Razor 8 Pre-Workout Review
Taste
Key Lime Cherry – This was different. I have never had a Key Lime Cherry, but I am not the biggest key lime fan, but it was not real dense in Key Lime flavor. I got a good 50/50 ratio between both flavors as I got more Cherry on the aftertaste, and a burst of Key Lime right off the bat. I would have to try this a few more times, this was just so unique it threw me off guard! A+ for creativity.
Mixability
Used 1 sample pack (1 scoop) in 8oz of water. No debree or floaties, this mixed very fine. The powder was very fine so I knew this would mix very easy. 0 complains here at all!
Formula
5g Creatine (Adequate Dose) between Mono and HCL
425mg BA (Under dosed)
Arginine HCL does not do much with much research backing it even at 500mg
Agmatine at 365mg is still on the low side, 500mg is usually a minimum dose for aiding in pumps some products use up to 1-1.5g
Caffeine is 272mg which is a bit on the high side (for some) like myself who likes around 200, 300 is sometimes pushing it
Di-Caffeine Malate (24g) raising caffeine a touch more
Yohimbine at 4.5mg is a touch high for a beginner dose (2.5mg Is usually a start) and an ingredient not found often in pre-workouts,
Green Tea Extract at 10mg
Naringin (Grapefruit Extract) at 4.5mg
Pretty decent formula, heavy stim without question, a little under dosed as far as pump product goes (Agmatine) and performance (BA). Not a big fan of arginine as its major pump feature in this product (3 forms). Would rather see Glycerol or GMS.
Workout Reaction
Energy was strong out of the gate taking it on a fasted stomach in the AM for 5 AM Training. I consume this 10 minutes prior to my Chest workout and then stretched on the TRX Bands a touch to get warmed up
I noticed the Yohimbine right off the bat since I train fasted and the heavy stim of nearly 300mg right into my system and was present for the entire workout. This is not a light pre-workout without question. I felt a bit of jitters as 300mg is a lot for myself, but overall pretty steady and streaming energy.
Was not noticing much of a pump, I do not get much out of arginine, or a low dose of Agmatine to be honest, so that was a little bit of a letdown on my end. I am glad to see the adequate dose of creatine, but did not get much performance wise out of this with a low dose of BA in the formula. The main thing noted was key energy, this hits hard and stays streaming for you for at least 90-120 minutes and even on my drive home.
Overall a decent formula, just that some of those ingredients in the pump blend will be underdosed in the end. 0 Complains on energy as I do not take stims often, so when i do they blow me out of the water.

I took my Key Lime Cherry Razor8 sample this morning. Here's how it all shook out. I got about 7.5 hours of sleep. If I get enough sleep, I enjoy lifting first thing because you get maximal effects from the stims. I felt pretty good on the amount of sleep I got. 6:25am took my sample. 6:40 25g whey, 1/4 cup raisins. I felt the energy kick in within 10 minutes. At 7:10, I started a 45 minute tabata-styled leg workout.
Taste/Mixability - First off, it smelled very pleasant, just like you might think Key Lime Cherry might smell. Mixed in 5oz water, taste was enjoyable, nothing outstanding, maybe a little tart. I vigorously shook it for 10 seconds. It was somewhat gritty for me. There was definitely some residue left over which needed another ounce of water to soak up.
Energy - Depending on all of the stim goodies in a PWO, my caffeine sweet spot is 200-300mg. I thought I might be blown away by Razor8 considering the profile. I can get cracked out on Yohimbine. Surprisingly, I wasn't slapped in the face with energy. I'd say I was appropriately stimulated. I wouldn't necessarily say it was smooth, I was a tad jittery, nothing negative. Plenty of energy to get me through a fast paced, hard workout. I didn't notice much of a thermo effect. I may have been sweating a little more than usual. Unless, I'm cutting I don't enjoy the thermo effect. I thought I'd be sweating more with the Yohimbine. The endurance/recovery was very good. I never felt like "Oh sh!+, here comes another set". I was able to attack each set with the same intensity and aggression.
Focus - For some reason, the focus seemed to shine later in the workout. I didn't feel like King Kong right off the bat. But found myself really embracing the burn about halfway through. I had a killer finisher which I made my b!+ch. Towards the end, I had above average euphoria.
Performance - It's hard to gauge with a tabata workout since you're going for time and not rep count, but I was pleased with my performance. I felt explosive attacking the weights.
Pump - It was leg day. My upper body felt swole from deadlifts and squats. I didn't feel like my thighs were ever going to blow up. So the pump for me was above average.
Post workout - I would have had plenty of energy to keep going and do some HIIT cardio which I do a lot of times on non-leg days. I never experienced any crash. I never felt crack out, came down nicely. I didn't not experience any ill side effects. Eight hours later and I still feel very alert.
Overall, I'll give Razor8 an 8. I would have liked to experience that "feel good" euphoria right off the bat especially since one of it's major claims is focus. And I'm not sure about the small dosage of Beta-Alanine - 425mg. I normally split my daily 3.2g BA dose into pre and post workout servings. So I would need to add extra. Great amount of streaming energy! Kudos for a non-prop blend!

Well for once I actually quite liked this PW.
Mixabilty 9 - 10 Mixed it in shaker with ball gone in a few blasts. Slight residue at bottom but went down all same!
Taste 3-10 No Thankyou. Didn't like this flavour and yea it does taste a bit like a melted ice pop.
Focus 9 - 10 For me excellent focus! Literally tore through my sets I felt 'well on the ball' so to say. Determined knew what I was doing and GOT it done! I really enjoyed my workout.
Energy 8 - 10 Felt really energised didn't really start to tire till end but then felt like I could have done more? Powered through sets. Nice!
Pumps 7-10 Mild pump but quite enjoyable felt fuller better than other PW's
Overall 9-10 I don't usually get on with PW's but quite liked this one it was different and Yes I actually would probably buy it in not too distant future? I normally end up quite spaced out off other PW's but not off this. It fits me quite well I enjoyed the experience and it was worth the wait ( ship to UK). Overall really good!!

