No increase in weights, but an increase in the duration of the 5 count negative, as I am doing solo HRT... Flavor was a definite improvement, and far easier to get down...

      I enjoyed the convenience of the pills... However... I did find it lacking, in comparison with the powder... It seemed to be a bit weaker, and took longer to kick in... I know that's partially due to breaking down the capsule...

      Machineman Rates O

      I first off want to apologize about my pahse 2 log lacking in posts. With the Holidays I was quite busy with the family and work blew up out of the blue.

      Agent O Powdered Testers:
      On a scale of 1-10 what would you rank the following effects from Agent O:
      --Overall Energy 10/10
      --Quickness of energy kicking in 10/10
      --Duration of energy 10/10 (would last for a few hours)
      --Focus 10/10
      --Intensity 10/10
      --Performance 10/10
      --Fatigue 10/10
      --Strength 10/10 (I didn't attempt any 1 RM pr's but definitely got some rep pr's)
      --Flavor/Taste 10/10

      I like both flavors of the powders. The 2nd phase was not as harsh as the first, but the 1st phase didn't really bother me. Overall, I will be waiting for this product to hit the shelves. I LOVE the feeling of killing yourself in the gym, getting done with your workout and looking around like you have more work to do! Great product and I think it will be a great fit with the other Animal products.

      Swoleberry's Agent O Review

      Although I am not completely done with my Agent O, I have used enough to compare.
      I have been using the agent o with high intensity training, and it has definitely withstood the brutal workouts.
      I don't know how many of my animal brothers out there have done H.I.T. but it is rough, the agent o I felt gave me an edge that I don't typically have with other pre-workouts. It made the high intensity even more intense.
      Overall, I would say the powdered form is better than the pill form as far as effectiveness goes. The pills are quick and convinient but the powder is absorbed quicker (due to capsule breakdown) and I feel it hits me harder than the pills. But both are very effective in helping one kick their own ass in the gym. I will be purchasing when it hits the shelf. I will still continue to log my workouts with the O I have left. God Bless.

      On a scale of 1-10 what would you rank the following effects from Agent O:

      --Focus 10
      --Intensity 10
      --Performance 10
      --Fatigue 10
      --Strength 9
      --Flavor/Taste 9
      Did you experience an increased weights on any particular exercises, any personal records? If so, please list them. Almost all of my lifts increased in reps and or weight workout.
      Has the flavor improved at all since Part 1? Yes but I don't concern myself to much with flavor I just throw it down and then attack the iron.

      -I actually did have an increase in weights, by a minimum of 15-20 pounds on almost all lifts, and I am in a calorie deficit, leaning out with the help of Rage. Strength stayed steady and actually increased. I believe Agent O helped me keep up the intensity of my workouts even being exhausted from dieting, lack of sleep because of school. Focus helped tremendously, didn't even need my music to stay focused. Also the focus maintained after my workouts into the classroom....mental alertness is a big plus with Agent O. I did however feel it was not quite as strong as the original....might just be me though. This is a product I would def recommend.

      Same as above...I did however experience a few GREAT workouts when I opened the capsules and dumped powder straight into my bcaa drink before I worked out.....WOW. Taste was unfortunate to say the least, but well worth it. When taken in capsule form I found it lacking compared to the powder, but when opened up and taken....HOLY HELL!. Still a product I would recommend.

      Thank you again for allowing me to test.

      Agent O Capsule Tester:
      On a scale of 1-10 I rank the following effects from Agent O:
      --Overall energy 9 to 10
      --Quickness of energy kicking in 10(much faster than pump)
      --Duration of energy8
      --Focus 9
      --Intensity 9
      --Performance tough question....8or9
      --Fatigue10 ( never really came down from the stuff)
      --Strength again an 8 or 9
      --Digestion of the Capsules An important category, 10

      Did I experience an increased weights on any particular exercises, any personal records? Other information that I feel is helpful in My final evaluation of Agent O.

      I was using the 5/3/1 workout so I wasn't going for any prs...However, I never neglected my accessory work and ALWAYS HIT CORE EXERCISES! I experienced little to no side effects, just the back of my hands itching a bit, but not irritating. I never crashed later in the day from this product. Also I felt as if there was a 'mood enhancer' in Agent O as well, the dark cold days haven't been getting to me using this...All in all I love the product, will use it, look forward to trying the powder as well, grape of course..lol... Is the name decided? Agent O? Agent Orange? ....I saw an ad in MD or Flex, November issue of another co that has a "something" orange product out there, might seam like you are following suit. Just my thoughts and feelings.

