    In terms of a healthy pre-workout with great results, this is your product. I recommend using three (3) scoops to get the most out of the product, seeing how you need about three to five (3 to 5) grams of creatine to maximize its benefits (1 scoop equals 1 gram). I know it is beneficial to undergo a "loading phase" prior to supplementing with creatine, although I have seen great results without doing so. (

    I must not be using it right

    I like the price and idea of making these pre-workout supplements more natural and healthy but this does not provide the same type of energy and focus that I get with Jack3d or 1MR.

      Comments about True Athlete Training Formula - 9.2 Ounces Powder:

      I love this pre-workout mix. I take it before my gym workouts and I am definitely able to get a few more reps in on all workouts and I am able to work out longer. The creatine content isn't too high in this mix so you aren't going to bulk up too much unless you take multiple scoops. It only has the bare essentials opposed to all of those stimulants which is a big bonus to me because I don't need to feel jittery all day. Takes about 30 min to kick in and lasts for about an hour which is perfect for me.

        I use this before my workout( 3 scoops) with a pre game fuel by Gatorade.it gets the job done. The taste is OK. Its not like the other pre workouts with stimulants with those side effects. No jitters, no headaches, no stimulants. If you're looking for that, this is not the product for you. Its worth a try and price is affordable.

          Comments about True Athlete Training Formula - 9.2 Ounces Powder:

          I first bought this supp because it had everything i needed without the stims/caffeine. I workout around 3pm and have to be in bed by 8:30pm so this does allow me to sleep. It takes 3 scoops to feel the alanine to kick in and it comes quick like in 7mn. It does not last long though, fades away about 15mn after. Ok energy during workout. Mixes VERY easily and taste is very lightly sweetened. I would recommend to take this on light short workouts that dont require crazy energy. On heavy days that require lots of energy i would add 2 scoops of this onto a stronger 1 scoop preworkout that has caffeine/stims. Bottom line is there is no subsitute for a preworkout supp that has all the crazy stuff in it. This clean supp works as advertised on its label.
          I would also recommend taking this on weekends or your non training days when there is no need for hardcore stims but you still want the main ingredients.

            Comments about True Athlete Training Formula - 9.2 Ounces Powder:

            I have used many products to maintain my weight, build muscle and workout. I was always against Creatin and what many have said negatively about it. I always said I wouldn't use a product with Creatin and here I am writing a positive review about one. This product has creatin and I am happy I gave it a try. It doesn't hold water like others do, It doesn't give a bloating feeling and goes very very well with anything you decide to mix it with. I even add it to plain water to drink pre workout and I don't even feel it. I see results and like the product enough to write a review. I only write reviews on products I find that work the way it states it would work. One thing I like to remind people that many products don't work the same for everyone due to genetics, but I see this product working for more people than less as long as they use it as directed.

              I agree with another poster, it's a great concept, I'm just not feeling any results. I've tried Jack3d and NO Explode, I get more from them than I ever got from this. The whole "True Athlete' brand as a whole really doesn't do much for me.

                  This product isn't as good as some of the other pre-workout supplements out there, but this formula has something that none of those have. It is NSF Certified!

                  Due to the fact that it has no flavor and is caffeine free, I combine 3-4 scoops of this with 2-3 scoops of ON Amino Energy. This combination has been working great for me. It gives me great energy and actually works as a thermogenic, although everyone is different.

                  If you are an athlete subject to random drug testing (PED's) I highly recommend stacking these two products prior to your workouts!

                  Hope this helps!

                                  In terms of a healthy pre-workout with great results, this is your product. I recommend using three (3) scoops to get the most out of the product, seeing how you need about three to five (3 to 5) grams of creatine to maximize its benefits (1 scoop equals 1 gram). I know it is beneficial to undergo a "loading phase" prior to supplementing with creatine, although I have seen great results without doing so. (

                                      Overall Traning Formual is an amazing HEALTHY pre-workout. Three scoops give me a great boost in my workout in all areas of energy, endurance, pumps, and strength. Also I think the herbal N.O. regulator helps a lot. Great Product. For TRUE ATHLETES.

                                          One word for this product: AWESOME. Just picked this up last night. And man did i have energy. No jitter or real tingling of the face or body like other Pre-Workouts. This is the ultimate Pre-Workout. No side effects or bloating or stomach aches. I will keep using this product. Next for me is the protein and vitamins.
