OL RE1GN Review:
Alright ya’ll, the highly anticipated RE1GN is now in my hands and I gotta say the first impression is an interesting one for me, but overall pretty darn great. 2 scoops down the shoot. I’ll break it down based on the following: Taste, Mixability, Energy, Endurance, Pump, Focus, Other.
Taste – 2.5/5:
So for the taste I was really hoping for something delicious as the video I watched of the OL guys sampling each one made it sound like they are awesome. I have only tried one flavor, so I am not sure how the others are. I will review the taste of IseeFury tomorrow. The taste was pretty bland. I had ‘Mountain Dew Baja Blast’ in my mind prior to drinking it, due to the color and also because that’s what one of the OL guys said. After taking my first sip, I wasn’t a big fan. However, looking back it wasn’t difficult to drink at all, and went down really smooth. For me, it just didn’t have the flavor profile I was looking for. It was one bland taste the whole way through. Chug and shrug.
Mixability – 5/5:
Absolutely no clumping or floaty issues. It did ‘foam’ for a second on the top, just as TR1UMPH does for me, but quickly goes away. I think triumph’s is due to the PA though, which is not present here. Super smooth and easy to drink.
Energy – 5/5:
Wow. Honestly, I haven’t had this sort of energy in a while. It’s a different sort of energy than something like Mesomorph. Meso hits be quick and gives me a euphoric feeling, that eventually dwindles and makes me feel pretty ‘meh’. RE1GN makes me feel literally insane. The energy, within 30 seconds of it hitting my belly, was already there. It just kept ramping up and ramping up as the workout went on. I felt like puking during my warm up the energy was so present. My palms were sweaty within a few minutes at most, body got a little bit warmer, and the focus was real. I couldn’t wait to get to the gym. It was as antsy as I have been in a long time! I took 2 scoops at 5pm (I know, silly to take them that late; but I don’t have to be up early or anything and I had to try it at full scoop) and am still feeling it at 9:30pm.
Endurance – 5/5:
My sets were awesome today. I trained legs and did extra reps with every movement. I even added weight to a lot of my workout just because my usual weights were feeling lighter than normal. It was one of my better workouts in a while.
Pump – 5/5:
My legs were so swollen today that I was having trouble even bending my knees. At times, the pump was so real I was getting a little freaked out because my legs weren’t working properly. After drop-setting quads and hams, I had a difficult time walking. I am so so excited to give this a try on chest/arms day
Focus – 5/5:
I was in the zone from the get go, including my drive to the gym. Music sounded better, body had goosebumps, and I couldn’t wait to get there. Thankfully the drive is short otherwise I may have lost it, ha. When I got there, I chatted for a minute or two with a few buddies I know, and then jumped right into my workout. From there, it was game over, I was in the zone and crushing sets. I did spend some time on AM inbetween sets, but I typically do. Typing replies was difficult as my hands felt heavy and a little fidgety; but even so, I could feel the focus even in the messages I was typing.
Other – 3/5:
I know it doesn’t make sense rating other, but this is my take on psychological feeling. Just overall on how I felt taking it and what I didn’t like. This won’t show in the overall, but I figured I’d grade it anyways. 2 scoops is too much for me, coming from someone who uses a lot of stims. I have no problems taking 2 scoops of Radiate, minus sweating a little, but RE1GN made me sweat just as much. I *think* there is some Yohimbe or some extract of it in here. I got cold sweats mid sets, goosebumps all workout long. When I really started to think it had Yohimbe in it, is when I was taking a hot shower afterwards and still had goosebumps / felt cold. Four and a half hours later and I am still feeling energy coming on. That is personally just a little too much for me. I think 1 scoop to 1.5 scoops will be my sweet spot. I will have to play around with it and find out.
Overall – 4.6/5:
It’s everything they said it was, but I am still curious if they will announce what Stim-X is. It surpassed some expectations that I had, but really fell for me in the taste department. I am hoping giving the tub a nice shake will change that up, or the other flavors are superior. Not a supplement that taste will me from taking due to taste by any means though. The benefits far outweigh that for me. Good job OL.