      Respect,

      Final Review

      Energy - 9/10

      The first day I took Agent it was like I was a train running full speed down the tracks. I slammed my packet with about 6 oz of water and headed for the gym. By the time I walked up the stairs it had fully kicked in. Throughout the testing process I found my sweet spot eating my meal 1 hr 30 minutes before taking Agent O and 20 minutes before my workout. The nice thing about Agent O compared to other energy pre-workouts was the lack of crash. I never crashed at all. I was let down slowly after I was done working out.

      Focus - 10/10

      This is Agent O's strongest attribute in my opinion. After it kicked in and picked up any weight for any exercise it was all I could think about. It really helped me work on my form and the contraction of every muscle.

      Intensity - 8/10

      Like I said my first workout was insane as far as energy and allowed me to hit the weights with the ultimate intensity. However, I did notice that this was less intense as I took it for consecutive days. The intensity did increase if I took a few days off

      Performance - 8/10

      The performance of Agent O can be attributed to the 3 above categories. I was able to train harder and put more intensity in each workout. As to be expected, I was more tired on certain days but I was able push through. I was able to increase weights on certain exercises and even set a few PRs.

      Taste - 6/10

      This is where I think Agent O needs some work. I wasn't a big fan of the flavor as I was expecting more of a sweet orange flavor, but it ended up being more sharp and bitter. I slammed it down in a couple gulps with 6 oz of water so it wasn't that big of a deal, but could use some work.

      Overall 8/10

      I would like to thank Natural Guy and Universal/Animal for giving me this opportunity to Alpha Test Agent O. I would definitely use this product when it comes out in production. The energy and intensity is high and the focus factor is spot on, but the taste needs a little work.

      Version 2:

      Energy/Focus/Intensity/Performance were the same great results. Every time I take a does of Agent O I am very impressed by the focus factor. People in the gym have noticed too saying they have never seen me so much in the zone. This is what sets Agent O apart from other pre-workouts in my opinion.

      As far as the taste of the new version, it was a vast improvement from the original. It didn't make me wanna take it down as fast a possible like before. It was much more citrussy which made it kind of refreshing. If I were to make any improvements to the final release would be to make it a tad sweeter. Do that and it will be perfect!

      Thanks for the opportunity to Alpha Test both versions of Agent O. It was an awesome experience and I love the fact that Universal incorporates its users in the creation process. If there are any other questions you have for me about the new version I would be happy to answer them.

      I just took a serving of the new bottle of "O" you guys sent me. Again i really enjoyed the energy and workout i had with it, but to me it tasted exactly the same as the first run.

      My final thoughts

      FEEDBACK...sorry to see my agent O pretty much gone...looking forward to purchasing when if finally becomes released, def. would want to try the powder...had a ton of energy focus and stamina to get me through my intense workouts..and agent O was the perfect compliment to it...i did not experience any ill side effects of O..no stomach issues or anything along those lines...very happy with it and cant wait to get it again.

      On a scale of 1-10 what would you rank the following effects from Agent O:...(Capsules)
      --Overall energy....8/10
      --Quickness of energy kicking in...7/10 i had the capsules so it took around 30 mins or so to feel the effects
      --Duration of energy.....9/10 def. lasted thru my workouts and then some
      --Focus...10/10 i was like a man on a mission in the gym...loved it
      --Intensity...10/10 zero issues here...very impressed
      --Performance...9/10..was happy with how my workouts went...something i would 100% purchase
      --Fatigue..10/10...zero fatigue..felt like i could go all day
      --Strength..9/10 the pump was great...weights gradually increased
      --Flavor/Taste..i had the pills zero taste..would have liked to sample the powder as well...but i can wait til its finally released.

      i didnt have any real pr's with O...i was using 531..i hit my marks and then some so i was def. thrilled about that..im looking forward to trying this again when its available.

