Excelsior

Straight to the point, this is one of my favourite products ever on the market. The taste is a dream, as good as edge of insanity in the sense where I look forward to it every single time. The effects take around 35-40 minutes to come in and when they do you are hit with a level of focus almost nothing can match on the pre workout market. It lasts intensely for around 10 hours with no big crash. I find it to be incredibly versatile in the sense where you can do any kind of workout on it or cardio without it spiking your heartrate but in social settings and household tasks it shines even more.. It allows even the most boring of task seem like a breeze and even music sounds much cleaner while the effects are active. I would certainly recommend it.

For the long time I've been hearing how Excelsior pre-workout is one of the best super illicit hitters. But because of the price and it's being sold overseas only in UK I never was interested to get a whole tub. Ruesco restocked Excelsior and I got a couple samples from there and also Exoticsuppdad Amol sent me a couple servings of samples of that as well to try it out. Experience: I was very skeptical and I was very scared as well to take the Pre-Workout because there was reviews where people got bad side effects from it but most of it had a great workout so I took it with no pump formula was stacked. I was expecting to get some closer experience to Juiced which I have tried and didn't enjoy, that drugged out, Hyper focused state kind of experience. But it was not like that to my surprise. It only has one flavor which is fruit punch and it's very generic fruit punch flavor that is enjoyable easy to drink and taste really nice. The build-up took around 45 minutes to reach it s full effect, but still after that I kinda expecting it to go up even more, because people are saying this is all day experience. But it didn't go beyond that which I really liked. Workout itself was very productive, I was calm and collected, hitting sets and exercises right after one another, progressing all my lifts, reps and weights which is my priority in my training style. I wanted to drink water more than usual, but I observed no side effects or weirdness from it. It's was very smooth, nice experience at all times I took it. Didn't felt like I was stimmed up or its too much. It had some illicit floaty feeling to it at times but overall I wouldn't call it super illicit or underground. It varies from batch to batch as well. So people constantly comparing their batches, expiry dates and tubs. What I got is 06/27. Another way that I discovered to use was to stack it with Crack Barbarian. Idea came from MeatyMorsels and I think originally it was Nigels idea lol But the truth is that combination does work and they perform better together, personally for me. So I'm not recommending to mix it to anyone. You can add pump formulas on top of it. It would definitely enhance mind muscle connection too. Bottom line is if you are fan of such pre workouts you can get it, but I'm personally not interested paying 110$ for a tub, it's just me. Far more better and cheaper options out there are available.

I mixed a full serving ( 6 grams ) of Excelsior into cold water and the taste was mind blowingly good, I would give it 10/10 for taste which is not the main thing i'm looking for with a pre workout but it is a nice bonus to not dread a bitter chemical taste that is quite common with these products. The effects took hold at around the 35 minute mark and grew for an hour then stabilised. I noticed a vast mood elevation and focus that was so potent I have to say the strongest in that regard of any pre. Any task felt like a breeze even if it would typically be a drag and it made a 2 hour full body workout feel so effortless and easy that I had to force myself to stop lifting. I felt no extra pumps in terms of vaso dilation ingredients we are used to with pre's but this was countered by how strong the focus was that pumps were forced. Overall this is one of the best pre's of all time from top to bottom in my opinion with the only drawback being the price point being high and seemingly growing year by year, luckily unlike most strong pre workouts they do give a nice 30 servings. Overall i'd give it a 9/10 and it would be a 10 if it was lower in price, it's something to use on special occasions as it seems to raise your tolerance to other pre workouts quite a lot if used with too much frequency.

