Back after some time. So much freaking work and then weekend was mostly spent over some of the stuffs that were haunting me for quite some time. Well, finally got over with those.
Anyway, onto the main stuff. Neurocore from Muscletech.
This pre workout supplement is the very first one that I ever used. And I've used 4 so far. 5 to be precise. The last one being only Citrulline Malate and no mix or anything.
So, here's the stuffs:
I bought it from Snapdeal. But it's available pretty much everywhere.
The thing that I noticed about this product is that there is very little review about it. So thought let's start my review blogs with this one.
Ok, so it's Blue Raspberry, tastes pretty cool and mixes super fast. Only some very little stuffs will be there at the bottom, which you can stir up and drink. No issues there.
Ingredients, here you go. Very simple formula:
If you notice, most of the ingredients at 1 scoop dosage are basically under-dozed. Meaning you won't get that much of an effect.
So what do you get here: You get the regular caffeine for energy and citrulline for pump and circulation. Yohimbe would probably lower the blood pressure and beta-alanine is the regular endurance substance. Creating HCl is the ATP enhancer which works faster than the Monohydrate version. Rhodiola is also in there which reduces fatigue... Ya it does.
Overall pretty neat. Some other stuffs are there too. But I don't know much about those.
Anyway. Now, coming to the serving. This little, super concentrated tub says it has 45 serving of this little scoop:
It's the smallest scoop of any pre-workout that I've used so far. 4.2 grams.
Most important part... How long it takes to kick in and how effective it is.
I'll tell you my experience and it might vary because pre-workouts effect different people differently.
I started with 1 scoop. And within the first 10 minutes, I felt that tingling and the buzzing started in 15 minutes.
Since then, till now, I've never felt not much of beta-alanine tingling. Not sure why.
As I said, I've never used any pre-workout before this one, so to me, the experience was a bit overwhelming. I was like elevated. Full of energy and focus.
I think I liked the focus part very much because I was not distracted by what all I need to do when I go back to my desk, how many bugs are left, is QA waiting on me. blah blah blah.
I think I was doing a bit too much of weights, so initially got a minor headache. More blood flow I think. From the next day, I knew that I had to move up slowly.
I generally do about 1 to 1.5 hours of workout and the funny feeling was that I was not feeling tired at all at the top of the hour. I was rather feeling bad that I had to drop the weights and go back.
So, back to desk. Still having awesome energy. A bit too much I guess.
No crash even after 8-10 hours. Yes, the first night I was having a wee bit difficulty getting a proper sleep. I think this is usual.
Here's the important part. The one scoop effect died down over 4 days. And I had to move on to 1.5 scoops. I think the more important part is the mental effect. Because I was used to the effect, I had to take more to get that extra edge. I topped it till 2.5 scoops.
What I mean by this is that it won't last 45 workouts for you if you take it regularly. This is important if you are looking at the cheaper price tag of this product.
I learnt a way to keep the effect in tap and that is to alternate the dosage anyhow. What I do currently is that I take one serving followed by two half servings and then back to 1 serving. This works for me. I generally keep the 1 serving for Chest and Legs. And half serving for shoulder and back. You can do your math. :)
Overall, I like this product. And I'm gonna use it later again if it doesn't go out of market, which is pretty obvious given the rate at which new products are getting launched everyday.
Hope you liked my review. Keep posting comments and queries below.