      Final Thoughts

      Agent O Capsule Testers:
      On a scale of 1-10 what would you rank the following effects from Agent O:
      --Overall energy 10 dosing with 10 capsules. 6 dosing with 7.
      --Quickness of energy kicking in 6
      --Duration of energy 10
      --Focus 10
      --Intensity 8
      --Performance 8
      --Fatigue 8
      --Strength 8

      The focus from AO definitely resulted in me being able to push through those last few reps at the end of each workout. This was the best part of AO in my opinion. AOs focus and energy always lasted the entire workout after it kicked in. I always noticed a slight extra sweat, which only gave me more motivation, as well as a slight tingle in the face a few times. Good stuff. I wasn't able to compare it to the powdered form, but I have a feeling the powder offered a quicker and slightly stronger kick after reading through the logs.
      Overall, it's a solid product even if they decide to keep it in pill form. If they do, my recommendation would be to make each pill a little stronger, so dosing with 10pills isn't required. I had no ill side effects from AO at all, and can't wait for the final product to be released for purchase, as I'll be one of the first to pick it up.

      Things to post for final feedback:

      I can't say that I experienced any PR's on Agent O, but I know that my workouts were off the hook. I know that my rest inbetween sets was dramatically shortened while taking Agent O. I know that my rep scheme seemed to increase and I was always able to do a few more reps than the last time. I still really liked the heat that Agent O created, as it really seemed to get me into the workout quicker. The flavor is definitely better as the medicinal taste has not been there in Round 2.

      Agent O Capsule Testers:
      On a scale of 1-10 what would you rank the following effects from Agent O:

      9/10--Duration of energy
      10/10--Focus
      10/10--Intensity
      9/10--Performance
      10/10--Fatigue
      9/10--Strength
      Did you experience an increased weights on any particular exercises, any personal records? If so, please list them and please include any other information that you feel is helpful in your final evaluation of Agent O.

      The capsules took a lot longer to get into my system, which to me did take away from the duration of the increased energy levels. I did end up adjust my preworkout meal, and my timing and felt that the focus, intensity, and fatigue levels remained very high while taking the capsules. Overall the capsules surprised me, and I really did like the ease of just swallowing the capsules.

      I am not sure if it possible, but I would like to see Agent O in both capsules and powdered form. I really think that being able to use both would be the ideal situation for myself and would definitely keep a supply of both on hand at all times.

      Thanks again for allowing me the chance to test this out. I loved going to the gym and having people ask me about what I was taking. It was an awesome experience. Thank you!

      I prefer the capsules over the powder, due to not being able to deal with the taste, very well. Granted the capsules took a little longer to take effect, but it was worth it. My husband let me try a sample of the new and "improved" flavor, but it was still a bit much for me. Thank you for allowing me to participate in this, if it is available in capsule form, I'll be using it. If not, then there's always Kwik Energy.

      I saw increased weight across the board on my exercises. Usually I go up 2 1/2lbs-5lbs every cycle if I can but with the Agent O 2.0 I was increasing the weight by 10 or more on all the main sets and 5 or more on all my straight sets The powder seemed to take about 30 minutes pre workout and works best on a fairly empty stomach. And I would say that the taste was so much better then the first round. It tasted a lot more like a candy to me. Kinda like a lemon drop almost where you get that kick then it is a good sweet taste ending.

I did notice that for the capsule I needed to take them about 45 minutes before the workout unlike the powder which was about 30 minutes preworkout.

      Final.

      Agent O Powdered Testers:

      --Overall energy ::: 10. The energy seemed much more intense then version 1.
      --Quickness of energy kicking in::: 10. I felt effects of agent O within 5-6 minutes some days.
      --Duration of energy::: 9. The energy carried me through at least part of my workouts and tappered off after.
      --Focus::: 7. A slight increase. Some days I was in the zone, other days I noticed no focus increase.
      --Intensity::: 9. I definitly felt some intensity after consuming agent O, which lasted into the workout.
      --Performance::: 10. Agent O helped me push my self.
      --Fatigue::: 7 I did not fatigue during the lift, but in general the energy would tapper off after the workout.
      --Strength::: 8. I felt motivated to lift heavy. My normal work load felt 'light' at times.
      --Flavor/Taste::: 10. I gave this a ten becuase in my opinion the flavor/taste has improved over version 1. I enjoyed it. I would love to see it in grape or blue rasberry. I did like the citrus taste and it masked the ingredients better then version 1.
      No drastic P.R's, but was able to up the weight slightly on various exercises.
      __________________________________________________ _____________________________________________
      Agent O Capsule Testers:

      --Overall energy::: 7. The caps gave me a noticable energy increase, but nothing like the powder.
      --Quickness of energy kicking in::: 5. It took me a minimum of 20 minutes before I felt some energy.
      --Duration of energy::: 6. When the energy did hit, it lasted into the workout (at least half way)
      --Focus::: 1. No noticable focus effects for me while taking the caps.
      --Intensity::: 2. Intensity was up slightly, not as much as the powder though.
      --Performance::: 8. I was still able to experience a good energy increase and do what I needed to do in the gym.
      --Fatigue::: 3. No drastic delay in fatigue while working out.
      --Strength::: 5. Honestly, some days I just didnt feel the energy rush to push it as I did with the powder.
      No P.R's

