SCI-MX Nutrition X-Plode Pre-Workout Supplement Drink, Caffeine Based, 400 g, Blackcurrant, 20 Servings

First time buying and trying a pre workout. Bought it because I find it hard to stay awake at work, every morning I have to take sneaky naps in the car or in the store room. Tried a million coffees and proplus but nothing kept my eyes from wanting to shut. So I thought I'd give it a go not having high hopes but to my absolute amazement this stuff really perked me up and keeps me awake. Can't recommend it enough, zero side effects. I only use one heaped scoop too 👌🏽

As I am new to pre-workout supplements, I started with half the suggested dose and then upped it by 25% each time after. I didn't really feel much of a change until I took the full dose, after which I got a good buzz with an increased motivation for training, with a slight increase in performance. The beta-alanine did cause some very mild tingling/ itching in the face but I doubt I would have thought anything of it if I hadn't known about it beforehand. Good flavour (although I suggest mixing it with a little more water than suggested), easy to mix and no intestinal/ stomach upsets. Only downside is that the high caffeine content means if I take it after about 4:00 it'll stop me sleeping properly.

I normally use C4 Cellucor or The Curse but both were giving me nausea and jitters as well as itchy skin so decided to try this for £13! Well I will never look back, taste is good , I mix with 400ml of water . No jitters, no itchy skin , this motivates me to work out , it helps my stamina and gives me that extra strength for weight lifting. Would recommend , shame the orange flavour is £10 more as would love to try that as well.

Get a good boost from this, even after a 12.5 hour nightshift! Don't get any stomach cramps, no come downs either but I do have a high caffeine tolerance. There isn't even the desperate pre workout dump, where you sometimes just don't make it on time!

I'm giving it 3 star at the moment. Tried it for the first time today. So will write another review in a few weeks. First time ever trying a pre work out. With in ten minutes I felt my face lips and hands tingly and itchy. 20 minutes in felt like I was high bit that feeling last about 10 to 15 minutes then wore off. I felt it didn't make a difference to my work out. But I have two possible to go through so will use it daily and re write my reviewUpdate. .... orange flavour is nice. Blackcurrant flavour leaves an aftertaste , not nice at all. After using for at least 3 weeks I feel it's made no difference even with an extra scoop. So I won't be buying this brand again.

Blackcurrant tastes great, product works great. Big tub for the money. One of the better preworkouts I have tried

I'm something of a caffeine addict, routinely skirting 700-1000mg a day from a mix of pills and pre-workout.Recently changed to this from Optimum Nutrition's 'PRE' as my actual pre gym drink, this has more caffeine per serving but isn't as nice to drink. The orange flavour I can only describe as "that typical orange-ish flavour that gym drinks have". On the plus side, this is about £6 cheaper for the same number of servings.I don't do cardio, I'd probably die if I tried with all the caffeine, but this made me itch and provides the typical intensity on heavy lifts. That and I couldn't sleep til 2 hours past my normal time lets me know this stuff works.

When I read it had 3 grams per serving of L arginine per serving I was very happy with it.. I suffer with Exercise induce asthma when I take this stuff its dramatically improved and I feel like I'm 28 again smashing it up! Only down point is the caffeine intake as I'd rather not have the caffeine everything else is sweet though deffo worth buying good quality product
