We know the feeling…
It feels like every other pre workout is full of fluff ingredients and weak stimulants.
Or they try to maximize energy with high doses of stims like 600mg caffeine.
While those work, there's next level energy with DMAA.
Below you'll find the best supplements with this exotic stimulant...
Crack packs 120mg DMAA along with nitrate based nitric oxide boosters.
It also features ergogenic aids and loads of stimulants but the N.O. ingredients will reduce the negative side effects of DMAA.
Another store that has Crack can be found here.

Herolean is a unique pre workout from Dark Labs, and it's considered to be the strongest thermogenic pre workout with not only DMAA but also DMHA and eria jarensis.
The only downside is the yohimbine dosage, coming from yohimbine (10mg) and alpha yo (3mg).
If you can get past the yohimbine, this is one of the best to use.
There's also two stores that has this, this one and this one.

Turn any caffeinated pre workout into an exotic one with bulk DMAA from BulkStimulants.
The only downside is that you need a milligram scale or you won't be able to accurately measure it but you'll have months worth of DMAA.
This is the same site that supplies the mood enhancing Eria Jarensis, and the aggressive stimulant Amp Citrate.
Update 03/29/21:
Magnitude Life Sciences (Dark Energy), Static Labz, Atlas Labs, God Status Labz are no longer producing DMAA pre workouts.
This is it.
Dark Energy is completely sold out and discontinued (soon Static Labz will follow), but don't worry, we have plenty of alternatives (for now).
A few years ago we were ready to delete this page and call it “DMAA: the Legend of a Stimulant”.
Now DMAA is everywhere, it's hard to not find it.
Although you'll never know when things turn over and suddenly find DMAA impossible to find, we're always updating this page with the latest pre workouts.
So before we're adding this section as a “coming soon” for DMAA pre workouts that haven't been added to this page yet.
While this list contains everything that has DMAA, it doesn't mean I've enjoyed them all.
The synergy between some ingredients are just better in some supplements.
For example, I like Dark Energy, but I prefer it for workouts that isn't going to be too intense.
If I'm chatting to mates between sets, I'll find myself too good in a mood to break from the conversation and return back to my workout.
Dark Energy does have decent focus and energy, but you may find the addition of GABA to slow down the potent effects of the stimulants and it does produce some intense euphoria.
So for more intense energy and hard training, we would recommend either Herolean or Crack.
Here's my favorite DMAA pre workouts:
Herolean is amazing for fat burning, while Crack is geared more towards muscle and strength building.
The Ripper is a pill based fat burner, similar to Herolean, in that it combines GBBGO with DMAA.
If you still have trouble deciding, email me or DM me on Instagram (nadergains).
If you're looking for pre workouts that's as strong as ones here, but without DMAA, then check out Chaos and Pain's Cannibal Ferox.
The best products to stack for maximum results include these muscle building stacks and these anabolic supplements that are like steroids.
While DMHA is nice and smooth, it isn't as hard hitting as DMAA is.
So these are current supplements that contain the hardcore stimulant, 1,3 Dimethylamylamine.
If you're looking for a ranking list, check out the strongest pre workout list.
Combining this powerful stimulant with a natural compound like Laxogenin will not only increase thermogenesis but you'll also maintain or even increase strength.
You can take things to the next level with Halodrol (see the ranked prohormones here).
Testosterone boosters may have a similar effect as they can help maintain hormone levels and enhance recovery.
You won't be able to find the original OxyElite Pro formula, but you'll find even better supplements here.
Yes this is pure DMAA.
You can get DMAA in bulk.
This is the cheapest way to turn any pre workout into a hardcore one.
Check out my review here and see how you can use it.
Imagine your boring pre workout that has only about 200-300mg caffeine…
I recommend stocking up on this because honestly the future for DMAA is not looking bright.
DMAA is strong when it's combined with stimulants like caffeine.
For research purposes, measure 50-60mg of this, the peak will be felt around 60 minutes after taking it, and it'll last for around 4 hours.
It leads to more motivation, energy, and a clearer mind.
You can make your own pre workout by either combining bulk ingredients, or using a non-stim fat burner like Caliente by ASC Supplements to create your own version of Herolean, but with even better thermogenics.
While this comes with a 5mg scoop, it's useless as the powder can clump up and it won't always be consistent. It's better to use a milligram scale like this one.
Overall, this is the one and only way to get DMAA in bulk, and it's as pure as it can get.
Similarly, you can also get DMHA and eria jarensis from the same source.
So far, this is the only source where you can buy pure DMAA.
You can make your own pre workout with DMAA, and add caffeine and your own bulk powders from here.
When it comes to DMHA and DMAA, there are a few pre workouts that contain both.
Actually there's far fewer than before.
Sharp AMX contains 100mg DMHA and 100mg DMAA, combined with 350mg caffeine, you're getting a nice blend of hard hitting stimulants.
It also has some ergogenic aids to help with pumps, endurance and vascularity.
There's a little blend of vanadyl sulfate and electrolytes.
Vanadyl works similar to insulin, in that it can lower blood sugar.
While it's strange to see in a pre workout, some may appreciate this.

