      Agent O Powdered Testers:
      On a scale of 1-10 what would you rank the following effects from Agent O:
      --Overall energy - 9/10
      --Quickness of energy kicking in - 9/10
      --Duration of energy - 7/10
      --Focus - 8/10
      --Intensity - 7/10
      --Performance - 8/10
      --Fatigue - 8/10
      --Strength - 8/10
      --Flavor/Taste - 8/10
      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. Has the flavor improved at all since Part 1? Flavor was better than the Part 1 trial with it being stronger as to no taste what made up the powder. I would go with the Part 2 flavor if moving forward with the powder version

      Agent O Capsule Testers:
      On a scale of 1-10 what would you rank the following effects from Agent O:
      --Overall energy - 7/10
      --Quickness of energy kicking in - 5/10
      --Duration of energy - 8/10
      --Focus - 7/10
      --Intensity - 7/10
      --Performance - 7/10
      --Fatigue - 8/10
      --Strength - 8/10

      Overall with having the pleasure of doing both the powder and pill version of the product, my vote would go to the powder version. Due to how this product is intended to be used, the powder kicks in quicker and lasts the whole session. Granted the pills are more convenient to take but don't kick in quick enough and I found they didn't kick in till halfway through the session. To me the taste wasn't the deciding factor although Phase II tasted a hell of a lot better, it was the energy kick for me that was the deciding factor.

      My vote is split on this one, but if I was going to buy a finished product it would be the powder.

      Final Review

      Agent O Capsule Testers
      On a scale of 1-10 what would you rank the following effects from Agent O:
      --Overall energy 6/10
      --Quickness of energy kicking in 5/10
      --Duration of energy 5/10
      --Focus 8/10
      --Intensity 8/10
      --Performance 7/10
      --Fatigue 8/10
      --Strength 6/10
      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.

      As I was just getting back into heavy lifting I couldn't tell if there were any PR's as everyday is a new PR right now. I felt like this stuff was great at staving off soreness and Fatigue during the workout and after. I'm a few workouts into no Agent O and I can tell a 60-70% less drive or Focus that I had while on it.

      I could feel it once it kicked in but it took about 30 + minutes to get any effects from it and I can't say it was always consistent. That could have been based on the amount of water I took with it or possibly how I scheduled my food, not really sure because I tried several different combinations. I will say that 30-45 minutes before the gym, taking it on an empty stomach and with about 12-16 oz of water seemed to get the most out of it for me.

      As I said in my Log, I did not get very much of an energy kick from it. I handle stims pretty well, and I'm not even sure Agent O has any, but I did not get any kind of burst of energy from it. I could not compare it to the kind of kick I get from pump or ST, or even Kwik Energy. Maybe it's not supposed to but if it is, it was very weak in the pill form.

      Overall great product that kept me focused and able to recover for the next session.

      My strength did increase slightly along with some endurance as well. I did make a few PR's on O, Flat barbell bench- 275x6, Leg press- 1250, barbell curls- 135x6
      I never had the chance to test the powder form but the pills did their job. After the second day though I felt that they lost some of their effectiveness. By dumping 4 pills in my preworkout shake I felt it much quicker and much more potent.

      I was honestly not real impressed with the capsules.. I felt it took too long and was absorbed to slowly. There was no sudden intense focus or intensity as most people had with the powder. But... I did take about half of the doses I had out of the capsules and poured into a small bottle of water. Taste was terrible but you could basically put 9's and 10's on every catagory above. This is an AWESOME product and I will definately buy it when it becomes available. But, only as a powder. Having it as a capsule would be more convienent, but it kills the effects too much.
      Maybe this could be put in those little sticks that seem to be becoming so popular. This would make it convienent to throw in your gym bag and to take, but still keep the potency of the powder.

      Thanks again to Universal / Animal for letting me be a tester.

      Didn't experience any records or anything like that nature. I tried taking the capsules regularly and dumping them into my water bottle and slamming it down, both of which produced the same results, which weren't really anything.

      I think this is an issue with the caps, because Rob gave me a packet of the powder at an ABC, and that's when I felt the focus and intensity that everyone had been talking about, and ultimately static held 855, and deadlifted 495x4, both of which were either weight or rep PRs.

      Thanks again for the opportunity to try this product; I feel that the powder would be a more viable choice to eventually release to the market.

      Herc's Final Feedback

      The Powder

      Overall Energy: In short, through the roof. I had a great feeling of energy from beginning to end of training with no crash from excessive stims................9.5/10

      Quickness of energy kicking in: Within 15-20 minutes I was feeling the effects. I love the initial kick in teeth from Agent O ..................10/10

      Duration of Energy: I felt the effects long after I leave the gym then tapers off - no crash! .................10/10

      Focus: Better than ever. I've never used a supplement that made me focus on my sets and reps like Agent O................9.5/10

      Intensity: Driven. Determined. I felt compelled and ready to lift more weight and more reps while on Agent O. When I was finished with a set, an exercise, or even the training session, I wanted more. I literally craved the torture I put myself through in the gym................10/10

      Fatigue: What fatigue? Even with a crappy day at work my mood and outlook completely changed when I took Agent O................10/10

      Strength: Better than ever. I think with the combination of increased focus and intensity I was able to lift more weight per training session................9.8/10

      Personal Records: I set a deadlift PR at my meet on October 30 (during my first run with Agent O). I pulled 610 to set a WABDL FL State record for 242 Class 1 men. During Round 2, I set PRs on bench (410) and 3-board presses (455), as well as other rep PRs.

