But I am not gonna lie, I love my stim based pre workouts.

I have tried a ton of them over the years.  Jack3d was one of my favorites when it hit the market (Then it got pulled in Canada, more info on that HERE), so I have been looking for another pre workout and I found one that I really love.

Betancourts D-Stunner.

I am not going to lecture you on how to use pre workouts but you should ALWAYS CYCLE THEM.  If you get to the point that 1 MR, Jack3d,, etc doesn’t work anymore please don’t email me with questions like “Rob 1MR doesn’t work for me anymore, what do you recommend I use?”

My answer is always this, NOTHING.  Take a break!  Your adrenals need a break, listen to your body.

Remember pre workouts are designed to make your workouts better.  If you want to build muscle, lose fat, then most of that is made in the KITCHEN.  You have to eat right.  There is NO excuse for poor nutrition except for laziness.

Give it a try and leave me your feedback below.

Well it seems that Health Canada has done it again, 1 MR Banned is now effective in Canada.

I just found this on Facebook and thought I would share it with you.

After I received SO much feedback and response from Jack3d getting Banned In Canada.

I knew 1 MR Banned was coming in time, but now it seems that Health Canada has made 1 MR Banned official.

The main culprit according to Health Canada for 1 MR Banned this time is Synephedrine & Caffeine.  I thought the problem was Dimethylamine.

I have also read that it is because of DMAA. 1 MR Banned will become a mystery like many other Supplements getting banned in Canada.

Although this hasn’t gotten much press since it was announced, probably because BPI Sports have already changed their formula to not include DMAA, Health Canada has posted an announcement on their website to the effect that 1MR by BPI Sports has been recalled nationwide. The reason for the recall was (of course) the inclusion of DMAA in the original formula, and given Health Canada’s recent position that this is a drug and not a dietary substance, the recall makes a lot of sense.

Thank you Health Canada.  More tax paying Canadians will have to be forced to buy 1 MR from the USA because of 1 MR banned in Canada.  Tax dollars spent keeping us safe, while Canadian dollars will now be spent on US companies shipping 1 MR to Canada.

This is the same company I reccomend you get Jack3d from, they have the lowest prices, awesome service and NO problems shipping to Canada.

I love my customers not being able to buy from me (and other Canadian Stores) and being forced to order from the US.

PLEASE LEAVE ME A FACEBOOK COMMENT BELOW about 1 MR Banned, thank you Health Canada!

If you are looking for a Jack3d alternative check out Decimate.

I have been using Decimate for a few weeks now and I really like this product.

Since Jack3d has been banned in Canada (no idea on this still since I heard today our local GNC is selling it), so I am rather rotted about that, but that is a different story, back to Decimate.

I really like Decimate and if you want a pre workout that wont freak you out too much like some of the others I have used and done reviews on like 1-MR

Taste : Tastes ok, not great but not bad.  I have no problem drinking it.  No after taste, easy on the stomach, no bloating etc.  Overall no issues there.

Mixing : Mixes OK, doesn’t fully dissolve but nothing to worry about, drinking it doesn’t taste bad so no issues there.

Cost : Really good cost effective product. As an Jack3d alternative the cost is still low which is awesome.  It’s a very affordable pre-workout.

Results : Really like this product.  Good focus & mood, doesn’t make me too freaked out or paranoid like some pre workouts.  Good strength, energy, focus, mood, and the crash isn’t bad at all.  Just be sure like most pre workouts with caffeine and geranium that you watch for blood sugar crash.  I just trained and I haven’t eaten for an hour and I can feel my vision going off a bit, so be sure to get some Protein + Sugar within 30 minutes after training.

Jack3d In Canada

So I would love to tell you about how I can sell you  Jack3d in Canada, but it seems that Health Canada won’t let me do that.

For some strange reason 90% of online retailers are allowed to sell Jack3d in Canada, however I am not allowed.  Go figure.

To check my rant on the banning of Jack3d in Canada check out my rant “Jack3d Banned In Canada“.

I inquired about this to find out and the only information they could tell me was they were following up on an complaint.  When I asked if they were checking other online supplement companies in Canada, they informed me of “NO”, but they would if I wanted to make a

Go figure. Not my style thanks.