Holy DMAA!
I know what you're thinking, there's enough DMAA supplements out there, what's special about this one?
Dark Labs for one thing, if you see their logo, then you'll know they are doing something special.
Turn Ripper around, and you'll not only see 100mg DMAA, but you'll also see 50mg ProGBB.
ProGBB is an ingredient that'll make you sweat buckets.
It's rarely paired with DMAA, and when it is, it makes for a mighty strong fat burning combo.
There is a catch though.
Ripper contains 3 different forms of yohimbine dosed at 5mg each, coming up to a total of 15mg.
With yohimbine, alpha yohimbine, and hydroxy yohimbine, it's going to make for quite a potent fat burning combo.
If you're sensitive to yohimbine, you might want to skip this one.
The good news is that there's 60 servings of Ripper here, making it last 2 months easily, as you'll never need more than one serving in a day.

You might want to look at Adrenaline if you prefer less yohimbine.
Here's our review on Adrenaline and Ripper.
This formula is huge.
Final Call by BS Supplements is a DMAA containing pre workout with a scoop that's the size of a protein powder.
Every scoop is packed with 115mg DMAA, 300mg caffeine and a bunch of ergogenic aids.
And the pumps are going to be huge with 1.5g agmatine, alpha GPC and norvaline.
Interestingly enough it also has ephedra, but that's likely not to contain any ephedrine.
It is a pre workout that has no crash, amazing focus and great energy.
The DMAA feels more like 70-80mg, but this could be because the nitric oxide boosters help ease the jitters by reducing blood pressure.
Overall though Final Call is an incredible pre workout.

If there was a pre workout that was to compete with Jack3d way back in 2008, then Fuze would be it.
It has DMAA at a big dose of 100mg, along with 100mg synephrine, 400mg caffeine.
The only downside, hence why we say it would compete with a pre workout like Jack3d is because of the big prop blend which contains 4 performance enhancers, agmatine, hordenine, beta alanine and taurine.
Crack Reloaded is the latest pre workout from Dark Labs containing 500mg eria jarensis, loads of stimulants and doesn't have DMHA or DMAA.
(Read the review on Reloaded here)
The Gold Edition comes and goes quickly so if you see in stock, jump on it.
Crack is a hardcore pre workout that has come from one of the cooler looking companies we’ve seen so far.
More unique pre workouts by Dark Labs:
Typically the most DMAA you should expect in a pre workout like this is no more than 75mg because dosages more than this can elevate blood pressure.
Since this has a strong combination of nitric oxide boosters, it will help increase blood flow and in return, help maintain normal blood pressure levels.
Still, there’s 400mg caffeine if you’re taking a full serving.
We recommend taking one scoop, which is half a serving, or even less and you’ll still be getting generous amounts of ergogenic aids and more.
The nitric oxide boosters in here will help reduce blood pressure and help increase the much needed vasodilation after taking such a strong pre workout.

A simple formula with DMAA might seem hard to find these days.
Ravage is a hardcore 100mg DMAA pre workout with citrulline, beta alanine and glycerpump.
It also has 350mg caffeine, and 2.5mg yohimbine for more energy and alertness.
The ergogenic aids are properly dosed here with clinical dosages to help with endurance and pumps.
DMAA here is dosed a bit higher than it should be but take a little less than a serving and you'll still get plenty of energy and performance boosting benefits.

This is a company that we haven't heard of before, but they have a good DMAA pre workout here.
With 75mg DMAA, 375mg caffeine and much more, you'll be full of energy and focus.
The ergogenic aids are dosed barely enough, but at least it isn't microdosed or hidden in prop blends.
Crush'd is an affordable pre workout with lots going on with stimulants and decent pump aids.

Mesomorph used to be one of the best pre workouts with DMAA.
Then it was reformulated without DMAA.
And then again it was reformulated and now it not only has DMAA but it also has DMHA.
However, they now call it geranium extract, perhaps to keep themselves safe from being targeted for containing the strong stimulant by the authorities.
And it may not hit the same, honestly it might be a labelling trick, as this doesn't hit as hard as the original.
It's nearly as good as ever and the pumps are great, this is one to try for old times sake.

Shadow Black is the type of pre workout that will hit your craving for DMAA and some more.
The company is fairly new to us, but the label is at least fully disclosed.
It packs ergogenic aids and stimulants.
The ingredients are mostly stimulants though, with just enough alpha yohimbine to make you love or hate this formula.
With 100mg DMAA, 350mg caffeine, 200mg eria jarensis, and more, it's going to make you feel really good.

