"The first time I used forearm fuel was following the free sample promotion I saw on facebook. I was eager to try it during a real workout. I am a full time paramedic student, and when I'm not doing clinicals in the hospital or with the fire department, it is hard to find time or energy to climb. Even giving one hour to my hangboard or attic wall seemed dreadful! I was stoked to have a free afternoon to dedicate to the gym, as well as to try out the Forearm Fuel. What I experienced was seriously nuts! My partner and I, who regularly try to climb at least 20 routes per gym session, were able to continuously run laps on nearly every 5.10 in the gym. The most amazing thing I felt was my ability, while doing laps, to actively rest during a climb and nearly completely de-pump my arms and finish laps without hanging. We climbed continuously for over three hours that day. That was without a doubt the most productive gym session I have ever had. Most of the time, fatigued forearms lead me to end my workout, this time I experienced soreness in almost every muscle group. Soreness after a workout is great, it means you're doing something right! My abs felt engaged, my legs, back and shoulders, and I know that was because Crank gave me the energy to climb past my old threshold, where my forearms dictated how long I would climb. So, I felt an immediate increase in stamina and endurance from Crank. I cannot imagine supplementing it with the performance package (which I fully plan on purchasing). I really believe Crank will push my climbing into the realm of 5.13 and higher and double-digit bouldering. I cannot wait to consistently use your product!"