What I don’t get about the whole banning of Jack3d in Canada is that it’s impossible to find ANY information on it!

I am not allowed to sell Jack3d in Canada, yet I can’t seem to find where it says I can’t and exactly why.

It really makes me mad that supplements get banned for no sound reason, yet I can walk into any Shoppers Drug Mart or Pharmacy and you can find a thousand items more dangerous than jack3d.  Hell I can even walk into any corner store and buy cigarettes, beer and many other terrible unhealthy things.  But I guess without having huge taxes there is no benefit to our government.

There have been NO deaths associated with 1,3-Dimethylamylamine (the main ingredient in Jack3d in Canada), nor can I find ANY information about severe health problems.  It really makes me mad that something can be banned for no reason at all yet I can find far worse things for me at any corner store or grocery store.

Anyways that is my rant.

If you are looking to order Jack3d In Canada I suggest you check out www.BuyJack3d.com for the best prices and service.

Let’s hope Jack3d In Canada becomes legal again sometime soon!

My name is Rob King, I own a small (yet very popular) Supplement Store in St. John’s Newfoundland Canada.

A few months ago I received a letter from our government saying that 1 MR In Canada was banned (along with a ton of other Supplements, be sure to read my blog post on Jack3d Banned In Canada for more info).

Long story short 1 MR In Canada has been banned for a few reasons, yet I can’t seem to find ANY info on Health Canada’s website, and I hear that some vendors are still selling it some aren’t.

UPDATE : I also hear that there is a “Crappy” Canadian Version of 1 Mfsin Canada hitting the shelfs.  This is NOT the original 1 MR.

Back to my rant, even though I am not a big fan of 1 MR I (read my review on 1 MR)  still like having the ability to make the CHOICE and use what supplements and not be FORCED to order 1 MR from the USA and get it shipped to Canada.  Hence hurting my business in Canada and countless other small business owners that are like me.

This was posted by a reader DudeManBro (thanks for this Dude)

“1,3 dimethylamilamine is derived from the geranium plant–probably the strongest legal stimulant in the usa (no longer in canada, as you’ve vented about). The reason why it’s getting a bad rap is because it’s a super vaso-constrictor. So, very counterintuatively, instead of dilating the blood vessels sothat you have more blood flow into the muscle, more oxygenation, and more nutrient transportation, it’s doing the complete opposite. 1,3 dimethyl, by constricting the blood vessels, is limiting the amount of blood that flows into the muscles. Furthermore, the constricting effects coupled with the elevated heart rate raise the blood pressure through the rough, hence heart attacks and strokes. The bottom line is that yes it’s a strong stimulant that will give a ton of energy and thermogenic effects, but as far as building and repairing muscle is concerned, it is not helping whatsoever.”

So this is the main reason that 1 MR in Canada is no longer “Legal” 1,3 dimethylamilamine.

1,3 dimethylamilamine (which I love) is also contained in Jackl3d, Oxyelite Pro, and numerous other pre workout and fat burning supplements. 1,3 dimethylamilamine in Canada is soon going to be completed outlawed or restricted which really pisses me off.  It is going the route of Ephedrine getting banned/restricted and all that did was cause us to order from the USA and drive price UP.

Bottom Line is IF you are looking to order 1 MR In Canada I have a place that I order from that ships to Canada (unlike BodyBuilding.com etc.) for cheap.

Check it out ——> 1 MR Shipped To Canada for CHEAP.

Please leave me some info below I would love a comment from you regarding 1 MR in Canada.

Animal Rage In Canada

If you are looking for Animal Rage in Canada I suggest you order from my company Heavyweights.

Here is the product info on Animal Rage In Canada.

Animal Rage. A shot of adrenaline, a surge of raw power, a current of electricity running from head to toe. Animal Rage allows you to stalk the weights, to dominate the gym, to make the competition run and hide. Taken just before you wreak havoc in the weight room, Animal Rage is more than a mere preworkout supplement, it is a bodybuilder’s secret weapon, an ergogenic wrecking ball ready to be swung. You are predator, the iron your prey—make it fear your power, let it bear witness to the strength of Animal Rage.

