This flavor of the caffeine-free version of Ragnarok I was fortunate enough to try was Ballistic Blue Raz. It smelled like sour blue candy and tasted just as good. Very easy to mix, no clumping or residue left over. This product can be purchased for around $35, and has approximately 40 servings per tub.

I followed the recommend guidline for ingestion and consumed the whole 15g serving 30min before my heavy lifting workout (chest/tri's). I felt an energy hit after about 35min. It wasn't really that strong in the beginning but it was definitely noticeable. 30min into my workout I topped out. When compared to the caffeinated version, the non-caffeine version had considerably less "kick" and had a shorter length of effect.

I also found that once I topped out I came down very quickly. I was ready to go home with a third of my workout still to go. I was not expecting a huge jolt for the whole workout so I was not dissapointed in any way.

I would really like this for my cardio runs as I find it would give me the mental boost I need without shocking my mind and body. I would also recommend this for those who are cycling off of stimulants or are caffeine sensitive. For heavy lifting, however, I would go with the caffeinated version.

Furthermore, I would recommend the Blue Razz to those of you looking for a subtle edge to keep you motivated. It will give you the energy you need without any crash or side-effects. If you're looking for a brain "jolt" then try the caffeinated version.

Point Highlights:

-Great taste, easy to mix
-Competitively priced, includes full serving of creatine
-Energy/focus is noticeable and clean, vascularity is to par with caffeinated version
-Duration of effect my be lacking for those performing prolonged heavy lifting
-Recommended for those who are cycling of stimulants or are doing cardio training
-No crash/side effects

I gave this product a shot and stacked it with Applied Nutriceuticals RPM which you can also find the review from me on this site. My recommended daily dose, according to the package, is 2 tablets per day. I would take 1 in the morning and 1 at night to get the full daily recommended dose. The pills are blue in color and are easy to swallow.

Initially I felt very little if anything in the likes of muscular or endurance improvements. However, I know that it takes multiple doses to get the desired effect. Upon my 3rd dose on began to notice that I was able to push harder for longer while doing hard lifts. I felt an increase in recovery in between sets. I was ready to go faster and felt less drained as I would go through my workout. I was able to increase most of my sets by about 5lb. I was very pleased with this.

Furthermore, I noticed a gradual increase in my libido. It was weird because this is not why I took the product, but it was a very nice BONUS.

VERDICT:
Although it took a few days for the effect to kick in I did feel the increase in strength and recovery time that is stated on the label. It is my belief that stacking this with RPM proves to be very effective. However, my overall strength gains were not as explosive as I would have liked. Furthermore, priced in the mid 30's range for 110 caps with a 2 pills a day dose would leave me with 55 servings. The downside is that if stacked with RPM the Drive outlasts RPM by at least 24 doses. I therefore will need another bottle of RPM to complete the full stack. Overall I am happy with the results I have achieved with this product but will likely refrain from restarting my stack for the time being.

Got my hands on this product recently and I though I'd give it a try. I took a 1 week break from using any other stimulants before taking my first dose of RPM. The pills are red colored and average in size. They go down easily and I did not have any trouble swallowing them.

My initial dose was 3 pills 40min before my workout. I took them on an empty stomach and did NOT take any other stimulants. 30min after the initial dose I felt a slight boost in energy
and focus. I then proceeded to ingest 2 more pill directly before my first lifting set.

15min into WO: I feel a modest rush of energy. No jitters, good amount of focus. I continue to lift hard. Intensity begins to increase.

30min into WO: I have plateaued in regards to intensity. I feel a good energy rush, sustained focus. I remain motivated to continue lifting. The energy is very "clean" and I am enjoying it thus far.

45min into WO: No changes to report. I continue to lift with the increase or decrease in energy since last posted at the 30min mark

60min into WO: I am now starting to feel a gradual "come-down". I am loosing energy and no longer feel the same "rush" intensity.

75min into WO: I have completed my cardio and am pretty tired. I still feel some residual effects of the RPM but I am ready to crash.

One thing I should include is that for the first 15min I was perspiring very heavily. I sweat a lot on my own but the volume of liquid coming from my pours had definitely increased. The effect eventually wore of around the 45min mark. I felt warm throughout the workout, plausibly due to the thermogenic effect. I was not uncomfortable at all with this and made me feel like I was working harder that usual.

