Almost every high-stim pre says it’ll rock your world.
Most fade out fast.
Does the new Legit Pre actually raise the bar—or just get louder?
Legit Pharm's Legit Pre is a high-stimulant pre-workout supplement designed to provide sustained energy, improved pumps, and mild mood enhancement. It may cause slight anxiety and is best suited for experienced users due to its potent stimulant profile.
Legit Pharm's Legit Pre is a high-stimulant pre-workout supplement designed to provide sustained energy, improved pumps, and mild mood enhancement. It may cause slight anxiety and is best suited for experienced users due to its potent stimulant profile.
Legit Pre dropped DMAA and doubled down on DMHA, three types of caffeine, eria jarensis, alpha yohimbine, and halostachine.
You get a formula that is all about urgency and physical drive.
The old happy buzz is mostly gone—now it’s about raw, aggressive energy.
Flavors are better, servings are generous, and the label is 100 percent transparent.
Not a daily pre. Save it for “all or nothing” sessions.
Alpha yo is powerful and not for the faint of heart.
Appetite loss, dry mouth, and some agitation are real possibilities.
So what’s actually inside each scoop?
5g of citrulline is pretty standard for pumps and blood flow.
You can go higher for even bigger swelling, but this covers most lifters.
3.2g beta alanine brings those tingles and helps you grind out longer sets.
Most lifters will feel it kick in fast.
Tyrosine at 2g gives a big nudge for focus—more than you’ll see in most budget pre’s.
Helps keep your head in the game when the stims hit.
Arginine adds a little more to the pump and blood flow mix.
It works best paired with citrulline for a fuller feel.
500mg agmatine is here to round out the pump blend.
Good for those chasing a more swollen look in the gym.
300mg caffeine anhydrous is the main energy kick.
Noticeable on its own, but with all the other stims, it’s just part of the wave.
300mg eria jarensis is for that “feel good” lift.
Here it’s more physical than happy, especially with the other stims.
This blend’s centerpiece is 225mg DMHA.
Forget party mode—this is all aggression.
You’ll feel the difference if you’re used to milder stims.
Theobromine gives a softer, trailing stimulation.
Supports caffeine for a longer, smoother effect.
Caffeine citrate at 100mg hits you fast.
This is what makes the energy feel urgent right after you drink it.
Halostachine adds a light, speedy edge to the whole formula.
Not as heavy as ephedrine but you’ll notice the sharper vibe.
10mg bioperine just helps your body absorb everything else.
Makes sure all the other ingredients hit as hard as they should.
Alpha yohimbine at 2.5mg is on the harsh side.
If you’re not used to it, expect some sweat and maybe jitters.
Legit Pre made a hard pivot this round.
DMAA is gone for good.
DMHA is now the main driver—at a dose you don’t see often.
Alpha yo went from a bonus to a main event.
Halostachine adds a unique “fight or flight” kick, stacking on top of the other stims.
The whole formula moves from “party” to “warpath.”
Pumps are still present from the triple stack of citrulline, arginine, and agmatine, but now the energy is center stage.
Let’s talk about what sets this apart from the last version.
The good?
Explosive, urgent energy.
Physical drive is always high.
No crash and effects last for hours.
Better flavors and serving sizes.
Every ingredient and dose is right on the label.
The bad?
Alpha yo can be intense—borderline harsh for some.
That original DMAA euphoria is gone.
Way too strong for daily use.
You might lose your appetite, feel dry mouth, or get a bit agitated.
If you loved the old Legit for its happy high, this one will feel different.
Hardcore lifters and stim junkies will find a lot to like.
If you want to turn aggression up and focus only on the gym, this is your pre.
Best for “PR or nothing” days, long gym marathons, or those looking to break a plateau.
If you’re new to stims, have never used alpha yo, or just want a smoother ride—skip this.
Absolutely not for anyone who is drug-tested.
If you’re not already deep in the stim game, start with half a scoop.
One level scoop is a full serving.
Take it 20 to 30 minutes before you train, and for best results, do it on an empty stomach.
Never stack it with other stimulants or fat burners.
Keep it as a once-a-week pre if you want to protect your tolerance.
Legit Pre’s new formula is built for a different type of lifter.
You lose some of that happy, party feel, but gain raw, aggressive energy that pushes you to the edge.
Still a heavy hitter, just in a different way.
If you want your pre-workout to hit hard and last long, it’s worth a shot.

I wanna be very clear. I have not tried the new reformulated legit pre-this is a review of the original. I was lucky enough to buy a few tubs of the original. They all hit amazingly they feel like a dark labs, original crack pre-workout type of pre-they have great energy. The Alpha is just perfect. The be Aleen is perfect. You’re gonna feel the tingling and feel pumped. You have a good mood elevation a good workout. I wanna be clear that this is the old version but it sounds like people are really enjoying the new version. The main difference being that this version was more of a happy feeling while the newer one is a little more intense and extreme energy output. I can understand that because I had a great mood, but I don’t know if I could really handle any more energy than this one already provides so I’m very happy. I have the original. I definitely recommend if you can find
With such a gem on the market in 2025 where to begin..
I have tried most flavors with cherry being the best and apple being the worst, it's not great and quite spicy tasting but not the worst tasting in the high stim category.
At the full dose legit kicks in extremely quickly, within 10-15 minutes I felt a head high and this grew for another 40 or so minutes.
I was stronger on Legit than with most pre's and working out was even more enjoyable than normal.
