Ready 4 War 5.0
http://bodybuilding.com/store/get/ready.jpg
Level Of Workout Intensity You Had Never Thought Possible!

This is the new formula of Ready 4 War.

The new R4W V5.0 is the balls-2-the-wall pre-wormout energizer drink mix that is guaranteed to give you the drive to destroy the gym each and every workout! R4W V5.0 provides the workout intensity that surpasses the classic Ultimate Orange™ with ephedra!

Look...I could go on and on talking a lot of mumbo-jumbo B.S. about R4W V5.0 using words like extraordinary, remarkable, bla, bla, but I won't because you guys don't want hype you want the heat! Remember Ultimate Orange™ drink mix by Dan Duchaine? Well we promise workout intensity that surpasses the original Ultimate Orange™ with ephedra. No other pre-workout energizer in powder, liquid or capsule form can guarantee that! 1/2 serving to 1 serving (1/2 scoop to 1 scoop) about 10 to 15 minutes pre-workout and its on! Forget buying $3 per bottle/serving pre-workout drinks at the gym, forget nitric oxide/energy formulas that claim to blow your mind and get you "dialed in"- R4W V5.0 is the last pre-workout energizer you will ever try. From Get Diesel Nutrition- the industry leader in pre-workout energy and thermogenic/fat burner products since 2002.

R4W V5.0 differs from other pre-workout energizers that are based on caffeine being responsible for about 90% of its effects or some analog of B-1 (thiamine) to produce an "amphetamines like" effect. R4W V5.0 provides protein, stimulants, nootropics, phosphates, magnesium malate, antioxidants vitamins and more!

R4W V5.0 not only gives you hours of energy with no crash but users report a huge increase in mood and "get off your ass and lift" motivation. R4W V5.0 is also a potent thermogenic helping to reduce bodyfat without decreasing lean muscle mass.

If you are using other supplements such as creatine products or Nitric Oxide products or not particularly training to lose body fat at this time and want to add the pre-workout energizer to help you smash plateau's then you need R4W V5.0.

Why a pre-workout energizer? Its simple if you are training to get big or burn fat you need to lift more weight and or perform cardio for a longer duration at a higher intensity level. If you are training to lose fat you need to train at a higher intensity level to accelerate fat burning when you leave the gym. Sometimes you don't have the drive and determination to get a good workout in and that's where a pre-workout energizer comes in. Some of us train early in the morning or after a hard days work and need a high octane energy boost. Instead of going threw the motions, debating if you should leave early or even go at all, get some Ready4War and train balls-to-the wall every workout!

Key Points:

* The only worth while pre-workout energizer drink mix since Ultimate Orange™
* 9 grams protein from whey isolate per serving
* Hits you in about 10-15 minutes not 30 to 45 minutes like capsules
* Great for pre-event sports or pre-competition power lifting
* Great for AM workouts or when you don't have time to wait 30 min. for a product to hit you
* 100% legal in any tested organization including the NCAA, USOC and NPC
* Can take on empty stomach or 30 minutes after a meal
* Amplifies the pumps produced from Nitric Oxide products
* Does not contain creatine or Arginine forms like A-AKG
* List the amount of caffeine per serving (no hidden proprietary blend of caffeine) like most products.
* Enhances the thermogenic (fat burning effect) of exercise
* Allows consumers to use other Nitric Oxide and creatine transport products
* Can mix with pre-workout protein or any drink mix that doesn't contain stimulants
* Great for Men and Women

Here goes all the information about R4W 5.0, but the pic that BB.com has is the old version of R4W not R4W 5.0.

[Elliptical Envy]

Here goes some info about myself just in case anyone wants to know.

Height- 5'7
Weight- 146 lbs (weighed myself this morning)
Bodyfat- 7%
Training Routine- Sunday Chest/Abs
Monday Biceps/Triceps
Tuesday Off
Wednesday Back
Thursday Delts/Traps
Friday Legs/Calves
Saturday Off
Current Diet in Marcos- 3,000 to 3,200 cals 30/40/30 P/C/F
I have tried NO-Xplode and Focus XT prior to testing R4W and I really didn't feel much of an effect from either supplement. Judging from the reviews regarding R4W this is a solid product that should give me the kick I am looking for in a pre-workout stimulant. I would say that if anyone is interested in this product read the directions, because depending on what time you workout you may have to adjust your eating so food won't hinder the absorption of the product. Seeing how this is my first official log I'm not too sure what else I should add to this log so if anyone has any suggestions feel free to post.

