Beetroot powder and baking soda make an unusual workout drink, even by Jesse James West's standards. They are part of the multi-day Temu experiment that anchors his three-upload week, alongside coffee, energy shots and a video-call consultation with sports scientist Dr. Mike Israetel.
"I Tested LEGAL Chinese Stimulants" has passed two million views. Its premise is a shopping-and-training experiment, not a straightforward supplement recommendation: Jesse examines suspicious-looking powder, receives a message identifying one purchase as counterfeit and compares an authentic energy shot with a Temu-bought version. His description explicitly warns viewers not to recreate the practices shown.
The comment section has a methodological objection worth hearing. One viewer points out that trying two products together makes it difficult to tell which caused an unwanted effect. Others focus on discontinued products and disappearing listings, rather than just the gym performance.
Two smaller uploads extend the subject: "I Tried N*cotine Patches for the First Time 💀" and "The World's Craziest PUMP!" Neither has approached the main experiment's audience.
Away from those purchases, the IMG Academy visit and "The Impossible Bar Bend Challenge vs. Fitness Influencers" remain among the channel's busiest videos. Jesse added roughly 100,000 subscribers over the week, although daily viewing is now well below its usual level. That softer daily pace also appears across several nearby fitness channels, including Browney and Jeff Nippard. For Jesse, the Temu experiment remains the largest current source of daily views.

What viewers say
It's not fair to use two products at the same time. If only one of them is bad and the other is fine, you'll end up feeling bad either way, and you'll end up labeling the second product—the one that's fine—as bad too.
