Have you actually taken both NO Explode and Assault? The difference is incredible. If you are looking for a clean, no jitters pre-workout, Assault is the only one I've found.
Combat is a superior tasting protein to anything I've tried in the past and most people who use it would agree. The results may be similar to other proteins but the price compared to Optimum (#1 product on BB) is solid.
I definitely agree that many products in this industry are basically identical but Assault and Combat has been the best PWO/Protein combination I've ever used.
And you don't have to be a D1 football player to tell the difference in supps either...
Just curious, how is Jack3d not the competitor to Assault? Huts because it is more concentrated? I have not tried Jack3d. Does it have a different benefit or function?
