- Ho hey, guys, what's going on?
It's Massive Joes Raw review, and I'm coming to you
from MassiveJoes.com, awesome!
Raw review for the viewers at home today
on an all new pre-workout supplement
from an all new Australian supplement company
from my good friends down at Empire Performance Nutrition.
It is, of course, Trilogy in the house!
Let's get straight into it, show you guys
exactly what's in it, tell you exactly what it's gonna do,
that nutritional information panel ain't gon' get it done.
We're about to go balls deep in this (laughing)
Empire Performance Nutrition Trilogy.
Luckily, got ourselves a big ass
nutritional information panel for the viewers at home.
Dillup, go ahead and put that panel up on the screen
so the viewers can play along at home.
Serving size, so we're gonna straight up,
I'll tell you guys straight up.
We're gonna go with the two-scoop serve,
which is that column in the middle,
which means a serving size, two scoops, 14.3 grams.
Got yourself about 20, of them two scoops, 14.3 gram bitches
in one of these Empire Performance Nutrition Trilogy bitches
in terms of what the 14.3 grams is made up of.
Empire Performance Nutrition have been kind enough
to provide a fully transparent nutritional panel,
so we can see exactly what the active ingredients are,
and in their exact dosages.
We'll do a quick addition and quickly add up
all of those actives and find out that there's 12.73 grams
of active ingredients spread across 11 different
active ingredients, so we are dealing with 89%
active ingredients, only 11% flavors,
sweeteners, and colors, which is fantastic,
especially for a pre-workout.
We tend to see pre-workouts these days pushing
25, 30, 40, sometimes even up to 50%
artificial colors, flavors, and sweeteners,
but Empire kept it nice and lean.
89% actives is a (beeping) ton of actives,
to be completely honest with you guys.
In terms of what those active ingredients are made up of,
starting from the top, got yourself a citrulline malate
in 6,000 milligram dose in the two scoop serve.
Citrulline malate, of course, so citrulline
bonded to malic acid in a two to one ration.
It's a pre-cursor to arginine,
which is gonna boost nitric oxide levels.
Boosting nitric oxide levels is gonna improve blood flow,
which is gonna, in turn, increase nutrient delivery
to working muscles, gonna improve muscle pumps,
and if you're lean enough to get vascular,
it's gonna improve vascularity as well.
The clinical dose of citrulline malate is 6,000 milligrams.
We have 6.000 milligrams in the two scoop dose,
so we would go so far as to say it is clinically dosed.
Moving right along, we then get into beta alanine.
In a 2,500 milligram dose, beta alanine
increases the concentration of carnosine in working muscles,
which is gonna help buffer the build up of fatigue toxins,
such as lactic acid, hydrogen ions and others.
It's gonna, therefore, improve muscular endurance
and clinical dose of beta alanine
in a pre-workout as, of course, 3.2 grams.
We only have 2.5 grams, so we're just
ever so slightly under dosed.
Moving right along, we then get into
my personal favorite type of creatine,
and that is creatine hydrochloride, of course.
In an 800 milligram dose, creatine hydrochloride,
as with all types of creatine, is a precursor
to adenosine triphosphate, and adenosine triphosphate
is a fuel source for the phosphate energy system.
In short, more ATP equals more fuel for working muscles,
especially when you increase, when you're lifting
that light weight, like bags of feathers, baby!
It's gonna help increase muscle power,
allow you to train harder and stimulate more muscle growth.
The clinical dose of creatine hydrochloride is about
1,000 milligrams, so it is ever so slightly under dosed,
but it does need to be considered with
the other ingredients we're gonna get to
that are also beneficial for muscle power.
Moving right along, we then get into caffeine anhydrous,
in a 280 milligram dose.
Caffeine, of course, a central nervous system stimulant,
gonna enhance physical energy and reduce fatigue,
and boost psychological performance in clinical
or efficacious or, let's go with most preferred dose
of a caffeine in a pre-workout is 2- to 300 milligrams.
We've got 280 milligrams, so we would go so far as to say
that it is very well dosed.