[Elliptical Envy]

Thanks for stopping by Chuck. The product looks bada$$ I'm going to workout in a few hours so I'll post my first update later tonight. :D

[TimoteoS]

Im subbed to this one, Im interested to see how this stacks w/ avocados ;).. Good luck man, and I hope it works well!

[storm shadow]

Good luck with the log bro. :D
I'm surprised Chuck let you stack this with avocados, IMO its gonna skew the results, but hey whatever its your log. :cool:

[Elliptical Envy]

Thanks for stopping by Tim and SS. :D Avocados will only intensify the effects of R4W so I can't wait until I break out the avocados. Maybe I can convince Chuck to add avocados in his R4W blend and watch it fly off the shelves. I just finished working out so I'll post my initial thoughts on R4W later on tonight. :cool:

[TimoteoS]

Well I have found a bulk source, mix 1/4 cup in with R4W and your set
http://emerlinginternational.com/Avocado.htm

[Elliptical Envy]

:eek: I'm in AvoHeaven :eek:

[Elliptical Envy]

I really stick to the basics everyday so I don't have to minimize my stack while on R4W 5.0. So, I'll be using....

TP.com WPI cold-filtration
TP.com Custom mix 45% egg white protein, 30% WPI cold-filtration, and 25% Micellar Casein
Xtreme Formulations Ultra Peptide
AST Multi 32x (once per day)
CVM Xtreme (discontinued usage througout log since it contains Glucuronalactone and Taurine)
Dymatize Micronized Creatine monohydrate

[Elliptical Envy]

Here goes my initial thoughts on R4W 5.0

Packaging 5/5 The bottle for R4W doesn't have any fancy designs it just looks pretty cool since I am a simple guy it fits me just fine.

Smell 5/5 When I first got the bottle I smelled it from the outside and it does have a nice grape smell to it. After opening the bottle it smelled like 1800 Silver tequila so it brought back some good memories when I used to drink :D

Mixability 4/5 Most of the powder mixed well, except for some but it wasn't a major problem.

Taste 3/5 It actually doesn't taste bad, but it doesn't taste like anything that you want to sip on all day either. I will be the first to tell you it doesn't taste like grape at all. I would say it has a green tea flavor to it which I don't mind. If this is the updated flavoring system I would hate to know what the original R4W tasted like. :cool:

Day 1

Per dosing instructions I took 1/2 scoop of R4W to access my tolerance to the formula. I felt a slightly more focused after I drank the R4W but nothing out of this world. I'll up my dosage to 1 scoop from here on out since I have a high tolerance to stims from what I believe. Today's rating of R4W gets a 3/5 since I really didn't feel too much from it already. I'll also post my workout for those who actually care as well. Today was my shoulder/trap workout day.

Shoulders

DB Military Press 30x10 40x10 40x10
DB Front Laterals 15x10 15x8 15x5
Cable side Laterals 24x10 24x10 24x10

Traps

DB Shrugs 30x10 45x10 50x10

Overall I give this workout a 3 1/2 out of 5 I really need to change my shoulder/trap routine, but I did burn out my shoulders once I finished my workout which was great. :D

[keal]

What the hell, avocados help with workouts? How come no one told me :)

I live in avocado heaven. Somebody clue me in here. Hey envythahustla, you been holding out on me! I have 'em falling all over my car every morning. I throw the good ones at the cats that sleep on my trunk.

Ah, my R4W is all old. Threw out my expired Ether powder. Going to order some of this new R4W 5.0. Will try it with avos.

will sub to this thread. Keep the details coming, envy :)

EDIT: I see ETH never tried the original version of ready4war. It tasted like aspirin. Hell of a wake-up drink. The version before 5.0 tasted O.K. But the one just before that... I loved the taste. Can't pinpoint the exact taste of it, but it was a manly kind of drink.

The reason my Diesel supplements got old on me was because I was taking a bunch of tests and I cut out all supplements, cut down my lifting to almost nothing for awhile to help out. My R4W still works, but it's gotten a little darker, and doesn't taste right. I drink it anyways.

Hey Chuck, is bb.com gonna offer a special on 2 bottles of R4W like they used to?

[Elliptical Envy]

Thanks for stopping by Keal. :)

[Bloute]

Sub for sure.

I have to follow the log of the avocados rep. :D

[Elliptical Envy]

Thanks for stopping by Bloute. I'll bring out the avocados pretty soon and see if it magnifies R4W's effects. :D

[Coulaid]

R4W+ Avo's = the best stim on the market ;)

Subbing.


