If you're looking to maximise your workout session, you need have that mind-body connection focus, energised and motivated when you step into the gym. If you're feeling the total opposite on that day, each rep feels like your last rep and if you're just lifting just for the sake of lifting, then you're only wasting your time there. Pre-workout supplements are designed to give you that extra focus, energy level and muscular "pump" when you hit the gym.
"MUSCLEPHARM ASSAULT" main ingredients consists of Creatine and Arginine. Creatine helps to reduce muscle fatigue by transporting extra energy into our muscle fibres for that one last rep. Arginine (a precursor of Nitric Oxide) helps to widen / visodilate the blood vessels to allow blood and oxygen around your body to support muscle growth and fat loss.
The label recommends 1/2 scoop on a moderate training day and 1 scoop prior to a "hardcore" training session. Based on personal experience / opinion, I would only suggest to consume pre-workouts on training days when you feel abit lethargic before stepping into the gym or when you're going heavy lifts. I wouldn't want to be too reliant on the pre-workout up till a point where your body gets accustomed to it and the benefits would gradually wear off. As for myself, I would only use it on Leg days.
Taste-wise, I had the Watermelon flavour and honestly, I would want to quickly gulp that drink down my throat as soon as possible cos it tasted quite bad. It tasted like cough mixture turn bad. URGH!
It is best consumed on an empty stomach that helps with rapid absorption. On an near empty stomach (due to a tuna sandwich earlier), it took about 15 - 20 minutes where you can feel the energy flowing through your blood cells. One of the after effects of "MUSCLEPHARM ASSAULT" is you feel as if thousands of ants is crawling all over your body. So you might want to time your consumption spot on before heading towards the gym. The effects usually wears off within 20 - 30 minutes into the training session.
In a nutshell, I would recommend to get a tub "MUSCLEPHARM ASSAULT". I would refrain from frequent consumption to avoid being too "dependent" on it. Only use it on days where you're going to lift heavy or when you're working on weaker body parts. Price wise, I find it reasonably cheaper than other pre-workout products out there.
ADVANTAGES
- It works!
- Rapid absorption into the body (if consume on a near empty stomach)
- Energy can sustain about 20 - 30 minutes into your workout (which is reasonable for me)
DISADVANTAGES
- Taste! (I had the watermelon flavour by the way)
- That itchy and ants crawling all over your body feeling!
