Day 1,2,3 and 4 compressed review
Training Style: 5x5 with added volume!
Diet: I'm holding steady on my PCT with a recomp style diet at around 2400-2600 cals/day at 40/30/30 right now
I'm a stim junkie, so I kinda have high expectations for pre workouts haha; I want a pre workout to keep me awake and energized for longer than an hour and a half. I don't necessarily need that beta alanine 'tingle' to make me deem if a pre workout is good or not
On to the product review at 4 days in
Packaging:
It's sexy, and I like the disclaimer sticker at the top haha; good ingredient layout!
Flavor profile: Crushing Punch
For there being no sugar or aspartame... damn this taste AWESOME!! It tastes better than hawaiian punch or kool aid, no joke! But, I did have to mix a bit more water with this thing, because it's a little more concentrated than other pre workouts I've tried, so do not take a shot of this, it will make u cringe lol.. so I say use the recommended serving of water, if not a bit more
Ingredients
You know that tunnel vision that people get with products with 1,3 dimeth? This product delivers that without this compound in it! I was skeptical at first, because I like to have my 1,3 dimeth in my pre workouts, but this one kept me focused and for a great duration as well... which leads to.....
Crash factors:
The drop off in energy with this product is damn subtle which I love No other things to mention.
10/10
Strength levels: My strength levels were slightly increased in the gym as I have been already taking citrulline malate, beta alanine and creatine mono in my other pre workouts. So to rectify this, I took the pre workout alone and it had the same, if not better effects without my added bulk powders which says a lot about ragnorok
10/10
Endurance levels:
This product's ingredient profile makes it worthy of giving you great endurance. I appreciate that vitamins b 6, 9 and 12 are in this along with citrulline malate in addition to the beta alanine while being dosed at a generous serving
9/10
Pump factor:
The product didn't make a significant difference as far as I can tell. But I did however stack this product with the NitroCeps sample that was sent to me and it was ridiculous!! My only complaint was the size of those enteric coated pills were HUGE (thats what she said) but the pumps were nice; almost felt like being on again; but it didnt' have that painful element to it
7/10 without nitroceps
10/10 with nitroceps
Vascularity
No apparent increases or decreases as far as I can tell, I will rate this again later if anything changes
Price factor
Although I didn't purchase it, I would DEFINITELY purchase this in the future. The price is top notch at the planet and for a stim junkie such as myself, 1 scoop is almost pushing it and I can definitely be good on .5 or .75 scoops to stretch the servings in the container a bit more.
Overall rating so far:
9.5/10!! A versatile product so far
Here are some near-starting pics: I will post more as the container is finishing up

yeah bro!! It is pretty damn good hahah; the flavor system is really up there; in terms of minimal chemical like taste and mixability

Try Lit-up AZM....you will never want a 1,3 product again
SweetLou321
Well-known member
Lit-up has a feel no other product has in the energy department...screw 1,3 lol. But rag has an overall solid formula outside of stims which is where im expecting the preformance to come from...these types of pre-wos have died in favor of the stim laced abc products out now

