The Europa and Supplement Thoughts...

Last weekend I had a choice: go to Phat Camp in Vegas or go to the Europa Expo here in Phoenix.  I chose the Europa because it was close to town and I have been to A LOT of Phat Camps.  *sidenote: check out About Phat Camps if you would like more information about what these are.

I had so much fun over the 2 day event.  I loved spending time with my husband, but I also loved going around to all of the booths, seeing all of the supplements and clothing lines, as well as watching the American Strongman competition.

I still have TONS of supplements left, but here are some of my favorites that I have tried so far.

NLA for Her pre-workout "Uplift" - not bad.  I'm typically not a fan of "the tingles", but I felt like I could lift a ton.  I really liked that part.  Flavor isn't too bad either, but I suggest following the directions for the amount of water to use.  The first day, I used much more and it didn't taste quite as tasty as day two.

Would I buy these?  Maybe to mix up my workouts.  Just not a huge fan of spending money on something that makes me tingly.  Very interested in trying other supplements in their line.

Optimum Nutrition Pro BCAA - DELICIOUS!!! I know it comes in a few flavors, but this was the lemonade.  I added the full amount of water and then some.  Loved how it made me feel and once again, loved the taste.

Will I buy these in the future?  ABSOLUTELY!!!

 Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy.  I believe this may be a new flavor, strawberry lime.  I briefly looked for these on the ON website, and couldn't find the flavor.  Once again, LOVE the taste and I love the energy and focus it gives me in my workouts.  I personally took both servings at once and felt great!

Will I buy these in the future?  Probably, but not at the expense of my BCAAs.  :)

GAT Nitraflex - hard core supplement!  STRONG!  Taste was alright.  I felt a slight strangeness to the flavor.  But man was it intense!  Tingles - oh yes.  And just after my 5 minute warm up on the treadmill, I was already sweating.

Will I buy this?  Probably not.  Just too strong for me.












That's pretty much all that I tried last week.  I am trying to stick with one brand before moving onto the next, and I have multiple samples of some things.  I will review more in the future.

Until next time, have a wonderful week!
