Focus is definitely improved.
Energy also is improved, but it does seem to use it up quicker too? Might be my imagination.
Hydration seems to be real important too. Noticed when I became de-hydrated I would get foot cramps, especially in the arch? It did not matter if I was doing land based exercises or swimming, the effect was the same. I get the same without taking it on occasion, but while taking it they seem a little more frequent. If I was sufficiently hydrated then it was a non issue altogether. Not really an issue.
I too feel an increase in cell volume, but not to the effect you had where the pumps were messing with your workouts.
Seems to also increase adrenaline?
This is only the second week, but my observations thus far. Overall I am quite pleased with the result. For the cost and what it does I feel that this is a worthy addition to pre-workout stacks.
Not sure how the effects will hold up over the long haul or whether they will diminish or if any off days are needed and if so how many.
Will keep you posted as time wears on.
Strange that you are suffering cramps. A lot of people take taurine to alleviate cramping
I always have off days but that will depend on how many workouts you are doing per week. Currently on 4 so that would leave me 3 days completely off any form of pre workout boosters.
Have heard of people going as high as 5 grams per serving but I had a conversation with a guy once who works in the medical industry who was dead against supplemental taurine because of some links to Alzheimer`s disease but I`ve never been able to find any studies to back up what he said.
