      Does what it's supposed to
      Best preworkout I've had in a while. I've been able to workout for an hr EASY. Even made me sweat. It does give a strong tingling,but if you read the info on the canister then you would know that. Smells great, taste not so much. I mean it's not HORRIBLE I've had worse. I'll definitely buy again and just try a different flavor

      Once good, going downhill
      Used to be my go-to; not too much caffeine, good pump, energy, focus, dissolved well. Something changed a few months back and now it's gritty, flavor is more artificial, and it gives me a killer headache around 50% of the time. Switched to a higher stim pre workout with similar formulation (same or higher dose of everything here, plus some extras) and I don't have the same adverse reaction, so not sure what the deal is.

      Great Product and cheaper than others
      I like the taste. It's not to bland or strong like other brands I've tried. It also does not leave an after taste. It does it's jobs and providesa great boost to my workouts.

      Great taste, great pump, fun tingles
      My favorite pre from Raw so far, but I will admit I haven't tried many. It was the safest bet and can't beat the bomb pop flavoring. Tingles are next level and the pump goes off once the tingles set in.

      Great pre workout !
      Best flavor hands down! I've tried many pre workouts and this specific creamsicle flavor always hit. Does make you feel very itchy though but that's the point to getting a good workout !

      Definitely will buy again
      I've been using the Bum Essential Pre-Workout in the orange flavor, and it's been a solid addition to my routine. The taste is genuinely impressive, smooth, refreshing, and not overly artificial like a lot of pre-workouts on the market.

      Performance-wise, it delivers exactly what I need. It provides a noticeable boost in focus and energy, helping me stay locked in and push harder through my workouts without feeling jittery or overstimulated.

      Did the flavor change? It doesn't taste the same and just not good.
