Sixpacks SNS "Focus" Review

**Sixpack** · 01-02-2006, 09:28 PM

First I would like to thank Steve and the SNS team for allowing me to test there products as I had heard very good feedback on it. I was hesitate to try it beings I did not want it to be like Neurostim beings I did not respond well to it. It works for some, but for me it made me more tired if anything. So here goes:
First Impressions:

One scoop which is a seving mixed in with 1 liter of water and some stevia. The taste I actually enjoyed and it was not too tart at all. I slight aftertaste but for me I do not judge these type of products on taste at all. I could care less as long as it gives me focus and energy

Thoughts:
Well I was really surprised and forgot how soon liquid type thermo products kick in. I would say within 10min I felt a slight energy rush and this is after just waking up from a nap. I would not say my heart rate was increased all that much which is always positive so I would like to take this before a cardio session .

Workout-
Workout went well not weight increases or anything like that but could really notice that i was focused on the job in hand. No increased sweating at all . I would say I had a higher then normal mood increase and rest periods between sets were about the same so far. This was the first day of taking it so not sure if i will bump it up to 2 scoops or not. I am not going to add anything to it just to make this as accurate as possible inless Steve or any of the SNS reps want me too. I will report back randomly when I use the product. So far I am impressed with it. I did not get tired and there was no crash at all and its about 3 hours since the last dose I took.

Great things from this product, let us know if you increase the dosage to compare. Thanks for the review. :nosthumbs

**Sixpack** · 01-02-2006, 10:40 PM

I sure will

**sns8778** · 01-03-2006, 08:15 PM

Just wanted to say I appreciate you doing a review on Focus XT. I think it is good to have you doing one since you did not do well off Neurostim. The main reason I say that is because the ingredients are very much alike, but the dosage amounts are very different.

I doubt you will need to go up to 2 scoops per day. Most people will not need to ever take 2 per day on a regular basis. It can come in handy from time to time to do that as needed, but for the most part 1 per day is sufficient.

**Sixpack** · 01-03-2006, 08:30 PM

Thanks Steve, I plan on not combining "Focus" with anything else. I want to give ya the most accurate feedback. I am going to take it every other day and I will stay at one scoop per day taken 30-45min preworkout. Thanks again Steve for the opportunity.

Thursday- 2nd time taking "Focus" about 35min preworkout.

Overall before I took a serving I was very behind on sleep as I only got 2 hours the night before so I was lacking a great deal. No better time to test it out.

Workout- Well the workout went very well. I took it with about 10oz water and I don't mind the taste at all. I can really feel this stuff kick in. It does not give me any type of nausea or does not overwelm me like some thermo's do. It just sort of give me a little kick where I am awake and aware. I was pretty zoned out before taking "Focus just because the lack of sleep.

My weights did not increase at all on the exercises . I am not look for strength gains at all on this more of a slow energy release from it. I took the serving at about 5am and started getting tired around 11:30 am so it lasted sometime. I only took one scoop as instructed by Steve to do so. I would like to try stacking this with something but I will hold off inless any of the SNS reps want me too. So far so good I will take it again on Saturday. I will continue to take it every other day.

**Sixpack** · 01-08-2006, 08:43 PM

Sunday-
This marked the 3rd taking taking the product. I took it on a pretty empty stomach about 30min prelifting. I have found to really enjoy the taste of this stuff much more then Neurostim.

Workout- Workout went well as it was heavy back day today and I was up 20 pounds on Deads. I felt "Focus" kick in within 20min of taking it once again. Its not an over stimulating jolt of energy but just a smooth release. Not overboard at all. I did notice I started to get a tad worn down at the end of the workout a little tired you could call it. I am not sure if that was from "focus" or not. Mood elevation was up for the most part and focus was I would say a 8 out of 10.
I will continue to take it every other day. I am tempted to take a double serving of it or combine it with something else.
More to come

**Sixpack** · 01-12-2006, 01:11 PM

Thursday- This marked the 4th time I have taken 'Focus' and this is by far the biggest test for it so far. One point I should make is that after talking with Steve on the phone for over 30min the other day he has to be one of the nicest guys I have talked too. Very outgoing and up front on many things. Easy to talk too and a true buisness man. His people should be happy to work for him.
Well I gave focus the test as I got only 2 hours of sleep beings I was traveling for an away game with my players we got home at 130am and I did my cardio at 3;15 am. I took a serving of focus with a serving of Xtend and it was weird it literally woke me up right away. It happened I would say withing 10-15min which was surprising. Granted I still was a little groggy but I was awake and aware what was going on and motivation was not a problem making it too the gym. I felt pretty good up until about noon that is when just the pure fact of lack of sleep got to me, but still very impressive that it lasted that long and I felt that good. My kids at school could not even piss me off even when I was lacking sleep lol. I will take my next serving on Saturday before legs day.

**Sixpack** · 01-19-2006, 01:07 PM

Well i have taken two servings of Focus XT this week one on Monday and the other this morning. Both times I have been very impressed on how fast it kicks in. One thing I have noticed is that I have been getting some slight cotton mouth from it. I have increased my water intake to make up for it. The buzz as some would call it is not overwelming, but like someone put it just puts you in a good mood. The main difference so far between Focus and Neurostim is I don't get that "foggy" type feeling after taking it. Its gives me a energy rush rather then a "wacked" out or calm laid back effect. I am not looking for a product that makes me relax and Focus does not do this. I have about half the jug left and will continue to use it as I see fit.

**Sixpack** · 01-24-2006, 02:12 AM

Monday- Well I got very little sleep last night lets say 3 hours so I wanted to give this a test. I took 1.5 servings abotu 30min precardio along with one serving of xtend. I would say within 15min I started feeling more alrert. I was still tired but I could tell i had energy. I got too the gym abotu 315am and hit up treadmill intervals for 35min along with upper abs.

THe cardio went buy very fast as I had my ipod turned up and I felt very good. Sweating was not increased at all. The one thing I like about Focus as it does not raise my heart rate at all. I weat a heart rate monitor so I notice its always stays within range. THis is very different from some other thermos Lipo-6 comes to mind where my heart rate would jump a great deal making cardio very hard at times. At about 10:30am I could tell it started to wear off , but still that is pretty darn good considering I took it at about 255AM. I will continue to use Focus for a very long time. Very impressed

**sns8778** · 01-25-2006, 08:31 PM

Glad that you are liking it and that things are going well for you on it.

**Sixpack** · 01-31-2006, 12:58 PM

Update Tuesday

Well I took Foucs last week every other day usually before weights at about 530AM. I took it alone to give an honest review. I would eat breakfast then take it 45min later just so it would not interfer with anything. Once again i would like to thank Steve and everyone involed with SNS. They truely are one of the best upcoming supplement companies. Great products, quality customer service and just overall good people to talk too via phone. Once again I was not disappointed in Foucs. THe feeling would last until about 130pm after lunch. The energy levels would drop, but nothing drastic where I felt like going to sleep. My mood and sense of well being is what I am a big fan off and Focus gave me this. The flavor and aftertaste I actually like very much. I got home at 130am Friday night from coaching a game in Phoenix well I woke up at 3am to do my cardio. I took one serving of Focus prior and withing 15min i noticed "that feeling" more awareness, more intensity etc. This truely was the biggest test so far for 'Focus'. I have about 3 servings left of it. I would say it ranks right up there with AMP and Stim X. These 3 are my favorites.
Thanks again Steve