Here we go
Serving size: 1
Bodypart: arms
Dosage: 1 serving 30 minutes preworkout, relatively empty stomach
Flavor: lemon lime
Ratings:
Mixability: 10/10
Flavor: 6.5/10: I would give this a slightly above average, not bad to drink but not something your going to salivate over. It tastes similar to all max carbion lemon lime flavoring. Probably the same flavoring system. Overall it ranks middle of the pack but no one drinks preworkouts for enjoyment its about the workout.
Pump: 8.5/10 good pump, good vascularity gives you exactly what you need
Energy: 9.5/10 this will get you going, no doubt about that. If you havent had the yohimbine experience, this will give it to you!. Get ready to feel like your ingesting rocket fuel
Focus: 8/10 good, def above average.
Overall: 8/10 good energy, lasts a long time, no noticeable crash, good pump, good workout. Would buy again !!!!!

Well, I went into my Monday chest workout pretty tired after a long weekend. Used some razor8 key lime cherry and it definitely woke me up!
First of all, lets discuss the flavor. It tasted pretty similar to a fruit punch type flavor. It definitely had a lot more cherry flavor than key lime flavor. I didn't particularly like it. Seemed too strong to me, and I generally don't like cherry/fruit punch flavored things. However, the flavor on its own will wake you up a little just because of how strong and tart it is. I give the flavor a 4/10.
As far as mixability goes, it mixed perfectly, but thats kind of to be expected in most supplements. Mixability gets a 10/10.
Energy - I'm pretty stim tolerant, so I didn't really notice much of an energy boost per say, but as I said it definitely woke me up. I give the energy factor a 7/10.
Pump - Other people said the pump it gave them wasn't so good, but I actually thought it was really good. I definitely noticed an increase in pump compared to training without it. My friend even remarked that I must have been hitting chest when I was leaving because of how pumped up my chest was.
Overall training experience with razor8 - I didn't see any magical strength gains from taking razor8, but it definitely helped wake me up for my workout. I also enjoyed the pump I got from it.
Overall review- I give it a 7/10. I would definitely recommend it to a friend. I can also see myself using it some time in the future, but definitely in a different flavor.

Let me preface this review with the following notice: I took a 2 month hiatus from caffeine before taking Razor8. The week before I did have a few cups of coffee (during the whole week, not per day) and took half a dose of Hemo Rage the day before I took Razor8. I was going to tkae half the package, but decided that wouldn't be fair to Allmax.
Taste: I thought it was going to be more sour than it was. I really enjoyed the taste. The sweet of the cherry balanced well with the sour of the lime. Very nice change of pace from the way overdone Fruit Punch flavors out there. 9/10
Mixability: Mixed very well and easy. Poured it in a glass of water and swirled it with a spoon a couple of times and viola! No chunks. 10/10
Focus: I really enjoyed the focus from Razor8. Kept my on task the whole time I was at the gym. 9/10
Energy: Ok. Like I said earlier. I hadn't had any caffeine in two months. I had to remind myself to blink I had so much energy. Finishing a 1 1/2 hour GVT workout and wanted to stay and do some more. Unfortunately, I had to go to work. I did have a little bit of a crash a couple hours later, but not as bad as I thought I would. 9/10
Pump: I took this on chest and back day so I could really get a pump going. Unfortunately, I didn't get as much pump from Razor8 as I was expecting. I did get a decent pump, but not a skin tearing, worry about stretch marks, kind of pump. 6/10
Overall, I think Razor8 is an above average pre-workout. Maybe if Razor8 is stacked with Hemanovol, this would prove to be a killer PWO. I am highly discounting my, probably, over-reaction to the caffeine in giving this an 8/10.
Thanks for the chance to give this a review, Allmax!

Taste 10/10 As with all Allmax products the taste was excellent.I mixed it with 8 oz of water and no clumps left in it.The taste reminded me of a refreshing drink on a hot summer day.
I have to say that Allmax has one of the best flavoring of products in the supplement industry.
Energy/Focus 8/10 The initial energy was great but the crash was not so great.I had no jittery feelings at all.
Pumps 9/10 I did high rep Chest/Shoulders today and the muscle fullness/pumps are pronounced and very noticeable.
Over All Rating I would give this a solid 8.5/10
Comments
I agree with others comments and would like to see arginine removed from Razor8 and more agmatine added to it.

I bought my tub of razor8 back a few months ago at the fit expo. The first few days using it where great, I had great energy throughout my workout and amazing pumps, but I noticed after taking it for about a month and a half the vascularity is a lot better and my pumps are even more intense.
I was disappointed after I finished the first of because I couldn't find it anywhere..until I went to the Olympia, I was lucky to get a really good deal on this and hvol, which is also an amazing product.

Glad that you're enjoying the effects of Razor8! This has a strong stimulant complex, with both caffeine and yohimbine for energy and focus. There are several ingredients to enhance NO production, but the increased vascularity over time will be enhanced with further use due to the effects of nitrosigine. I'd love to hear your feedback on HVOL as well. If you are looking for either product, feel free to reach out to me and I can help.

I love this stuff - I don't think I'll ever switch - I'm Canadian - and happy to support a Canadian company. With 120 servings - you can't go wrong with this stuff - I payed 32$ CAD - I got one of each flavor and they're both awesome - I can't say enough good things about this product! Sure you might not get a crazy pump - but I'm not in that crew that will spend 40$ for 10 servings for a pump lol.
