GGH and Dark Labs did create an absolute banger. First one was my absolute favorite it was extremely euphoric and happy mood to work out. The second run is the same label but it does hit a little differently a little strong little aggressive motivation less euphoria but still it has the same source it has the same effects it has the same vibes delicious flavors , no bitter after taste. pumps are awesome. always put you in a good mood. It's super consistent hits every time, no bad workouts on ot. I have both versions and my favorite way to run it is to take half scoop of v1 and half scoop of v2. Definitely must have stim junkie pre workout. It's in my personal top 5 high stim pre workouts of all times.

Dark Labs and Nutricartel created one of the strongest, hard hitting pre workouts on the market. It's just unbelievable how stacked and maxed out the label is. It definitely has the good goods and you will not question it. Advanced users only. I started with full heaped scoop which is 27 g serving size and it was almost too much. The aggression, energy and sense of urgency, power output it provides is unreal. Weights felt light, PR's on top of PR's. Going non stop, no pain, no fatigue just right rocker fuel. Closer to the end of the workout I felt the cold sweats and little background nausea, which was tolerable, but post workout crash and sick feeling was real, had to chill out little bit and wait for it to level out but it's a straight 3-4 hours experience, even more. Took some chill piils before it went towards survival mode. It definitely builds over the course of total 2 hours, so you think it's Peaked but no..there's more coming. So I definitely recommend to take 3/4 scoop for your first time. Pumps were solid, mind muscle connection was really good. Flavor is Lemon Twist, it's not bad but definitely has that trademark Dark Labs chemical taste. This pre must be respected. Definitely must have in every stim junkies collection
I have tried original version and that was a very solid experience from DMHA, euphoric happy mood elevation vibes from regular Scare hours was really good. Limited Edition does up the ante! More caffeine, more DMHA and extra ingredients. This version felt just a little stronger but overall feel from the pre was similar to regular version Scary hours in terms of character. I had Grape bubblegum flavor sample, it's good solid 7.5/10, felt like regular Grape flavored pre workouts. The energy and little bit of aggression I got from it was more then enough to complete the workout and post workout there's no come down or side effects. Don't get me wrong you are still stimmed up but still can go about your day and do other works. Overall I recommend this product if you liked pre workouts like Kilo Labs Supreme it's pretty similar to that. Unfortunately Scary Hours are changing their label and will no longer have the illicit ingredients which made it unique...
Deliverance might be one of the most hyped pre workout out there but it's for a reason. People tend to buy five six tubs of it right away but I've decided to buy one tub to try first. I took one scoop 13 grams dose for the first try and I was blown away how good praise this I was stimmed up, high energy high sense of urgency incredible Focus and power output tastes really great I have blue raspberry flavor which really nice for the high stim. workout. Pumps are good but I always add pump formula on top of it., for my most heavy lifting days I always reach out to this gem and I know it will not disappoint. One of the key features that I really like about this pre is a consistency, it will hit every time. Perfect 10/10 stim experience. Definitely deserves a high stop in the stash and can be stashed in the freezer for dark days ahead of FDN Judgement Day
Very controlled energy and focus. I experienced a lot of drive and focus. Made me want to kill the weights. 💪 Pump wasn’t too noticeable but endurance focus and drive definitely made up for it. I strongly recommend this for a daily stim that will get you going. It hits after about 15 minutes and makes you a beast with the weights. I’ve noticed the focus lasts a nice while. About maybe 6 hours for me. The pre itself lasts about 30 minutes - 1 hour. Doesn’t last too long with me. A must try for all the stim junkies looking for new powerful stuns to try to get that high only stims can get. Endurance was crazy as well. Was a crazy fun stim and to wrap this up the main positives are the endurance, focus, drive, and energy.
Where to even start man. The energy alone this thing provides makes me unable to sit still, even on half a scoop. On days where i did full scoops i fell like i was vibrating with pure joy and drive, this shit makes me fucking angry in the best way possible. I am not the type of person that is able to channel anger into power at the gym, until i found this pre at the local crack shack. Put on some good music and close your eyes for a second and you can just feel your body vibrating. 11/10 pre workout, this is my favorite out of all the pres i’ve ever had. i recommend to anyone who wants the strongest shit around cuz ain’t nothing better than this. the come down from this is horrible however, i normally have to sleep it off, but the 4-5 hours before then is probably the best moments of my life. it’s hard to explain you just have to try it. maybe im personally a hyper responder to dmaa but no other preworkout has ever hit this hard. the pump is very mid, but this pre is made for power not sexiness. Starspangled Bloodshot tastes just like a bomb pop popsicle, like spot on.