      Flavor/Taste: The flavor of Agent O during the first round was certainly not the best I've ever had. Results always outweigh flavor to me, though. However, Animal had made some definite improvements to the flavor for the 2nd round. Using just a small amount of water to mix it in made the flavor a bit overwhelming. With the improved flavor, 8-10oz water seemed to be perfect................7/10


      The Capsules

      Overall Energy: Not bad. I definitely felt more energy with the powder. I also had to take more than the recommended 7 pills to achieve the effects of the powder...............7/10

      Quickness of energy kicking in: The energy gradually kicked in and gradually tapered off. Still no crash, but I like the kick from the powder much better ..................6.5/10

      Duration of Energy: I still felt the effects long after I leave the gym then tapers off - no crash! .................10/10

      Focus: Better than ever. I've never used a supplement that made me focus on my sets and reps like Agent O................9.5/10

      Intensity: Decent. I saved the powdered form for my heavy days because I knew the pill form did not affect me as much................8.8/10

      Fatigue: The capsule form still gave a great boost and kept on working throughout my training sessions. ................9.8/10

      Strength: After setting PRs and lifting more weight for more reps, I'd say Agent O helps................9.8/10



      Agent O is some great stuff. I like the convenience of the capsules, but the powder (regardless of flavor) seemed to work better for me. The recommended 7 capsules were not enough. I am by no means a stim junkie, but 10-11 pills worked better. I know Animal is known for the 'packs' of pills and/or capsules, but I think Agent O needs to be sold as a tub of powder with a scoop. I am convinced that Agent O is the best pre-training supplement out there.

      Thanks again for the opportunity to test such an awesome product.

      Thanks for the feedback so far. In case anyone has missed posting up their final feedback, you have until Friday of next week to get it in. We'll be looking at the data and make some decisions in the new year about the direction of Agent O.

      Thanks for the info. I was just about to ask where Agent O was heading. Hey, maybe a new product for a new year.

      widdlewade44's second take with Agent O II...

      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 Agent O II powder kicked in within 5 mins and kept going.
      --Duration of energy 10/10 I could get up to two solid hours after taking Agnet O II.
      --Focus 10/10 Laser focus and mental clarity.
      --Intensity 10/10 Super intensity.
      --Performance 10/10 Mixes up extremely well and Agent O II delivers.
      --Fatigue 0/10 No fatigue with Agnet O II; this is an improvement from Agent O.
      --Strength 10/10 I have a torn rotator cuff and my overall strength is still improving.
      --Flavor/Taste 10/10 Whatever you did for Agent O II is PERFECT.
      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. Has the flavor improved at all since Part 1? Flavor has improved greatly! PRs: with first powdered dose of Agent O II I had a plate per side on the leg press for 6 PPS, 20 reps. Deadlift: 345lbs for 6 reps (raw) [previous best 2 reps w/345lbs]. Squat; 325 for 7 reps [previous best 6 reps] Deadlift: 325lbs for 10 reps (raw) [previous best 6 reps w/325lbs]. Leg Press: Superset, 7 PPS for 15 reps then 6 PPS for 15 reps. [previous best with 7 PPS was 10 reps]. It is unknown how far I could go at 100%...

      Agent O Capsule 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 9/10 The Agent O II caps kicked in between 10-20 mins.
      --Duration of energy 10/10 2 solid hours with the caps too.
      --Focus 10/10
      --Intensity 10/10 Super intensity!
      --Performance 10/10 Loved the caps both, the convenience and appearance.
      --Fatigue 0/10 No fatigue with Agent O II
      --Strength 10/10 Through the roof!
      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. Seated leg curl: 175lbs for 18 reps [previous best was 15 reps]. Seated leg curl: 175lbs for 20 reps. Squat 305lbs for 10 reps [previous best was 8 reps]. Barbell row: 135lbs for 25 reps x 3 sets [previous best 135lbs for 15 reps]. Agent O II is beyond AWESOME! You all took something great and improved it, thank you! I highly recommend both versions and it certainly gets the widdlewade44 stamp of approval & endorsement.

      Thank you so much for the chance to be an Alpha Tester (again), peace.

      "The bench press, parallel squat, deadlift, and standing press have been the staples of any strong man's repertoire. Those who ignore these lifts are generally the people who suck at them. If you get good at those, you'll get good at other stuff, as they have such a huge carryover." -Jim Wendler
