Let me start off by saying this product is one hardcore pre-workout supplement in regards to its stimulant properties.

1.M.R is one of the pre-workout supplements that is in competetion with Jack3d and C4. Basically a new line of PWO's that do not use fillers and contain also DMAA. The thing with 1.M.R is it contains a really heavy dose of caffeine (300mg!) per scoop. Now I don't have the greatest tolerance to caffeine or stims in general, so that really kicked my arse.

Here is the list of ingredients :

Pre-Workout Monster Energy & Pump Matrix
--------------------------------------------
L-AAKG, Beta Alanine, L-Taurine, L-Tyrosine, NAC, Creatine Monohydrate, Caffeine Anhydrous, Guarana (30%), Yerba Mate (25%), 1,3-Dimethylamylamine, Schizandra A (9%), Niacin, Grape Seed Extract, Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), Red Wine Extract. 5,558 mg **

Taste : 8/10 - I had the Blue Raspberry flavor and it wasn't bad at all. It wasn't a flavor that I got sick of either which is kind of surprising for me, I tend to get over a flavor after about two weeks. I always find myself reordering a product but having to try a different flavor, but this one I was pretty happy with.

Value - 7/10 : I actually got it for a good price of Amazon ($24) without shipping included. So basically a months supply for something like 80 cents a day is fine for me, but at the same time Jack3d is 22 bucks and C4 was 26 bucks on the same site. It's only a matter of a couple bucks, but thats the only reason why I gave it a 7.

Effectiveness : 9/10 - Like I said earlier, I'm quite intolerant to high doses of stimulants. So I started off taking half a scoop of this stuff to get used to the high doses of caffeine and DMAA. The first day I used it I had a great workout. My pumps were pretty decent and I stayed in the gym for 90 minutes which is one of my longer sessions and I only started to get tired towards the 80min mark. Soon after a few days I bumped it up to a full scoop and thats where I made a mistake. I got way too Cracked out and I had anxiety after my workout that didn't subside till a few hours later. I hate that feeling. And to top it off my sleep was all messed up that night too. So I learned my lesson to gradually increase the dose, but it was hard because somedays I just barelly put a little more than I was supposed to and I was right back to anxietyville. I never exCEEded a full scoop for those reasons.

Overall : 8/10 - I still liked Jack3d way better because I don't get all Cracked out like I do on 1.M.R. For pumps, They were basically the same, but I started adding Nitrox II to give me those muscle-shredding pumps. I have yet to try C4, and that is next on my list.

So if you can handle stimulants like a champ, than this is right up your alley. The taste was good, the mixibillity was on par with other no-filler PWO's, and I had long lasting energy throughout my workout.

Oh and I did get more of a 'crash' on this stuff than I did on jack3d, but I think thats due to the mega dose of caffeine in it.

I just finished up my 2nd container of this product, and I love this stuff.

I first received a few samples of this stuff with some orders while I had been currently using my typical, but very effective pre-workout combo of Jack3d + Nitrox II.

On the first day I took it, I simply substituted it with Jack3d and took it with 2 Nitrox II softgels about 45 minutes before my workout. I remember it clearly: I was sitting in a public speaking class and my right knee was like a jackhammer. It was that same pre-workout euphoria like taking one for the first time. My arm pits starting sweating through my shirt. To put simply, I had never been that ready for a workout.

What surprised me the most was it's what I call a "Jack3d knockoff", meaning it is comprised of the same basic ingredients such as:
L-Arginine Alpha Ketogluterate
Beta-Alanine
Creatine Monohydrate
Caffeine
1,3 Dimethylamylamine

And the list goes on, but this does have a few more ingredients than simple-Jack (Tropic Thunder reference). However, none of these ingredients are fillers.

TASTE (10) - Not that it's a huge deal, but to some, stomaching the product to begin with matters. And this stuff is amazing. I've tried both the Lemon Lime and Fruit Punch, and both are delicious. I've always had a soft spot for Lemon Lime, it honestly tastes so good I get a little sad when I finish drinking it.

ENERGY (9): 1.M.R. scores some major points here. From currently taking Jack3d one day to the next trying this, there was a HUGE difference in how much energy I felt I had. I'm pretty naive when it comes to lifting, as I over-train. Sometimes I've lifted for 3 hours straight. Do I care? No. I'd rather be in the gym than watching TV. At the end of my workouts, muscular-strength is pretty depleted, but my alertness and energy are still super high.

PUMPS: It's hard to give this a score since I take with Nitrox II, but they are just as good as the pumps with Jack3d--mainly due to the Nitrox II.

