Hyper FX Review

 

Another sample packet gone from my overburdened cupboard.

I used this before a 5k tempo run at 6am. The reason I did this is because I have been out of coffee for 2 weeks now (too lazy/stupid/distracted to buy more) and ran out of caffeine pills, and this was the only thing I had lying around that showed any promise of jacking me up after a 5am wakeup that had followed half a bottle of wine the night before.

Again this is juicemonkey douche stuff full of chemicals, but in this case I almost don’t mind. The stuff fizzed and you’re not allowed to shake it, according to the package. Caffeine mixed with synephrine worried me slightly, but also intrigued me. I’ve never taken bitter orange befoe. Yet I like what it has going on. Bitter orange, caffeine, huperzine–a nice mix of uppers.

Unfortunately this hit me late in my run. I didn’t drink it early enough. I felt a definite norepinephrine boost though, and when used properly I could see how this would be a useful preworkout drink. It tastes dreadful but that has nothing to do with anything, since if we’re being tough weight lifters, we certainly can handle things that don’t taste that great, right? We don’t need everything to tastes like cookies and cream, and fruity fruit fruit punch. Erm. Anyway it tastes, as my princess would say, “heinous,” and has some chemicals you don’t need or want, but since nobody “natural” is making something loaded with so many wonderful uppers, I’m forced to overlook that.

4 bean-shaped cats out of 5.

 

Also: it’s hilarious that people are now googlemachining “bean shaped cat.” I may write more about the bean shaped cat later on.

Oops. How’d this get here? Ah well.