This potent Animal Rage formula is comprised of four potent and powerful complexes, in the spirit of all Animal products before it, delivering a comprehensive and precision measured dose of energy, focus and performance nutrients. With each and every robust encapsulated pack you toss back or ass kicking shot of Rage you throw down, you’re ensured a rush of ergogenic voltage straight to the head featuring the following…

A Quick Energy Complex that gets into your system fast and furious, amping you up for the session ahead. You feel it and you’re ready to train in minutes. Animal Rage provides a Sustained Energy Complex because not only do you need quick energy to wake you up for the training session, you need to be able to sustain your energy levels while training. The key herbal adaptogens in the Sustained Energy Complex help ensure your energy is maximized and sustained throughout the duration of your workout. Animal Rage also contains a potent Endurance & Performance Complex. These are two important facets of a top tier training program. Animal Rage ensures that you are able to endure and maintain your strength throughout the rigors of a hard training session–It’s not just about training for hours on end; it’s about performing at a high level during your entire session. That’s where Animal Rage comes in. And last but not least is the Focus and Intensity Complex consisting of well-known nootropics and important neuromodulating boosting ingredients. When you’re focused and training intensely, this is where ya tap into even greater results. The top athletes in the world know how to consistently tap into this mindset, a mindset that allows them to separate themselves from their competition.

With Animal Rage, you’re always just a shot or pack away from flipping the switch and letting loose on the weights… Energy. Focus. Intensity. Insanity… That’s what you get with each potent dose of Animal Rage. The desire, the dedication, the hunger, the balls… You bring that to the table. And make sure you bring your “A game” too.  Animal Rage will take care of the rest.

Animal Rage. As a hardcore trainer, you need to take advantage of each and every workout. You don’t have time for half hearted workouts. If you’re not maximizing it in the gym, you’re giving half effort to your training and that ain’t getting you closer to your physique goals. And it doesn’t matter how great your diet is because to put first things first, business needs to get done in the gym. If you want to progress in this game, every rep counts. Every set counts. Every workout counts. The most hard-training, hardcore, elite bodybuilders demand optimum performance from every training session. To get the most out of the workout, one must tap into their inner rage. Flipping the switch, as we call it, taking common emotions like anger and frustration and turning them into potent productivity in the weight pit. Digging deep into the dark reservoir within and finding the fury necessary to punish the unyielding weights necessary to change a mere man into something more. This transformation, and the approach to the tools necessary to bring it about, are not only a byproduct of the hallmarks of success consistency, tenacity and hard work, but also of the ability for a good man, an upstanding member of society, to tap into his own shadow self, and to find his inner rage.

Rob’s Review : Animal Rage is a VERY Strong pre workout.  Be warned that if you are going to use a pre workout that Animal Rage is VERY STRONG.

I compare Animal Rage to BPI’s 1MR in terms of strength, if not stronger.  Don’t take Animal Rage if you are sensitive to caffeine or pre workouts as it’s really strong.

Personally I found Animal Rage too strong for my liking (and I love stimulant products), but if you want something STRONG then Animal Rage will give you a crazy pre workout kick.

I wouldn’t advise Animal Rage before any sports that involve increased heart rate (IE Sprinting, MMA, Rowing, etc).

I know that Animal Rage In Canada right now is legal, but I am sure that this will change in no time with how Health Canada has become with pre workouts.  If you are looking to get Animal Rage in Canada I suggest you order it now because more than likely it will be gone soon enough.

If you chose to use Animal Rage please post your feedback below, I would love to hear from you.

Order Animal Rage in Canada

Hey Rob King here with a review of my newest pre workout I have been testing called “Code Red” from MuscleMeds.

I actually didn’t give this product much of a chance going in because I generally hate big supplement companies promoted by Pros that are on bust, in this case Kai Greene (which I am  not a big fan of his physique anyways).

But I have to say I was surprised by this product and it was really awesome!

