Just thought I'd post about two (really four) products from Blackstar Labs that I've bee using lately and think are worth recommending. The first is BSL's GO!. GO! is a nootropic/stimulant mix that picks you up and helps you dial in and focus on the task at hand. A blend of caffeine, Choline Bitartrate, L-Tyrosine, Acetyl-L-Carnitine and a handful of other stuff, this is the product I use when I just can't seem to get up for a workout. I also keep a tub of it at work for those afternoons when the energy is lagging and I just can't concentrate on my work. Four scoops of powder, 16 ounces of water, and five minutes later I'm bright-eyed, busy tailed, and either hefting the iron or slinging around a page full of equations. It's a nice smooth experience -- it doesn't make me all jittery, like a pot of coofee would, and once I've taken it, it lasts for 2.5 - 3 hours. It's a great product, and I'd recommend it to anyone who needs a little boost from time to time. It comes in two flavors, tart grape and fruit punch. The grape is dag-nasty, but the punch is right tasty... The other BSL products I'm going to recommend are their various flavorings. If you're sick of sucking back the same flavor protein every day, do yourself a favor and grab a couple of BSL's different flavors and give yourself a little treat. So far, I've tried the Orange Cream (which tastes like the creamsicles I used to get from the Ice Cream Man when I was a kid), Fruit Punch (which tastes like, well, fruit punch), and FruiTropical (which tastes an awful lot like fruit loops or fruity pebbles). My favorite is the FruiTropical, then the Orange Cream, then the Fruit Punch. They also have chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry available, and green apple and cherry'n'berry out of stock (both of which I am waiting to try -- the green apple sounds great). At just 3$ for a bag which contains enough powder to flavor about 30 scoops of protein, it's not too hard on the wallet either. Just pick up a jug of Vanillla flavored MRM Metabolic Whey from Suppliments 101, and mix up a bit of flavor with your shakes.