Verdict:
The kick of RPM was noticeable and gave the required intensity I was looking for. I think 5 pills is the right dose for me as recommended by the directions on the product. I would like to have felt more of a rush in intensity, but the energy provided was sufficient.
Overall I would recommend this product to others. I have used it on cardio only days and find that the boost provided while training is far better suited for me during these days.

I stacked this with DRIVE and will provide a review as well.

RAGNAROK - WORRIOR MELON

When I first twisted off the cap and smelled the aroma of Ragnarok (Warrior Melon) I was think it would be a winner. I was right. The stuff smells like cotton candy and bubble gum. It mixes very easily, 8oz of H20, light shake, and the powder is totally gone.

So lets get down to business:

TASTE:
This stuff tastes even better then it smells. If I had not known it was a pre-WO supplement I would never be able to tell the difference between this and a really good grocery store melon juice. All I can say is "WOW!", in the taste department you will not be dissappointed.

ENERGY/PUMP:
Ragnarok also shines in this department as it provided me with a huge "jolt" 20min after ingestion. I was literally flying in the locker room as I was changing before my WO. Great focus and sustainable energy with the product. PUMPS were fantastic as well, massive vascularity, and pronounced skin tension in my forearms and biceps. It was awesome having a very pumped feel the entire workout. I was able to keep focused and maintain a "Zoned-In" feeling. Muscle endurance and stamina were also highly increased.

DURATION: My workout lasted 78min from start to finish. When the stimulation kicked in it maintained me at a very steady and appropriate level for the duration of my heavy lifts. I did feel a steady decline in energy towards the beginning of my ABS workout. I wasn't crashing but the effects were definitely wearing off.

PRICE: Ragnarok is competitively priced and offers approximately 40 servings for a price ranging in the mid $30's.

Side-effects:
I cannot convey any side-effects are negatives with this product. I functioned as advertised and did NOT fall short off my expectations. I experienced no crash or jittery feelings. It was just one hell of a ride.

VERDICT: This is a product I will religiously use in my WO supplementation regimen. I was blow away by taste, energy, and pump factors. I am very pleased I got my hands on this and I recommend you do the same. This is the caffeinated{stim} version. I will also post the non-caffinated (Blue Razz) review so look for it.

Sex: Male
Age: 24
Weight: 190/195 lbs
Supplement duration: 2weeks and counting

This being my first NO volumizing product I did a lot of research so that I would get a quality product for a reasonable price. Well, I am happy to report that I made the right decision. I bought a 2.31lb (1050gr) tub online for under $30.

Initial Reaction: I used one scoop 30min before the workout mixed with 10oz of H20. I went to the gym feeling really energized and in a focused state of mind. This supplement delivered a immediate PUMP reaction once I started to hit the weights. Very noticeable reduction in recovery time between sets. I was jacked for the entire workout and felt like I was busting out of my own skin. I did not feel edgy or nervous and had no symptomatic nausea of GI upset.

2 Weeks Later: Still getting the workouts of my life. However, I have reduced my serving size to about 1/2 to 3/4 scoop, as I found that I was to ZONED-IN while working out. I like having an energy edge but I do not want to feel like the hulk busting out of a shirt all the time. The adjusted sering for me gives me just the right amount of encouragement while maintaining a desired PUMP. No symptoms to report or other undesired effects to report.

The Breakdown:
*Value* - Very reasonably priced at under $30 for approximately 50 servings with a 1 scoop
serving.
*Taste* - I purchased the grape flavor and it tastes surprisingly good, not to sugary.
Tip: If you mix this with some Lemon-lime Gatorade powder, it literally tastes like a Jolly-Rancher.....mmmmmm.
*Mixability* - Put it in, give it a little shake, and it is gone. No residue on the bottom or clumping. Dissolves evenly into the H20 and no free floaters are visible.
*Energy* - Lasted the entire workout and progressively diminished as I began my cool-down sessions. I did not experience any "crashes" post workout.

Overall Verdict: For all the above mentioned reasons I would definitely recommend this product for those looking for a HUGE energy boost while training. I have no symptoms to report thus far and I have not built up a tolerance. I hope your experience is as positive as mine has been thus far.

Therefore this product deserves: 9 REPS out of 10!

Thanx for reading and happy PUMPING!.

I stack this with a micronized Creatine supplement and I have seen great result.
