One of my favorite things about this formula is how transparent and easy it is to read. Even going off the top of my head I can list it as 10grams citrulline, 3200mg beta alanine, 4grams tyrosine, 400mg caffeine, 300mg DMHA, 2mg alpha yo…. i’m sure I’m forgetting some but the fact that I can list that from memory is a big deal. I know what I’m getting with each scoop, and I know I’m in for a killer workout filled with euphoric aggression!

I have the first run Maniaco, I just happened to buy a tub, and then I won a dark labs giveaway on instagram which scored me another 2 tubs and some other goodies The formula between the citrulline, caffeine, and DMHA is a great package that really balances out the overall effectiveness of this blend. This is one of those workouts that come with increased mood with intensity, and motivation that allows you to set personal records and keep going! The last time I ran Maniaco was on a Tuesday where I spent an hour and a half in the gym which felt like 10 minutes. Time blindness is a comea on atrong where you lose yourself in a real mind muscle connection between you and the weights, balanced well between pump and stim.

This is not a traditional dark labs product that’s like having your head explode while trying to snap barbells in half. This is a happy, euphoric, “I’m about to fuck you up” feel that comes on as you get to your next set. The flavor is something else as well, I’ve been digging the cherry mango tropical style of the ones that I have opened. I have yet to open the more pina colada variant.

This is a good, no nonsense, solid hitting stim junkie pre workout; with intense euphoria, inspiration and determination that drives you harder than any other high stim pre that might have 1000 different ingredients. I can’t recommend this one enough, I’m just glad that a 2nd batch has come out so I can try new flavors if I ever get around to it

I ran one level scoop of this after work on a day that I was pretty low on energy, and after a short ten minute nap. This made me a little worried that I wouldn't have the stamina to make it all the way through my sets and even questioned myself a few times during, but these thoughts were quickly dispelled.

I also combine with a homemade black pepper extract to experiment with absorption.

I sipped on the first half of the drink during my warmup set with low weights, cardio, and abs. By the time I hit my heavy sets 45 minutes later, I could really feel the focus kicking in and it lasted through the rest of my routine, for over an hour and a half.

This didn't exactly wake me up, as I "knew" I was tired, but the tunnel vision on this kept me sailing through my entire training routine. The weights still seemed heavy, but tons of physical energy to keep on pushing through. It's almost as if I could feel the exhaustion, but the mental endurance didn't care and kept on pushing. My heart was definitely pumping during this and had to catch my breath a couple of times, but nothing out of hand. Just enough to remind you of how hard you're pressing.

There was not much for a leftover buzz that I sometimes get from alpha-yo and had only minimal appetite suppression.

Maniaco had almost zero aggression and kept on pushing, but was super smooth. This is what I've felt each and every time that I've run it. Somehow it keeps getting pushed to the back of my stack, but hits so awesome every time I run it. You'd be missing out if you've never given this a go, as it's dependable and always a good time!

Maniaco for sure one of the best pre workouts of all times that delivers everything you want from a stim junkie pre with no drama.

Label is 10/10, simple, to the point and effective. If I wasn't a GGH fan I would still love this pre the same. The effects are very apparent and it doesn't feel very dirty or unhealthy. Taste is great. Pina Colada is very enjoyable. Pumps are great, and the euphoria hit is very awesome and it stays with you the whole workout. Overall it's in my top 5 pre's currently.