Good luck CD puts out some good products!

[Elliptical Envy]

If all this avocado stuff keeps up Chuck is going to think that I really do eat those things. :D Thanks for stopping by Coulaid and Hizzie.

[Seth25]

Hey Envy good luck with the log, try mixing it with orange juice and let me know what you think about that. I personally can't tell the difference between the old and new version,tastes the same to me.

[El Pena]

Taste 3/5 It actually doesn't taste bad, but it doesn't taste like anything that you want to sip on all day either. I will be the first to tell you it doesn't taste like grape at all. I would say it has a green tea flavor to it which I don't mind. If this is the updated flavoring system I would hate to know what the original R4W tasted like. :cool:



Go buy some of that powdered aspirin, take 2 packages into an oz of water, sip it and let it sit on the tongue for a good 5 seconds to really enjoy the flavor. I think that comes pretty close to approximating the original flavor.

My brother almost puked the first time he tried the original R4W, and unlike me he wasn't willing to suck it up and down it :D, I liked that it delivered good steady energy and so that made the taste worth it, I haven't used another pre-workout product since.

[Boots]

Im subbed to this one, Im interested to see how this stacks w/ avocados ;).. Good luck man, and I hope it works well!
HAHA :D

Best of luck envy!

[Elliptical Envy]

Thanks for stopping by Seth, El Pena, and Booty. :) I am not complaining about the taste at all I actually don't mind it, but most people always want to know how something tastes before buying it. Today is an off day so I won't post any updates, but I'll stop by every now and then and see if anyone has posted any questions that I should answer. See y'all later!

[RichardRussell]

Great start to the log.
no comment on the avacadoes... ;)

I think the avocado comments have already gotten out of hand in my log anyway so thanks. As usual, thanks for stopping by Richard. :D

[Elliptical Envy]

Today I bumped up my dosage from 1/2 scoop to 1 scoop since I don't feel that I am sensitive to stimulants. MY GOD THIS STUFF IS THE BALLS!!!!!!! :D I was pretty lethargic prior to taking R4W, but let me tell you after I took this I was ready to go choke my neighbor just off g.p. (general purpose). I hope this feeling doesn't diminish throughout the course of this log but the effect for today gets a 5/5. The taste really isn't that bad at all, but once again it isn't the greatest so I'll keep it at a 3/5 even with a whole scoop added. As usual for the people who are interested I'll post my workout for the day as well.

Chest

Flat BB Bench Press 95x10 115x10 125x6
Incline DB Bench Press 30x10 35x10 40x10

Cable Crossovers (bent over) 36x10 48x10 48x10

[Hizzie]

Nice.

How does it compare to the old ephedra formula Ultimate Orange?

[Elliptical Envy]

Nice.

How does it compare to the old ephedra formula Ultimate Orange?

I wouldn't be able to compare the products since I never took Ultimate Orange (I heard that really is the balls :)). Honestly, it is a great product for energy and I have an extremely high tolerance for stims (never took ephedra before), but regarding the ephedra-free products on the market now I would say it is up there as far as results.

[Elliptical Envy]

Another good thing about R4W so far is that I haven't had a caffeine crash hours after taking it. I took it around 12 p.m. and it is 7:30 p.m. over here and I haven't crash at all. :) That is a great thing because when I crash from caffeine I usually get all depressed for the time being so I just wanted to point that out. :D

[Coulaid]

Nice job hustla!

[TinyMan]

Good luck with it envy. I'll try to check out the log as it progresses, depending on how busy I am :). Good job so far!

[Seth25]

Yeah, I knew you would love this stuff.

[Elliptical Envy]

I may try that OJ mixed with R4W some time this week Seth so I'll report back on the taste.

[Seth25]

I'm sure the taste will go from a 3 to at least a four :cool:
Another question, I saw in your workout log you've been taking Focus Xt.How do the two compare so far?

[Elliptical Envy]

This was my second day with a full scoop of R4W, and I am still happy with the results. I did notice today that I felt pretty sick because I drank some whey in milk for breakfast and my stomach didn't feel right at all today. It was a struggle to down R4W just because I was feeling pretty queasy, and the hot weather in Michigan didn't help much either. I believe from here on out I may drop my dosage to 1/2 scoop and see if I still have noticeable effects with it. From my three days on it this product is solid I haven't had a caffeine crash and I feel super relaxed from the BM and RR that R4W contains. I really felt the effects today when I wanted to quit working out due to feeling sick to the stomach, but my body just wouldn't let me quit at all. I have never tried a supplement that gave me such a clean boost of energy when I needed it (I don't have a long list of supplements either), but I powered through my sets today with an alarming intensity that I have never witnessed before. Here goes my workout for the day.

