Solid workout here, strength felt good and deads have been steadily increasing from session to session. This workout is very similar to last weeks in terms of rep schemes and weights, but did swap out the lying leg curls for some drop sets on seated curls. I decided to superset with body weight squats as well with my cable stiff legs. Walking lunges always finish them off for that extra burn. Overall solid workout.REDCON1 BIG NOISE!

OK so this was probably the best workout I've had to date on this stuff. Drank a little bit more water earlier in the day and did have more trips to the fountain during the workout which could have aided in the pump, but man it was just out of this world today! I opt'd for a close V grip for my straight arm pulldown's, focusing on the contraction in my lats for the BB row superset and that just had them lit up. Could barely keep my arms down for half this workout! Granted, I did toss around some heavier weights for exercises such as BB rows and DB rows, but man unreal. Overall solid workout and had this product working to its fullest! No GI issues, solid workout, would love if this stuff hit home like this on a daily basis. Going to be trying to mimic my food/water intake as close to possible following this, especially with water.REDCON1 BIG NOISE! Log https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=175308671

Solid leg day. Haven't had a leg day fall at the YMCA in a few weeks so was nice to hit up a few different machines, mainly the low hacks. Legs were full as heck today and pumped beyond belief. My GI issues with this product are hit or miss, usually always some slight discomfort, but some days more than others. Today thankfully wasn't one of those. I can deal with some of the problems on upper body, but man having GI issues when your trying to barrel through a leg day is no fun! Overall solid workout.REDCON1 BIG NOISE!

Great workout here (sorry for a few of the late updates training was off schedule slightly last week due to schedule conflicts). Chest and shoulders were pumped to the max and just felt full and hard the entire workout and for hours afterwards as well. I had that tunnel vision going on with the product today as well, sometimes it can be a little intense when people are around because I'm so focused on the training session haha. Overall solid workout, pump and stamina were up there with the drop sets per usual.REDCON1 BIG NOISE! Log https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=175308671

Awesome arm pump from yesterday's workout! Arms are feeling it today, espcially the tris! I opted for some basic heavy movements with the DB and wanted to overload with the standing hammer curls. Sometimes its nice to switch it up and sacrifice form slightly to get in some extra weight for reps. I switched and used a kettle bell instead of a DB for the spider curls and really loved the pump I got focusing on a nice slow eccentric movement. Kettle bells are great replacements for DB in various exercises and help to add tension at different points in the movement. I finished off tris with some solid standing cable squeezes. I've been loving using just the cable and no grip to really get a squeeze and solid contraction in my tris, it has been lighting them up! Overall another solid one for the books. Weights are slightly different as well as this workout was done at the Y and their cable machines weights are much different than others.REDCON1 BIG NOISE!

Awesome workout. Felt amazing the entire time and was able to get in another PR of over 400 for deads. Haven't pulled that much in a while so felt pretty freaking good to get that in! Hamstrings were torched after the singles and drop set. Finished em off with the cable and BW squat superset and didn't have much left in the tank for the usual walking lunges. Overall, another solid workout with few GI issues to report.REDCON1 BIG NOISE! Log https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=175308671

Another back smasher to finish off the week! As you may notice I tend to use a good majority of the same basic compound and isolating movements. I did some new drops with some different grips today for pulldowns and did a reverse pyramid for the DB rows. Overall, felt pretty strong these last couple workouts (prob due to a few off days) and came to bring it. Pumps were insane with this per usual and not much else to report. Another solid one for sure!REDCON1 BIG NOISE! Log https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=175308671

Well my legs are feeling it today after this one! Had a crazy pump going on and felt pretty strong as well, so pushing some nice weight in movements like leg press and hacks. The intensity is always kept high with the drop sets, and believe me they crushhh. Overall solid workout, only a few left in my tub!REDCON1 BIG NOISE!

It was my pleasure! Great product to review so big up's to you guys as well!
Only other product I've taken is creatine mono, but this has been a staple for years. Much of the feedback coming from how this compared in regards to a regular stimulant pre.REDCON1 BIG NOISE! Log https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=175308671

Final Review
Pump: 9/10
So let's start off with what this product is designed for...the PUMP. I must say that aside from some of the slight GI issues I had using this product, this thing hit home hard! Each workout I was left with full pumped muscle bellys and the feeling lasted well after the workout ended. For a stimulant free pump product you cannot go wrong with this stuff. It had similar effects with me as Glyergrow from Controlled Labs which I have used in the past and I was a fan of that as well. Overall great pump product with a solid ingredient profile. I do want to touch as well on the GI issues as I have a sensitive stomach so this should be considered for those in the same boat as I am. Reading through other reviews and logs I did not see much mention of this which is another good sign for the product as well.
Focus: 9/10
This was another take away from the product. Although it is a stimulant free pump product, it provides ingredients to help with mental focus and a euphoric mood enhancement. I did notice that focus and many times I would be getting tunnel vision from this product. So it delivers on its promise for this, just personally sometimes it felt a bit much (I know I know call me crazy right!) I did enjoy the focus without the addition of caffeine as I was on a much needed stim break, so for anyone looking to take advantage of a product in that category look for BIG NOISE to deliver!
Overall: 9/10
Overall I have to give the product a solid grade. I would give it a 10/10 if I didn't have some slight issues, but again these are personal and this is meant to be a helpful unbiased review for the product. As you can see throughout the log I did make steady progress with workouts, varying from week to week and the effects of the product never wavered. I have to tip my hat to REDCON1 for allowing me an opportunity to test this product and provide them and their customers with some (hopefully) helpful feedback. If anyone is looking for a stimulant free pump product or mood/focus enhancement you should look no further and give this a try! Thank you to all who were part of this log.REDCON1 BIG NOISE!
