Pretty stoked to give this product a run guys. Reading the label/box made me be like, dang I need to take this right now and go hit the gym
Never heard of "arginase inhibitors" before, but the science behind it seems legit.
I'm all about the pump (usually rely on citrulline), so I'll be able to really critique/review this supplement.

Im currently traveling (airport right now) but I did arms this morning (4am)
Pumps were stupid! Could barely move my arms. High rep, fast paced arm day.
I had NO pill burps from the 4 pill serving. That’s awesome- I hate pill burps. And it delivered. Skin tearing pumps. Can’t wait to keep using it. Excited to see what leg day is like with this ...The 2 most important things to me when training are 1. The Muscle Mind Connection. and 2. Intensity

KILLER back workout today. Tons of volume. I love barbell rows. They're a staple to me for a wide thick back.
No pill burps ! Crazy lat pump when I was doing those first couple exercises. And my mid back was super pumped doing barbell rows. Love this stuff so far. Love the labeling/packaging as well. Looks pretty hardcore!The 2 most important things to me when training are 1. The Muscle Mind Connection. and 2. Intensity

Awesome workout. Something I've definitely noticed since using this supplement is that I get insane pumps within 2 sets of my first exercise. Almost limiting my movement because the muscle is so engorged with blood. But I LOVE IT.
Tomorrow is legs. Can't wait to see what kind of pump I can getThe 2 most important things to me when training are 1. The Muscle Mind Connection. and 2. Intensity

By set #2 on the machine flys, my chest was screaming. I was seriously asking myself "how am I going to do bench with this much pain via pump??" so I decide to do a lighter, high rep day, and it was crazy! Chest felt huge!
The pumps from this stuff is real guys. Gonna have my little brother (we train together and He's pretty strong) try it out and let me know what He thinks as well!The 2 most important things to me when training are 1. The Muscle Mind Connection. and 2. Intensity

Awesome leg workout. Stumbling out of the gym. I'm pretty good with my form on squats, and I like to do a ton of sets. I kept alternating between close stance and wide stance.
My quads were pumped within 3 sets on leg extensions. Once again I was like, dang, how am I gonna do squats?? Love it. My goal is to get the muscle engorged with blood, and that's what's been happening lately.The 2 most important things to me when training are 1. The Muscle Mind Connection. and 2. Intensity

Man I felt pumped after this back day. Back is one of my strengths, and I'm also a form freak. Lots of heavy compounds are my bread and butter. Usually row 100+ with the dumbbells but after all those other movements I was feelin gassedThe 2 most important things to me when training are 1. The Muscle Mind Connection. and 2. Intensity

Pump was killer. Legit couldn't flex my biceps and triceps fully because they were so pumped. I've had elbow issues lately hence the lighter weight and higher reps for triceps. I used to love skull crushers and close grip bench but it depends on the day if I can do them or not. Got one more dose left and then my final review will be coming!The 2 most important things to me when training are 1. The Muscle Mind Connection. and 2. Intensity

AWESOME Back day today. Pumped to the max. I love barbell rows. My form on all back exercises is very strict. I hate seeing swaying, jerking, momentum use, etc. I pride myself in my strict back form. So those 275lb rows were rough.
Loved this supp guys. Gonna review it here in a bit. Thanks for letting me try it out.The 2 most important things to me when training are 1. The Muscle Mind Connection. and 2. Intensity

Final Review
Effectiveness-10/10 I was skeptical of this supplement to be honest, but the pumps I got were awesome. Some of the best I've ever had. The product description is very interesting-arginase inhibitors
Ease of use-10/10 4 pill serving, super easy to get down. Never had any pill burps (This is huge to me because I HATE pill burps)
Cost-8/10 $1.50 per serving. Not the cheapest, not the most expensive.
Overall-9/10 Great product that WORKS. Little bit expensive, but other than that, can't complain. No pill burps!The 2 most important things to me when training are 1. The Muscle Mind Connection. and 2. Intensity

Excellent review! Thank you so much man and I'm really glad you enjoyed the product.
I have to admit, your pictures blew me away (being dead serious). I knew you were a big guy, but for being 26 you have a VERY bright future ahead of you. Great job man and hoping you can log a few other great Gaspari products for us in the future.

Mike,
I have taken the plunge to the dark side before haha but it has been years since then. I believe some places require 5 years clean and I’m close.The 2 most important things to me when training are 1. The Muscle Mind Connection. and 2. Intensity
