I just got a bottle of Pimp Juice Extreme (that is what I like to call it), Cherry Berry Explosion. I am currently very limited in what I can do in the gym (about to go in for neck surgery - will create a post about it after I get a second opinion), so I have to work out carefully. Still, cardio is something that can be aided by a PWO, so I tried it.
I have used the original version of Pump Juice Extreme, both in the Cherry Berry and Watermelon flavors. I felt the original Cherry Berry was VERY strong tasting - WAY too strong tasting. This new version has it toned down a lot, making it a lot nicer in taste. Great change there. I still prefer watermelon, and will get that one next.
So I used a scoop and waited a half hour before going to the gym. I felt the PWO kick in as I arrived - nothing jolting or shocking, but I could feel my mental alertness go up a noticeable amount. I did my 30 minutes of cardio without wishing I was dead, and I did it at an average heart rate of 140 bpm. I was quite pleased, especially since I did not feel like crawling into a corner and sleeping immediately when I was done. I still felt alert and alive. Cannot talk about pumps or such, but for endurance it rocked. There was no crash from it when it wore off, I just noticed the slow loss of mental focus it had added.
My wife will try it this week, prior to her kick boxing class. She loved the original too, so I will report back on her feelings about the new one.
