View Full Version : RAGE.
Havent seen too much chatter about Animal Rage. Anyone have interesting Rage combos? I've been doing OJ Rage + Carbo plus 10oz water. I've seen some posts about the famous 'monster' combo. Is the Rage subthread still floating around the boards here somewhere?

favorite so far has been rage + shock therapy. Mix any flavors with 8oz water. Gives me a nice kick in the ass!

On my back and leg days I've been doing Slaughtermelon, Clyde's hard lemonad ST, and some BCAA's. It is a nice kick in the ass and still don't have a crash coming back down.
Tried it today with one added scoop of Carbo Plus and liked it. Plan on doing this from now on.

Anyone try Rage + Storm?
Anyone try Rage + Storm?
I've been doing this for a little while. I usually do 1/2s Rage, 1s Storm, and 1s A7. The only reason I do the half scoop of Rage is because I train at 5:30am, and don't have anything in my system prior to lifting. The full dose of Rage destroys my insides that early.

Awesome! My Storm is arriving today in the mail, so I can't wait to check it out with Rage.
I only do stimmed pre-workouts on the weekends, since I train at 6pm during the week. So it's going to be Storm during the week, and Storm + Rage on the weekends. And I always bring my A7 to the gym. Love that stuff too!

Haven't tried it, but would likely be a great stack. Let me know how it works for you bro.
Been having fun with Shock Therapy lately, but I think I'll be banging back some Rage before legs today.

I like a scoop of Rage and 1/2 scoop Storm myself. I like it, and I feel since I take Torrent after I workout I'm good with creatine.
If I took Rage, Shock Therapy, Pump or whatever with a fully empty stomach it messes me up, so I eat a small bowl of oatmeal, a few eggs and mnilk first.

I believe the sub-thread has been rolled into the main Pack section... so if there was a Rage combo thread in that sub-section its now floatin around here.

Something I've been playing with is a shot of Rage mixed with 3-5g bcaas, always gives a really awesome pump.

You definitely don't have to combine them, I wouldn't if Rage is still doing it for you. However if you feel you need the push, I think most people just pour them together and take them at the same tim.

It is a whole lot of stimulants, likely overkill for most guys. I've done a whole scoop of Rage and a whole scoop of ST together and that is really intense. Half servings of each would be the best way to start that combo and then adjust from there.

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend that for most guys. Start off with one scoop, if you feel great there, as many guys do, stay with that. If you want more and can handle it, bump it up 1/4 dose or so from there and track your observations. For me personally, something in between 1.25 and 1.5 scoops of Rage is more than enough.
Generally, once you get in the range of 400mg or so of caffeine and up, you begin to reach a point of diminishing returns.
Peace, G
1 full scoop of Rage & 1 full scoop of Shock is a bit much for me, to be honest.
Having been on the Rage wagon since it's release over here, 1 scoop is still plenty for me.
A few months ago, I started with Shock. Having experimented, I find best results come from 1 scoop of Rage for a few weeks, before switching to 1 scoop of Shock for the same amount of time. Back to Rage after that really kicks you in the ass, then the time off from Shock provides a nice cycle to the creatine, which gives you another kick in the ass when switching back.

07-29-12, 4:08 pm
okay if i do the Rage/Shock mix ill start with half serving from each. Thanks G.
Yeah, be careful with overdoing the stims from Rage and Shock. Ideally, 1 scoop of either one should do the trick for pre-WO. Some of the more experienced guys like doing a bit more but more is not always better with stims.

yeahhh i don't like to be too wirey at the gym so ill be sure to start of slow if i do mix but i might just stay with doing each one separate.

It's what's getting me through this contest prep. Spending all day upstairs in a gym above a heated swimming pool, with no air-conditioning & getting a full-on session in at 9pm on low carbs, you want your pre-workout to be as potent as possible.
Will be interesting to see how devastating that strategy will be when I'm getting some good calories in again.

I had about 3/4ths scoop of Rage again today and about 30-40mg of 1,3 again and still didnt fell that stimy feel i thought i would have with the 1,3. maybe im not really getting the dose when i mix it with the Rage cause its such a small dose at 30mg and maybe it gets stuck on the side of the cup or something that i kix it in hahah idk cause i dont want to up the dose too much one day and have it all ingested when normally i only get half of what i put in haha. I just would like some thoughts on whoever uses powdered 1,3 how they normally ingest it? either mixed in their drink or just put on their tongue and drink or what?