STRENGTH (9) - Ok, this partly has to do with the increased energy, but my strength has increased a good amount since taking this.
Barbell Curls: 95lb (8) → 105lb (6)
Weighted Chins: 45lb (12) → 90lb (7)
Barbell Rows: 195lb (10) → 245lb (6)
Dips: (24) → +45lb (15)

VALUE (8) - I find this product to be reasonably affordable. I get it for about $32 for 84 servings or 28 full scoops. BodyBuilding.com has free samples of this product if you're interested.

TOLERANCE - This could be a problem for some. To begin with, they advertise "1 scoop = 3 scoops of leading competition". In short, it's concentrated similar to Jack3d, except the 3 scoops of Jack3d is the size of 1 scoop of 1.M.R. Don't worry if you don't understand.

Basically, 1 serving size is 1/3 scoop with the max being 1 scoop. I take 1 scoop which has 300mg of caffeine as I find this works best, but because I feel it's stronger, you will probably build a tolerance a lot faster than most, resulting in taking some time off stimulants.

SIDE EFFECTS - Whenever I take this, I usually have to use the little boy's room before my workout. Most pre-workouts I've taken always do this to me anyway. But in my opinion that's a good thing as I want all that poo out of me before I lift (no pun intended). This also did not upset my stomach at all.

I'm usually not one to jump from pre-workout to pre-workout, I like to find one that works and stick with it. But in this case, the change was necessary. 1.M.R. seemed to work so much better for me than Jack3d, which I had been through probably 6 or 7 tubs of.

This is how my current protocol is and I love it:

6:15pm - 1 scoop 1.M.R.
2 Nitrox II softgels

6:50pm - 7.5mg Yohimbine HCL

6:55pm - 5g Modern BCAA

7:00pm - Workout (10g Modern BCAA)

8:50pm - 7.5mg Yohimbine HCL

9:00pm - Cardio

I've been having amazing results with this combination of products in terms of body composition-- fat loss, Muscle Gain, strength, everything. I will soon do a review of Yohimbine but it's not for the faint-hearted.

If you're still jumping around trying different pre-workouts and haven't found one that works for you yet, I highly recommend 1.M.R.

1.M.R is one of the pre-workout supplements that is in competetion with Jack3d and C4. Basically a new line of PWO's that do not use fillers and contain also DMAA. The thing with 1.M.R is it contains a really heavy dose of caffeine (300mg!) per scoop. Now I don't have the greatest tolerance to caffeine or stims in general, so that really kicked my arse.

Taste : 4/10 - I had the Blue Raspberry flavor and it was pretty hard to choke down I have taken several pre-workout supplements and this is one of the worst tasting I have had.

Value - 6/10 : I paid around $30 for this supplement at my local bx. I feel this is about average for a pre-workout supplement.

Effectiveness : 7/10 - The first day I used it I had a great workout. My pumps were pretty decent and I stayed in the gym for 90 minutes which is one of my longer sessions and I only started to get tired towards the end. Soon after a few days I bumped it up to a full scoop and I feel like I got the same effect. It seems like the more you take it the more your body gets use to the large dose of caffeine. it still gives you a great workout though.

Overall : 7/10 - I still liked Jack3d and some of the other pre-workout supplements better, but I thought I would give this a try. I suggest it to some just depends on how your body reacts to it.

First off i would like to state that ive been lifting for about 4 years now and i take my workouts very seriously. I am a huge fan of pre workouts and my all time favorite is Jack3d. A buddy of mine works at nutrishop and im always able to get my hands on sample pre workouts, i decided one day to try 1.M.R. I usually dont care about the taste of pre workouts but this one wasnt pleasant, after about 10 to 20 min. after drinking it i was feeling really weird,, i felt like i was in another world trapped in a bubble and i couldnt get out,, when i was lifting the weights i was very light headed and i just wanted the feeling to go away, i have to say tho i did have alot of energy, when i got home i just felt horrible. i did not like this product and i am just gonna continue to take jack3d,, but it all comes down to this, everyone is different and some people get better results from different products, take what ever works for you.

As most users , i have tried most PWOs out there, so i was though curious try something new

Dosing :
Took 1 Scoop 10 minutes before exercise

Taste 1/10 :
aw, this stuff taste really terrible. Throw down quickly, very chemical taste.

Effects 8/10:
i've started feeling it's effect within 5 to 10 minutes.
Extreme focus, high motivation to lift and increased aggression.
I could put on few more lbs to lift and very intense sweating.
Very good pump.
Effect lasted for entire workout, and felt jacked for 3 hours.

