Nutritional Information

Here we have a preworkout with a little bit of everything in it. On paper this is a very strong, slightly overcomplicated preworkout. Campbell Nutrition has tried to cover every base to provide a preworkout that is “complete” in every sense of the word.

Fast acting sugars to provide an energy spike and preload the muscles with glucose which lays the foundation for a decent pump and workout. The Calcium included will help transport the glucose around your system.

There are a few ingredients here that you might not be familiar most of them are Amino Acids but one that’s important that you might not have heard of is:

Tyrosine – helps muscle mind connection, aids protein synthesis and the production of adrenaline.

Taste
I had the Blackcurrant flavour and it wasn’t quite to my personal taste, I found it a little bit strong so I often increased the water slightly to dilute it. It mixed well and there was no grit and the bottom of the shaker

Side Effects

None

Price

£24.99 for a tub with 40 servings in.

Results

For a preworkout like this that designed for energy, pump, focus, strength, muscle contractions and everything inbetween there is a lot of ground to cover. Pre-Training Pump does some things very well it delivers a great energy spike at the start of the workout although it only lasts about 35 minutes. The pumps are good and it does help you concentrate and really get “in the zone”. One of the things I noticed with Pre-Training Pump was that I could really feel the muscle when I lifting even on compound movements I was able to zone in more than usual on the muscle I was targeting, it made for much more effective workouts. Pre-Training Pump does a lot of things well but nothing truly outstanding, it’ll give you a solid workout everytime but it doesn’t leave you feeling like a God in the Weightroom.

Preworkouts don’t always taste the best and this one, whilst perfectly drinkable, wasn’t quit to my personal taste. Coming at just over 60p per serving this is a very good value preworkout. It would make a solid choice for anyone who hasn’t used many preworkouts before or who wants a bit of an “all-in-one” preworkout rather than one that focuses in one specific point.

Unfortunately Pre-Training Pump suffers a bit from trying to do too many things at once, it doesn’t fail at any of them by any means but you get the feeling that if they narrowed their focus a bit they could have made a good product a great one. 7/10