Hey bros! I apologize for the lack of logging; I'll make it a point to give more frequent updates!! I did not forget to keep notes on the progress so far
Here is a
Day 18,19 and 20 Cumulative Review:
Training Style: 5x5 strictly for now
Diet: PCT is done and over with and I'm still maintaining a recomp style diet at around 2600 cals/day at 40pro/30fat/30carbs right now
On to the follow up product review at 20 days (workout days that is) ...
Flavor profile: Crushing Punch
You'd think that your taste buds would get used to something and after a while it's just "eh, it tastes alright, here goes". But I actually look forward to drinking this even when I'm not going to workout on a given day! (but you probably shouldn't do that, as you'd want it just for your workouts :lmao: )
Crash factors:
0 Crash factors so far; it's pretty damn strong at 1 scoop and I don't see the need to go above that, unless you are EXTREMELY resistant to stims, in which case you should probably cycle off for a month before diving back in to the pre workout drinks. As I mentioned before, very subtle decrease, that doesn't drop you down on your ass an hour or two later.
10/10
Strength levels: I'd say my strength levels are maintaining, it's tough to give this a fair and accurate assessment, since I just came off of PCT, but I will let my body get used to being at baseline and come back to this later
10/10 on PCT, and N/A for right now, I will return to this area later
Endurance levels:
Everything in this product has taken full effect for me so far!!! This is where the product shines the most for me. The ability to keep pushing yourself when things are getting heavy at the gym haha. Decreased amount of rest time is needed for doing supersets, trisets or dropsets. Try it for yourself, but don't hurt yourself
10/10 easy
Pump factor:
Pumps are stabilizing at this point, I feel that it is a good thing that I don't generate a pump so damn quickly, because it may feel good, but if you can't keep repping out the goals for the day, then that's no good.
7/10 (I feel this rating is fine, because this product delivers well on the endurance department)
Vascularity
So things have changed haha. Although I can't say it was definitely ALL of the product bringing out the vascularity, I can see more veins on my forearms, both biceps, top of my chest/delt connections and a few on my calves (hell yes)
Rating: N/A but I'm sure it helped
Price factor
At this point, if you haven't bought it yet, you definitely should!! You have 40 full servings with this thing, and even then most people should do fine on a half scoop or even 3/4 scoop. If you're at the point of needing 2 scoops, consider cycling off this stuff, you'll keep your wallet and your body happy.
Overall rating so far:
9.75/10!! This is going to be a staple in the future for me, when I run out of this product and I have yet to try to the caffeine-free version, but you can bet that I will in the near future.
**I just wanted to apologize again to the gang at MST and the readers of this log for the lack of updates. I will keep you guys posted more frequently and have no excuse for not holding up my end of the bargain, Philip :frustrate:frustrate:frustrate **

Epic back workout today!
Hit some nice numbers today and the RagNorok is in full effect!! I was surprised because yesterday I had a wicked heavy deadlift session, so my forearm and pulling strength was expected to be decreased today, but with the insane recovery, things are looking up!!!
1. Wide-Grip Pullups with a goal of 40-50 reps - 10-17-22-28-31-37-41... all these are done from a dead hang and full peak contraction
2. Seated Cable Row (close-grip) with slow ass negatives - 150 (5) (5) (5)160 (5), 160 (4.5)
3. Lat Pulldown - 1 dropset to failure starting at 170 lbs
4. 90 Degree Bent Over Row with minimal body english - 210 (5!!), (5) (5) (5) (5)
5. HS ISO Pulldown with slow negs and extra squeeze at bottom - 1plate+35 per side; (5) (5), (5) (5) (5)
I experimented today with 1.5 scoop and gosh, was I feeling GREAT in the gym, not wired out of my mind, but smooth, sustained energy!!!
Tomorrow, I will show you guys a sample of my chest workout ^_^

Just started my jug of the Ballistic Blue Raz and it is solid. The flavor is spoiling me and the energy is just what I'm looking for. It doesn't get you angry and jittery, but it does get you focused and clear about the task at hand. I started with 1 scoop and will probably try 1 1/2 scoops next time. The pumps are there as well. MST has never let me down with any of their supps!!

K guys, this congestion and sore throat is nearly gone.
I was going to work out today, but I figure I should let the body recover fully before thrashing it all over again haha.
I am praying that I can workout tomorrow AM so I can get back to drinking more RagNoRok
I will be back to update my friends

Can't emphasize this enough, but you already know the story :lmao: It tastes good, nuff said!
11/10 = yes 11/10
Crash factors:
0 Crash factors for the entire duration of the run! Just subtle, let down of energy AFTER the gym which is good. You're mind slowly settles down and it's time to rest
10/10
Strength levels: You can expect slight strength increases as the days go by! Don't be fooled by the placebo effect, it takes time.
Rating 7/10
Endurance levels:
Things have gotten interesting!! The endurance levels are fully raised and the product TRULY shines here! This is one aspect of the product that delivers early on and gets better as times goes by
11/10 YES!
Pump factor:
Pumps are good, not insane, but just good.
7/10 (I feel this rating is fine, because this product delivers well on the endurance department)
Vascularity
Vascularity is still prevalent, hard to say if this product was responsible for it.
Rating: N/A at this point
Price factor
Buy this stuff already damn it!! Look at it this way. It's an investment into having killer workouts and skyrocketing endurance levels! DO IT!
Overall rating so far:
9.8/10!! A definite staple in the supplement arsenal !!!
Thank you my friends!!!
