Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Pre-Workout

As far as pre-workouts go, I've tried quite a few, from Grenade 50 Calibre to GAT Nitraflex. All these different products seem to come back with different effects.

Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard products are exactly as labelled, Gold Standard. They give good results from use and are always reviewed as effective.

I used this Pre-Workout about 30 minutes before I began exercising. I felt a massive rise in energy levels, increased weight on multiple exercises and was able to perform my usual HIIT, but for a much longer period of time.

The focus I felt when using it was insane, rest periods decreased, it makes you want to go and go until you physically can't anymore!

As well as providing you with the focus and energy, you get a pretty decent pump when you're finished.

It's overall effectiveness in providing you with energy is a 10/10.

The taste of the product is something which you would have to adapt to, as I found it really sweet and quite sour. To get around this I mixed it with slightly more liquid in order to dilute the flavour.

So for taste I'd give it a 7/10, I had the Fruit Punch flavour, and it tended to be quite bitty the first few mouthfuls.

Contents wise, the product has creatine, beta-alanine and Caffeine to give you that boost.

Overall I would rate this product as an 9/10. I've heard that the watermelon flavour is the best so maybe if I'd have used that one, it could have been a 10!

Thank you for reading!
