Product Review: Gaspari SizeOn

The second product in the Gaspari Stack.

After Superpump 250 blew like a tumbleweed in the wind for me, I was honestly hoping that SizeOn would totally bring it on.

And boy it did alright.

At first whiff upon opening the sachet, I'm greeted by a scent reminiscent of chinese ginseng. Not too strange... but I braced myself in expectation of a taste that would go along with that scent.

Surprisingly, it didn't taste that way. In fact, I think it tastes absolutely awesome. A nice, thick, zesty flavour that feels full-bodied and is simply perfect as a reward after a grueling gym session.

So what does SizeOn do? Like its namesake, it's definitely meant to make you bigger but the thing is... it doesn't contain any protein. WHAT? NO PROTEIN?

yum....

Well, think of it as a support product. While we all know that muscles are mostly made from protein, it is also crucial to have supporting factors. SizeOn aids volumization and recovery with its proprietary blend of creatines, electrolytes, minerals and carbs.

Any gym goer who knows his/her stuff knows that you don't grow before or during a workout. It is after - when you are resting and recovering that the body strengthens itself and improves.

And this is where I think SizeOn trumps.

It was no lie. The big man did come to town.

One of the top 10 IFBB pros in his competitive years, Markus Ruhl has since laid back a lil' bit... flying around the world to meet his fans and helping promote Ultimate Nutrition, his main sponsor.

He'll be competing this year though, for the Sandow and by the looks of it, he's gonna be mean and lean and full of muscles in the 8 weeks to come.

As I took a picture with him, his sheer presence was overwhelming. I couldn't breathe properly... maybe he was sucking up all the air standing next to me.

Autograph session.

A bicep pose. Not only packin' some serious 20"+ guns, this guy's forearm is as big as my leg man...

No topless poses though, since it's all hush hush before competition. Don't want to reveal his condition and form to potential competitors.

Quite an incredible experience meeting the fella and his wife, Simone who's so strong she could break me like a twig (she shoulder presses up to 160lbs!).

I wonder who'll come next?

Product Review: Gaspari Superpump 250

This is the first product in the Gaspari Stack.

I tell ya, the Westerners have some funky idea of what a Fruit Punch should be. Almost all supplements that I've tried bearing the flavour comes across as Cherry Juice. I don't think we Asians take too well to the overwhelming taste of cherries.





Anyway, pre-workouts are meant to be downed in one go so I didn't have to put up with the taste that much.


Went ahead with my training and anticipated a crazy pump or rush... but nothing happened for me. This one's a dud for me I think. I've heard rave reviews from other guys who have taken the stuff but once again, it's like I've always said... some stuff works for you while some don't. Every body is different so it's really about finding what works.

Looking at the formula, it's pretty decent but very technical. Gaspari sure spent his top dollar churning this stuff out with all the proprietary ingredients. I mean, you don't usually see ginseng in a typical pre-workout.

It has the usual electrolytes, arginines and BCAAs among the other stuff I've yet to figure out so all I can say is that Superpump 250 checks out alright... it's just whether it's a hit or miss for you.
