I got some Animal Rage this week. It's the new Animal pre-workout. Here's what I think about it.
It doesn't taste all that bad compared to other pre-workouts I've taken. It's a little like tang with a medicine kick. The first time I took it I put it down with just water. I definitely got the shivers after that. If you mix it in some juice, then you water that down a bit, you can barely taste the bitter pre-workout taste.
I only took about 3/4 of a serving. I took it about 30 minutes before the workout. It was back/tri day. I got to the gym and it was complete raw energy. I've had pre-workouts before that made my ears itch, my hands shake, and my legs tingle. I hated that kind of energy. It was like pounding an energy drink before a workout. Rage was nothing like that. It was real energy.
When I started lifting I warmed up easier, and I got on my heavy sets a lot faster. I could single arm row 115 with no problem, which last week I only could single arm row 100. My bent over row was an easy 155. Last week it was 135. Everything seemed easier.
After my workout I didn't have any crash. That was a surprise. The side of the tub says don't take more than one serving per day so I thought I'd crash hard. I didn't though.
All together it was the best pre-workout that I've tried yet. The only thing about pre workouts is they don't seem to last. They don't work after a while that is. I'll let you know if this one starts to not work as well in a month or so. I sure hope it works though!
