This pre workout tasted not very nice but not awful for a strong product, mid range in that area. I almost didn't want to purchase this based on the fact it uses a proprietary blend which in the modern age of pre's is simply unacceptable, we the consumer should know what doses of fat burners and stims we are consuming. Now to the real world effects... It took only around 15 minutes for me to start feeling it and this grew for a further 40 or minutes. I found the mood uplift and energy to be quite enjoyable, but I felt very little nootropic style focus which is something I enjoy in these products. It was fine for any style workout I tried it on and even cardio. I found it lasted around 6 hours and the crash wasn't too noticeable if at all. Overall I would not recommend this product due to the price being high, prop blend, not tasty flavours and the fact that there are too many pre's that hit harder in this high stim category.

I have tried both versions of this but this review will be speaking about the most recent version. The taste of any of the flavours was never enjoyable but not terrible, chug and hope the effects are worth it type of taste. The effects were fast acting and enjoyable, this probably is due to the fairly unique blend of methyl synephrine, 2amino and dmba. I found myself focused but not so much so that you end up in fact scatter brained and my cardio sessions were so easy as were any weighted exercises. I found it had a good mixture of focus, energy and shockingly powerful pumps. Overall I would advise buying this pre workout as there's nothing really like it on the market and having tried a lot of Frenzy Labs products they never underwhelm.
The trick or treat flavour was simply dreadful, a chemical pumpkin spicy taste that I would taste if burping even hours after consumption.. but flavour is not why we buy these products. I have taken it at 2, 3 and 4 scoops but I imagine most will be using 2 or 3 so I will touch on the experience with 3 scoops. It took quite a while to kick in, maybe 35 minutes and when it did it was quite strong indeed.. I found myself extremely strong on this pre workout and I had great muscle endurance, the effects lasted around 8 hours and no crash ever occured. Focus and mood elevation are around equal and music is more enjoyable but pumps were lacking. I just wish it tasted better as there are other products equally strong that I don't dread just on that basis. Overall I would recommend this pre but it's not quite as strong as the ingredient list would have you think.
Like the title, this is one of the older pres that is amazing, but it might get lost with how many are coming out that are also solid. I took this 30 minutes before my lift started, fullish stomach and added some liquid qlycerol just because this is not a pump pre. So it was 11g of Hyper and 20G of LQ. 15 minutes after, I started to feel it and it slowly climed to an amazing peak. I was extremely focused, the music was 3D and the weights were moved with no thought. Surprisingly, this was also very euphoric. To me, it was JUST too much, because it was easy to get focused on something else and just vibe after a set. There was not much aggression with this pre so just a heads up. There was not much of a crasah either. I took this at 5:30am and was only getting tired around 9pm with no other caffiene or stimulants to carry me through the day. I would say this pre is best when you are working out alone, and working a muscle group you enjoy the best. I would highly recommend this pre to someone who like the mix of euphoria and focus rather than aggression and focus.
I initially bought this because I had a NutriCartle gift card and the mason jar looking pre was catching my eye. When arrived, I noticed that the ingredients listed per serving added up to 11g and the serving is 20g which raised a red flag. I started with 15g to be "safe". This pre hit me so hard, I did not know how zoned in I was until it was pointed out to me. Once that was said, I realized that; I did not say a word for 20 minutes besides the weight I wanted on the bar, I had no emotion, and I was lifting more. I keep track of every major lift every workout and I promise this was the reason I did 405lbs on hack squat for 8 reps CLEAN. The pump was actually insane as well from the glycerol, but the star of the show is aggression and the focus. This was perfect for a heavy-lifting leg day and was my go to 2-3 times a month. However, sleep was impacted in a pretty bad way. Even taking this at 8am, I was staring at my ceiling until 2:30am. I would have understood my mistake if I took a strong pre 4-6 hours before bed, but this was almost a 16 hour gap in between leaving the gym and laying down. What also concerned me was the 9g difference in serving size weight and ingredient per serving weight. I understand that some companies add a little extra, but I have not seen another pre with more than a 1-2g difference. 9g is a little too much to not know about and I could not ignore it. All in all, a SICK pre to move some weight like nothing, be extremely focused, and not wanting to leave the gym for hours. But the sides did outweigh it for me. It is not for everyone
Took three scoops (15g) of dexter today. The taste was not great, but who gives a fuck about flavor! I would say it took about 15-20 minutes before the energy and mood elevation came in pretty quickly and stuck throughout the workout. I was just in a great mood the entire time and really enjoying myself. Nice slight head buzz and focused on the weights. Got PRs on every lift and had great confidence in all of my lifts. No drama and no crash. The pumps were not anything special on this. Writing this several hours after the workout and I'm just still in a great mood and have that nice little head buzz going on. I would compare this to a slightly less euphoric aventador and slightly less focus than killswitch.
