Stimulant-free pump pre-workouts didn’t have an overly explosive start to the sports nutrition industry, being present for several years, although more recently they have become quite the significant part. Supplement companies have strung together some genuinely powerhouse products, all geared toward enhancing muscle pumps, without the infusion of any stimualnts. Another big driver behind the popularity of the subcategory are the formats it comes in, including a compact pump-powering shot.
The team at 5% Nutrition has revealed and released Pump Shot, a compact 2oz or 60ml shot; however, instead of coming packed full of stimulants for a quick hit of energy, this is indeed a stimulantless pump pre-workout. The brand has taken the modern route in its latest innovation, squeeing in a sizeable and efficious dose of the always enjoyable glycerol. There aren’t a huge amount of ingredients in Pump Shot, just two main drivers really with the fat dose of glycerol being the one that stands out the most.
5% Nutrition’s Pump Shot features a huge 20g of glycerol per bottle, similar to the much larger, bulk-liquid pump pre-workouts on the market. For an extra touch, the brand has also thrown in the S7 blend at its usual 50mg a serving, and all you need to do to get all of that is drop an entire 2oz shot down the hatch.
Pump Shot is available for purchase immediately through 5% Nutrition’s online store at 5percentnutrition.com, and to make it easier to try it out before grabbing a whole 12-piece case, there are single-serving bottles you can purchase. The cost of Pump Shot individually is $2.49, which works out to the same as a case of 12 at $29.99. You don’t get much choice on flavor for this one, as there is only the one lonely taste to choose from in Tropical Punch, with more likely to follow if Pump Shot finds success.