In fact, for me personally, my personal opinion here,
I really like pre-workouts that are like 250 to like,
well it's when you start getting towards 300, for me
it's kinda ugh, when you go over 300, it's too much sauce,
so 280 for me in terms of caffeine anhydrous is like
I'ma give you one of these emojis
for the 280 milligrams of caffeine in two scoops
of this Empire Performance Trilogy.
Moving right along, we then get into L-taurine
in a 1,000 milligram dose, so taurine is an amino
sulfonic acid that's gonna improve muscular endurance,
works quite well in combination with
beta alanine, as a matter of fact.
Also, gonna improve cardiac function and boost blood flow
by a very mild vasodilation.
The clinical dose of L-taurine, 500 to 2,000 milligrams.
We have 1,000 milligrams, so we would go
so far as to say it's perfectly dosed.
Moving right along, we then get into agmatine sulfate,
as the registered version agmass.
In a 1,000 milligram dose, agmatine sulfate,
a nitric oxide booster inhibits the enzyme
that breaks down nitric oxide, so you can start to see here
a little bit of synergism between the citraline malate
boosting nitric oxide levels through the arginine pathway,
and then agmatine sulfate inhibiting the enzyme
that breaks down that excess nitric oxide.
So, we've got some good tag team action happening here
with the citruline malate and the agmatine.
Clinical dose of agmatine suolfate, 750 to 1,500 milligrams.
We have 1,000 milligrams, so we would go
so far as to say it's very well dosed.
Moving right along, we then get into L-tyrosine,
in an 800 milligram dose, L-tyrosine,
a new tropic amino acid.
It's a precursor to L-dopa, which in turn is a precursor
to neurotransmitters dopamine, noradrenaline and adrenaline.
It's gonna improve cognition in the presence of stress,
and generally have an uplifting effect on your mood.
Clinical dose of L-tyrosine, 500 to 2,000 milligrams.
We have 800 milligrams, so it is towards the lower end
of that dosing range, but still within it.
So, we would go so far as to say clinically dosed.
Moving right along, we then get into
a hordenine hydrochloride in a 40 milligram dose,
aka N,N-dimethyltyramine.
It's a very, very strong central nervous system stimulant.
Also gonna boost metabolic rate and reduce appetite.
It's quite popular, quite often new, you see hordenine used
in fat loss supplements as opposed to pre-workouts.
Efficacious dose of hordenine is 25 to 50 milligrams
where we have 40 milligrams,
we would go so far as to say it is clinically dosed.
Moving right along into another ingredient
that we generally see in fat loss formulas,
not in pre-workouts, and that is
higenamine in a 60 milligram dose.
Higenamine is a beta 2 adrenergic receptor agonist,
which means it's gonna relax smooth muscles,
in your lungs in particular, and act effectively
as a respiratory system relaxant, but then also
work as a stimulant in you heart
to increase the power of your heartbeat.
The clinical dose of higenamine, 25 to 50 milligrams.
We have 60 milligrams, so we would go so far
as to say it's actually a little bit overdosed.
Moving right along, we then get into elevATP.
In a 150 milligram dose, this is a proprietary
ancient peaked an apple extract developed by
a company called A FutureCeuticals,
registered tratemark to FutureCeuticals.
Stimulates the production of adenosine triphosphate ATP.
Actually works as an alternative to creatine,
but works quite well in conjunction with creatine.
So once again, little bit of synergism going on here
between the elevATP and the creatine hydrochloride.
It's therefore gonna help increase muscle power,
help you train harder for longer
and stimulate more muscle growth.
Clinical dose of elevATP is 150 milligrams.
We have 150 milligrams, so we would go
so far as to say it's perfectly dosed.
And then finally, our 11th and final ingredient,
the juglans regia, aka J regia extract
in a 100 milligram dose.
This is your walnut bark extract that acts as
a psychoactive central nervous system stimulant.
It's gonna boost energy, enhance cognitive function,
decrease appetite, act as a bronchial dilator,
and also the psychoactive component is gonna
increase dopamine and noradrenaline, which is gonna
elevate your mood and feeling of well-being.
The clinical dose of J regia is 75 milligrams.
We have 100 milligrams, so we would go
so far as to say it is overdose.
Got yourself about 11% artificial colors,
flavors, and sweeteners.