So, this being my introduction to dmha, alpha yohimbine and eria jerensis I have to say this is a solid smooth ride with the perfect aggression from the alpha yohimbine preworkout. The flavor was alright its supposed to be tropical mango which I ordered but its just tastes like sour cherry, pretty mid but who cares about the flavour anyways. This preworkout has great solid juicy pumps from the 10 grams of citruline and the beta alanine tingles are solid aswell. The focus on this is amazing with that very aware awake type focus and that muscle mind connection. The mood elevation is there, happy talkative mood plus the restless energy and aggression from the alpha yohimbine. There is some noticeable increased power output, some exercises feel lighter than usual. Had some negative side effects in the beginning like an upset stomach and stomach ache after couple of hours after ingestion but that when away for some reason after a couple of uses. Overall super solid pre workout would highly recommend
Just to clarify I'm talking specifically about the 09/2026 batch wich is an older batch than the current one. This product from koka labz from personal non biased experience was a false advertised bunk product. It did not contain DMAA neither DMHA on the specific batch. This being my introduction to exotic stimulants back in july of 2025 was a huge let down and money wasted (68€ plus shipping). I ran it max up to 3 - 3,5 scoops and it only amplified the sweating and jitters from the yohimbine and synephrine. I've heard similar experiences from the same batch, some people saying it was weak and needed at least 3 scoops to feel it, some others had the same experience as me, basically getting a caffeine, synephrine yohimbine batch plus the other pump ingredients but not the exotic stimulants. I personally would not recommend the gamble, some people say it definitely has the exotic stims in there and some others like me saying its bunk.
As I write this I have tried every version of Hooligan with similiar effects and results. The taste of every flavour was harsh and heavy on the stomach which is odd as apple bareknuckle by the same company I found to be extremely tasty. The beta alanine took a while to kick in but was very strong and the energy and focus followed, however I must immediately iterate that regardless of which version of Hooligan I was left largely underwhelmed. When a product has such a large amount of different varieties of caffeine and lots of nootropics it simply should hit much harder, the pumps were great however. I found Lionheart to hit harder and better than Hooligan which simply should not be possible given the differential in stimulants included, this leads me to think Hooligan is taxing your adrenal glands for not enough result. With the high price I would not recommend any version of Hooligan.
To begin with the taste, it was orange burst and it was among the worst pre's i've ever tasted.. Nader had the same experience on his YouTube review also, it tends to repeat on you as well for an hour or so post consumption. To the effects, it is genuinely one of the best effective pre's of the past few years. The energy kicked in very swiftly, within 20 minutes and it was a builder.. the euphoria and focus were kicking but in a very enjoyable fashion. It continued and levelled out at the 2 hour mark and the overall effects lasted around 8 hours with zero crash. The happy vibe from it and lack of side effects caused me to never have anything short of an amazing workout while on Explosion, the pumps were potent also. The only two drawbacks are the taste being bad and the fact that this product is very prone to clumping but I would still recommend it.
I had the lemon flavour and it wasn't the worst but not nice, very strong artificial lemon taste that lingers. The pre kicked in fast and the beta alanine tingles were potent, the energy took around 20 minutes to activate and that grew for another hour and stabilised. I would say it lasted around 6 hours without a harsh crash, I found it to be lacking in the nootropic/focus realm. It's a great pre workout for the simplicity of the ingredient panel but I found it to hit best when I had taken a sleep formula the night before containing phen, this synergy made the mood elevation go to another dimension and i'll say of all the 2amino pre's i've tried this approach with Hybrid stood alone as the best synergy. The pumps were surprisingly good and it was effective for any style of workout, nice to have a yohimbine free euphoria pre on the market. I must note my tub had a version of eria jarensis known as Ignitro which is rare to see as usually if that ingredient is in patented form it's as EriaPuro. I would recommend Hybrid.
There’s been a lot of mixed reviews on this pre workout. Whether it’s batch discrepancies or some people not responding to it. But for me, this ranks on the top 5 pre workouts I’ve used. It gave me such an incredible sense of euphoria and mood uplift that any other pre has given me. It gives great energy to power you through your workout. There’s little to no pump formula in this, so be sure to stack a pump on top of this if that’s important to you. I didn’t get any crash from this, just a good amount of energy to get through my workout and will slowly die down as you finish. I would definitely recommend this to anyone but just keep in mind some people don’t respond and apparently there’s some batches that aren’t hitting as good as others.