This is likely looking like a kitchen sink formula.
Firestorm contains a lot of ingredients that vary from stimulants, to some ergogenic aids.
While it contains a fairly full dose of beta alanine, at 3 grams, everything else, from citrulline to arginine is underdosed.
Arginine is questionable, in that it barely does anything for pumps.
Other than that, there's loads of stimulants that makes it a very potent DMAA pwo.
It has 50mg DMAA and 120mg DMHA, making it a little lighter than Crack Gold in exotic stimulants.
But it still has loads of stimulants that makes it very strong.
Use discount FITFREK.
When it comes to thermogenics and DMAA, there are very few options these days.
Frenzy Labs has a line up of hardcore supplements, and a DMAA fat burner is one of them.
This is Diced Up, it has 75mg DMAA along with ephedra and a whole bunch more.
It's an affordable fat burner but it's still very strong.
You can use discount code FITFREK to save on this.
At a time where DMAA is hard to find, expensive and almost banned from being sold, Anti Hero Labs is not one to hide.
They've brought out a pre workout with 100mg DMAA with a whole bunch of hard hitting ingredients.
Venom is not only a pre workout but also a fat burner as it has 350mg caffeine, ephedra, and synephrine, which will unleash havoc on fat.
It's 100mg dose of DMAA is a bit on the high side and it might cause the common side effects like higher blood pressure, as it is above the 70mg dose.
Take less than a scoop and you'll be in the safe zone of those side effects.

Herolean has both DMHA and DMAA and a whole load of thermogenics to help with energy and fat burning.
It's fully disclosed with 100mg DMAA, 200mg DMHA, and 250mg eria jarensis.
This is one of the few DMAA based with this much of a kick.
And because it doesn't have GABA like Dark Energy, this is definitely stronger and will drive you to sweat and you'll be filled with energy.
It's packed with several stims but the downside is that the yohimbine dose is higher than average, and some may be turned off by this.
Personally I can use 15mg of yohimbine without issues but some people are sensitive to this. You can take half a serving if you are.
It's also ranked in our top 10 fat burner guide.
This is probably the best alternative to OxyElite Pro, or really any DMAA fat burner.
The best price we found for Herolean is $48 without any discount code needed.

Jack3d is one of the legendary pre workouts, if not, the only one that started the DMAA trend.
It's back with the combination of stimulants like DMAA, DMHA, caffeine and more.
The formula is nearly the same, and that means yes, arginine is still here along with a prop blend of creatine and beta alanine.
The only stimulants that are disclosed is DMAA and caffeine.
If you want the full hard hitting doses of 75mg DMAA and 405mg caffeine, you'll need to use 3 scoops.
It does also have DMHA, which is rarely combined with DMAA.
And DMHA is suppose to be the mild alternative to DMAA.
Jack3d is super mild compared to other DMHA / DMAA pre workouts, so we don't recommend it.
Once in a while we find a gem that we simply can't ignore.
Usually, a DMAA pre workout would have blends hidden in a prop blend, especially from a company we've never heard of.
But Irate by Juggernaut Nutrition is different and has every ingredient disclosed.
At 70mg DMAA per scoop and 300mg caffeine from 2 different forms, you'll be getting a nice flow of energy for a nice period of time.
The price could be better but considering the shortage of DMAA supplements out there, it's more than fair.

D-Cut is a fat burner that uses effective ingredients for increased thermogenesis.
It is decently strong with 40mg DMAA, 250mg caffeine and synephrine.
Hordenine is included to help prolong the effects of stimulants here so you'll be less likely to experience a crash.
There's even ephedra along with ingredients to help with thyroid function and more.
This is definitely one to try to burn fat.
Rated R is another DMAA containing pre workout that contains a simple but effective formula for enhancing focus and energy.
While it does contain taurine, beta alanine and agmatine, Rated R contains mostly stimulants so you'll feel amped up for your workouts.
The big 350mg dose of caffeine is more than enough to supply long lasting energy.
DMAA is maxed out at 80mg and it also contains Alpha GPC, a premium choline source for enhancing focus and mental function.
Caffeine and DMAA are the only two ingredients that seem to have their doses disclosed.
Everything else is in a prop blend, but otherwise Rated R is up there for having DMAA and caffeine at maximum doses.
Is DMAA banned?
It's close to being banned!
Some countries have officially banned DMAA, like Australia but there are plenty of supplements that feature this hard hitting stimulant.
While you can't get the original OxyElite Pro, you can get even better options from this page.
There isn't any evidence that DMAA is any more dangerous than caffeine. Both of these stimulants are dangerous if used irresponsibly.
There has been lawsuits against Jack3d.
But none of them have won against UPSLabs and recently the latest one has been dismissed by a court judge.
Here's a quote from Jared Wheat of Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals:
"We have sold over 200 million doses of DMAA with no serious AERs. We will have our expert report from our toxicologist ready next week and will share with PricePlow. It shows DMAA has fewer AERs than Vitamin C per amount consumed, which backs up the safety of the compound and there is no evidence establishing that DMAA containing products are causally associated with adverse events.”
While these supplements are highly potent, you don't want to take them on a daily basis.
Unless you see yourself take a stim break for a week or two.
The best way to keep tolerance in check is to use these stimulants in moderation.
The less you use them, the harder they'll hit.
A general guideline we like to use is using these types of pre workouts up to 3 times a week, optimally twice a week, and maximum up to 4 times a week.
If you don't get any energy from pre workouts high amounts of caffeine and exotic stimulants than you badly need to kick back and take a stim break.
You would need at least a month break, up to 2 months or more if you feel up for it.
If you must take caffeine, take it at moderate doses, between 50-150mg.
Taper down per week until you get to little to no caffeine.
This list is constantly being updated and more DMAA based supplements are being added…