Side Effects 8/10 :
This stuff has high amount of stims. My heartrate toward the end of the workout was really high, i could not complete my last lifts ! I felt totally overheated and sweating all over the place. With regular use those sides got a bit less extreme.
First times using it was hard to fall sleep.
I can immagine this product could be really dangerous for some people, use with caution.
Do not take at all cost if you have any cardiovascular problem or BP!
A strange side i got from it, everytime i took it: going home i really felt ***ed of and angry with the world ! No idea what ingredient could cause that in 1 mr

Final thoughts :
from 1 MR i got some extreme workouts, and next day i really felt the hard work on my muscles.
But i was not happy with the sides, too much stims, high heartrate...
I would use this product occasionally, 'cause for sure it's not healthy to take on regular base.

This is the first review I've ever done ever!!!! but i felt so strongly about this product becuase of such great results it has given me. Before I started using this product I was 145 1bs bearly able to bench 175 just two months ago. After using this product I have jumped my bench to being able to lift 245 lbs. twice. I just can't believe the positive results it has given me in such a short time. I thought for the longest when I used to use jack 3d that I was only capable of benching 175 lbs. But now I'm on my way to benching double my weight and improving rapidly. Everytime I walk into the Gym I'm stunned the amount of weight I can lift especially in such a short period of time. This is why I was that compelled to send this review

First off this is a very strong caffienated supplement and wouldnt recommend this too anyone who has a low tolerence.

I had pink lemonade witch tastes awful that is the only flavor ive tried, also had a freind who tried the pink lemonade and said the same.

This does give you a lot of energy and is effective for a long 1 or so workout. Ive never experienced a big crash with this product and was a big factor to me because i take it at 10 a.m. workout and then work a 8 hour shift 1-9:00.

I think i will take this product sometime again i like swtiching off of diffrent N.O's every month. mostly C4, Jack3d and this. witch are all great products.

i got this very cheap on gold card week i forget the exact numbers because i took this in november and december last year but i think it was 45 servings for 31 dollars or something like it.

I recomment this but if i had to pick my favorite N.O its c4 or jack3d.

PROS...
This sure is 1 hardcore PWO, I took this PWO back around 2009-2010. I has about 1 or 2 tubs of this stuff. It sure did give me INCREASED ENERGY, I think a little too much. I sure did have Extreme Focus, I would do more reps than I was able to do. I sure did see a big change in improvements and muscle endurance in the gym. Great outcome and results.

CONS...
This PWO is actually 1 of the PWO's that I liked and also hated. The reason for that I always had a bad crash most of the time when i took it, it also depends what time you take this. I sure did feel way to CRACKED out my head felt so light and felt like I was floating on clouds. I did feel a lot of tingling and crawling in my skin in the first 10-20 minutes ok taking it. 1 thing I hated was that I would always be ANGRY while I worked out and after my workout. I would take my anger out on my wife. I don't know for what reason, that's a reason why I actually stopped taking this.

OVERALL...
I would recommend this product to anyone, but for family and friends I would probably not recommend this PWO to them, unless they always want to be ANGRY.

I have tried many pre-workouts over the years. When I tried this one I was hoping to find something that was as effective as jack3d. I had built a tolerance to jack3d and needed 3-4 scoops just to get the energy that 1-2 scoops used to give me. This became more costly for me. 1mr bosted in their ads that just one scoop is all you would need.I found this product to be decent overall but not as effective as I thought. You do build a tolerance to it as well. It often made me feel way too jittery and anxious. The pump was pretty good. I wouldn't say this was a bad product. Overall it was pretty good but would not be my first choice for a preworkout.

I bought a 224 gram tub for $29.99. There are two different versions of this product now, one with 1, 3 dimethylamine and one without. It is hard to distinguish which is which and I have actually ended up accidently taking both.

This review is on the one with 1, 3.
My buddy ranted about this product for a while so I decided to give it a try. My workout was pretty good while taking 2 scoops, but the crash was pretty bad. I felt really shaky and even nauseous while finishing product.

Value 6/10
28 one scoop servings for 45 bucks isn’t great at all. Considering the fact that there isn’t much beneficial besides stimulants in the proprietary blend, I would rather buy arginine, 1, 3, and caffeine, aminos, and mix it together.

Effectiveness 7/10
I’ll give this a 7 because it did give me a good workout. Crash and jitters were pretty bad but none the less I did work out hard. The ingredient profile is a proprietary blend of 5,558 mg starting with Arginine and then Beta Alanine as the highest dosed ingredients. As you guys know 5 grams is a standard dose for Arginine alone so it is apparent that the formula is underdosed. Besides these two ingredients and Tyrosine, everything else is really just stimulants to get you energized. I think the stimulants were too strong for what is in the product, considering my crash. I wouldn’t recommend this product because there are much better pre workouts on the market that have ingredients that actually will help build muscle and not just stimulant blends.