Biceps

Dumbbell Curls 30x10 30x10 35x10 35x10
Preacher Curls 20+E-Z curl bar x 10 30+E-Z curl bar x 10 30+E-Z curl bar x 8
Hammer Curls 35x4 *dropset* 25x10 30x10 30x5 (failure)
Cable Curls (I got bored and did one set) 48x10

Triceps

V-bar pushdowns 36x10 60x8 60x10
Straight Bar pushdowns 72x10 84x10 96x6
Seated Dips 105x10 120x10 135x10 <==PR

Overall, R4W scores 100/5 for effectiveness and I'll even change my score for taste 4/5. I'll try it with OJ (shout-out to Seth25 for the tip) before my next workout.

it will stay high quality, its just I must have spent about 40 hours + on flavoring for the future something I thought I would never do but hey......an effective ok tasting product doesnt cut it anymore......gotta smell good..........gotta come in pretty colors..............candy asses rule the buying market.

Chuck, you are the man because you never gave a damn about candy ass people so why start now? R4W 5.0 doesn't taste bad at all especially when you say results > taste. I swear you must have some crack put in R4W 5.0 because I don't come down off it until about 12 hours later. :D

Pink Lemonade :) even better.
Envy whats wrong with candy asses :p

Nothing at all, but I don't know about a Pink Lemonade R4W it doesn't seem like a Chuck Diesel product.

Hey man I was just messing with ya :D But if it has a better taste I'm all for it. I personally have never been big on grape but that **** is great w/oj you'll see tomorrow.Chuck, you should put that on your label for real!But for me as always effects > taste.

Don't sell out like that Chuck. You need to make a Skoal Long Cut flavored R4W.

[Seth25]

Then people will say, "I hate OJ"
LOL, can't please everyone.

[Elliptical Envy]

If the results I'm seeing now with R4W don't change at all this will be a staple for me from now on. :D I may have to test R4W under different conditions to see if it is effective. :p

Like what, sleep depravation? You know with me I can take 1 scoop of R4W now (been using it pre-workout for about 2 years staight) and I dont really feel anything, but as soon as I start my warmup sets, its on.

[Elliptical Envy]

I haven't thought about it yet but sex comes to mind lol. :D R4W 6.0 the new pre-sex energizer :)

well for most caffeine isnt good pre-sex, it increases norepi which decreases erections.

[Elliptical Envy]

well for most caffeine isnt good pre-sex, it increases norepi which decreases erections.

Guess you can't market R4W 6.0 as a pre-sex energizer then. I do think I'll take 1/2 scoop of R4W before I need to focus on reading some material and see how it does. That will probably be towards the end of my log.

[deserusan]

Today is an off day so I'll update again tomorrow. :D

Wimp....real men don'tleave the gym. ;) I suppose you drink milk too!

7 day splits are for pussies too. I do 8 day splits!!! And whole milk is for little girls, Mass Meal and nothing but!

[Elliptical Envy]

Mass Meal + Whole Milk = great :) I'm content doing my 5 day split right now considering my work schedule.

[quest-x]

Have you experienced any noticeable fatigue/crash yet?

Also, how does the energy so far compare to other energy supps you've taken?

Like you I also feel I'm somewhat tolerant to stims and would probably have to take a higher dose. So far I haven't had too much luck w/ the energy products I've tried, even with higher dosage (AMP was the last one I tried). If you really feel the energy production R4W is that great I'll probably give it a shot.

[Elliptical Envy]

Today I had noticeable stomach discomfort after taking R4W. It really made my workout terrible because I felt like I was going to throw up constantly. I did have to cut my workout short, due to heat and my stomach problems and that really pissed me off :mad:. This is the second day that I noticed some kind of issue with my stomach after taking R4W. The first day I toughed it out because it didn't bother me that much, but today it killed me since I was deadlifting. I have also noticed that I am not getting any kind of "hit" from R4W like I expected. I am not sure if it is because I am tolerant to caffeine, but I am following all the instructions on the bottle so the effects won't be diminished. Even though I am not receiving any kind of "hit" after taking R4W it does give me a steady burst of energy throughout the day, and I also feel pretty relaxed after taking it as well. As far as the effects today I'm going to have to give it a 2/5. Here goes my workout for all those who are following along.