Yea, I've actually never tried any sort of stimmed pre workout in capsule form. I've given a few thermo's a go but it's not the same. Caps just never caught my interest for some reason. Might have to look into them though, would you say there's any major differences between cap/powder Rage?

The intensity peak is greater and comes on faster with the Rage powder... Caps not as potent but more sustained in my experienced. I dont like a whole lotta energy and stims. Thats why I prefer the cap. Plus, one less thing to drink, haha..

Hmm definitely sounds like something I'll have to look into once I'm able to. The initial jolt of heavily stimmed pre's is what drives me towards reducing serving size as well, however in turn you also reduce anything else in the product that may be of use, which is the only thing that's bugged me about that. Do you full dose the capsule form since the feel is different?

Other may chime in here, but for me, a full Rage pack is about comparable to 1/2 to 3/4 a full scoop of Rage powder...

I have personally never done the full dose in caps. I always use a few caps if I need a pick me up at my night job. Generally 3-4 of them do the job very well, I dont get a kick in the face or sudden rush of anything. Its smooth and it helps. As far as the powder, ive always done a solid scoop. Works very well for me pre workout.

My experience with the stuff is limited (and kinda negative), so I wish I could give you more informed advice. I would say that is strong stuff. Proceed with caution.

This is all true. If you have "clean receptors" and are sensitive to stims because you don't use them much, which isn't a bad thing by any means, 1/2 scoop could be plenty.
I'm not sure any of us are all that hardcore, likely just dependent on preworkouts at this point and some may have a higher bodyweights, as such necessitating increasing doses so as to feel the desired effects.

Nah man, it isn't about you being small. There are several factors at play. Kind of like alcohol, where a person's body chemistry, experience and bodyweight factor in to what they can tolerate. Stims are very similar in that regard. What everybody can and should take differs from person to person and often can only be learned by smart trial and error.

Hey guys currently using the Apple Jacked Rage and figured ill add my two cents. Im mainly just using about 1 scoop and every so often ill drop the scoop amount down and add alittle 1,3 dimeth but i like the 1 scoop it gives me solid energy and im pretty tolerant to stims which suckks but its whatever. i'm not a big guy either. im 19 and 5'11 165lbs so stim tolerance can be very different no matter the size but i do like the one scoop and lift with Rage

Some of my best workouts have come from using about 2 scoops of ST and maybe 1/4 scoop of Rage if that. It's probably more like 1/8 but combined with the 2 scoops of ST I feel like I could workout forever.

That'd blow my face off.
In terms of people adding stuff to Rage & Shock, only thing I tend to add is a couple grams of bcaas. Very useful whilst on prep, getting some aminos in pre-workout helps me to hold on to as much muscle as possible whilst depleted.
Cos of my rotating strategy between Rage & Shock, both tubs last me ages, so I'm still on the old Shock formula. & both products have got a more than solid flavour (Blue Raz Shock, SM & OJ Rage) to beat down the taste of pure bcaa in powder form.
Effects of the pre-workout aren't 'diluted' in any way, either.

Stim tolerance is something I was able to overcome through cold turkey action just before Rage launched and man it lit me up back then. Over the past year and change I got back into the habit of taking too much stims throughout the day, but recently I got back to only using stims preworkout and while Rage never fully lost it's edge for me, it's rocking my world again.
Oh, just ordered some Apple Jacked for the first time, looking forward to trying it when it comes in.

Today I tried Pump w/out stim cap + 3/4 scoop of Rage +1/4 Scoop of Pump. It was awesome.
I've been taking Rage for a couple months now and found that taking the Rage pak 45 minutes pre-workout and then 1 scoop of powder rage 15 minutes pre-workout kick it off great and it carries me through my whole workout. I have a little higher tolerance than some because of my size though, I'm 6'7" and 285 pounds.

Post #69 is my little account of my first time taking Rage.
I could tell a difference in my lifting but I also found that my endurance level could not keep up with Rage which tells me Rage has some punch.
