Assault Reviews (Muscle Pharm)
- Great Clean Energy
- No Crash
- Good Pump
- Good Flavors
Muscle Pharm Assault is one of the best selling pre-workout supplements. And I think it’s better than other pre-workouts such as Jack3d or Neurocore. This product gave me clean energy, really boosted my workouts at the end of the day — and I did not crash because of the stims in the supplement. So no crash of energy and I can feel the pumps during my workout. But I’m getting ahead of myself – back to the review.
I workout late at night because I am busy throughout the day, so I do not get time to relax. I really need a kick to start my strength training sessions. Which is why I bought Assault. I had previously tried a free sample (who said free supplement samples don’t work!) and I really liked the taste and the energy. So I bought three of the eight serving packs of Assault. I could have gone for a 32 serving tub but I like to try different flavors.
Taste
These aren’t the only flavors, they are just the 3 that I liked the sound of and were actually available in samller packs.
Orange Mango – tastes great, I liked the blend of mango and orange and found it quite refreshing. I can give it a score to compare them with each other – 8.5/10.
Raspberry Lemonade – it tastes awesome and a blend of slight sourness with the punch of raspberry. I can rate this 9/10.
Fruit Punch – this is not as good as the other two. It tastes quite similar to other fruit punch flavored supplements. I rate it 8/10.
Mixability
It mixes really well in water but there are some smaller clumps that float on the top. This might be because of the BCAA present in it. Otherwise, it can mix with a few whirls of the spoon. I give it 8/10 for mixability.
Digestion
There was no issue with digestion. It’s absolutely fine. I felt quite good while using it and will buy it again. No diarrhea/loose stools as happens sometimes when you use pre-workouts rich in fillers, l-arginine or excessive sweeteners. This calls for a rating of 9/10 from me.
So, Does Assault Work?
Muscle Pharm Assault is effective, and I even felt that I could work out for even longer after completing my weight training session. There was no energy crash as with other PWOs, no jitters owing to excessive amounts of stims and no sleeplessness.
I took it 30 minutes prior to work out and loved my gym sessions. These are the pros of MP assault. I felt great pumps and could lift more reps and more weight. I give it a score of 9/10 for effectiveness.
Under cons, I can pretty much only list the price. It costs a bit more when it comes to the price per serving. I paid around $1.25 for a serving – although bear in mind I deliberaetly bought small tubs to check flavors. Assault does now come in a 50 serving pack too which at online prices should bring the cost well under $1 a serve.
It is easily available and quite popular in my gym. Therefore, you can buy this without any second thought and I bet you will like it. Particularly if you do not like too much stimulant, and you want a supplement that can support recovery during high intensity weight training sessions.
I bought an 8 serving pack of Assault because I wanted to know what the hype was all about. So I tried it and was not blown away like other users say.
I have to say that I have tried better pre-workouts, but it was OK.
Taste:
Taste was good but could be better, the flavor I got was fruit punch and I mixed it with 12oz of water (maybe I should have gone for the Raspberry Lemonade!).
There were indeed a few things floating on top of the mix but I drank it no problems anyway.
Effectiveness:
This is where the supp gets a thumbs down from me because I was not feeling the rush of energy, you know that feeling that makes you want to lift everything you see in the gym, for me it just wasn’t there.
Overall:
I finished the 8 servings but not sure if I would recommend this to a friend. Pre-workouts like Muscle Marinade for example work awesome on me, although don’t on other people. So I think you just have to try different products to find the ones that suit your body best. If one doesn’t do much for you, definitely try others.
I think this is definitely the case. PWO’s work differently on different people. Both Assault and Muscle Marinade are great products – but if you find one doesn’t work for you, try the other and you’ll probably see what I mean 🙂