Back

Wide-grip pull-ups 8xBW
Lat Pulldown 84x10 108x10 120x8
Barbell Row 50+bar x 10 70+bar x 10 90+bar x 10
Hammer Strength Iso High Row 90x10 140x10 140x10
Deadlift 135x10 205x6 (felt sick and left gym)

[Elliptical Envy]

Today I took Seth's advice and tried R4W in orange juice :). I give the taste a 4.5/5 I can't give it a full 5 because it does have a slight after taste, but I don't care about that. I am really noticing that I am not getting any kind of instant stimulation from R4W. Since this is a pre-workout energizer I am just not feeling any pre-workout energy. As stated in my previous update I do get a steady supply of energy and some focus, but nothing that makes me feel "balls to the wall". I really am thinking that my tolerance to stims is effecting how I am feeling with R4W. I believe most users probably would feel great after taking 1 full scoop, but I just don't feel like it amps me enough pre-workout. Today I give the effects a 2/5. I still have probably 15 or some odd servings left so I'll gauge how I feel, but I do hope I can get a day or days when I feel the true effects of R4W. For all my people out there here goes my workout. Today was supposed to be my shoulders/traps day, but I worked out at my job and they didn't have enough equipment for me to do my full workout. I improvised and just did a light chest/biceps workout for fun.

Chest

Flat BB Bench Press 115x6 115x7 125x7 125x3
Flat DB Bench Press 40x10 40x10 45x8
Pushups 1x10 1x10 1x2
DB curls 30x10 30x10
BB curls 20+bar x 10 20+bar x 10

This was a very light workout just to make up for earlier this week so don't think that is all the weight I can put up. :)

[Elliptical Envy]

Have you experienced any noticeable fatigue/crash yet?

Also, how does the energy so far compare to other energy supps you've taken?

Like you I also feel I'm somewhat tolerant to stims and would probably have to take a higher dose. So far I haven't had too much luck w/ the energy products I've tried, even with higher dosage (AMP was the last one I tried). If you really feel the energy production R4W is that great I'll probably give it a shot.

I haven't noticed any fatigue or crash since taking R4W. It does give me a steady supply of energy after taking it, which is great. Comparing R4W to the other supps I have tried I can't say which is better as of yet. I really haven't felt the true effects of R4W yet, but keep checking on the log and I'll give my full review once I am done with the tub.

R4W may taste awful to some so if you have the taste > results philosophy then it may not be for you. Just an FYI that is all. :D

[Seth25]

Thanks envy for the unbiased review,even though i disagree imo its hands down #1

Thanks envy for the unbiased review,even though i disagree imo its hands down #1

I am writing how I feel during the current day, but I haven't and won't give any final judgements on R4W until I finish the whole tub. Hopefully, by me expressing the effects for the day people don't rush to judgement as of yet. :D

Totally agree with this 100%.

I was thinking about what you posted last night & I think it more sneaks up on me, although rather quickly, than "hits" me as well. One time I was so damned focused on my workout, I'd forgotten I'd even taken it. It was a great workout to say the least.

Have you tried the new R4W 5.0 yet TE? R4W "hit" me one day in my log and I really enjoyed the feeling, yet I haven't experienced that same feeling again. I'll keep an eye out for it today when I workout in a few hours. :D

nope. Remember I was too cheap to spend the extra $5 for the grape flavor. Besides, the old version has yohimbe, which I kinda like.

I really believe the new version is for the people that couldn't stand the taste of the regular R4W. I really don't mind the taste when mixed with OJ it is pretty good actually. :D You never know when you will need that extra $5 one day lol.

If I did a blind taste test, I wouldn't be able to tell much of a difference.But I'm glad you liked the OJ.But seriously Envy, do you ever sleep, I mean you were on Thermo chat till 3 last night and posting on here by 9 :D

I took Friday and Saturday off from the gym this week due to a hectic schedule on my off days from work. I'll pick everything back up Sunday when I get back into the gym.

[TimoteoS]

Boooo slacker :D

[Elliptical Envy]

I have a lot of running around to do today, but I may try to take a 1/2 scoop of R4W and see if it keeps me up. :)

[TimoteoS]

Thats a good idea, when ever I have things to do I take some stimulants or something and it always get done quickly without and bs.

[RichardRussell]

I have a lot of running around to do today, but I may try to take a 1/2 scoop of R4W and see if it keeps me up. :)

I found it to help keep me focused or alert, but not hyped up. At least, so far that is...

Two caps of Stim-X washed down with some coffee might do it for ya, too, but you don't get the other goodies in R4W.

:( I wish. I just got into work about an hour ago and we are already in queue. This will be a LONG night.

