Review Summary
Overall, I am really impressed with Man Sports’ Game Day pre workout. I’ve used it on several occasions and plan to continue using it.
If you’re on the fence or looking for a great pre workout -- I’d say go for it. It’s a solid “daily driver” pre workout that is strong enough to help me with tough workouts but not too intense that I need to cycle it on/off.
I’d say I like it more than Citadel Nutrition’s Tier 1+, but not quite as much as Legion’s Pulse. It’s worth noting that Pulse is nearly twice as expensive though, which makes Game Day a great pound for pound pre workout. It’s damn hard to beat at this price point.
Pros
I love the 350 mg of caffeine and 3.2 grams of beta alanine. I feel energized, focused, and nice overall when I take Game Day pre workout.
I also am a big fan of the value here: you’re getting 30 doses for about $1.15 a serving, though I’ve seen it advertised on Amazon and Muscle & Strength for as low as $27 (less then $1.00 per serving).
In a product category where there are a lot of rip offs, Man Sports is providing a real product at a sensible price.
Pound for pound, this is a top 5 value pre workout (and I’ve seen a lot of labels).
Cons
It’d have been great if they used citrulline malate instead of L-citrulline, as citrulline malate has a greater body of scientific research backing up its efficacy.
They also included a few ingredients that I don’t personally care about, like creatine HCL, taurine, and juniperus communis. The creatine HCL is fine, but I personally don’t look for creatine in my pre workout since I take creatine daily anyway (and it doesn’t matter when you take creatine with respect to an individual training session).
These are minor points of criticism, but I think if they focused their ingredient label a bit and switched to citrulline malate they could make this very solid pre workout even better.
Second Opinion: Fitness Deals News
But don’t just take my word for it. The “stim junkie” himself, TJ, also gives Game Day his stamp of approval!
