Over the years, Ghost has drastically expanded their line of products, brand awareness, and “family” of sponsored athletes. Since they are more of a lifestyle brand, they typically opt for adding social media influencers and YouTubers to their team opposed to professional athletes. But Ghost also doesn’t just pick the person with the largest follower counts — they choose people who fit well with the brand and are involved in health and fitness.
When Ghost launched, they created a team of fitness influencers that helped spread awareness of the brand right off the bat. Some of their most famous sponsored influencers in the beginning were YouTubers, including Christian Guzman and Maxx Chewning.
Whiskey Sour Ghost Legend: New Flavor and Formula!
That brings us to Rob Lipsett, another famous YouTuber and fitness influencer, hailing from Dublin, Ireland. He’s sponsored by Christian Guzman’s clothing company, Alphalete Athletics, and has become good friends with Maxx as well. Rob has been obsessed with health and fitness ever since he stepped foot in the gym. He even competed in a physique competition, taking first place. Rob doesn’t compete regularly, but he does stay in incredible shape all year round.
Never taking it too seriously…
Rob shares a large amount of health, fitness, supplementation, and nutrition information for free on his YouTube channel. But, he also stresses the importance of balance and never takes things too seriously. So don’t be surprised if you see Rob hitting the gym one video, then a bar the next!
One of his favorite drinks to have on the weekend is a whiskey sour. Rob has been with Ghost a little over a year now, and after months of “research and development”, as founders Dan and Ryan would say, it’s time that Rob got his own Ghost Legend flavor collab! Whiskey Sour Ghost Legend is something Ghost had been teasing on their YouTube channel for a while, but now it’s finally here and Rob could not be more excited!
“Joining Ghost was a huge moment for me, I was always a fan of the brand and how they presented themselves. Before signing with them, I had actually spent a lot of time with the other athletes (Christian and Maxx), and also Dan and Ryan. So when the time came it just felt right.
My favorite drink is a whiskey sour and one night in Sydney, after a successful day at the fit expo, I said “hey how about my signature flavour to be Whiskey Sour?” We all kinda laughed about it, then I said “no seriously try it” and gave the lads a sip of my drink. It’s a refreshing drink that would actually be great as a pre workout flavor, so after we went out that night the idea was born!
It’s safe to say this is an industry first and of course, Ghost are the ones to do it. I am really excited for it and if you told my younger self that I would one day be coming out with my own signature pre workout, I wouldn’t believe you! I’m delighted.”

Whiskey Sour Ghost Legend Ingredients
Since Rob lives in the UK currently, Ghost is using the European formula as a base for this limited edition flavor of Ghost Legend! However there are a few modifications made based on Rob’s requests.
-
Major Changes To the Formula: Nitrosigine, Beta-Alanine, ActaGin, and NeuroFactor
For example, Rob is a huge fan of intense beta-alanine tingles and skin-splitting pumps, so they increased the dosage of beta-alanine to 3.2g and Nitrosigine to 1g per scoop. Currently, Nitrosigine is not even available in the US formula, and it’s by far one of PricePlow’s favorite ingredients for boosting nitric oxide synthesis, which leads to greater blood flow, pumps, and performance!
Nitrosigine consists of arginine silicate and inositol, this combination solves the issue of poor bioavailability that often occurs with pure L-arginine supplementation. It’s an incredible ingredient and we’re hoping that this is not the last time we see Nitrosigine appear in the states. Word on the street is that Ghost Legend V2 is in the works and Nitrosigine may make an appearance, so stay tuned!
Nitrosigine comes from the master ingredient developers at Nutrition21, who also make nooLVL. You can tell that Ghost is a fan of them because not only do they use Nitrosigine in the EU Ghost Legend formula, nooLVL is one of the key ingredients in Ghost Gamer!

The Power of ActiGin
Furthermore, Ghost added in ActiGin, which Dan thinks is a very underrated ingredient for boosting exercise performance!
ActiGin is a patent-pending blend of panax ginseng and rosa roxburghii fruit developed by NuLiv Science. It was specifically formulated to help you re-energize, recover, and regenerate new muscle cells.[1] A good amount of research shows that ActiGin supplementation can increase energy production,[2] decrease biomarkers of inflammation within working muscles,[3] and enhance glutathione activity (a potent antioxidant).[3]
ActiGin is a very interesting ingredient and we’re glad to see Ghost using it in this pre workout, maybe in the future this will be a new addition to the original Ghost Legend. It’s also important to note that ActiGin comes from a trusted supplier, is GRAS affirmed, meaning it’s generally regarded as safe and is an informed sport and informed choice certified. Overall, we think is a great addition to the limited edition Whiskey Sour Ghost Legend.

NeuroFactor: Is the US missing out?
Although NeuroFactor is not a new addition for the European version of Ghost Legend, it is new to the US Legend! And it’s an incredible ingredient, so let’s explain what NeuroFactor is all about:
NeuroFactor is a trademarked form of coffee bean extract developed by Futureceuticals, a leading ingredient supplier. Since the UK has various restrictions on certain ingredients, Ghost had to swap out the dicaffeine malate that’s found in the US version for NeuroFactor, since they do similar things. You also will not be finding any agmatine sulfate in the EU version either, due to the same restrictions.
Both NeuroFactor and dicaffeine malate provide a steady rise in mental energy, focus, and boost your performance. However, studies show that NeuroFactor has the unique capability to enhance levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)![4]
BDNF is classified as a protein that’s crucial in activating neurogenesis and repairing brain cells.[5] Very few things exist that are capable of increasing BDNF, so that’s a very significant finding. Furthermore, enhanced levels of BDNF have been linked to better memory, learning capability, and improved mood.[4,5]
More research is warranted in order to fully understand NeuroFactor’s effects on the brain, however the preliminary research looks bright!
If the new flavor doesn’t make you want to try Whiskey Sour Ghost Legend, then this modified formula just might! Let’s see what else this pre workout has to offer, because the rest of the ingredients are ones we know and love.