[Immichaelski]

This stuff really ios great. I like the taste of it too. My friend through a glass out, pissed me off. After I drink a glass I workout, mow the lawn, clean the house, and then Im looking for more stuff to do. It really is awesome.

[Elliptical Envy]

I decided against the 1/2 scoop method since mixing R4W in orange juice seems to help out with the stomach discomfort so that is great. Today R4W really didn't do anything for me. I have to say that I dragged a$$ throughout my workout and I actually had a semi-crash while driving to work. I felt sluggish throughout the day, when normally I get a good 8+ hour boost of steady energy when taking R4W. I have kept my diet solid since taking R4W and haven't made any changes to supplementation, but I am not going to judge R4W 5.0 until I finish my log. Today I give the effect of R4W 1/5. I worked out my chest today so here goes my workout. My numbers really were okay I wasn't 100% feeling the workout today.

Chest

Flat BB bench press 105x10 125x10 125x10
Hammer Strength Incline Bench Press 90x10 90x8 70x10
Bent over cable crossovers 36x10 48x10 60x6
Dips (chest version) 7xBW 7xBW 6xBW

[Coulaid]

Sorry to hear about the bad day.. they happen all you can do is kick ass your next workout! Bump the intake of avo's!

[Elliptical Envy]

Just bumping the log for now. I'm still logging the product in my workout journal I'll update this tonight when I get home.

[Elliptical Envy]

First off I want to apologize for not updating my log as I usually do. I've still been keeping notes so I finally have some time to input my information to the forum. From this point on I won't rate the effect of R4W each day until I get to my final review

Once again I took a full scoop of R4W mixed with orange juice maybe 20 minutes pre-workout. I was yawning within 5 minutes of getting into the gym. When I first took R4W I never yawned at all for a LONG time. It seems like now I am still pretty lethargic even after taking it. I do get enough sleep in and haven't changed my diet at all throughout the log, so I would expect R4W to give me some energy at least while working out. I still did manage to have a decent workout even though I felt like I was exhausted. Here goes my numbers...

Biceps

Alternate Dumbbell Curls 30x10 35x10 40x5 35x6
Cable Curls 40x10 50x10 60x8
Incline Hammer Curls 30x5 *dropset* 25x5 25x10 25x7 *dropset* 20x7

Triceps

Pushdowns 50x10 60x10 60x10
Close Grip Bench Press (performed on Smith machine) 90x10 90x10 100x10

[Elliptical Envy]

Today was my off day so that meant a lot of cooking and relaxing. :cool:

[CHUCK DIESEL]

u might need to take r4w closer to 40 min. pre-workout.

[Elliptical Envy]

Another day another scoop of R4W. :D Honestly, today my diet was crap I really just didn't have any kind of an appetite at all. I did manage to eat something one hour pre-workout and then I took my usual scoop of R4W with some OJ. It really didn't hit me at all while I was working out, but I did stay up until like 4 or 5 am last night since I took R4W at 6pm. I'm happy that I at least felt some kind of effect today since my previous days I really haven't noticed much. Honestly, today just sucked in general but it happens so I won't let it get me down. I did manage to workout and here goes my numbers....

Back

Wide-grip Pull-ups 7xBW 10xBW 10xBW (I changed to an underhand grip)
Lat Pulldown 80x10 100x10 110x10
Barbell Row 95x10 115x10 125x10
Seated Row 70x10 90x10 110x10
Deadlift 135x10 185x5

I have noticed that on back day once I get to deadlifts I feel like I want to vomit. I'm not sure if it is the OJ that is sitting in my stomach, but it does make it hard to complete all three sets, which really irriates me.

[Elliptical Envy]

Normally, I would workout my Shoulders/Traps today but I am taking an off day since I have an interview I have to prepare for at work. :D I'll pick up my log on Friday with Shoulders/Traps/Legs/Calves so I can finish out the week.

[Elliptical Envy]

For all those keeping along I'm still alive I just decided to switch to weekly updates instead of daily since I am reporting the same things each day. ;)

[Elliptical Envy]

:o Last serving of R4W, so I'll have to update my log from the previous week and give my final review. That should be done later on today. :)

[Coulaid]

looks good envy.

[Elliptical Envy]

Today was another blah day with R4W. I worked my legs/calves today and had a great workout. I tried to take R4W 2 or more hours after eating my last meal to see if that would help the effects, but needless to day it didn't change anything. Here goes my workout.

