There is something in Smash AMF that is not on the label. A strange ingredient that is not like any other ingredient in any other pre workouts. A lot of people like to compare this one to excelsior, myself included. I like to consider it as the dirty biker crank version of excelsior. There are quite a few things that make this one unique as a pre workouts so I decided to break this one down into segments. Flavor: I’ve got two different tubs, two different flavors, but the flavor I am currently working through is tiger’s blood. Let me just say that this is probably the nastiest pre workout I have ever experienced. The taste is something I like to characterize as “caffeinated cheese water”. It clumps very easily and has the consistency of parmesan cheese. As you first open it, it has a foil seal that you have to break. Once I broke that seal it stank up my kitchen and made my house smell like a small time Italian delicatessen for a whole day. At first sip I didn’t know if the flavor was right or if it had been expired so I made sure to look at the label. It smells, looks, and feels like parmesan… it tastes like Parmesan or Italian dressing that has expired. As I worked my way through the tub, it has become less offensive since that first day. Stim killer:Ii cannot take this the day before an anticipated high stim day. I once saw a theory that the secret ingredient was 4-fluoromethylphenidate. I cannot confirm this to be true but what I can say is that this rumored secret ingredient was researched as a potential type of suboxone for cocaine use disorder. Meaning that if you took 4f-mph, you would not yield the effects of cocaine. If this were true, that would make sense. On two separate occasions I have taken this pre the day before a high stim saturday and on both occasions, both experiences were ruined. I specifically remember that one time was zeus and the other time was legit pre. Both times after having taken Smash the day before, those pres seemed to only provide me with a barely manageable caffeine buzz.If you’ve taken Legit Pre, you would think this is unfathomable. Since then I make sure to throw this in the middle of my daily pre rotation so that I could experience the appropriate effects of whichever high stim pre workout I plan on taking that week. Gym performance: the star of the show, top notch gym performance happens with this stuff! It does elevate heart rate quite a bit so I reserve this use for moderate intensity gym workouts. A few times I’ve taken this with cardio in my regimen and I was hitting peak heart rate on my fitbit, so I keep this one limited to weight lifting. Label: I don’t believe anything on the label whatsoever. You can’t sneak an ingredient into a pre workout and then expect me to trust that this formula actually has 4G of citrulline or 1.5G of beta alanine. First of all that doesn’t even make any sense and second, the trust factor is broken with the secret ingredient. Strange side effects: I have to wonder if the secondary secret ingredient is something akin to a low dosage of cialis because without fail, every time I take this, it produces awkward erections that I seemingly have no control over. Pumps: non existent, it’s a pefect formula to stack with a pump formula as it just feels like a stim only pre workout. Scoop: this one clumps easily so it takes me two scoops to reach the 10G dosage.

