Biorhythm Pre Glow
Had the pleasure of
going to the Arnold Classic (2015) this year. Much Thanks to my wife for the
great Birthday gift. It is certainly a spectacle. The bigger
companies like Gaspari, BSN etc. are mobbed while the smaller companies are
more interactive, less lines and the employees are more open to chat with you.
Anyway one of the
companies I have been keeping my eyes on is Biorhytm. Have heard some good
things and the products seem pretty good. I was fortunate enough to get a few
samples of Pre Glow, their Pre Workout.
Protocol:
As many of you know, I
am an early bird. 4:30/5 am wake up call. Fasted cardio and weights.
Assessment
Flavor:
The candy melon was
pretty good. Was a little bit of a watermelon with a hint of sweetness. Mixed
it in about 20 oz’s of water. Was still pretty flavorful. Sometimes when mixed
with this amount of water, flavors get muted.
Unfortunately from
here the rest was downhill. Let me first say that as always this is my personal
assessment. What does not work for me is not as always indicative of how a
product will work for you.
About 30 minutes in ,
prior to any exercise, I had difficulty breathing and heart was racing pretty
good. It was almost as if there was a lead weight on my chest keeping me from
fully expanding my lungs. I took a gamble and decided to do some light walking
on the treadmill in hopes that I could burn off some of the effects. Didn’t
really do much. I hit the weights but just did not feel right. Tried to push
through, again in hopes of the effects subsiding but to no avail.
About 3 hours later,
the chest tightness finally subsided and I was able to move through my day
without being uncomfortable.
The sample I received
was wrapped in one of those ‘stick” type wrappers and not a square pouch.
Ingredients were hard to read, although I did research the ingredients prior to
ingestion, with nothing being out of the ordinary. The only thing that “might”
have happened was perhaps the sample was multiple servings? But again I cannot
confirm or deny this. Regardless I have accidently multiple dosed products
before but never had the shortness of breath.
So unfortunately I
will be passing on future consumption of this product.
For those of you that
have tried this, would love to hear from you?
