So it really is a fat burning preworkout.
All the usual ingredients found in top fat burners are present (guarana, green
coffee, green tea, caffeine etc). These are all proven fat burners but you don’t
get the highest dose so this isn’t going to be your main fat burner. First and
foremost it’s a preworkout, this is just a nice little booster for your cutting stack.
The preworkout side of things are fairly
standard except no Creatine, perhaps because this is a cutting product and
Creatine is seen as a bulking supplement (although I personally use it
everyday). We aren’t given a breakdown of the “Amino-Pump Matrix” but that’s not
a major problem.
6.75g’s of protein is a nice little added
benefit from a preworkout and 7.2g’s of Carbs is surprisingly low as well.
All in all it’s a very good profile for
both a preworkout and a fat burner.
Taste
Orange is the only flavour it comes in at
the moment but that’s not a problem as it actually tastes really nice and it
smells like sweets. Most preworkouts taste pretty bad but this is actually
quite palatable.
Side Effects
None
Price
£29.99 for 450g which will give you 30
servings.
Results
Since this is essentially 2 products, a fat
burner and a preworkout, this is a bit of an awkward on to review. Let’s take
it one step at a time.
First as a preworkout, this is the primary
function, its does this very well. XPlode Rippedcore takes about 20-25 minutes
to properly kick in but when it does you certainly know about it. You will
immediately feel a surge of energy and a slight tingling in your hands. The pumps
you get are pretty good but nothing skin tearing. It’s worth noting the
original X-Plode is slightly stronger all round.
X-Plode Rippedcore’s secondary function is
a fat burner. This is not an afterthought but rather a well thought out attempt
to blend the two products. This won’t ever be strong enough to be your only fat
burner but it will give you that little bit extra when you are on your cut. I
actually think that this would be rather effective when bulking as a little bit
of fat control.
All round then X-Plode Rippedcore is an
excellent preworkout. It’s not quite as strong as the original X-Plode but I think
it makes a nice addition to any cutting stack. 8/10