Experience with new Irate was disappointing experience. I took the pre at full 11 grams, Beta Alanine kicked in first, mid – to high level of tingles. Then quickly followed by mood elevation, warm fuzzy euphoric feeling, something was brewing in the background then it became apparent enough for illicit type of pre workout especially claiming DMAA. Then good focus, nootropic effects came in, music sounded good, start was very good, high level. But then, 30 minutes in, it kinda leveled out, stopped all together, I went back to “normal” calm state, during the actual workout it did not aid me in any way. 2nd time I took it was almost 2 scoops of it which equals to 15 grams. That's when the experience was solid. But still nothing crazy like DMAA would actually give you. Mood elevation, motivation, good energy was there accompanied with good focus. It's a stim junkie pre workout they must be taken only after stim break when stim tolerance is fairly low. And in total if I'd try a sample of it I wouldn't buy the whole tub. So I keep it in my stash to use it only after stim break. That's when it will shine. Pumps were okay. Flavor is Pink Cosmic candy which is fairly nice tasting, it reminds me Pink Lemonade flavor. It's artificial color free so that's a plus. Overall I was a big fan of Jaggernaut nutrition back in the, got to try Wild pre back then. But not the Irate. People say original formula with 1,3 DMAA was a lot stronger and apparent on euphoria. It's a pre workout that I'd recommend to beginner stim junkies who wants to dabble with illicit exotic ingredients without getting the side effects
I really liked this one. Experience is very smooth, clean. Provides good energy, focus and it has legit DMHA feel to it. More on the euphoric, mood elevation pres like Zeus, Kilo Labs Supreme, Hive v2, Stim Shady. Closest thing it feels like is toned down Maniaco. Scoop is a lil heavy even on almost flat scoop. 16 grams worked just fine for me. 25 serving is a great. Flavor is Strawberry Snowcone. Very sweet enjoyable. Unique taste to it Post workout buzz is there, also feeling good, light. No side effects with this one. Price is a lil above the average high stim pres which is 56$. And not available everywhere. If you are looking for clean DMHA experience with a mood elevation and euphoric kick, then you can grab this one and add to your collection. They have released new limited edition for Halloween which has alpha Yo for a stronger kick. I use Scary hours in the beginning of my stim cycle,because after using hardcore pres like Dark Labs it might not hit as good as it can. This pre workout actually feels pretty clean, you don't feel unhealthy or your health, Cardiovascular side being comprised. So I'd say you can take it 2-3 times a week, spaces out of course Energy/Power 8/10 Mood elevation 9/10 Taste 9/10 Pumps 7/10 Overall 8.5/10
My Personal Review 📝🔍 Saw a review about new pre workout, on YouTube reviewer's channel - thinkfit247, and he said it has the goods, real DMAA feel to it, reminded him OG Mesomorph. So I decided to get one. Experience: I'm not gonna go into too much details, in short it feels like something between Wildfire and Cali Mamba. Not to mention it has the copycat label of Cali Mamba. L-theanine has specific effect on me when I take it in pre workouts. Just like Wildfire it made me calm, collected, focused on workout and very good strength output. Weights felt lighter though-out the workout. Didn't get tired or fatigued. Recovery between sets was decent. No euphoria or noticeable mood elevation. It just puts me in good state to workout hard and long, to add weight and reps to the sets. This is not what I expected to be honest, I'd rather keep taking Wildfire for heavy workouts. I'll give it a try again maybe after stim break or something. Flavor was Melonberry, which is watermelon. It was okay. It's fine china powder, texture is fluffy and light just like wildfire. Flat scoop is exactly 13 grams. Pumps and Mind muscle connection was great too. Tub design is very nice, I dig it. Looks great from my collection. Overall I think if you have Wildfire or Cali Mamba this gonna be excessive. It's fairly expensive pre as well, and not available in many websites. Do I think it legit has DMAA or DMHA? Answer is I don't know. Does it work? Answer is yes. Dystopia is also fairly safe for beginner I'd say, because I didn't notice any side effects that you might usually get from a high stim pre. I'll try it more and if it is gonna perform Better I'll share the experience by adding it here.