Legs

Lying Leg Curls 70x12 90x10 100x10
Leg Extensions 105x10 135x12 150x12
DB Lunges 30x10 30x10 30x10
Leg Press 125x12 137.5x12 150x12
Squats 135x10 135x10 135x10

Calves

Stand Calf Raise Machine 175x12 195x10 195x10

[Elliptical Envy]

Today was an off day took R4W anyway to see how it deals with regular life tasks. :( Even with a full scoop I was still feeling pretty lethargic so that wasn't cool.

[Elliptical Envy]

Another day another scoop of R4W with OJ :) I'm almost done with the tub so I'll be writing my review soon. I worked my chest today here goes my workout.

Chest

Flat Bench Press 95x10 115x10 115x10
Decline DB Bench Press 35x10 40x10 40x10
Incline DB Bench Press 40x8

:mad: Today was a horrible day for some reason I just didn't feel working out. I was dragging ass all during my workout and it just made me want to leave the gym early. My numbers sucked today, but I won't let one day get me down.

[Elliptical Envy]

Blah Blah Blah I took R4W and blah blah blah. :D I'm really wondering what is the deal with R4W and the lack of effects it has on me. I read so much about this supplement and even in the write-up it claims to be the next Ultimate Orange. From what I have read about UO it was the $hit back in the day so R4W will have some big shoes to fill. I never tried UO, but I don't think R4W can meet those claims IMHO. I worked my arms today and had a good workout. I'm a naturally energetic guy so I pushed through my workout as usual.

Biceps

Dumbbell Curls 30x10 35x10 40x4 *dropset* 35x4 *dropset* 30x3 (failure)
Preacher Curl 20+bar x 10 30+bar x 10 30+bar x 6
Cable Curls 40x10 60x10 80x4 *dropset* 70x5
Hammer Chins 10xBW
DB Preacher Curls 25x10 (each arm)

Triceps

Dips 10xBW 10xBW 5xBW
Cable Tricep Kickbacks 30x10 40x10 45x10
Tricep Extension Machine 70x10 80x10 40x20

[Elliptical Envy]

I was super busy so I didn't have time to workout. I decided to take R4W on each of these days (full scoop) to see if I was going to have some extra energy at work. Yet again, I was feeling pretty sluggish like I never even took R4W. Yesterday was my last serving of R4W (I may have missed logging an off day when I took a serving), but I just want to say....

Thanks to Chuck Diesel for picking me to test R4W even though I am a noob. (just for my thermochat folks) Hopefully, the people that followed along enjoyed my log, but if anyone has any questions feel free to post. All that is left now is my final review of R4W 5.0.

[Elliptical Envy]

Envy's Final Review of R4W 5.0

Effectiveness 2/5

I liked R4W when I first took it. I'm not too sure what happened after the initial first week of R4W, because all my energy was down and I felt pretty lethargic shortly after taking it. I didn't change anything with my diet at all, and even when I took R4W on an off day from work 2 hours after eating food I still didn't get "hit" with anything. I do believe that this formula will work for people that are sensitive to stims, but for some people that have a high tolerance to stims this may not be a good option.

Taste 3/5 (by itself) 4/5 (with OJ)

This category seems to be a hot topic so I figured I might as well list it second. R4W doesn't taste bad at all. It isn't something that you would just crave, but then it doesn't disgust me when taking it. After Seth gave me the tip to drink it with OJ taste wasn't any kind of issue. I usually just chug down my drinks anyway, so it isn't like I had enough time to notice how it tasted after the first week of trying it out. This is going to be one of those results over taste supplements for all the people that weren't aware of that fact.

Cost 3/5

The cost factor really depends on your dosing. R4W 5.0 runs $29.99 on BB.com for 20 servings. The thing is that if you are sensitive to stims and a 1/2 scoop gives you what you need then R4W can last 40 workouts. I am pretty neutral as to a rating for this category because it really depends on how it is dosed. Taking a full scoop of R4W works out to be $1.50 per serving and a 1/2 scoop works out to be $.75 per serving, so if you can get away with 1/2 scoop then more power to you. :)

Mixability 4.5/5

R4W doesn't have any mixing issues at all. I did notice a few things that sink to the bottom of my cup after I chug most of it, but it is very minute so it shouldn't be a factor to anyone. A spoon and a cup is all you need for R4W and I like that. :D


Envy's Final Thoughts

[center]I do believe that R4W is a decent pre-workout supplement that shouldn't be overlooked. The pre-workout supplement market is oversaturated with products by big named manufacturers, so the companies that do not have a mainstream name or advertise in every magazine on the planet may not get the recognition they deserve. I would place R4W in this category. After reading all the reviews on R4W I was going to buy it anyway, but I lucked out and was able to do a sponsored log. I recommend this product for anyone looking for a pre-workout supplement to enhance their supplement stack. For those who do not like caffienated supplements then this isn't for you at all. I'll give this the thumbs up!

