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

I’ve been using Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Pre Workout Powder for a few months now, and it has quickly become an essential part of my routine. This pre-workout does exactly what I need it to do—gives me clean, lasting energy and focus without the jitters or crash.First of all, the flavor options are amazing. I went with the “Green Apple” flavor, and it’s surprisingly smooth and refreshing—not overly sweet like some other pre-workouts I’ve tried. It mixes easily with water, no clumps or chalky texture, which is a big plus.What really sets this pre-workout apart is the quality of the boost it provides. Within about 15 minutes, I start feeling the energy kick in, and it’s steady and consistent. I feel more focused and motivated, but it’s a smooth lift, not an overwhelming rush. I love that it’s not too heavy on caffeine either, so I don’t feel wired for hours after my workout is done.This pre-workout has also noticeably helped with my endurance and performance. I can push through more intense sessions and feel like I’m getting stronger each week. I also appreciate that it includes ingredients like beta-alanine and citrulline malate, which help me with endurance and recovery.

Personally I was never a fan of pre workout because I never thought I needed it. Take what I say which a pinch of salt, this is my anecdotal experience.After taking a 2 year long break from working out due to injury, I decided to take some of this pre workout. I previously peaked at 200kg deadlift without the aid of pre workout supplements and boy did they work.I figured that it would help me lift a bit more and enable myself to push harder in the gym without burning myself out too quickly.Little did I know, that half way throughout my workout I would be pulling 10 plates on the row machine when I was only used to 6 and deadlifting 160kg within the 4th week of my gym routine. I honestly felt like I was never fatiguing.If you’re in need of a kick and require the energy to get through your workout, this will help you achieve that goal. It contains various amino acids which contribute to the maintenance and growth of muscle and prevents the body muscle break down.The creatine in this will help provide your muscles with ATP, the energy required to lift more in the gym and you will start to fatigue less quickly.The caffeine is 175mg and has an effect on the central nervous system, providing you with the energy you need to lift.The supplement is “gold standard” so you know you’re getting the ingredients listed on the tub.I advise that you do not use pre workout too often for every workout as its easy to build a tolerance to caffeine, meaning you won’t get the same effect every time you workout.The pre workout also tastes pretty good, quite sweet and chemically but it doesn’t taste too bad, you get used to it.I highly recommend this.

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.

Seems ok to me, been using it for about a month at the gym! Good value for money, nice taste,good size

It is a very good quality pre-workout in terms of taste and smell, the energy it gives you is perfect after 9 hours of work if you take it and go to the gym it is the perfect energy boost

Product tastes good, the effects are not for me. Felt like my skeleton was bouncing internally in between sets. I think you need to have a good tolerance for this type of product. I will stick to natural ginger shots and sports drinks as this gives me too much of the jitters!

So I've tried a few flavours of gold standards pre workout and this is certainly in my top, parallel to having the blueberry flavour. Tastes like apple, not too sweet and doesn't leave an aftertaste. As for the energy, its certainly made a difference with my performance in the gym. I find that I can run for longer without feeling fatigued and helps to burn more calories so I can achieve my results faster. Exactly as intended.Certainly value for money if you grab this amongst others on sale, a no brainer for me.

I’ve always been a bit skeptical about preworkout powders and never bothered using them. I thought I’d buy some and give it a go as now and again I feel very fatigued during my workouts.I can’t actually believe what a difference it made. I took it 20 mins before I headed to the gym. I felt more focused and did more sets than usual. I did an hour but left due to it being extremely busy. I could have actually gone on for another hour. I was still full of energy walking home and even considered going for a run.I had no side effects at all other than an extra burst of energy and focus. No itching, tingling or flushing. It tastes nice and fruity and mixes easily with water.If you’re on the fence like I was just go ahead and purchase this ON preworkout. You’ll be amazed at the results!