I bought Excelsior (06/24) and used it sporadically both as a study aid and a preworkout up until early 2024. As a nootropic, I used 0.5-1 scoop. At this dose, Excelsior is hands-down the best tunnel-vision focus and sit-in-one-place type energy I’ve got from a supplement. In the same league as prescription stimulants like ritalin, vyvanse, etc. No significant side effects at this dose. As a preworkout, I mostly used 1.5 scoops (2 on special occasions). The caffeine energy (I estimate ~350-400mg on full 2 scoops) kicks in ~10-15 minutes after taking. The initial physical caffeine energy is quite strong and increases your heart rate. ~30 minutes in you get a wave of next-level focus, euphoria, and mental motivation. This builds for another half hour then plateaus until after your workout. The euphoria and energetic drive is insane. I was locked in, lifting like a machine, feeling like I was flying, and music sounded great. The focus, mental energy and head high is far more intense than anything you'd get from a DMHA/DMAA based pre. Strong thermogenic effect and long-lasting appetite suppression. Minimal extra pumps. But no one cares in this context. You get pumped because of how hard you're working, not because of any citrulline or whatever that may or may not actually be in the tub (as someone else here said, this label is a work of fiction). There’s a crash after ~3-4 hours, reminiscent of a ritalin comedown but probably worse. When you’re up, the feeling is quite ‘clean’; the comedown is pretty ‘dirty’ and uncomfortable: you don’t feel good. I think I threw up once. Sometimes I would fall asleep and wake up in a pool of sweat; other times I managed to use the focus to do some work. DO NOT TAKE IN LATE AFTERNOON OR EVENING: it will keep you awake at night. The actual effects last about 3 hours, but it's still in your system for at least 8+. These effects make sense given that it almost definitely contains some illicit research chemical not on label. People on Reddit rumour that earlier batches had 3-FMA and that later ones (around my 06/24) had Ethylphenidate. But nothing is proven for certain so take that with a grain of salt, and I've no idea what might be in the even newer batches. Not sure where to buy retail now, though I've seen tubs on ebay going for >$200. TLDR: 0.5-1 scoops is the best non-prescription nootropic I've used for focus. 1.5-2 scoops is a strong energy preworkout with next-level illicit focus and euphoria. Best pre-workout I've had. Will surely go down in the annals of pre-workout history with the likes of Craze and Dark Energy as one of the greats. However, we do not know what is in there so please be responsible and check with your doctor if you plan to use.

This review is based off the exp:7/26 as it is the only batch of excelsior I have tried. This is a very versatile and very unique pre workout. In most cases when I review a product, I like to list the most noticeable ingredients or ingredients effects. In this case I don’t believe the label whatsoever. I believe the label is a work of fiction and I don’t even believe it has citrulline like the label says it does. With that being said, it is one of my favorites out there, definitely a top 3! When I take this one I almost always take it on a day where I can plan two separate workouts, or at the least I take it on a day where I can get a killer workout but expect a heavy workload. Within the first time I tried this, I didn’t think too much of it. I was disappointed at first and couldn’t tell what all the fuss was about. That was until it fully kicked in! Once it kicked in I didn’t want to stop! The euphoria, the feeling of wellbeing made this in fact very unique! I knew this was unique because I had a solid workout for an hour and a half, and then when I got home I cleaned my house, and even after that felt like I should go back to the gym for another round. On a separate occasion, I did just that. Another key factor is versatility. Going by feeling alone, I don’t feel much for pumps so I’ve tried this both with and without a pump formula. I’ve used this for high intensity cardio workouts and in those cases will use it without a pump formula. On most cases when I am training in the gym, I pair it with a half scoop of bloodsport or a scoop of Maniaco pump for a well rounded, hard hitting workout. Appetite suppression is for real with this. Although I take my pre workouts around 4:30am and am in the full swing of exercise by 5am, I’m usually ready for my protein shake by 8am. In the case of excelsior, I need to remind myself to take the protein shake. Aside from that, I can’t think of much else for side effects. Even the crash is manageable for me, perhaps since I take it so early in the morning by the time it wears off is about 12 hours later in most cases when I am just about finishing up my day. On that note, it would be foolish to take it in the afternoon and I never have even risked such a thing. Even the flavor is amazing! It tastes like Hawaiian Punch without any bitterness or aftertaste. There is some slight issue with cotton mouth but I always try my best to stay hydrated in the gym anyways. My biggest complaint is probably what you would hear from anyone else that has a tub of excelsior. It’s really expensive and really hard to get. There is also a very tempting element to re-dose which tells me that the unique, unnamed ingredient on the label is a bit more illicit than what we may know.

