OUTLIFT Amped Max Dosed HIGH STIM Pre Workout Powder, 6G Citrulline, 3.2G Beta Alanine, Alpha GPC, CognatiQ, Extreme Energy, Massive Pumps, Electrolytes, Nootropics Blueberry Lemonade - 22 Serv

Background: I’m new to exercising regularly, I lost 150+ lbs and now I can move without a ton of pain so I’m making the most of it! Pre-workouts are not just for lifting! I use them mainly to help me get through my early morning cardio - I jog 5 miles at 6am everyday, rain or shine. This is the 4th pre-workout I’ve tried so far. I quickly realized I’m tolerant to most stimulants (thank you ADHD and Ritalin!). I’ve been using a different brand which gives me a huge boost of energy at the beginning of my workout but quickly falls off, leaving me dragging behind. I love the boost, which came with a nice feeling of euphoria, but I hated having to drag myself through the last mile of my run. In comes outlift amped. I’m somewhat of a stim junkie but I’m too nervous to try the super high stim “go hard or go home” type formulas. *NOTE: After taking this a few times, I decided to add theobromine and rhodiola rosea to my stack, increasing the stim effect (theobromine) and the mood boosting/euphoria (rhodiola). At first, I was kinda disappointed. It didn’t give me that oomph at the beginning like my other preworkout did. But after a couple miles, I saw the benefits. I was able to pace myself more easily, instead of going hard in the beginning and my energy petering out at the end. With outlift, I had energy for my whole workout and was still going strong after. The effects lasted a good 5 hours with a slight decline in energy as the day went on - it wasn’t super noticeable, no crash or anything like that. Pros: * LONG lasting energy * No jitters * No crash * Decent euphoria effects, though it could be a tad bit stronger imo, but that’s just me nitpicking * Taste is decent - I bought fruit punch. Others taste a bit better but it’s not that big of a deal. I mix mine with as little water as possible so I can get it down as fast as possible. * Great for endurance, stamina, and long workouts. * Contains double or even triple the dose of “beginner” formulas * The energy and mood boosting effects are very smooth and steady as compared to other high stim formulas- instead of getting that instant rush, you get a slow ramp that stays steady and lasts a long time * Most other formulas messed with my GI tract and either gave me diarrhea or caused an upset stomach. Not this one. * Mixes easily, no sediment or clumps, but does have a slightly gritty texture. But I just shake mine a few times and shoot it down so you might have less grittiness if you mix it longer. * It functions like I need it to, I only added the extra ingredients to give it the extra bump over the edge it definitely wasn’t necessary, I just wanted to see if I could tailor it more to my needs. * The caffeine/stims help dull muscle aches and help you “push through”. If you don’t know your limits, DO NOT push through any type of pain or you’ll hurt yourself. CONS: * I didn’t feel the boost immediately when it started to take effect, which I miss a bit BUT the longer lasting energy is worth it, imo. YMMV. * The euphoria/mood boosting also is slower to take effect but again, the effects are a slow ramp but stay steady and lasts a long time, less of a rollercoaster type feel * The taste is decent but it’s also more on the bitter spectrum instead of the sour/salty taste other formulas have. Not a big deal, I just shoot it down as fast as possible. * I wish it came in my sizes - I’d rather buy a huge tub than a bunch of small tubs - nitpicky TIPS: * Do not start out with this one if you’re new to preworkouts or are sensitive to stims. If you must, start out with half a scoop for a few days before you do a full scoop. You do not want to be mid workout and suddenly have your heart go crazy or have an anxiety attack. * Stay hydrated! If you don’t, you will feel horrible and it’s NOT a good time. I suggest a hydration drink with electrolytes, especially if you sweat a lot. * Temper your expectations. This one is not going to give you that instant boost/high that a lot of products have. But it will let you go harder for longer and it does have longer, smoother effects. With others, I usually end up having a mild crash halfway through the day, nothing awful, just feeling tired/drained. This one slowly winds down, so if you’re not paying attention, you won’t even notice it’s gone. * If you want a bit more energy or more of a mood boost, I suggest doing some research or talking to your doctor to see if there’s something you can add to your stack. If you take meds or have any health conditions, definitely talk to a doc first. I decided to add theobromine (for a bit more stim) and rhodiola (mood boost) to mine to make it more like my previous formula but better. Be careful when adding additional ingredients, some of them might interact with others that are in this formula or with any meds you take. Do so with much caution. * DO NOT PUSH THROUGH ANY TYPE OF PAIN unless you are experienced and know your limits. You could easily injure yourself and be stuck on the sidelines for a few months or even years until you heal. This sucks hard, you do NOT want to be in this position. BOTTOM LINE: This is a great product. The price is average for decent preworkouts and this one has higher doses compared to other products of a similar caliber. It’s a great value for the money because you’re getting double (or even triple) the dose for a comparable amount of product. My biggest complaint is the taste but really that’s neither here nor there. Even ones with great flavor get old and become tiring to choke down. If you’re wanting a longer lasting, smoother ride, this is the one for you. If you’re chasing that “high” or need that energy hit, I’d go elsewhere. I plan on using this one as my daily and cycling in the faster one for those days when I NEED that additional boost. This is definitely worth the money, imo and I will continue to buy this product and recommend it to others.