And that's what's in it!
Not bad, Tom, 11 ingredients if I might say so.
I'm gonna give myself a pat on the mother (beeping) back
for getting through those so quickly. (laughing)
On paper, as you guys can see, a pretty damn
well put together pre-workout supplement.
Most of the ingredients are at least clinically dosed.
A bunch of them are over clinically dosed.
There's a couple that are lacking a little bit,
but then you do have synergisms
to kind of fill in the gaps as well.
The synergism between citraline malate and agmatine.
The synergism between the slightly under dosed creatine
and hydrochloride, and the elevATP.
The synergism between all of
the psychoactive CNS stimulants.
It is, I mean, you look at it on paper
and you're like (beeping) man, these guys, this,
for a new supplement company, they have done A-OK with
the formulation of this pre-workout supplement on paper.
If we were to get picky and look at what it's missing,
definite gap for something for a little bit more
mental focus and acute concentration.
Something look like a choline and alpha GPC,
acetylcholine, some type of choline in combination with
Huperzine A is, for me personally, the one-two punch
when it comes to acute concentration
increasing mental focus.
Definitely nothing that kinda touches that pathway at all
on paper in this formula.
The other thing it's missing it's something
for muscle volume and hyperhydration, so glycerol,
a Hydromax, a GlycerPump, something look like that.
A big kinda gap in the formula there as well.
But, apart from those two things, I mean, it covers off
a bunch, it covers off all your bases for pre-workout,
energy, muscle pump, muscle power, feeling of well-being,
muscular endurance, it really does take a lot of the boxes
on paper when we look at the type of effects
that we generally wanna get from a pre-workout supplement.
In terms of how it tastes, how it mixes,
comes in two flavors.
Comes in...
You see it, can you see it?
It's so small, I'll be honest with you.
When I actually, I was looking for the flavor
and I was like, what the (beeping) mother (beeping).
It's up, it's up here.
Very, very small on the label.
I didn't even think I could get some,
can I get some zoomer focus action on this one, please?
There we go, now you guys, still kinda,
it's too small, anyway.
Grape, aka grape drink, comes in!
Once again, you guys can't see it,
you're gonna have to take my word for it, tropical!
You see when I mix it up that
what you're about to see, you'll take my word for it
when you see the color of it.
Two flavors, grape drink and tropical.
The tub that I've been using is actually
the tropical flavor, so I'm gonna just bust this open,
and yeah that, we've got some powder, powder all over the,
all the way in the (beeping) filming studio!
We're about to take this pre-workout up a notch,
you know what I'm saying?
Infamous, (laughing) MassiveJoes taste and mixability test
about to go down, got a double wall glass with a spoon.
I'm gonna, now even though everything I've done
is on the two scoop dose, to be fair,
there's not a lot of water in this glass right here.
There's probably 150 to 200 mils,
and when I've been taking the Trilogy,
I use like almost a full TMJ Elite shaker.
So, for the purposes of the taste and mixability test,
I'm actually just gonna go one scoop
in this double wall glass of water.
So let me grab one scoop of this Empire Performance Trilogy.
Let me throw this bitch in this bitch,
and let it rain!
Let it rain.
A few flicks of the wrist of this tropical flavor,
and as I've mentioned, you guys will now take my word for it
because it is a tropical color, at least.
A few flicks of the wrist.
I'm gonna show you guys how it mixes,
and to refresh my memory on how
this tropical Trilogy tastement.
In fact, while I'm doing that, I'm just gonna
let it sit 'cause I actually wanna
show you guys something while it sits.
I will mention as well that I weighed the scoop
because I wanted to see how close the scoop was,
so one scoop's supposed to be 7.15 grams,
two scoops double that, obviously 14.3.
Empire have (beeping) nailed this scoop,
and I know it's not really that big a deal,
but it is a big deal because most companies' pre-workouts
don't even (beeping), like, it's not, usually we say,
MassiveJoes, if it's within 10%
it's kinda acceptable, 5% is amazing.
This (beeping) scoop weighs 7.15 grams.
I don't even know how they got it to be that accurate,
(laughing) but legit, and it is, you can see, it's quite
a unique sized scoop compared to most pre-workouts,
but it is bang on 7.15 grams.
