Tried Re1gn for the first time today. Took 2 scoops of KrusherZ in 10oz of water. I enjoyed the taste of it, but will use less water next time (8oz). OL, you did an outstanding job on this pre. Great energy, no crash, one of the best pumps I have ever had, and the focus was amazing. I am already regretting only ordering 4 tubs.

So am I the only one who is turned into a raging insomniac by this stuff? Whatever st1m-X is lasts longer than anything else I've taken. Had to take NyQuil the last couple of nights to fall asleep, and I take it in the morning. Maybe this will go away as my tolerance builds, who knows? Worth it though

I would have to agree with the cough medicine taste. However the aftertaste finish it was good. I found it to be bitter not necessarily tart/sour. I would give it a 7/10. Mixed 2 scoops in cold water and let sit in the fridge. Props though for trying something new and not going the safe boring route of kiwi strawberry , watermelon , or the unholy blue razz.
Coming from someone who found Conqu3r to be unimpressive I gambled on Re1gn and ordered 6 tubs. I'm glad I did , easily #1 out of the 8 pre's I have in my stash. I'm very stim tolerant. The Latino blood turns coffee into a sedative. I laugh at a full scoop of Meso but Re1gn had me zipping like a meth head running with a stolen tv and sweating like a ho in a church. Crushed my lifts , went home and put the girlfriend to sleep and was still amped. Can't wait to see what you guys have in store in the future. Consider me a fan boy now.

I've tried two different flavors now, dragons mist and isee fury. They taste fantastic as far as supps go. You flavor guys need to relax. The flavors we have available now vs ~10 yrs ago are astronomically better. Therefore, hats off to you Olympus labs for creating some damn good flavoring in a supplement that has multiple ingredients with off flavors.
Now for the rest of the formula or the stuff that actually matters (not taste) the pump is great. Nothing mind blowing but right on par with any other well dosed pump supplement. Performance wise I liked it. I definitely had tons of energy. I started off with two scoops off the bat and this stuff is intense. And believe me, I am a stim whore with diagnosed adhd and take adderall once or twice a week. Most high stim supps are a blip on the radar for me. Re1gn was great for the gym. I may even try one scoop instead of two for a few days and see how that treats me. Here's why:
One thing I hate is yohimbine or anything yohimbine related. Now, I realize that stim x is extracted for other alkaloids but they're damn close in relation to yohimbine. I have noticed the usual sides that I get from y. Cold sweats, anxiety, goosebumps.
HOWEVER, I can safely say that these are not as bad as other straight y dosed products. I feel like this stim x extract is more closer to the alpha y alkaloids a certain physique enhancing company used to use.
I will continue to use Reign and am hoping that the "y like" sides begin to diminish, either way the sides are nowhere near other y products that I won't touch because they literally ruin my mood and day.
All in all a great product! Maybe just be a little more open about the yohimbine like aspect.

I'm jealous of everyone being able to tolerate stim-x.
I cannot handle the cold sweats and goosebumps. This stufd tweaks me out. It tastes so good though.

1 scoop I had none of the above mentioned. 2 scoops had the sweats and goosebumps hours. Good chance I was overstimmed on the 2 scoop day, potentially not just from reign

This was my observation as well. Yohimbine-like effects but not nearly as extreme and unbearable as with other products. Even 1 pill of IGNIT3 while fasted gets me feeling like death. This does not do that for me.

New member
Hearing some of these side effects makes me grateful that I don't get any negative reactions for whatever's in this or Y. Not to sound selfish but really hoping this doesn't get reformulated it's damn near perfect to me. Also hoping it's a tolerance issue so you guys can enjoy this bad boy at it's 2 scoop glory.

I think I said it in the Overload thread, but...even with these "sides" I still plan on taking this at 2 scoops. Momma ain't raise no b*tch.

Absolutely hydrate. Always helps for me especially when dealing with yohimbine, shouldn't be any different with this heavy hitting pre

One thing I noticed that surprised me... On my Garmin Vivosmart HR I usually average about 2800 calories burned each day if I work out. Since starting Re1gn, my Garmin says I'm burning 3700-3900 calories each day. I assume it's because my average heart rate has gone up significantly. Of course I don't think these devices are very accurate but still interesting.

1.25 scoops Dragon's mist in 9oz water, then ice cubes added - sitting in my freezer for about 15 min.
Going to go drink it on my drive to the gym in a few min. Will check back in within a few hours

This is good **** you guys, not a big fan of preworkouts in general but this will become a staple for me especially on squat and deadlift days. Tried Lions Blood first, flavor was good, maybe not great but it went down easily. Perfect stim level imo, pumps and focus were the best I've gotten out of a pre.

First workout with Re1gn today. 1.25 scoops Lions Blood in 20oz water. I enjoyed the taste. Mixed very easily. This is definitely a strong pre-workout. Notable thermogenic effect. I was sweating before I even got to the gym. Focus and energy were superb, and lasted for the duration of the 1:45 lift. Distinct mood uplift as well. Pump was above average, but to be honest I'd hoped for more. To be fair, I have been a a pretty severe caloric deficit (but did have a refeed yesterday), so it may not have been a totally fair assessment. Will be trying 1.5 scoops of Krusherz next time. Definitely very impressed overall, and my initial impression is that this may be my new favorite pre-workout. Strong work once again, guys.