Mixing : This product mixes really easily.  I know a lot of people are super fussy about things mixing well.  Personally I don’t care if I am swallowing chunks of powder, if it gives me a good workout I will take it!  however this product was very easy mixing and not a problem to drink at all.

Results : GREAT Results!  Good mood, energy, focus, strength and pumps were awesome!  Much better than I expected.  It didn’t give me the dizzies or crash that 1MR did which I was happy with, but I didn’t get that crazy sharp focus I got from Jack3d.  But still overall awesome.

Side Effects : Very little.  Well, compared to other products.  Still had trouble sleeping at night, but thats a given when you take pre workouts at 9 at night . I didn’t have the bad drop off I got from 1 MR, but also didn’t get that crazy good feeling I get from Jack3d.  But I did find the pumps and energy to be great so well worth it!

Rating : I am going to go with a 8 out of 10.  Great product, good bang for the buck, awesome pumps and strength, no bad drop off, easy on the stomach and no dizziness or nauseousness.

Rob’s Review - I recommend MuscleMeds Code Red FOR SURE SURE!  Was much better than I expected and gotta say I really liked it!  Going to try Carnivore for sure now!

I am in the process of revising my Sports Supplement Review Guide (Get your free copy by going HERE).

The Supplement market is SO crazy and there are so many products that I wanted to open this up to you to get your feedback and tell me what some of your favourite supplements are.

It can be your current stack, something you have used in the past, or maybe just a Supplement you really loved and had great feedback from.

For example if I had to pick say 5 of my Top Supplements it would be something like this

1. XTEND – BCAA’s from Scivation.  I am soon going to try USP labs new BCAA and give that a go
2. Myofusion Protein powder – Gaspari Nutriton. (even though recently I have been addicted to Vasolate vanilla MRP…)
3. Nutra Sea Fish Oil – Ascenta Health
4. Jack3d or Ephedrine.  Yes I like my stimulant based products.  I can’t help it
5. Surge from Biotest (just really enjoy this during my workout when I am not watching sugars)

This is just off the top of my head.  After owning Heavyweights for 10 years I have tried a good few supplements .

Some other products that look really promising

• Carnivore (Kinda  a throwback to the old school Beef & Liver proteins)
• RX 6 (because BPI’s line seems damn intense)
• Modern BCAA’s from USP labs, big fan of their company
• Complex 5 from Rivalus.  REALLY good feedback on the Rivalus line.
• Hemo Rage Ultra (Nutrex)
• T-UP (Nutrex)
• Pink Magic (USP labs)
• GP3 Powder (From Advanced Genetics)

So give me your feedback on some of your favourite products so I can add them to my Supplement Review Guide V .2.0.

I look forward to hearing from you!

I am going to share with you some things that have been working really well with me that may benefit you and your training.

The last couple of months I have been getting back to my own training harder and making some great gains.  I am getting over a 2nd bicep tear that happened a few months ago, but it seems that the injury no longer bothers me as much as it did.

I have been running a awesome Supplement Stack that has really helped me a ton in terms of Strength, Size & Recovery.  I am not BodyBuilding anymore but I want to keep as much muscle as I can because I worked damn hard for years to build it!

AM before I eat
1 Scoop Piracetam
1 Scoop D Aspartic Acid (this is new and seems really promising)
2 Scoops Jack3d
(Note this combined tastes like UTTER CRAP because of the Aspartic Acid so I use very little water and chug it)
Anavite Multi Vitamin

30 Pre Workout
1 Scoop Piracetam
1 Scoop D Aspartic Acid (this is new and seems really promosing)
2 Scoops Jack3d

During My Workout
20g of Xtend with water or Crystal Light

Post Workout
Size On V 2 (This rocks, the taste is amazing, the orginal version was brutal on the stomach)
15g of Xtend
2-3 handfuls of Frozen berries
(Al this blended up with crushed ice and a banana with it)
Anavite Multi Vitamin

I have been using this combo for about 4-5 weeks now, going to run it for another 2 then try another pre and post workout combo.  Bullnox has been recommended to me and a few others so I am curious to give something new a try.

If you have any feedback on pre and post workouts you liked post em up!  I’d love to hear from you.