I noticed a vast mood elevation and focus that was so potent I have to say the strongest in that regard of any pre. Any task felt like a breeze even if it would typically be a drag and it made a 2 hour full body workout feel so effortless and easy that I had to force myself to stop lifting. I felt no extra pumps in terms of vaso dilation ingredients we are used to with pre's but this was countered by how strong the focus was that pumps were forced. Overall this is one of the best pre's of all time from top to bottom in my opinion with the only drawback being the price point being high and seemingly growing year by year, luckily unlike most strong pre workouts they do give a nice 30 servings. Overall i'd give it a 9/10 and it would be a 10 if it was lower in price, it's something to use on special occasions as it seems to raise your tolerance to other pre workouts quite a lot if used with too much frequency.

I bought Excelsior (06/24) and used it sporadically both as a study aid and a preworkout up until early 2024. As a nootropic, I used 0.5-1 scoop. At this dose, Excelsior is hands-down the best tunnel-vision focus and sit-in-one-place type energy I’ve got from a supplement. In the same league as prescription stimulants like ritalin, vyvanse, etc. No significant side effects at this dose. As a preworkout, I mostly used 1.5 scoops (2 on special occasions). The caffeine energy (I estimate ~350-400mg on full 2 scoops) kicks in ~10-15 minutes after taking. The initial physical caffeine energy is quite strong and increases your heart rate. ~30 minutes in you get a wave of next-level focus, euphoria, and mental motivation. This builds for another half hour then plateaus until after your workout. The euphoria and energetic drive is insane. I was locked in, lifting like a machine, feeling like I was flying, and music sounded great. The focus, mental energy and head high is far more intense than anything you'd get from a DMHA/DMAA based pre. Strong thermogenic effect and long-lasting appetite suppression. Minimal extra pumps. But no one cares in this context. You get pumped because of how hard you're working, not because of any citrulline or whatever that may or may not actually be in the tub (as someone else here said, this label is a work of fiction). There’s a crash after ~3-4 hours, reminiscent of a ritalin comedown but probably worse. When you’re up, the feeling is quite ‘clean’; the comedown is pretty ‘dirty’ and uncomfortable: you don’t feel good. I think I threw up once. Sometimes I would fall asleep and wake up in a pool of sweat; other times I managed to use the focus to do some work. DO NOT TAKE IN LATE AFTERNOON OR EVENING: it will keep you awake at night. The actual effects last about 3 hours, but it's still in your system for at least 8+. These effects make sense given that it almost definitely contains some illicit research chemical not on label. People on Reddit rumour that earlier batches had 3-FMA and that later ones (around my 06/24) had Ethylphenidate. But nothing is proven for certain so take that with a grain of salt, and I've no idea what might be in the even newer batches. Not sure where to buy retail now, though I've seen tubs on ebay going for >$200. TLDR: 0.5-1 scoops is the best non-prescription nootropic I've used for focus. 1.5-2 scoops is a strong energy preworkout with next-level illicit focus and euphoria. Best pre-workout I've had. Will surely go down in the annals of pre-workout history with the likes of Craze and Dark Energy as one of the greats. However, we do not know what is in there so please be responsible and check with your doctor if you plan to use.