I was intending for this review to be based more on an anecdote rather than give a compendium of personal accounts. The reason being because based on other reviewers, I’ve heard the same story. Most importantly this is a cautionary tale about taking the full dose. In the beginning of 2024, I went on a vacation with the family to upstate New York to get away from the distractions of the city. We were in a cabin where I was focusing more on my martial arts and calisthenics as opposed to lifting weights in a gym. I brought with me a variety of samples from Ruesco, which if you purchased samples from them, you’d know that they come in small baggies with sticker labels attached. I brought with me Crack OG and Crack Reloaded among a couple of daily drivers. As I had unpacked my bags and used a couple of daily drivers to get through some of my routines, there came a day where I wanted something a bit more high stim. I decided on Crack Reloaded and determined that I would save Crack OG for when I made my way in town to try the local gym. The only problem here is that the labels fell off of both baggies. What I thought was Crack Reloaded was actually Crack OG! If you didn’t know, Reloaded is more of a heavy hitter nootropic. Crack OG is a really hardcore stim junkie preworkout with DMHA, noopept, alpha yo, and three types of caffeine. As you can tell by this foreshadowing, I accidentally picked Crack OG. It was 5am and still dark out, the family was sleeping, I made my drink and chugged it. I made it through the first portion of my training with ease utilizing a deck of cards where black was designated for squats and red was designated for pushups. Each card that you flip, you take the face value of the card and commit to the repetition of that exercise. I worked through this with ease and the buzz started setting in. I still didn’t know that it was crack OG. 20 minutes in and it was starting to build. The buzz was intense and I really was amped to push myself further than I normally go. I breezed through the deck of cards, some forms, shadow boxing and various sets of exercises utilizing my body weight but it wasn’t enough. 45-50 minutes in and the intensity was continuing to build without any ending in sight. At this point I realized my mistake. I recognized the DMHA buzz and the intensity of my workout at this point. I decided to roll with it and continue regardless thinking something stupid like “it’s just two scoops and DMHA, I can handle this!” I could not handle this. My workout ended after an hour and 15 minutes and I was still feeling it. I was flying! By now that the workout was over I was taking a break, sitting down and letting the sweat run off me. The side effects were starting to set in, anxiety had made its way in to distract me from the euphoria and I started to feel a little nauseous. After about an hour and a half I ended up dry heaving and my mood had changed. I went from “I can handle this” to “did I accidentally overdose?” I showered and tried to settle myself down. While I was now more stationary and settled from the exercise, the pre was still booming hard and kicking my ass! I was originally going to commit to four hours of work from the cabin to make up some extra time but as I logged onto my platform, I felt like I was speeding so hard that the idea of sitting still and typing on my laptop was terrifying! “Why am I so scared?” I thought to myself. I sent an email to my supervisor and claimed I would make up my schedule over the weekend. After 2.5 hours it was still going strong and I had to do something. I was experiencing full blown panic by now and thinking “how long is this supposed to last!?” I decided to walk a mile to the nearest shop and grab a couple of beers in hopes of settling myself and also to hopefully nap it out. I don’t drink so this could potentially work. Even though it was just a mile, my fitbit was showing me to hit zone minutes and my heart rate was around 120 bpm. I purchased a couple of strong beers, made it back to the cabin and drank them, praying that it would give me some type of lethargy to nap. By this point it was around 3.5 hours since taking the pre. I managed to be able to close my eyes and get a little bit of a nap but my heart rate was still spiked when I had come out of my nap. I kept thinking that day that it wouldn’t have been the same if I was in a gym and able to exhaust myself with heavy lifting. It is a good pre workout and definitely one you can use to break PRs. I ended up buying a tub for this reason despite having a nightmare experience. Since then I have never exceeded more than one scoop and I was right. It is a damned good pre workout and one you can certainly use for the motivation to break a PR. 2 scoops is just too much! The flavor of the tub I got was grape and it’s fine. I can’t even remember what variety of flavor it was of the sample that I had purchased but the grape seems less offensive in taste because I do remember that sample to be stronger in flavor than what grape tastes like. Take this as a cautionary tale, using 2 scoops may seem like a stim junkie hazing into the world of high intensity stim junkie pre workouts, but the side effects are not worth it. To this day, I cannot point out any single ingredient in particular that caused me to be such a mess. It was the full synergy of all the ingredients combined.