[Elliptical Envy]

hey, did you ever take ready4war without the orange juice, like in water?

Yes I did that for the first week or two. It was a 3/5 in water, because it didn't taste like grape but it wasn't disgusting either.

[CHUCK DIESEL]

Well that review is "ok" but I want even you stimulant junkies to be amazed so pm me in about 3 weeks so I can get you on the Ready4War 6.0 list.

Well smart ass, r4w 5.0 hits pretty good with most people. No joke every single person that have used it in my gym buy it over and over so I really dont know what the deal was with you going to less and less effect. I know with stimulant drinks there is alot that comes into play like timing, blabla, but Im not making excuses. Just pm me in about 3 weeks about the 6.0, and it will be a sour lemonade flavor for all you candy asses.

[CHUCK DIESEL]

I’m curious to see. If you can workout a few days without it or nothing in its place and see if you notice a difference.

[Elliptical Envy]

Will do Chuck and I'll post the results in a week. I actually started taking Body Octane and Clout they aren't pre-workout energizers at all.

[Seth25]

Chuck I'd love to try out 6.0 and compare it to the other two versions. I'm getting ready to run a sponsored Jungle warfare log so I'd have to see if thats ok,but thats only 4 weeks

I wasn't being a smart ass, but the stuff didn't work out for me. I still recommened the product in my final review even though I could have bashed the hell out that **** because I didn't get a lot from it but constant crashes. I'll PM you in 3 weeks I'll be logging BO/Clout (personal stash) so I won't be able to start it asap, but if I am picked I will start it afterwards if that is fine with you. Just post it in the Company Promotion section and I'll apply. I don't know why you have to make it a sour lemonade flavor as long as it works I'll be more interested in that than the flavoring.

Hey if you didnt get anything from it and constant crashes then put that in there. Keep it real bc I see alot of bs reviews and I dont want GET DIESEL products to be in that bucket.

I dont have to make it a sour lemonade, the grape flavoring doesnt come threw as it should with the ingredients and the 6.0 formula has a formulation that goes best with lemonade.

I wasnt getting pissed with you by calling you a smart ass. You made a comment about 5.0 not "hitting" which is fine if it doesnt hit for you. Actually it doesnt "hit" for a lot of people as in an extreme energy rush pre-workout unless u take it about 40 min. pre-workout, but they do notice it during the workout. Anyway, yeah I may do a 6.0 thread in about 3 weeks.

I have only used NO-Xplode and Focus XT (Focus XT really isn't marketed as a pre-workout supplement). I really didn't respond to either supplement at all. I used 2 scoops of NO-Xplode (3 scoops would give me horrible stomach problems) and 1 scoop of Focus XT.

[Elliptical Envy]

I don't even take caffeine at all. R4W was the only product with caffeine I have consumed in quite a while.

[CHUCK DIESEL]

[Elliptical Envy]

thats weird, do you take any other stimulants? Most people say they feel something on 2-3 scoops of NOXplode.

No, the only type of a "stim-like" substance I take is Glucuronolactone and that isn't anything that will give me a rush of energy either. It is in a creatine I was taking and also in Body Octane. Here is some info on it if you aren't familiar with it.

Glucuronolactone - D-Glucurono-y-lactone, or in organic chemistry nomenclature, D-glucurono-3, 6-lactone (henceforth referred to as DGL) is a natural metabolite of glucose and regulates the formation of glycogen. DGL is most likely hepatoprotective, meaning it will reduce ill effect or even improve the physical state and function of the liver, which is where the metabolism of glucose begins enzymatically. By protecting glycogen stores and their synthesis, DGL is an ergogenic aid that can help fuel both exercise/athletic performance and recovery. Some of its positive properties/benefits of DGL have been known to include acting as a stimulant, helping in memory retention, concentration and reaction time and promoting a positive mood.

I picked up some R4W for my wife and I to try. On an empty stomach, mixed with Gatoraid 1/2 hour before workout I was loving it. My wife even commented that she wouldn't be able to do the workout of not for the R4W. She even sneaks it behind my back. We work out in the mornings and if I eat anything I drag even with R4W. But on an empty stomach, it's a nice clean feel like a kid again boost.