I just thought I'd mention that because I was shocked
(laughing) when I put it on the scale, I was like (beeping)
man, they nailed this shit, anyway.
Now it's sat there.
I just wanna show you guys, in terms of how it mixes.
One thing that you will notice is that it does
settle towards the bottom, so I'm not even sure if,
I don't wanna tip this shit on myself,
but let me get a little bit of angle.
You guys can see that just towards the bottom there
is it does settle a little bit.
The good news is, is once it's settled,
just a few more flicks of the wrist
and it mixes completely, and that is why I'm gonna say
blendable is not required! (booming)
For this Empire Performance Nutrition Trilogy,
let me refresh my memory on how this
flora colored tropical tastes, man.
The flavors across both of them,
I'm gonna speak generally about tropical and grape
before I tell you which one I prefer.
The flavors, both of them, are quite pleasant,
but they're also quite strong,
and both of them have a very strange,
kind of metallic, aftertaste going on.
It's hard to describe, it's not bitter, it's not sour.
It's like metallic.
I don't even know if that's a way of describing the taste,
but (beeping) it, I just did it.
It's (laughing) an interesting aftertaste.
I mean, keeping in mind they've only used 11%
artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners,
and they've done a (beeping) great job for only 11%
to be honest with you guys.
Tropical is not bad, grape is definitely,
if I had to rank the two, grape,
I mean grape, grape drink, you know what I'm saying?
For me personally, it shits on tropical,
but they are both very pleasant flavors to drink.
Just use, what I will recommend is use,
I've mentioned to you guys how much water I use
for two scoops, use more water than you think you need
because the flavors are strong, and that aftertaste
really does like, (grunting) it kinda just, yeah.
So, use more water than you think you'll need,
and you guys, I think you'll enjoy the flavors.
They're not bad at all.
In terms of the effects,
because that's what you're taking this shit for,
let's be honest viewers at home,
it's a (beeping) pre-workout.
Wanna know about the effects of this pre-workout.
So, what I'ma do, I'ma go through the five main things
that we like to see in pre-workout formulas
and give you guys my personal opinion,
and then kinda pull it all together for you on where I think
this Trilogy pre-workout fits in,
who I think is gonna enjoy it the most.
Starting with muscular endurance, not bad,
definitely noticeable, but nothing outstanding,
and that's kinda to be expected, looking on paper.
Slightly under-dosed can be the alanine,
but you do have taurine there, so a good effect
on muscular endurance, but nothing you'll like
just (beeping) train forever.
Mental focus, kind of scattered, to be honest with you guys.
There's definitely not like a tunnel vision
mental focus effect or an enhanced concentration going on.
There is definitely an increase in the elevation
in your mood and your feeling of well-being.
I definitely get that a lot, and that's quite
a long lasting effect as well.
I've trained on this Trilogy a couple of times
where it's been a really long day,
I'm just like mentally exhausted
and I really didn't feel like training,
I've taken the Trilogy and it's just like
the uplifting effect on the mood and feeling of well being
has been exceptionally pronounced.
But, so far as mental focus, acute mental focus,
definitely lacking in that area
in my personal experience with this pre-workout.
Muscle power, very good.
Once again, nothing mind blowing,
but very solid muscle power.
You definitely notice on those bigger muscle groups,
chest, back, legs, that lightweight
feels like bags of feathers, baby.
Very, I would actually go so far as to say,
quite good muscle, like, I'm not gonna say
exceptional muscle power, but I'd go so far as to say
now I'm thinking about the workouts I've done on it
and I've felt strong, I've felt really strong on it,
so I would actually go quite good muscle power.
Muscle pumps, pff, really (beeping) good.
I mean, that one-two combo, that tag team combination
of a full dose of citruline malate,
for me, and I personally prefer
citruline malate to free-form L-citruline.
I don't know why the (beeping), but I just do.
That full dose, full six grams of citruline malate
with a big 1,000 milligrams of agmatine sulfate.
I mean, that one-two punch, man, for me personally,
it's just such a great, a great one-two punch
when it comes to muscle pumps.
