I bought this recently expired batch off of NSS for cheap. After seeing that it had a pretty similar profile to Herolean v2, I knew that it would be at least pretty decent. Most of our favorite ingredients (DMHA, Eria Jarensis, Yohimbine, GBB) are all significantly boosted, almost doubled in some cases.

A slightly heaping scoop brought it to the 9.6g serving size, which I ended up running a total of 1.5 servings. I combined with Insane Labz Bloodbath. The flavor seemed slightly odd, but I had combine with the "unflavored" Bloodbath, so I didn't know for sure if there was some offset there.

Starting with a half scoop, I was a little worried about my experience this day. I was exhausted from work and ended up starting later in the day (530pm) just to give me time to recover and get prepped. I even had to mess with my television for 10 or so minutes after taking it, so I went into the workout with a less-than-ideal mood.

I could, however, feel this kicking in within 5 minutes or so, and after getting started around 15 minutes later, I could feel some decent mood elevation. Starting with my typical warm up, I could feel the focus and sweats building pretty steadily. Forty five minutes to an hour in, the sweats were at full pace and my head was dialed in; all of the aggravation from the day was absolutely gone!

I finished the second half-scoop at about the hour mark, but I honestly could have made it by just on the initial half scoop as the ingredients seemed to be hitting pretty well. I had some muscular fatigue building up this week, but I definitely couldn't feel it at this point, as Red Sky gave me the physical and mental energy to really push!

A half hour later, I finished the final half-scoop I had prepped up, even though I really felt I didn't need it to keep going. High Stim Ace sometimes makes references to stims making you want to dance, and I had always thought he was joking, but after take this last bit, the theme song to my intra-workout show (OG Dragonball in this case!) really made me want to hop around! The weights were easy to push around and I had zero mental hesitance to keep on going. I threw in the towel at about 2 hours and 50 minutes, as my fitness watch cuts off at three hours, so I keep it under that mark, but I probably could have kept on going!

In summary, the focus here was great! Time flew by and I actually had someone delivering some new weights off of FB Marketplace mid-workout just in time to use, which added to the experience. GBB sweats were on point (I enjoy them as they make me feel super-productive). While initially I didn't make any claim to euphoria, I admittedly was having a pretty low-mood day and this pulled me right out of it. I could feel the Yohimbine/Alpha-yo head buzz, but none of the side effects and I slept pretty decent considering how late in the day I took this. There are no pump ingredients here, so definitely pair it with one, as well.

Within the last few weeks, I had run both versions of Herolean (v1 and v2), and this very much matched, and in some spots exceeded, these. I've never used anything from Chaos and Pain, but I will definitely be checking out more of their product, as this was a spot-on experience!
