Titan Army, I cannot tell you how long I've been searching for a grape flavoured pre-workout; but alas! I have found it! So, how does it stack up? Let's get to it shall we? Taste: 5/5 I'm giving Purple K a big ole perfect score on this one, my friends. First let me say, that I'm a huge fan of grape flavoured things so consider me a bit biased here. If you enjoy the flavour grape in general, even more so if you enjoy grape Kool-Aid you will love the flavour of this product because that's exactly what this tastes like! Energy: --- If you're looking for a pick me up, or an energy boost similar to Cellucor C4, this isn't the product for you, or is it? Yes, this product contains no caffeine (A little fact I learned after purchase). A pre-workout however, is so much more than just a caffeine boost and if you're a pro at taking pre-workouts, you know this. If you rely on a pre-workout for its caffeine boost, I do have a suggestion for you; low calorie energy drinks(Monster, Rockstar, Red Bull) of course I'm not suggesting that these are healthy options, however they will do the trick. Focus/Endurance: 4/5 I was truly impressed by the focus level I gained after taking Purple K. This is something that i've struggled with after taking other pre-workouts, I always feel as if I'm not truly locked in. After 20 minutes of taking 2 scoops of Purple K, I was locked in about as much as I think I possibly can be. I found myself focused on the rep count, the correct form being used, counting down the rest time between sets, and when that next set came I was ready to give it my everything. As far as endurance goes, I rate it the same as focus. I found myself throwing in more burnout sets than usual on my chest workout; I was able to power through when the burn told me to quit. Going into taking this product, I was unsure that I would get a good result without the caffeine(i'm a caffeine junky, and rely on it heavily for workouts), however after taking it I was pleasantly surprised. Pump: 3.5/5 I wasn't too impressed with the "pump" that I got from this product. Yes, my muscle endurance was increased and I went crazy on the burnout sets, however I didn't really notice any increased muscle pump in my chest which was a little unfortunate. Now, I'm not out to impress anyone with my chest today, so I'm not too bummed, but if I were going to the beach and wanted a nice pump before shedding the shirt, I'd be a little let down. Beta-Alanine Itch: 4/5 You may have just read that and thought to yourself "Is this guy serious?" and the answer is.. not usually, but this time I am! Everyone talks about that Beta-Alanine itch with pre workouts, most take that as a sign that the pre workout has kicked in and the workout can begin. I usually only get that itch from the first time I use a new pre workout, and then it fades as my body becomes adjusted to the product. That being said, I give this a 4/5 because I felt like I had bugs crawling all over my body. Maybe that's a bad example, but you get what I'm saying; you definitely feel that itch and you definitely know when to begin the workout, there's no mistaking it. Overall: 4/5 I was really impressed by this product. I was hesitant at first after reading the reviews for it, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't buy this solely because the excitement of finding a grape flavoured pre workout overcame me, but i'm glad it did because it's a great pre workout. It exceeded all expectations, and even without the caffeine it still gave me the complete package of pre workout goodness. In conclusion, do I recommend that you buy this? Absolutely. Even if you rely on caffeinated pre workouts, give this a try, I did and I don't regret it for a second. Salute, Titans.