This review is based off the exp:7/26 as it is the only batch of excelsior I have tried. This is a very versatile and very unique pre workout. In most cases when I review a product, I like to list the most noticeable ingredients or ingredients effects. In this case I don’t believe the label whatsoever. I believe the label is a work of fiction and I don’t even believe it has citrulline like the label says it does. With that being said, it is one of my favorites out there, definitely a top 3! When I take this one I almost always take it on a day where I can plan two separate workouts, or at the least I take it on a day where I can get a killer workout but expect a heavy workload. Within the first time I tried this, I didn’t think too much of it. I was disappointed at first and couldn’t tell what all the fuss was about. That was until it fully kicked in! Once it kicked in I didn’t want to stop! The euphoria, the feeling of wellbeing made this in fact very unique! I knew this was unique because I had a solid workout for an hour and a half, and then when I got home I cleaned my house, and even after that felt like I should go back to the gym for another round. On a separate occasion, I did just that. Another key factor is versatility. Going by feeling alone, I don’t feel much for pumps so I’ve tried this both with and without a pump formula. I’ve used this for high intensity cardio workouts and in those cases will use it without a pump formula. On most cases when I am training in the gym, I pair it with a half scoop of bloodsport or a scoop of Maniaco pump for a well rounded, hard hitting workout. Appetite suppression is for real with this. Although I take my pre workouts around 4:30am and am in the full swing of exercise by 5am, I’m usually ready for my protein shake by 8am. In the case of excelsior, I need to remind myself to take the protein shake. Aside from that, I can’t think of much else for side effects. Even the crash is manageable for me, perhaps since I take it so early in the morning by the time it wears off is about 12 hours later in most cases when I am just about finishing up my day. On that note, it would be foolish to take it in the afternoon and I never have even risked such a thing. Even the flavor is amazing! It tastes like Hawaiian Punch without any bitterness or aftertaste. There is some slight issue with cotton mouth but I always try my best to stay hydrated in the gym anyways. My biggest complaint is probably what you would hear from anyone else that has a tub of excelsior. It’s really expensive and really hard to get. There is also a very tempting element to re-dose which tells me that the unique, unnamed ingredient on the label is a bit more illicit than what we may know.

Straight to the point, this is one of my favourite products ever on the market. The taste is a dream, as good as edge of insanity in the sense where I look forward to it every single time. The effects take around 35-40 minutes to come in and when they do you are hit with a level of focus almost nothing can match on the pre workout market. It lasts intensely for around 10 hours with no big crash. I find it to be incredibly versatile in the sense where you can do any kind of workout on it or cardio without it spiking your heartrate but in social settings and household tasks it shines even more.. It allows even the most boring of task seem like a breeze and even music sounds much cleaner while the effects are active. I would certainly recommend it.

For the long time I've been hearing how Excelsior pre-workout is one of the best super illicit hitters. But because of the price and it's being sold overseas only in UK I never was interested to get a whole tub. Ruesco restocked Excelsior and I got a couple samples from there and also Exoticsuppdad Amol sent me a couple servings of samples of that as well to try it out. Experience: I was very skeptical and I was very scared as well to take the Pre-Workout because there was reviews where people got bad side effects from it but most of it had a great workout so I took it with no pump formula was stacked. I was expecting to get some closer experience to Juiced which I have tried and didn't enjoy, that drugged out, Hyper focused state kind of experience. But it was not like that to my surprise. It only has one flavor which is fruit punch and it's very generic fruit punch flavor that is enjoyable easy to drink and taste really nice. The build-up took around 45 minutes to reach it s full effect, but still after that I kinda expecting it to go up even more, because people are saying this is all day experience. But it didn't go beyond that which I really liked. Workout itself was very productive, I was calm and collected, hitting sets and exercises right after one another, progressing all my lifts, reps and weights which is my priority in my training style. I wanted to drink water more than usual, but I observed no side effects or weirdness from it. It's was very smooth, nice experience at all times I took it. Didn't felt like I was stimmed up or its too much. It had some illicit floaty feeling to it at times but overall I wouldn't call it super illicit or underground. It varies from batch to batch as well. So people constantly comparing their batches, expiry dates and tubs. What I got is 06/27. Another way that I discovered to use was to stack it with Crack Barbarian. Idea came from MeatyMorsels and I think originally it was Nigels idea lol But the truth is that combination does work and they perform better together, personally for me. So I'm not recommending to mix it to anyone. You can add pump formulas on top of it. It would definitely enhance mind muscle connection too. Bottom line is if you are fan of such pre workouts you can get it, but I'm personally not interested paying 110$ for a tub, it's just me. Far more better and cheaper options out there are available.
