Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Pre Workout Powder, Energy Drink with Creatine Monohydrate, Beta Alanine, Caffeine and Vitamin B Complex, Nutrition Supplement, Watermelon Flavour, 30 Servings, 330 g

Right, where to start... I have been training for a little over two years now, and have tried just about every popular pre-workout there is, from the original DS Sports Craze (which got banned) to Marc Lobliner's MTS Clash (which is still my favourite when Stacked with Hemavol, but availability in the UK can be tricky). Got ON PW just this week, and before taking my 3 month cycle off pre-workouts which I am due, I thought I would give it a quick try, and I have to say I am extremely impressed. The energy and focus received from this during my morning workouts is superb. Positives: - Mixes well - Tastes Delicious - Real energy and focus - Price, I am used to getting MTS Clash shipped over from Tiger Fitness in the US, so this is relatively cheap compared to that. Negatives: - It does cause me to slightly crash about 3 to 4 hours after consumption - This isn't a pump product, or at least it certainly doesn't have the same effect on me as Hemavol - As with all pre workouts, dont consume this after 3pm otherwise you will find getting to sleep a bit of an issue As always, ON may be slightly more pricey than other brands on the market, but you get what you pay for, and that is always a quality product. Please remember though, everyone reacts differently to pre workout's, some peoples bodies are good with stimulant's and some peoples aren't, so honestly, if you're looking for a pre workout its all about finding something that reacts the way you want it to with your body. But this is most certainly worth giving a try...

Having bought the watermelon flavour I can say this tastes brilliant, just as you might expect, but it is very sweet. Although I don’t feel a sudden rush of energy after drinking this, I have still felt more energised than not drinking this before a workout. It’s fantastic for morning workouts, it has enabled me lift heavier and make more gains. Moreover, this has given me more energy for the rest of the day to continue working without feeling fatigued. However, this has made me feel quite bloated drinking this shortly after breakfast. I assume it’s because of the creatine content so I would advise giving it some time after eating before taking this. I think it has great value, for its price point and super caffeine content, this has finally solved my issue of feeling sleepy after working out in the morning.

Definitely gives a boost if you're tired. A few sips will make you feel as fresh as a newborn. Tastes like watermelon flavoured gum, the kind you find at Asian supermarkets. Recommend you buy the fruit punch flavour or lemonade if new to artificial flavours.

Tastes great without leaving you with the jitters. Easy to use, just mix a scoop with some water. Sure the dose isn't as high as some other brands, but it has enough of the good stuff such that it keeps you focus, motivated, and at top performance during your workout. Besides, you don't want to develop a tolerance to the high dosage stuff. I take it once or twice a week, usually after work, so that I don't end up dependent on this stuff. Doesn't smell or taste too bad either. Good value for money compared to a cup of coffee.

Optimum nutrition is always a good brand to go with when buying supplements, as they are a well renowned brand known for their credibility. Pre workouts are always going to have mixed reviews as everyone reacts to them differently. Some people are simply either more sensitive or more tolerant to the ingredients that give you energy and a pump during your workout. So it's up to you to check out the ingredients, see what ingredients you are looking for in a pre workout, and just give it a try. Eventually you'll find a pre workout that works for you as an individual. In terms of this working for myself, I did find myself getting a good amount of energy and focus in the gym with a good pump. I tried the watermelon as I heard good things about the taste, however it is hit and miss as I liked it but my friend didn't. So, again, try a flavour and see if you like it yourself. All in all this is a good pre workout which works for me so I've given it 5 stars, but, someone else's review might not mean you like it. It's all down to individual preference.

Lovely flavour and works well. Given 3 stars as I found that it doesn't mix great. While in the gym it seems to fall to the bottom of my cup, so I have to keep swishing it around.

Was in the market for that well missed beta alanine after not having a pre workout for many many years. I remember taking Jack3d back in the day (pre banned Jack3d) and it was amazing. I've chased the feeling of that drink ever since and nothings come close - until now. I drink the whole 350ml in 2 or 3 big gulps, and within 5 minutes I can start to feel the tingling. It starts in my head and spreads to my ears. If I double the dose I feel it in my fingers and running through my legs and out through my toes. The only way to rid this excitement is to chase 'the pump' that only an excellent workout can provide. This allows me to get those extra reps which we know are the ones that count. I put the powder into the cup and then add water and stir with a spoon. It mixes okay this way. Not perfect but honestly I'm here for the effects not the taste of texture. Taste is okay but a bit overwhelming, especially if you try to take this as a shot! Ultimately, this does what it says. Great pre workout I can definitely recommend.

I drink this every morning around 20-30 minutes before my workout. Fruit punch ingredients taste great and is quick to make and easy to mix, never fully dissolves though so swirl the water before the last gulp. Definitely notice my performance levels are higher after drinking this. I used the subscription feature so have a tub delivered once a month, great increase in value and worth the price.

I definately saw a difference in my workouts. I am not a very big fun of the flavor, it starts nice but by the end it is more like cotton candy

Super booster ! Jaime le goût même s’il fait très artificiel ! Je sent les effets , placebo ou pas, ça marche

Decidí probar el pre-entrenamiento C4 después de escuchar buenas críticas, y debo decir que no me ha decepcionado en absoluto. Como alguien que entrena bastante, buscaba algo que me diera más energía y enfoque, y este producto ha hecho justo eso. Lo que más me gusta: Energía explosiva. Desde la primera vez que lo tomé, noté una diferencia significativa en mi energía durante el entrenamiento. Me siento más activo, con ganas de darlo todo, y puedo aumentar la intensidad de mis rutinas sin sentirme agotado tan rápido. Mejora del enfoque. Lo que realmente me sorprendió fue el nivel de concentración que me da. No me siento distraído ni cansado a mitad del entrenamiento, lo cual me ayuda a aprovechar al máximo cada serie. Sabor agradable. Tiene un sabor bastante bueno (al menos el de uva que elegí), lo cual no siempre pasa con este tipo de suplementos. Es fácil de beber y no tiene ese sabor amargo que algunos pre-entrenos suelen tener. Lo que no me encanta tanto: Efecto de "picazón". Al principio, noté que me picaban un poco las manos y la cara. No es algo peligroso ni incómodo, pero si no te gusta esa sensación, puede ser un pequeño inconveniente. Con el tiempo me acostumbré, pero es algo a tener en cuenta. Puede causar algo de nerviosismo. Si eres sensible a la cafeína, puede que te sientas algo acelerado o nervioso si tomas la dosis completa. Yo encontré el punto perfecto de dosificación después de probarlo un par de veces. En resumen: El pre-entrenamiento C4 es perfecto para darle un empujón a tu rendimiento en el gimnasio. Me da una energía impresionante y me ayuda a mantener el enfoque durante todo el entrenamiento. Para lo que ofrece, está muy bien, y definitivamente, la competencia no puede igualar la efectividad de este producto. Como siempre, la entrega de Amazon fue rápida y sin complicaciones, llegó al día siguiente, lo cual siempre es un alivio.

Ottimo integratore che preso nelle giuste dosi per il proprio peso fa quello che deve. A differenza di altri che ho provato il classico pizzicore dei pre workout è ridotto in quanto all'interno ha meno del principio che lo provoca, ma questo non riduce le sue prestazioni.

I feel nothing when using this. I think caffein used metabolism cannot enjoy the kick in effect. Also, on long term, I am not really feeling upsight by using this, even no placebo...
