and drank it on my way to the gym (maybe 20 minutes). As I got through my warm up, I began to feel the effects of the Beta Alanine. This is where it kind of faded off. I couldn't get in the zone at all. So I got through my squat workout, although I was supposed to be going for a double at 315 but could only grind out 1x2 @ 305 which I hit a triple with last week. Moved onto bench and it was the same deal, managed a double at 235 but was supposed to be going for a double at 245.

I'm not in any way saying Megatron is 100% responsible for my performance during this workout, as there are many variables that can dictate how a workout goes. However, I was hoping to experience the focus, pumps and performance that everyone is talking about. With that said, I saw in a thread a user stated that this particular pre workout needs to be used regularly if a user wants to get the most from it. I generally use my pre 4 times per week pre workout and use 5 grams creatine monohydrate everyday. How frequently should I be using Megatron? If anyone can provide any insight I would appreciate it.

you use it one time and judge the results from there?

This ^^^

I train 4 times a week and use it 4 times a week. I find this works well @ 1 scoop, I do add creatine to it, caffeine as well. Pumps are very nice and my focus is fine, I am able to lock in. Give it time and actually use for a bit before making a judgement call after just one use.

Megatron gets me in the zone to the point where I wonder if there is some form of stimulant in it after all, even after working all day before going to the gym. In fact, the other day I came home from the gym and found myself in a heightened state of focus for the rest of the night. Even had a pretty vivid nightmare lol, which definitely isnt common for me

Sounds like you're using some other recreational drugs buddy.

OP what do you expect from a stim free product? Plus if you're expecting pumps doing doubles with squats & bench you're not going to get much of a pump at all.

I probably jumped the gun on my original post, but this isn't a product review. I thought including some background info of my initial experience would be helpful for someone to provide insight as to why I experienced zero benefits. I read through the reviews of others on the forum and according to these posts, they were experiencing effects first workout. I'm in no way passing a final judgement on the product, because, as stated, I've only used it one day. I'm not asking for a refund, or trashing the product. I'm simply inquiring about suggested use.

To answer your question, yes, I do make an initial judgement based upon first time experience. However, I am aware this initial opinion is gathered rather hastily, and I will continue to form a more experienced opinion over time.

Fair enough. It seems as though people are getting rather jumpy, so let me clarify again, I'm inquiring about suggested frequency. I'm not reviewing the product. With that said I was concerned with the lack of focus, not so much the pump.

Megatron has alpha gcp and vinpocetine in it for focus. People respond differently to these things, some respond better than others. The pumps and endurance will have more of an effect when you need it, namely during a workout with higher volume and rep levels.

Keep using it. I would lower water amount, as well.

Pretty cool! I'm glad you're experiencing good effects (aside from the nightmare, haha).

[Danes]

Megatron looks good <3

OP,
Tried 1 1/2 scoops? Or even 2?
Try to add 1/2 scoop extra and see how it goes!

Megatron needs to be taken continuously in order to take advantage of it's benefits.

[MillerTime07]

Based on your expectations, it sounds like you are looking more for a stim-based pre-workout.

Yeah, this stuff has definitely been good to me so far. I should clarify, though, in that case, I'm only pointing at the effects for giving me vivid dreaming that night, not that it made me have a nightmare haha. Also seems like a one-and-off instance thus far, but focus continues to be solid.

Thanks for your response, Poison. I will reduce the amount of water I use when I mix it.

You could be right, MillerTime, as I'm using Megatron to give my body a break from stimulants for a month or so.

While I dont drink this SAN product (current PWO is Catalyst for me) any PWO I take I mix one scoop in 2-4 oz of water and take it like a shot. I feel most PWO work better taken in this fashion.

Well, that's part of the issue, of course, but even with caffeineated preworkouts, you'll have some people who 'feel nothing'. Anyway, pay attention to strength, endurance, recovery, and pumps, you'll be surprised how good it is.

I hadn't looked closely, but now I notice the flavor is watermelonade? Any reviews on flavor? Fierce Domination and this looks like a solid stack.

The plight of the stim free product in this current stim laden marketplace, people don't "feel" it immediately and instead buy cheap caffeine based products.
