Warmup: Shoveled the 6" of snow out of The Gym parking lot
Squats: barx10, 135x12, 225x10, 315x10, 405x2*, 225x10, 185x12,30
SLDL: 135x12, 185x10, 235x8
Seated Calf raises: a lot
Walking DB lunge: w/45lb DB's x75ft, w/65's x50ft
*my buddy spotting me said that they were solid reps, but I think the first was shallow.
Feeling strong today, everything seemed to be firing on all cylinders.
Rage XL was spot on yet again, my buddy and I both took a shot and proceeded to tear it up... this is why I love Rage, when you need a kick in the ass (like AFTER shoveling snow for an hour) it brings you up to your A-game.
Opposite of me yesterday. I hit legs, then went home and shoveled.

Nice workout and that's impressive after shoveling first!
On Sunday, I hit up Rage XL 15 min before the gym and while working out we had a crazy snow storm--8 inches in like 2 hours. Went home and cleaned everything up while still in my gym shorts and feeling good from Rage XL, lol.

Thanks J! Rage XL is a winner for sure, while the energy kick might not be as drastic out of the gate like the old version, the effects seem to be better in my opinion, the pump is a nice touch. Plus the lack of a crash makes this something I am going to keep on hand for those days where Shock Therapy just ain't gonna cut it!

out of time..got the shoulders nice and warm for sure.
Just about out of Rage XL. I have got to say that I am a fan of this stuff. While it is not going to be my primary pre-workout, it will be a boot-in-the-ass for those days where Shock Therapy just isn't going to cut it.

I made a deal with the wife...she preps my food, I'll do the shoveling.

Due to the storm coming in this weekend to the Northeast, I get to deadlift in the a.m. and then shovel later that day. Putting in work, Taxation style.
This time of year makes me want to move out to Cali, then I see your post on how cold it is over there. Hawaii here I come!

haha.... well most people don't even realize that California runs all the way up here!
Ok, I am out of Rage XL... I want to thank Animal/Universal for the chance to give this stuff a run.
I am going to get a final review together and post it up in a few days.

First of all, thank you guys for letting me try this stuff!
Flavor: 9/10- The grape flavor is spot on, I like it a lot, and if I didn't get to try Mango it would have rated 10/10
Focus: The Rage XL really helped me dive into what I was doung, fatigue wasn't even an issue untill I was done with my set, I just wanted to keep "picking stuff up and putting it down."
Energy: Again, the energy levels were just about perfect for me, It wasn't enough to get me all jittery, but I could feel it hit, and then I wanted to rip the wheels off of things. There eas no crash afterwards, just like the old Rage, which is nice because when my workout is done, my day is still far from done.
Pump: While it isn't as good as my "ol' standby" Shock Therapy, the addition is a HUGE plus, in my opinion, to Rage. because, damnit, I like getting a good pump! haha
In closing: this is a keeper for sure. a good solid product, that, like all Universal/Animal products, meets or exceedes my expectations.
Should the old formula still hang around? I think the orange should still be in production, just because those who want a pre-workout WITHOUT creatine should have something, after all Rage was the only product I knew of that was strictly "kick-your-teeth-in" energy, and very little else.
Thanks Again:
Dan

Good final write up on Rage XL, DANO! I too love the pump I get from XL (although I prefer the pump from Animal Pump). I also agree that the original range should still be in production for those who don't want creatine but still wish to use an Animal/Universal pre-workout product.
You'd rather miss a training session than a meal. Shit, diet is that important to a bodybuilder. It's an area that doesn't allow for any bad days or mistakes. You ready to make the sacrifice? - AnimalPak.com