This is a really nice pre-workout if you know the correct amount to take. The strawberry flavor is nice compared to the typical “ blue raspberry” and “sour gummy” flavor that nearly every other brand offers. Great for endurance and focus. No jitters. I take it quite early in the day so I would not know if it would keep you up at night if you are an evening user. Not the most amazing for that “pump” feeling but good for powering through a long workout.

I included a pic so you can see that I have dedicated years to lifting and also my body to trying pre workouts. So I'm not a novice to the supplement industry and the scam products that come filtering out of the industry. I bought this supplement because it was properly dosed as the label indicated. However, all I got from this preworkout was stomach aches my entire workput and no pump. I've used many pre workouts in my life but never have used a preworkout that made my stomach feel like acid was sloshing around in it the whole workout like this one does. Also, there were never any beta alanine tingles felt with this. Which goes to show that the 3.2 grams of it listed are false as that will elicit that tingley response. There's a reason no one talks about this supplement. It sucks quite plainly and the ingredient label is a fabrication. Because it shows the best bang for your buck until you try it and realize there is no benefit besides stomach cramps. The taste is ok and slighly fizzy but for effectiveness it gets a zero. Save your money and look elsewhere. Update 2025: ok so time has gone by and this supplement has been reformulated. I will say now that the clinical strength outlift works pretty well and is dosed optically. No kore stomach upset, full amini acid profile, high doses of taurine, tyrosine and caffeine. No bs stims that just make you sick and everything validated that will actually help your workout. This supplement now passes the test and is highly recommended as being everything you need and no fluff for a post workout. I only wish they had included glycerol in this formula but that's a slight nitpick.

This product works well. However, I had to go to the ER due to pain in my upper abdomen. After blood work, ultrasound, and CT scan it was determined my liver enzymes were extremely elevated (ALK Phos-166, ALT-736, & AST-406) as well as my liver and spleen being enlarged. I am NOT claiming this is the only product that caused this but I can’t say it didn’t attribute either. I have taken very many pre workouts through the last several years.

The best combination of supplements to have a great workout

As someone with narcolepsy I’ve tried ALOT of supplements for energy in general; and let me tell ya this one takes the freaking cake! Great taste and the energy from it is incomparable. I mean I go from tired, fatigued, depressed, and unmotivated; to energy that keeps me awake for days!! Upon opening the container I immediately cough and am filled with delight and aspiration. I fill my glass with way too little water stir it up and jug it down; delicious to the last sip. After consuming I have immediate diarrhea; so I’m probably allergic and might want to talk to a doctor about that; but the buzz from the caffeine that I’m overly sensitive too makes me forget to call the doctor, or that I even have a phone, or that there are doctors. But I digress. On this stuff; which I’m convinced is just relabeled cocaine; I can run for hours, do yard work, and forget that I have a job; instead of just sitting depressed in my room playing video games. You guys buy this!!! And you won’t even want to buy food again! #energeeeeze

I expected more but it gives a decent amount of kick and power to my workouts. It would be best to get it on sale for super cheap not worth full price at all
