One of my favorite heavy hitter the sledgehammer of Dark Labs pre workouts. It's a thing of a beauty. I keep it for my most heavy, hardcore workouts where nothing works anymore and I know Barbarian gonna step in and make the weights go light so I can progress the lifts. After stim break I do not take it only closer to stim break or when my tolerance is relatively high. That's when I can enjoy and rip the benefits without being overwhelmed or feeling is too much. This is aggressive pre, I feel the rage and desire to destroy the weights, just attacking every set. You are so focused and concentrated on the next set you are about to do, you don't even pay attention whatever going around you, if people look at you or what music is playing. Grape flavor is nice. Pumps are good but I always stack pump formula on top like Warlord. Mind muscle connection isn't the star of the of this pre, unlike Crack Purple 120mg, you don't feel anything. No pain no muscle contractions, no aches, just moving weights from A to B. There's also secret stacker formula designed by Doctor MM. The formula is to mix Excelsior and Barbarian with different doses and I have tried this mix and absolutely loved it. It's even better than Barbarian alone.

This is a special pre..

The taste was really not nice but in a smaller amount of water it wasn't as bad.

The effects were active fast and I mean it began in under 15 minutes!

This feeling grew over the next 40 minutes and strangely a final kick occurred around 90-120 minutes in..

I had amazing mind muscle control and my endurance even with heavy weights was heightened to the upmost degree.

I found the effects lasted around 10 hours and I didn't crash, however the tolerance with this pre grows more than almost any other pre so only use it once every 7-10 days or the euphoria noticeably lessens and fast!

I would say music was much more enjoyable on this and the pumps were even potent with this product..

I would certainly recommend it.

I’ve tried various doses of Crack Barbarian because on first attempt, 1 scoop was too strong. I completed a killer workout but afterwards felt like I was still ready for more and probably too stimmed for the day to start. After that I tried a half scoop and it felt like it just wasn’t enough. I completed a workout at 3/4 of a scoop which seemed perfect to me. After a few uses of 3/4 scoops, I found myself back at a full scoop and came to really enjoy this pre workout. What sets this one apart from the other varieties of crack is the DMBA. At 100mg it’s a hefty dose that brings in the physical euphoria, almost like you’re working out from a 3rd person perspective.

The DMHA at 200mg along with 500mg of eria jarensis, and 750 of BPEA really bring in such a euphoric head buzz that brings about a giddiness when coming up to challenging sets of weights. This pre workout is one that delivers on performance and productivity. I’ve found myself saying things like “this is what they need to be feeding the troops in front line combat zones” and “this is perfect for committing war crimes!” I feel myself being extra aggressive with the weights where failure is never an option. I often find myself murdering the weights in cold blood but in a harmonious and rhythmic manner with the music because this is one of those that really makes the music more enjoyable, in combination with the workout.

The pumps are pretty good, 6000mg of citrulline malate but it’s supported by a gram of agmatine sulphate. I wouldn’t be the best to review the clinical 3.2grams often found in pre workouts because I feel like I’m too accustomed to the tingles at this point. The alpha GPC at 500 mg each don’t really mean too much to me. I definitely get more from the three types of caffeine, especially the fast acting caffeine citrate. That long lasting stimmed up effect that I mentioned is likely due to the alpha yohimbine, the DMBA and DMHA. I feel like DMBA especially, seems to last me for a long time. I’ve compared this to Euphoria by star lab nutrition because of the DMBA content and that “third person” feeling while working out. The difference is that I crash pretty hard from Euphoria, I still don’t know if I’ve ever come down from the first time I’ve taken Barbarian.

The flavor is grape and it’s probably the least offensive tasting Dark Labs product out there.