The muscle pumps on this Trilogy
are really, really exceptional.
And then finally, the energy, and I'm gonna circle back here
and tie this all in with the feeling of well-being as well.
The energy on this is really, really something special,
and I think this is kinda really the effect
where this pre-workout does kinda stand out.
And, let me just frame this correctly for you.
It's not a super high stimulant,
knock your (beeping) head off pre-workout.
It's not that at all, that is not the positioning
of this pre-workout in the big scheme of pre-workouts.
We're talking about energy that comes on very fast
in combination with a very fast, uplifting mood
and feeling of well-being that lasts for a long time
that's very clean, which for me is a big thing,
and I really like the fact that they've only used
280 milligrams of caffeine because I know
that they would of been tempted to do some stupid bullshit
and throw like 350 or 400 in there
and just completely (beeping) ruin the pre-workout.
But, the fact that there's only 280 milligrams
in the two scoops, so you get all the clinical doses
that we talked about so far in this Raw review
of all the active ingredients, you can do that
because you don't have to worry about there being
some (beeping) retarded amount of caffeine in there,
is very, very good formulating from my personal
point of view, and the effect, therefore,
of getting the full clinical doses
of all those active ingredients, plus the rapidly onsetting
clean, long lasting energy with the elevation
and feeling of well-being and mood
is just a great feeling to train on this pre-workout.
I would say at this point in time,
one of my favorite pre-workouts to train on,
just because of the way it makes me feel,
and I mentioned to you guys, like, I've trained on it
a few times where I've just like gone to the gym,
but that was not something I wanted to do,
but I had to get my workout in,
and I dropped the Trilogy, and I'm like (beeping) man,
this is like, I just feel really good
and I've had really, really good workouts on it.
And, I think that's really kind of where this pre
does fit into the landscape of pre-workouts.
It's not gonna rock your socks,
it's not gonna blow your (beeping) mind in any aspect.
It's gonna tick a lot of the boxes, tick them very well,
and then it's just a really nice pre-workout to train on
that you know is gonna get you a nice amount of energy,
come on fast, last for a long time, not drop you
like a sack of shit with a post-workout crash,
and just a very, very reliable pre-workout formula.
In terms of side effects, couple of things.
Even though it's not a stupidly high stimulant pre-workout,
you do have to have a significant dose of caffeine
plus hordenine, plus higenamine, plus J-regia,
so if you are sensitive to stimulants,
I'd definitely start off at one scoop
and work your way up from there and just kind of
find that sweet spot 'cause two scoops
may be a little bit too much for you
with that combined effect of all those stimulants.
So, start at one, work your way up,
and kinda see where your sweet spot is.
The other thing to beware of is the big dose of agmaine,
which ties into stackability,
which we're gonna talk to you guys about next.
You can obviously stack this with any non-stimulant.
Let me repeat, non-stimulant
muscle pump or volume formula, or non-stimulant
mental focus formula if you want it to bump up
the lack of muscle volume, or the lack of
tunnel vision, mental focus.
Just make sure it's non-stimulant, and if you are
stacking it with a pump or volume formula,
just beware of that big dose of agmatine
because there is 1,000 milligrams, but for most people,
when you start getting towards 1500, 2,000 milligrams
agmatine in an acute dose is gonna upset your stomach
and not make you feel so good in the guts.
Final thing I will say, price and value for money.
In the Australian market, this Trilogy retailing for 69.95
Australian dollars for 40 scoops, or if you've taken
the full two scoop serve, it's gonna be 20 serves,
which puts it at $1.75 per scoop, or $3.50
per two scoop serve, which does make it, I wouldn't say
expensive, but definitely towards the more expensive,
in the big scheme of pre-workouts,
but it is one of those situations, guys.
You get what you pay for, you're ticking
a lot of (beeping) boxes when it comes to pre-workouts here,
and you're getting a very, very reliable pre-workout.
And guys, if you're in the market for that very, very
reliable pre-workout that is just gonna have you feeling
real, really nice while you're training,
get you some really good muscle power, amazing muscle pumps,
decent muscular endurance, and just an amazing feeling,
uplifting feeling of well-being and increase in mood,
