First off I would like to say thank you to Universal for making such a fine product.
I bought Shock Therapy because I'd been feeling worn down at the time from school and work and wasn't carrying the best intensity into the gym at night. With all of the bills I've been paying lately, a lot of pre-workout stimulants were not an option for me financially. I had heard of Shock Therapy in the past and I decided to give it a go when I found it for $29 on an online retailer. It had a solid ingredient profile and that was enough to persuade me to buy it for that price. Below I have my thoughts on the experience:
ENERGY: The energy was excellent and I was feeling it within 15 minutes of taking it on an empty stomach. I was surprised at how well it charged me before hitting the iron as I hadn't felt that energetic for quite some time. I was able to put in 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours a night with no crash at all. This product follows through on its energy claims.
PUMP: The pump wasn't extraordinary like I've experienced with other products but it was noticeable. I had to stop and flex between sets because I was happy with the pump effect this product gave me. I've taken many popular NO products and I would say that this one is right in the middle as far as pump goes.
FOCUS/STAMINA: This was the best thing about Shock Therapy. I just couldn't put down the weights. My recovery time between sets was much shorter and I accomplished a lot that I normally wouldn't in one night. The stamina this product gave me was excellent. I normally stack Purple Wraath with my pre-workout products but I stopped within a few days because I could tell the Shock Therapy was aiding in this area. I was rarely distracted and I had great form when taking this.
LASTING APPEAL: At 50 servings this product followed through for most of the tub. It lost effectiveness when I got in the day 40+ range but it was still a miracle that it worked for that long. I've never had an NO product that worked consistently for that duration. I was going through a tiring stretch and I needed Shock Therapy every day that I used it. This formula is a sure bang for your buck in terms of how long it lasts.
IN CONCLUSION: I would definitely use Shock Therapy again. I will be cycling off of pre-workout stims for some time but when I need it again Shock Therapy will be one of the stims I'm considering to use. You can't go wrong with this product.
