Old School Labs Vintage Blast First 2-Stage Pre-Workout Supplement - Nitric Oxide Booster & Vitamin C for Immunity Blueberry Lemonade Powder

I'm a person who has switched between different pre-workout supplements over and over again. Some left me feeling too jittery, to the point whereI became nauseated & it was difficult to focus on my workout. Others became weak over time as I built up tolerance to them. All the while, I hadn't been paying too much attention to what I was actually putting in my body. Many of the pre-workout supplements on the market are not much more than an overload of caffeine and beta-alanine which gives you a temporary rush of energy, followed by a major crash. In addition, the majority of them contain proprietary blends, meaning you don't truly know the amount of each ingredient. In my search for a "cleaner" pre-workout, I came across Vintage Blast. The price was right, there were no proprietary blends, and it had a great ingredient profile. The main ingredient is L-Citrulline Malate, which has been shown to improve blood levels of Arginine even better than supplementing Arginine itself. It also contains D-Aspartic Acid, a natural testosterone booster. I used the product for the first time today, and felt a world of difference compared to the pre-workout supplement I was previously using. Upon taking it & driving to the gym, I felt no jitters or uneasy feeling which is something I was used to with all pre-workouts. Once I stretched out and was ready to begin excercising, the energy and focus was there. After about 45 minutes, I still had a sustained level of energy, but would get additional "bursts" which I assume is the 2nd stage taking effect. I was able to push my workout harder with shorter rest periods in between. Vintage Blast is an excellent pre-workout that tastes amazing, and Old School Labs has undoubtedly gained my trust as a consumer. I look forward to trying out the rest of their product line.

Great flavor and the right amount of boost. Been using this for a while. Gives you that kick needed. Little bit sour of a taste (in a good way).

I have been lifting weights for a little over a year. During this time, I have tried various pre-workouts...C4, The Curse, 1.M.R, ON PRE-, Arnold Iron Pump...these are just a few. Vintage Blast ranks as one of the better pre-workouts that I have used. 1. The packaging is pretty awesome. Not that that matters to anyone, but I just like it and wanted to give the company kudos for the design. It got me to stop and look at it. 2. It tastes really good for a pre-workout. Slightly chalky, but with a clear blueberry lemonade flavor. For a lot of people flavor is not a big deal. But if it is for you, trust that you will not have an issue drinking this stuff on the regular. 3. Performance is solid! The first day I only took half a scoop. The affects came on slowly. I took it about 20 minutes before I started my workout. I didn't really feel it for my first couple of moves, but by the third set (about 30-35 minutes in) I was feeling it. Definitely helped push more weight and kept me focussed. Lasted throughout my workout and beyond...about an hour. The next day I took a full scoop...and It got my motor going strong! Took less time to kick in. I started feeling it after about 15 minutes. After 25 minutes it was full on go time! Definitely did what it was supposed to do. Got me focused, got a great pump, and helped me push weight! Also, this stuff did not give me that itchy sensation (which is nice). If you take a half scoop you don't get that initial RUSH, but with a full scoop, it will pretty much slap you in the face! Now...having said all this, I don't particularly get the "two-stage" description? For me, this stuff lasted about as long as most other good pre-workouts. I would compare it to C4 or 1.M.R. for performance and lasting effect. Felt really strong about 3/4 of the way through my workout (typically a 2 hour session), but by the end...I was beat, which is stat quo. Now, I just started using this, so I cannot say how quickly my body will adapt to it. With the C4 and 1.M.R. it took about 2 weeks before I had to start using a larger dose to get the same affect...not sure about this stuff yet. All in all it is a really good product. But considering the fact that you only get 20 servings for the price, I have to give it a 4. There are pre-workouts out there that are just as good that get you 10 more servings at that price point. Now...if you care about the ingredients and the product being all natural or if you are a vegetarian/vegan, then this stuff is TOPS! Old School Labs has a great product here. If you are curious...try it! You definitely won't be disapointed!

I had been looking for a Pre-workout that didnt have Taurine, was not full of proprietary blends, and was not full of a bunch of usless ingredients. I stumbled on this product after search through Amazon for a bit and was relieved. Finally a product that looks good and is not a bunch of hype and fake science. I worked at a large well know vitamin store for about two years so I have seen a lot of different supplements. But everyone that came out was either missing something or too much of a bunch of usless crap. First off, it tastes great. It gives me a great buzz. I am not a stim junkie but I do drink a lot of coffee. It was solid energy for a straight 2 hours. Most would wear off in an hour or so but with that micro-encapsulated caffeine it lastes for a solid two and probably longer. When I took it within minutes I was jacked dancing around my living room. I got to the gym and all I can say is intense. I started on the bench and put my usual weight on and pumped out 12 easy. So I decided to add and extra 25 on each side and killed a second set. Added another 25 on each side and killed a third set. The pump was great. I felt huge but not to the point that it hindered my flexibility. I went on to kill every exersice for a solid hour. The whole time I am thinking this is what I have been searching for. Ive been looking for a Pre-workout for like 2 years. The ingrdients are great. Most are completly proven. And the D-aspartic acid is a good test booster. So really your getting two products in one. And the best part not taurine. My mothers a nurse and some of her friends that work in the ER have been telling her that most all the heart attack, panic attack, and stroke victims are getting younger and younger and most are in some way related to taurine. It raises your blood pressure. I have high blood pressure so I can not take that. Everything is in perfect quantities. I know i am just rambling now. But it is hard not to when you have a product this good. Ive been using it for about two weeks 4 or 5 days a week and I have not had to double dose or anything like that. TRY IT AND YOU WILL NEVER NEED TO TRY ANOTHER.

I've been a meathead forever. Back in the day it was Ultimate Orange and it's ridiculous amounts of ephedra to others when ephedra was banned. I finally settled in on Vintage Blast. My issue is that I flush pretty easily. Anything over 100% daily value of Niacin and I turn a color akin to a happy dog's red rocket. And the itching makes me want to rub myself down with broken glass. With VB, I don't have this issue. It truly is flush free. I get the pump, the energy, that feeling in my muscles that it's "go time" without resembling a baboon's back side. And it lasts. Most of my heavy lift days are 90 minutes and I power through on this stuff. No lost focus. I get a better sweat going too. The only downside is the flavor. I still gave it 5 stars because it works so well and honestly none of this stuff tastes good. I hate blueberries. I won't even eat a fruit salad that has had blueberries in it. Their flavor is terrible, they're a weird color. They're the Carrot Top of the berry family. I do like lemonade, though. The flavor of this stuff is that of Minute-Maid powdered lemonade that has suffered a Hot Carl from a big,fake blueberry. A chemical blueberry. To get around this, I mix it up and chug it all in one go. Then have a sip of coffee to knock the remaining blueberry taint flavor out of my taste buds. It works.