I didn't notice a great increase in pumps but due to the strength of the product pumps are inevitable.
I never felt any side effects only postives and the effects lasted around 6 hours with no bad crash, many people say they crash from this product but I genuinely never have.
I love the noopept combination with the strong stimulants and unlike most pre's I can't think of many ingredients that could make it better, possibly hordenine but that's just nit picking.
Overall I like this product more than almost any high stim product that's currently available, I give it an 8.5/10 which would be higher if they could improve the taste.
I would recommend it over Dexter Halloween if you're struggling to decide on a high stim in the current age.
Legit Pre is unbelievable. This is one of my go to preworkouts now. I saw this getting a lot of hype so I had to try it. I am no stranger to high stim pre workouts. The original crack gold being one of my all time favorites.
I bought this and after my first purchase, I instantly bought four more of them.
The energy this preworkout gives me is incredible. I feel like I can lift for hours on end and it doesn’t stop there. I come home and I am still completely dialed in. I will play my drums for 2 hours straight like it is nothing.
This preworkout makes my heart rate pretty high the entire time which I am okay with. The more calories burnt the better! I have furious energy, if that makes sense.
The only one downside of this pre is that I can become agitated a lot more easily. But it’s a small price to pay. I’m moving some mountains on this nectar!
I expected this one to be similar to the OG crack gold, and truthfully it’s similar in a lot of ways but many other aspects make this stand out on its own. This pre workout is definitely for a day off work or a day when you plan on having 2 workouts.
The first time I took this I was expecting it to hit the way crack gold hits because of the label. It boasts DMHA and geranium extract (aka DMAA), at 150mg and 75mg respectively. Crack gold boasts 200mg DMHA and 100mg Geranium extract. There are some differences such as crack gold having some nootropic add ins like alpha gpc and NALT whereas Legit Pre does not.The differences on the label appear subtle, but they vastly differ from each other in a lot of ways.
The biggest takeaway comparing these two pre workout juggernauts come down to the overall experience. Crack gold feels dirtier than Legit Pre for some reason. I’m not sure why this is or what is extra on the label, but this is only a deciding factor in how I want my workout to go. Legit Pre feels a bit cleaner but the focus is also more intense. With Legit Pre, I feel more in tune with the weights and with crack gold, I feel like I’m trying to destroy the weights.
The biggest overall difference is the duration of these feelings with legit. Legit feels like it continues to work in the background even after your gym session is over. Crack gold feels like there’s a crash that lets me know it’s over. Legit pre doesn’t seem to have that crash.
For example: the first time I took Legit Pre, I had a killer gym session, I broke some PRs, i felt the mood elevation and euphoria for some time after I was done working out. I almost forgot I had taken the Legit Pre until 5 hours after I was done exercising I drank an energy drink.i thought it was long over until the caffeine from the energy drink kicked in. I was brimming with energy so hard I just went back to the gym and had another extra 45 minutes of exercise to level off the feeling.
It was a good feeling, the music was loud because the headphones were stuffed into my eardrums and I was rocking out for the rest of the 2nd workout session. Energy drinks don’t do that for me so I knew it was the legit pre. This thing hits hard and then sticks around like your wife’s boyfriend. Unlike your wife’s boyfriend it’s not an awkward and uncomfortable type of lingering, it’s more welcomed. This is where the biggest difference lies between crack gold and legit pre lie. This one can lie low and reactivate like a sleeper cell if the need arises.
Another difference lies within the flavor. Crack gold is nasty with a strong aftertaste that feels like it gives you cottonmouth by taking one sip. Legit pre has an aftertaste but it’s not an aggressive cleaning agent type of taste like you would get with gold. It’s subtle and manageable that is almost as smooth as some other types of sports drinks.
9:45 am: 3/4 scoop (10g)
Flavor was Green Apple and it was very pleasant, no chemically taste, went down very smooth and was sort of sad there was no more left to drink.
+15 minutes: Arrived at the gym and two sets in experienced sweaty palms and beta tingles, which oddly enough only experienced in the head. These faded within a subsequent 15-20 minutes.
+30 minutes: A clearheaded feeling comes on on, euphoria creeping/building. Beginning to feel high 'floaty'. I will note a very mild bit of nausea which only remained for about 5 minutes.
+1 hour: Strength and focus is AMAZING. Pumps are above average, vascularity is meh. DMAA/DMHA runny nose evident, as well as dry mouth.
+1 hour 15 minutes: Set after Set after Set, crushing PR's, an unflappable focus. I have never experienced a feeling like this - I have never felt more focus, experienced more strength all the while calm as can be - zen-like'
1 hour 30 minutes: Leaving the gym thinking to myself "Holy Sh**"
Throw everything about preworkouts you know, this one is on a level of it's own. The entire way home I couldn't stop thinking that what I just experienced was like nothing ever before. I immediately ordered a few tubs from Ruesco. We will look back at this preworkout and yearn for times like these.
That said, this pre is potent, this pre is magic; I will not use it more than once a week, maybe once every two. I used it on chest day, but man, this would be killer on a back day.
Almost three hours post dose and I have zero negative side effects except dry mouth. I will report back if anything else such as a crash/comedown is experienced. Appetite suppression is there but I don't find it too extreme. I would not take this after Noon, I can see this keeping you up all night.
Thank you to Legit Pharm, I cannot wait to see what this company comes out with in the future. Kudos to them. I can see this going for $300+ when all supply runs out.
