THE PROMISE
Coming from the king of Intra Workouts, is a new Pre Workout with tons of bold claims (aren’t they all), but at least we can say the Scivation Quake 10.0 is backed up with a very unique ingredient matrix.
In this Quake 10.0 review, we will dive into the label and try to figure out what you should really expect from this buzzing Pre Workout.
What is in it & why
Well, isn’t this an interesting label?! Let us look at the highlights from the label and then summarize this thing.
- We are talking about 20 servings per tub. On the lower end…
- Scivation mixed in 3.5g of their best selling xTend BCAA blend. Real cool. This means you are getting an intra workout + pre workout in the same product
- Quake 10.0 got you well covered when it comes to N.O Production & Pump. With 3g of pure L-Citruline, 750mg of Arginine Nitrate and the new & upcoming patented capros. So you can expect big things on the pump and NO department.
- 750mg L-Carnitine & L-Tartrate – Boom, another anti fatigue ingredient and in a generous dosage. This baby here has been shown in research to reduce the DOM effect which means you can recover faster and work harder.
- 1g of ‘Peak O2’ – This is a patented formula coming from a company called ‘compound solutions’ which is positioning itself as the next big thing in Endurance, Strength & muscle recovery. We salute Scivation for going cutting edge here and the intersection with the xTend BCAA should make this supplement an Intra Workout & recovery Animal!
- Bring in da focus – L-Theanine & L-Tyrosine, with a whopping 1.5g of L-Tyrosine and 100mg of L-Theanine, again Scivation went hard in the focus department. We like the synergy of these 2 ingredients
- 175mg of caffeine per serving…ouch, well, here’s the thing. If you are a stim junky and anything less than 300mg of caffeine doesn’t get you going, you will need 2 scoops of this thing which mean this tub will only get you going for 10 workouts!
The Label’s Bottom Line
Oh my…what can we say, this label has a split personality. As an endurance, power & focus formula, this is probably one of the best we’ve seen. With tons of ingredients that will keep you going and going. But if you are going to rely just on the Quake 10.0 for stimulants and you are a heavy stim user, it’s just not going to cut it for you and if you go for 2 scoops, then well, this is going to be an expensive experience. Our personal exprience shows that the blend of L-Theanine & Caffeine makes caffeine great again, even at lower dosages.
FINAL VERDICT
OK, so here’s the thing, if you don’t like stims anyway and want all the other things a pre workout should give you, you are going to be very happy with the Scivation QUAKE 10.0. This is an endurance & recovery power house. Probably the best out there. But if you need that extra kick of caffeine, then you have 2 options, skip this one all together, or…supplement it with pure caffeine tabs (these are really cheap) and, magic, you got yourself a complete fully dozed kick ass Pre & Intra Workout solution for the price of one. Bottom line – We Like it!