I expected this one to be similar to the OG crack gold, and truthfully it’s similar in a lot of ways but many other aspects make this stand out on its own. This pre workout is definitely for a day off work or a day when you plan on having 2 workouts. The first time I took this I was expecting it to hit the way crack gold hits because of the label. It boasts DMHA and geranium extract (aka DMAA), at 150mg and 75mg respectively. Crack gold boasts 200mg DMHA and 100mg Geranium extract. There are some differences such as crack gold having some nootropic add ins like alpha gpc and NALT whereas Legit Pre does not.The differences on the label appear subtle, but they vastly differ from each other in a lot of ways. The biggest takeaway comparing these two pre workout juggernauts come down to the overall experience. Crack gold feels dirtier than Legit Pre for some reason. I’m not sure why this is or what is extra on the label, but this is only a deciding factor in how I want my workout to go. Legit Pre feels a bit cleaner but the focus is also more intense. With Legit Pre, I feel more in tune with the weights and with crack gold, I feel like I’m trying to destroy the weights. The biggest overall difference is the duration of these feelings with legit. Legit feels like it continues to work in the background even after your gym session is over. Crack gold feels like there’s a crash that lets me know it’s over. Legit pre doesn’t seem to have that crash. For example: the first time I took Legit Pre, I had a killer gym session, I broke some PRs, i felt the mood elevation and euphoria for some time after I was done working out. I almost forgot I had taken the Legit Pre until 5 hours after I was done exercising I drank an energy drink.i thought it was long over until the caffeine from the energy drink kicked in. I was brimming with energy so hard I just went back to the gym and had another extra 45 minutes of exercise to level off the feeling. It was a good feeling, the music was loud because the headphones were stuffed into my eardrums and I was rocking out for the rest of the 2nd workout session. Energy drinks don’t do that for me so I knew it was the legit pre. This thing hits hard and then sticks around like your wife’s boyfriend. Unlike your wife’s boyfriend it’s not an awkward and uncomfortable type of lingering, it’s more welcomed. This is where the biggest difference lies between crack gold and legit pre lie. This one can lie low and reactivate like a sleeper cell if the need arises. Another difference lies within the flavor. Crack gold is nasty with a strong aftertaste that feels like it gives you cottonmouth by taking one sip. Legit pre has an aftertaste but it’s not an aggressive cleaning agent type of taste like you would get with gold. It’s subtle and manageable that is almost as smooth as some other types of sports drinks.
High end stim junkie daily pre workout. Full dose is nice and strong. Alpha Yo does not feel very hard hitting or aggressive. Good mood elevation. Good pumps. Gets the job done. Only downside is sometimes it's inconsistent and might give me crash in mood. Main winner point is the price and serving size. 30 servings for 32-33$ with discount codes on Nutricartel. Flavor is peachy witchy. It's okay nice flavor. No complaints The powder texture and consistency is very fluffy and nice, it doesn't get clumpy as fast as older pres of Dark Labs. I'm looking planning to stack it with 2 caps of Euphoria caps from DL when I'm feeling the mood. Some people who tried this combo said it's good mix and works very good. I recommend to pretty much everyone from beginner to stim junkies who wants to have a good Daily pre workout in their rotation. Alpha Yo isn't strong that it might give you typical side effects, but benefits are there, you feel it in your performance, mood elevation and sense of urgency.
It’s much praised pre by reviewers. But personally I doesn’t really felt what I was expecting it to be. L-theanine throws me off and totally unnecessary for such low stim pre. Didn’t get any high energy, work horse mode from it, I felt like I could train even without it. Good points are that Beta alanine is crazy strong and lasts for could 40 minutes. Pumps are good. Flavor cherry Kiwi is naturally sweetened, it’s nice and sweet at first but after taste is just too bitter. I get it, its clean product but I couldn't care less about it when it doesn't deliver good performance nor taste good
All time favorite pre workout. Cover it all. Energy, mood elevation, Euphoria, insane pumps, post workout buzz, feeling on top of the world. No sides, no drama. Taste is also great. I have tropical punch I think DL gonna bring it back soon. Pumps are unmatched, don't need to stack anything on top, maybe Glycerol. Generally it's pretty consistent pre. 2 scoops weights less than recommend 17 grams, so use scale. Post workout mood elevation is on another level. You feel light, happy and go on about your day like you didn't had hard workout. Mind muscle connection is my favorite traits as well.
