Just updated it with my initial thoughts on stacking Rage with Animal Pump.

Nice man, this stuff sounds pretty awesome. Do you know if it's safe for people with high blood pressure though? (I have hypertension but currently take medication for it.)

I'm no doctor but I'm pretty certain if I had high blood pressure, I wouldn't mess with Rage, the caffeine levels are through the roof, and it has a tooooon of other stimulants in it that could get your heart racing too fast. There's also beta-alanine, which prevents the buildup of lactic acid, allowing for greater muscular endurance. I'm not sure if that's bad for high blood pressure or not, but I would wonder because it produces a burning/tingling sensation on the skin that's pretty strong. Some people who don't have much of a caffeine tolerance (I have a HUGE tolerance and it still gets me going) end up having to use half a scoop of Rage because it makes them sick, and their heart feels like it's gonna pound itself out of their chest.
You could always look up the ingredient list, there's a lot of sh1t in it (good sh1t lol)

Short answer: I wouldn't if I were you without checking with a doctor.

As for Animal Pump, it's mostly a creatine/nitric oxide blend, with a red stim pill. I would imagine Pump would be just fine if you removed the red pill before use.

I can't stress enough though, if you have high blood pressure you should check with a doctor before using Rage because it's pretty potent.




Edit: Oh yeah I almost forgot to say it does affect everyone a little differently. I gave one friend a sample of Rage before we worked out, and we both were in the zone (we're more mellow dudes) and focusing hardcore. Another friend I gave a sample to, was almost literally bouncing off the walls because he didn't know what to do with himself haha. But same story in the gym, he also got into a good zone of focus.

You will also sweat a lot more than usual, so drinking lots of water is obviously important.

I also forgot, Rage has an assload of vitamin B12. 16667% of your daily value. For a comparison, 5 hr energy has 8333%. B12 is a natural energy booster. And Pump has a ton of other vasodilators (increases blood flow to muscles I think) too....my veins are still pumped and visible from my first ever pack (pack of 9 pills) that I took today.

Just note that nitric oxide boosters have never actually been proven to work, if anything nitric oxide doesn't work as advertised

 

[DanZy]

doesn't work at what?

Well they're meant to boost your nitric oxide levels but don't. Thus you're paying a premium for a pointless supp. Mind you, the stims will definitely work

 

[TheStig]

Yeah I've heard that NO is bogus, but I'm interested in the crapload of other sh1t pump has that definitely works

 

[DanZy]

Probably some of the other stims

 

[DanZy]

Impossible

How so? None of the ingredients that supposedly boost NO actually do, thus it has to be something else causing the pump. There are other stims which are vasodilators.

 

[DanZy]

It's not one study, there's multiple. None of them increase NO at all. Arginine is not converted to NO when consumed orally.

OP, thanks for the review. I may give it a try.