      I was pleased with this version of Agent O. Me being someone who enjoys the powdered drinks, I felt that the powder agent O was much better then the caps. As you can see the capsules just didnt do it for me like the powder does, and when it did, the effects were minimal compared to the powder. I experienced no side effects, stomach issues, etc with the powder or caps. The taste was improved. Would I purchase and use this product in the future? ABSOLUTELY!!!

      cuse88's Final Review... (Via bb.com...)

      Review

      Taste= 9/10

      This was the biggest change in V2. The taste in V1 was brutal at first, but you slowly got used to it, in this version though the taste is actually good from the start. I compared the taste to Tang, but not as sweet. The taste has definitely shifted from being a big negative of the product to one of it's strongest points.

      Energy= 8/10

      Energy remains to be nice and smooth, which is what I have come accustom to with all of Universal/Animal's energy products. Energy is there from start to finish and really helped me to push through a couple early AM workouts.

      Focus/Intensity=9/10

      This remains to be THE strongest aspect of Agent O. The focus I experience while using it second to none. It really puts you in the zone to do work each day and with V 2.0 it was no different.

      Performance= 8/10
      Agent O definitely has helped me hit some PRs along the way and no reason V 2.0 would be any different. The pump remains to be pretty good and from the few workouts I got from Agent O 2.0 the great performance remained consistent.

      Thanks again to Universal/Animal for the opportunity to review Agent O again.

      The flavor is awesome now, I feel like you guys could make a fortune selling this stuff bottled for the fridge! Anyways I did hit a few PR's between getting on Stak and Agent O, most notably:
      Lat Pulls-140x20
      Deadlift- 250x10x5x5
      Flat Bench- 225x10x10x6
      Machine Curls- 165x10x8x4

      I didn't record which form I hit the PR's on but I can tell you I hit them with both forms of Agent O for sure. I personally enjoy the powder form with its new flavor as you get that tingly feeling that lets you know its time to kick ass. However the capsules work just fine and I would buy the end product in both forms!


      Thank you Animal & Universal for the opportunity, you have a wonderful product here and I hope I have contributed well. I just hope that this hits stores soon since I happen to know that for Christmas all I'm getting are gift cards to supplement stores and bigger t-shirts ;)

      Agent O Round 2: Review

      I will keep my review simple. I tested the Capsules and Powder. For all categories I give them both all 10's and Agent O had a fat burning effect for me, but there is a catch.

      For the capsules to kick in 110%, I would take them before my pre-workout meal while my stomach was completely empty. This made it as effective as the powder.

      I would take the powder with Pump (minus the stims) and a scoop of a particular carb product (not a Universal Product) pre-workout and the effects were felt instantly.

      *If Universal/Animal is hellbent on capsules, I recommend a rapid dissolve tablet. I personally love the pills which is why I use Animal products to begin with.

      **If ya'll are considering the first powder Animal Products, I have an intriguing idea. Remember the Big 88 Animal Pak Cans? Ya'll could pre-mix Agent O into small bottles (similar to 5 Hour Energy Bottles) and put 30 of them in the big 88 Can or however many can be put in there.
      Now imagine an Agent O commercial on television. Do ya'll remember those Got Milk Commercials during the Steroid Scandal Years of MLB baseball? Remember when a MLB athlete walked into his buddies place and he opened his fridge (they added slow animation) and instead of roids it was milk? Instead of milk yall could have the big Agent O 88 Style Can in there.
      Animal wants to be different, it could be the first Animal product kept in the fridge! That way Animal products are everywhere in the house! Ya'll could have Wrath walk into House's place, and have House open the fridge (as the commercial mentioned above) and after the product is displayed cut to a variety of clips of House at the O, Big D, Tiny and some Animal guys breaking Powerlifting records, etc.

      I know this is a bit far fetched, but I can see it happening. Just want to see Universal/Animal take over...

      ***I also have another week left of Agent O and I will continue posting. View my logs below for more information on PR's and intense workouts. Once again, thank you for allowing me to test this product. It is by far the greatest supplement I have ever experienced and wish I had enough left to last until commercial release!
