Another (mini) pulse review

**Marks1972** · 14-09-2007 07:22 PM

In spite of Parcelforce doing their best not to deliver my items today, ive got my first batch of pulse, trained arms today as usual so heres my first impressions.

I got it mixed with the berry blast flavoring.

On opening the first thing i thought was... Dulux one coat gloss! Smells very much like paint to me

Being the chimp that I am, i chose to forgo the useage instructions and go straight for a 20g serving. Im quite a big chap so i tend to go on the generous side when it comes to supplements...naughty i know.

Mixed it with the required amount of tap water, fine with a spoon in the glass, no probs at all... still getting that freshly painted room smell.

First glug was a bit of a shock.. but to be honest it doesnt taste bad at all.. if anything i prefer it to my previous pre workout stack of whey, maltodextrine, and creatine monoH.

On the drive to the gym i felt a few prickles in my arms, nothing unpleasent.

I was feeling pretty lethargic earlier in the day, but have to say i powered through my arms routine in 20 mins less than usual. Hard to judge if i got a better pump as i always finish with a drop set which tends to hit the spot, but i definately felt tighter contractions during the workout, especially on standing ez bar curls.

My vascularity is very poor, but for once the vein on top of my bicep was evident, not sure if this can be attributed to the pulse or not, but was nice to see.

All in all its a thumbs up so far, Chest tomorrow so will add a note on how that goes then.

I found with the 20g that I get hot prickles all down my arms, on my face and on my hands, usually goes away about 5 mins into the workout.

Trained chest today, hard to be objective as a noob as im constantly improving, but i managed a bench press PB of 115kg x 6 reps and managed to press more on incline press after flat press than i usually do.

Getting used to the taste also..in fact, call me odd.. but im starting to kinda like it.