Okay, so here are my thoughts from my first workout:
- Did 1.25 scoops of Dragon's Mist in about 9 oz water, then added about 5-6 ice cubes and stashed it in the freezer while I got ready for the gym. It was only about 15 min, but apparently that was longer than what I usually do lol. It ended up like a slushie consistency (which wasn't bad, but not what I was wanting). Drank what I could and once I got to the gym, I added a few more oz of water and swigged it down to make sure I didn't miss anything.
- Taste was good. I'll assess more once I'm able to drink it just as a liquid (lol), but it's good. I think when a lot of people are talking about flavor and being slightly critical (not complaining, but making criticisms) is because OL made mention that flavor improvement was a big thing with these new releases. We're also comparing it vs. Conquer Unleashed and the other pre's that are in rotation these days (for me, at least: Kraken, Prolific, Mesomorph, etc.). So hear me out -- at least Dragon's Mist (I'll comment on the others as I try them) is a good tasting pre-workout. There were a few subtle (VERY subtle) hints of other taste at play that take away from it, but on a 1-10, I'd put it at like an 8 -- which is very good! It just means there's potentially room for improvement (which is generally the case), but even if there isn't any, it would not deter me from buying or drinking again. Nothing to worry about here.
- I'm not sure how long exactly before it kicked, but it was pretty quick. I read the label again before dosing and kind of shook my head. Based purely on the label, I would absolutely go with 2 scoops. But I heard enough of the reviews that I didn't want to have a negative experience (and it's nice to always have room to go up). Years and years ago, I'd take things based on feel. Now I take them based on ingredients and the doses they should be taken at for maximum results. I felt it come on slowly as I was tapping my foot a bit while getting ready to hit Hammer Strength overhead presses. The gym manager caught me and was talking to me (they opened up a small supp shop inside and I've been talking to him about some products to try to get in that are less mainstream to help them out). I had to peel him away to go lift (I hadn't started yet, but the pre had been drank).
- I definitely experienced a very similar, if not exact, feeling to AlphaBurn (alpha-y) -- slight cold sweat, runny nose, etc. But like the 3mg caps; not the 8mg (which I'm curious to see if 2 scoops will feel like). When Matt released the 8's, I was using them, but man it was rough. Now, I only take those pre-basketball and I'll take a 3mg cap upon rising every morning (for the fat loss properties and also mood elevation).
- It was heavy delts/traps day for me, so I don't get insane pumps on my heavy days like I do on volume. Pump was slightly less than usual, but not substantially (not in a way that it would deter me from using it). I'll see what happens as I attempt to ramp up dosage. Vascularity, interestingly enough, was down from what it normally is, though. Normally my forearm veins are popping pretty well, but they were hiding bigtime today. Again, not something that would keep me from using this, but just taking note (let it also be known that I'm 225 lbs and only took 1.25 scoops lol).
- Energy and focus was great. I wasn't in the zone today as normal because I got off shift at 730 and normally go straight to lift, but went home so we could hit the early service at church today and then I went after. I lifted fasted as I always do (unless I have to lift in the afternoon or evening, which I don't enjoy). That being said, I still got that near tunnel vision (I imagine 2 scoops will definitely deliver) and solid energy.
I'm sure there are other things, but that's off the top of my head. I'll continue to update as I move along, but I am very impressed. The only thing I'm hesitant on is the alpha-y similar sides if I ramp up to take advantage of everything else (oh, no stim d*ck issues like 1,3 dmaa can provide, either).
Good stuff, OL. If you want someone to help down the road if you're doing any other flavor enhancements I'd be happy to assist. That said, if the other 4 flavors are on par with this, I wouldn't even worry about it (again, always striving for improvement is good, but Dragon's Mist is more than good enough and tastes better than 90% of what's on the market -- at AM, we're just lucky enough to know about that other 10% that the general public doesn't lol).

OL i feel like i need to say it...
I really think re1gn has the potential to be the Number 1 pwo... ik it has been stated that Stim X isn't Y but as someone had said earlier if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck... I know this would be something that would have to occur down the road but i want to bring up gods greatest gift.. (and worst at times) reformulations. Im sure you guys are familiar with the term "if its not broke don't fix it" and i know OL loves innovation, but new isn't always good. I can't speak for the community but I am a bit bummed that i physically cannot dose this pwo at 2 scoops to receive the effective doses. Really bummed about it. So going back to what i was talking about before (not broke dot fix) DMAA... your probably thinking old news.. but i know for me id love to see the panel the same with maybe 50mgs less caffeine, stim-x gone, and the inclusion of 65 mg (potentially a different amount) of DMAA... with that being done i really do think you could take over the pwo market... as MANY people love dmaa (can't say the same about Y) and people will still recognize all the innovation of this product (VASO-6, Kanna Ease) etc
I'm curious as well what the community thinks.... REALLY think re1gn could be the next big thing... also think a few minor tweaks could get it there.
no harm at all meant by this post, so please do not take it in an offensive way. if anything it is the opposite i think re1gn has HUGE potential

Q&A FOR RE1GN
Exactly my thought. I'm not sure if anyone complained CU was underdosed in stim. And how can someone say the thermo effect is caused by stim intolerance when the effect is still there with a single scoop. It's a shame when we are required to go beyond the typical 300-350mg of caff tolerance if we need to get the benefits of other fully dosed ingredients. I'm not going to be a fanboy and say OL has produced the greatest pre when there's still improvements to be done.

While i sympathize with your individual inability to tolerate the blend, you are in the very very very small minority. RE1GN in its current form is getting absolutely overwhelmingly positive feedback. This is not just online forum bros, but everyone.

were the testers insensitive to y? with several mentioning the effects, not sure how that went unnoticed during testing.
OL is going to back this at least until they sell down the initial run. completely understandable.
whatever stim x is, it's one strong son of a b!tch. lol