The flavour I had was apple and it was a bit on the chemically taste spectrum but not the worst i've had. The product kicked in extremely quickly as in under ten minutes, I think the caffeine citrate is the warning shot and then the more illicit stims join in on the party. I found it gave extreme energy and mood uplift for a good 10 hours, if not more. Weights felt lighter than normal and I had to force myself to stop working out! It is easily one of the strongest products currently available on the market and I look forward to it every time Legit is next on my to consume list. There was no crash and it never felt unhealthy. I would say certainly buy a tub or two as it's a gem some in recent times have not been thinking of.
This was the latest in many products I have tried from this company and overall I liked it better than smack v1 and smack v2! Taste was not great but not the worst. The effects took about 25 minutes to activate and there is no beta included so no tingles. This is a really amazing product ticking many boxes I look for in a pre workout, the effects last for a good 8 hours. It is absolutely loaded with the kitchen sink of nootropics and fat burner ingredients. You get only 20 servings at the full dose and the taste is not good but these are the only two things in a negative regard I can come up with. I found it was not only amazing for gruelling workouts but the after buzz for social settings was a nice bonus! I would certainly recommend it.
The effects kicked in within 10 minutes, I felt moderate beta tingles and then throughout the first hour the alpha yo effects such as fight or flight and nose drip occurred. I have gone through a lot of flavours of this product and all are perfect, possibly the best in the industry. Overall the energy lasted around four hours and there was not a large crash, I found it to be great for any workout but not cardio at a full scoop as it impacts breathing too much. This is a very popular product and quite versatile as you can stack a third or half scoop to many pre workouts as it has some of the purest yo in the pre workout realm. I would say half of this with half of a focus hitter pre workout is a good option! I like the product but think in the focus department it's very lacking..
Ninja unleashed by the company Ninja up is next up.. First, the taste was not very nice but not the worst on the market. The pre kicked in very fast and that energy proceeded to grow in a stable manner for at least an hour. I found the pumps to be great and I felt much stronger while on this particular product. The blend of pumps, energy and focus had a smooth symbiotic relationship. I found the effects of energy lasted around 5 hours with no crash at all. Overall this is one of the strongest products to not contain illicit stimulants and thus may be partially the reason behind there being no crash in energy later in the day even though it is a very potent pre workout. I would certainly recommend this pre.
I have tried most flavours and taste is not great but the effects are worth it. After the consumption of the pre I found it took about thirty to forty minutes to truly kick in and when it did I was met with a sense of well being and positivity that lasted 6 hours. Even entire body workouts felt very easy and music was especially heightened by this product. Pumps were very solid and the focus and head high was very apparent. There was no large crash at all and it seemed to just softly fade away in a nice way that didn't make me too tired or need a nap. I think even the current batch is worth a purchase if you want a 2 amino hitter that doesn't contain yohimbine, this is quite rare these days as lots of companies combine the two.
The Jef.. one of the most popular pre workouts on the market by a company I respect. Firstly the flavours are not great compared to some of their other products but nothing too nasty and we all care more about the effects! I find this product kicks in quicker than most pre workouts and I can pinpoint the activation of particular ingredients in real time, this could be a sign of excellent sourcing. The effects last around 6 hours with no crash at all, I feel strong on this product and the pumps are powerful considering it's more known as a stim package. I would recommend this product but Extremis Cartel also have Neuro and Fuego which I prefer both in taste and effects, so really it comes down to personal choice.
