It’s a new day and I got a new pre-workout supplement for you to chow down on. First off, hats off to the marketing team. I’m not really sure why, but the name “one more rep” just sticks. The packaging is also pretty sexy to boot, so when it comes to visual stimulation… this stuff will get you excited in your pants (or panties).

Before going further, let’s hear the official word from the company

Product Details:

There are other so called strong and concentrated pre-workout formulas. They say 1 scoop per serving on the panel yet tell you to take 3 scoops. How is that strong? How is that concentrated?

This is real simple. One scoop of 1.M.R equals one serving. No tricks. One scoop. One insane workout! Now that is what I call EXTRA STRENGTH!

Go ahead make everyone stare. 1.M.R™ is what separates you from everyone else. It’s what helps make your muscles stronger, veins wider, and reps shorter. Boost your energy and maybe, just maybe you have what it takes. This is an energy driven formula.

Hmm, not very explanatory in the sales copy are they? Let’s move on.

First Impressions:

So, we established that the visuals are all great. Let’s get down to the ingredients and see what’s up. First thing you need to know is that the formula used for the tablets is slightly different than the formula used for the powder. The major difference in ingredients being caffeine… while 1 serving of the tablets (4) contains 250mg caffeine, the powder contains a whopping 300mg. The next ingredient is Beta Alanine, which the powder has but the tablets don’t. And after that we have L-Leucine, which the tablets have but the powder doesn’t.

From the looks of it, this thing is shaping up to be a slight mishap. Beta-A is an important ingredient… one which I think every pre-workout formula should have. Not only is its effects noticeable as fuck, but it actually works. So I’m not sure how they expect to provide a similar experience with the tablets, considering it’s marketed under the same name.Then there is L-Leucine, a BCAA that is known to be the one which is primarily responsible for muscle protein synthesis. How can you leave that out of the powder? Absurdity.

What I did like about both versions of this product is how they decided to use creatine monohydrate. We obviously don’t know how much since its a proprietary formula (and my guess is not much) but hell, its better than CEE that’s for damn sure.

Real World Results:

I’ll start off with the tablets, which were pretty big. So if you can’t handle big pills, it’s going to be a bitch to throw down all 4 – don’t say I didn’t warn your ass when you’re choking to death. After taking the four tablets, I waited and waited and after about half an hour, felt a lil something-something. It wasn’t enough to blow me away, but it wasn’t too shabby either. The energy was comparable to a can of Redbull and it got me through my late night workout just fine. But the product provided no extra pumps or any other aspects of insanity that are marketed. Satisfactory at best.

Few days later, I needed a kick in the ass after a long and tiring day, which meant it was the perfect opportunity to test out the powder… and so I did. I didn’t have a chance to try out the Blue Raspberry flavour since all I had was Lemon Lime. Still, in terms of taste it was pretty good for a supplement. The best way to describe it would be a glass of slightly over-sweetened lemon aid. Not bad, not bad at all.

In terms of mix-ability, I was highly surprised. I poured the powder in my shaker cup along with water and ice cubes and the shit just turned into a nice little cocktail. No real clumps or any of that bullshit to report. Two thumbs up so far… but what about the performance?

Well, Russell Peters would call it “Mind blasting”, but I call it “fantabulous”. Truth be told though, were you really that surprised? I mean comon. It’s got 300mg of caffeine coupled with Beta-A, which has known to deliver in the past. So if anyone was expecting anything less than absolute fireworks, they are out of their fucking minds. Either that or their tolerance is at a ridiculous level.

Let me just say that if you’re a beginner, intermediate or even consider yourself slightly advanced, take half a serving 30 mins before a workout and the other half during the workout. Or just take half a serving and be done with it. I took an entire serving at 11pm and didn’t hit the sack till 4:30am, and I’ve been testing supplements for a while so I’m not exactly caffeine sensitive. The effects actually dwindled by about 4am, after which some green tea and 200mg of magnesium helped me doze off. If you take this in the morning… shit will be bonkers.

The workout also went great. I personally felt no real jitters, but I can see a noob taking this and jumping of walls and shit, so assess your tolerance levels. And as for the crash, well yes there is a slight crash. Its not enough to drop you, but you’ll definitely feel the effect dying down.

Conclusion:

So now I’m in a bit of a fucked up situation. We have one product that is splintered off into two different delivery methods. One delivery method works, and the other is nothing special… so what the hell do I rate this? Should I average out the two scores or not. Hmm.

After pondering on this during my morning dump, I realized that I really wouldn’t put my money down for the tablets, so I’ll give them separate ratings. But first, let’s address the cost issue. At $44.99, you get 30 servings with the tablets ($1.50/serving) and 28 servings with the powder ($1.60/serving). So it’s not super expensive, but it’s not that cheap either. However, if you look around you can get the powder for as little as $1.25/serving. Check the link at the end of the review.

So, back to the ratings. I give the tablets 2 out of 5 stars, but the highlight of this review was the powdered format, which gets a solid 3.5/5 stars. Besides the original MuscleSpeed, I think this is the highest rating I’ve given for a pre-workout formula… mainly because it’s crazy. And hey, if you’re not crazy, you can take only half a serving and make the stuff last twice as long. How can you argue with that?

Cheers.
