As 2019 is coming to an end, a new company has emerged with a new pre workout. We know, *yawn* ‘another pre workout. what could possibly be exciting about this?’ Well we’re here to tell you this couldn’t be any further from ‘just another pre workout’. Not only has Faction Labs Disorder taken Australia by storm but it also holds the HIGHEST active caffeine content in a pre workout we’ve seen! And before some of you get all high and mighty and say ‘Rich Piana’s 5150 has 470mg of caffeine’. 5150’s caffeine content was a blend of caffeine, some of which are as little as 1/3 of active caffeine content. So strap yourself in and let’s dive deeper into our Disorder review, Australia’s newest Pre Workout juggernaut! Faction Labs Disorder Review
KEY POINTS

- highest active caffeine content in Australia with a whopping 450mg per scoop! Faction Lab Review
- 1 full scoop hold clinical doses of pump & endurance ingredients such as Citrulline Malate & Beta Alanine
- Available in 8 flavours, each tried & tested. All worthy of their own medals
- ideal for the stim junkies Disorder review

Disorder Formula and Dosage
Now Disorder is a 50 serve pre workout, however it is designed to be taken in the 2 scoop serve making Disorder a 25 serve pre workout if you wish to get the full doses of each ingredient. Personally, we think this a great idea. 25 serve pre workouts are not uncommon at all, in fact 50/25 or 40/20 serve pre workouts are becoming the norm in the 2020’s. Why this is great is because beginners can take 1 scoop while the real stim-heads as to which Disorder is catered to, can down 2 scoops without any fuss & conquer their workouts.sorder review

RESULTS/EFFECTS
As self admitting stim freaks ourselves, the Muscle Maker team & our group of pre workout guinea pigs we like to call them went straight to the full 2 scoop serve. We all used Disorder for legs, chest, back and shoulders respectively (we don’t use stims any higher than 250mg MAX if at all for arms). Needless to say, wow! Disorder kicked in at different times for each but averaging about 10-15min and we all lasted at least an hour at full capacity. Many of us keen to keep going! Disorder was definitely a favourite for leg day for all of us. 500mg of caffeine can definitely be felt! Pump was there but wasn’t over top so if you’re a true pump fiend like us, perhaps another pre workout is best suited for you or alternatively stacking with a Zero-Stim Pump pre. Focus was certainly to, with so much caffeine it was hard not to focus on each rep of every set. Although Disorder lacks much form of power enhancing ingredients, the massive surge of energy from the caffeine we definitely found ourselves lifting heavier! disorder pre workout review
Side Effects
Now it’s fairly obvious what the side effects of a pre workout that contains a super high dose of 500mg caffeine are. But in case you don’t, read carefully. With the caffeine dosage so high and being anhydrous form at that, your energy levels peak within a 30-60min window. You may experience the ‘jittery’ feeling throughout your training a slight-to-mid level crash post workout. Again this is dependent on your caffeine tolerance. All of us who trialled Disorder felt absolutely none of these effects but it is not uncommon for inexperienced pre workout users & that is why 1 scoop is recommended for beginners. disorder pre workout review
FLAVOURS
Disorder comes in 4 absolutely incredible flavours! Red Russian (red frog), Green Haze (passion fruit), Blue Pearl (candy bomb) and Purple Reign (watermelon). In true Muscle Maker fashion, the whole team has tasted all 4 flavours and although Faction Labs has done an impeccable job with all 4 flavours (literally, we couldn’t fault a single flavour). We are divided on Red Russian & Purple Reign. In summary, you can’t go wrong with any of the flavours produced by faction labs. At the end of the day flavour of choice will be a person by person choice. No matter what, you won’t be disappointed!
*2021 UPDATE* – As of March 2021, Faction Labs have re-introduced all 4 of their once Limited Edition Flavours. These flavours you may see come & go in & out of stock due to their limited nature. The limited edition flavours are: Black Fire (Grape), Orange Firm (Orange Mango), White Snow (Vanilla Cola), Yellow Fever (Pine Lime). Of course we have tried all 4 new flavours and again Faction Labs have nailed them! If we had to pick a favourite flavour out of these 4 its a close tie between White Snow & Yellow Fever!
WHEN/HOW TO TAKE
We recommend taking 2 full scoops of Disorder pre workout for experienced caffeine users 15-20min prior to training. Otherwise just 1 scoop to asses tolerance for beginners or those who are easily effected by caffeine & stimulants. When testing Disorder, our team found 300-400ml of water was the sweet spot for mixability due to its incredibly sweet taste. Faction Labs Disorder Review
Unless you have a SUPER HIGH tolerance to stimulant pre workouts we recommend avoid taking Disorder after 5:30pm to avoid effecting your sleep. Disorder review
FINAL WORDS
Faction Labs Disorder pre workout is certainly not just another pre workout to grace the market. No, Disorder is a fully stacked, delicious & well rounded pre workout. Mainly suited towards the stim junkies but also tailored for beginners by taking the recommended 1 scoop serving size to start with. Not overly impressive with pump but can be easily fixed by stacking with your favourite pump pre workout. Disorder is perfect for legs with high, long lasting energy & focus. No matter what flavour you choose, you will enjoy drinking this every day before training. Faction Labs Disorder Review
Just remember, we HIGHLY recommend that beginners start with only 1 scoop & experienced pre workout users should be okay with the 2 scoop dose! Don’t say we didn’t warn you! disorder pre workout review