This is one of the best pre's of all time for me. It’s a strong DMHA pre workout. Clean, yet hard hitter. Strong Beta Alanine, Mood elevation, Focus. Aggression, Strength output. Weights feel light. You are on fire. No rest between sets. It’s a Rip and Tear kind of a pre workout. And it’s super consistent. Little to no side effects. You somehow get the alpha Yo feeling on it even tho it mentions Yohimbine only. It's also thermogenic, makes you burn calories, work hard, perform better than last time. For beginners I recommend it to take at half serving.flat scoop is light anyways. It's 9 grams even tho serving size is 2-3 grams above it. It clumps after some time, so recommend to keep it in dry, drake place and add couple more silica packs. I have both American Pop and Fruit punch flavors. Both taste awesome. Sadly OG version is discontinued. RIP
Juiced is one of the unique pre workouts that feel different. But unfortunately different does not equal to best experience for me. Had more side effects than benefits. Shaky, Pupils dilated, salivating, jittery. Couldn't push workouts to max intensity. Post workout felt even more floaty and illicit feeling. Definitely gets in the way of your sleep. Flavor was Lemonade which is chemical and taste very bad. Fortunately tried a sample before purchasing a tub. İ also noticed that between sets I have to focus on keeping my hands steady from shaking. And pushing to complete failure is almost impossible. I do salivate post workout too. Sometimes Zoning out and staring to a point for minutes as I dissociate. It's certainly a weird experience that some might like, personally it's a no go for me. It turns out to be a whole day experience which doesn't suit me. It might be especially not suitable people who take it in the morning then go to work. Some batches do differ in experience, as some users point out with flat lit hits harder, and has more illicit feel to it. Pumps were okay, but generally upon taking this you are not focused on pumps because so much else going on. I don't recommend it to beginners or even stim junkie beginners. Advanced pre workout users only. No more then once a week. You might wanna grab a sample from Ruesco or UK Gym power to try it out first. If you like the experience you can go ahead and purchase a whole tub
This was from the clumpy batch that was recently being sold on darklabs.pro at a discount. When I weighed it out to the serving size of 6.7 grams, the clumpiness caused it to be an overflowing scoop. This made me second guess my measurements, so I started off only drinking half of the full scoop right away with a fasted strength/cardio warmup. I finished the first whole scoop probably twenty minutes in when I realized I was doing just fine. The Green Apple taste was excellent, but the Black Pepper extract was also very overpowering, leaving a spicy taste in my mouth. This, however, had the effect of fast absorption and I actually felt the head high kick in within 5 minutes or less. I also had another half scoop prepped up for later in the workout incase I wasn't hitting my goals. Focus and head high were pretty immediate and intense throughout. Time flew by with the great tunnel-vision. Energy output seemed a little lacking throughout, as the weights seemed pretty heavy today, but everything else dialed it in and brought me home. I felt great and at no point did I feel tired. The famous GBB sweats didn't kick in until about an hour into the workout, at which point I finished my last half scoop. Herolean prides itself on ingredients that cause your body temperature to rise, thus increasing fat burn. My tracking watch didn't show this, however, and I seemed to be hitting my caloric goals slightly later than usual. This might be the excess sweat leading to tracking issues with the watch, as this has happened once or twice before. I did end up catching up as the sweats really kicked in once I finished my warm up and started hitting the weights hard. Pumps were pretty lacking even though I supplemented with citrulline caps and beet root extract. I recommend using a pump product. Overall, the focus and clarity was excellent on this. Sweating seemed to dissipate after the workout was over. It didn't have a lot in regards to physical energy and I might stack this with something that has a little more yohimbine next time just for that purpose, but that's sort of my preference anyway. There were a few wants that were missing, but this might be fixed by doing a mixture similar to 1/2 scoop of Flame and a 1/2 scoop of Herolean. Great workout!
