New version of Wrecked is one of best daily pre workouts out there. I definitely didn’t missed the old version which had Eria.

Got a sample from Nutricartel. Serving size is 37.5 grams,which is a lot, didn’t felt heavy on the stomach but the texture of the mix was very gritty and almost felt like protein shake lol. Flavor is watermelon. It’s artificial color free and naturally flavored. Taste is very mild. It smells like watermelon but doesn’t taste like anything. A little hint of flavor, and thus the taste isn’t great. Extremely disappointing for a daily pre. Which they could do better. I’m all for artificial color free pres, but natural flavoring just sucks, just like Transparent Labs Bulk Black.

Experience : Label is loaded and had every ingredient maxed out, double amount of Betas came very fast and stayed for half hour. Strong tingles for sure. Energy and mood elevation followed shortly after. It definitely wakes you up from the dead and commands you to go. Focus is the star of the show. Sense of urgency is top notch. You cannot wait to hit the gym and lift weights. Drive during the workout was very straightforward and apparent. In my head there was only one thing:Forward! as soon as I'm done with set, mentally I was ready to attach the weights again. I would call it high end stim junkie daily pre workout, even tho label doesn't say so, that's why labels are just labels. Experience is what matters

Pumps were nasty on this one. 10 grams of L-Citruline was all enough. Vascular tight pumps. I had already full muscles after only 2 sets. I know it’s a potent daily when I took Unleashed Yayo DMHA pre yesterday and today Wrecked still hit in a best way possible. I like this one. Definitely will grab a tub once I run out the dailys in my rotation

Bought Crack purple original formula in 2021 from suppscentral using an FDN discount code after seeing the hype it was getting from reviewers. I used the whole tub over about two years and absolutely loved it.

I'm not sure if there was 'real DMAA', since this is my only experience with a preworkout that even CLAIMS DMAA. But whatever is in here, it makes for an amazing preworkout and seems much stronger than just the usual DMHA.

I had Very Dark Berry flavour and it was quite good.

On a full serve (2 scoops), it takes about ~15 minutes to first kick in, and from there the focus, good mood, and driving energy builds progressively for another hour or so. Adrenaline is pumping and you feel powerful: you can do higher weight and more reps without getting fatigued. You don’t get much euphoric mood elevation per se. You're just dialled in and feeling positive about the workout.

The peak of the effects last from about ~40 minutes to ~2 hours after ingestion. You can still feel it floating around your system for a fair few hours after, so it may disturb sleep if you take it after 5pm.

The pump formula is obviously exceptionally good for a high-stim preworkout like this. And it delivers. Great muscle contractions and a surprisingly big pump for something with so many vasoconstricting stimulants.

Side effects are minimal and basically limited to what can be expected from a preworkout like this: e.g increased heart rate, shaky hands, maybe a bit of a crash, queasy feeling, headaches, I possibly threw up one time, and increased sweating (which might be a positive for some).

Overall, this is a top-tier preworkout which delivers in all areas. This review has been mainly based on the 2 scoop (full serve) experience. However I also used 1 scoop and 1.5 scoops on different occasions, with the effects being basically the same but just a bit attenuated. This preworkout is clearly ‘hardcore’, so start with 1 scoop to assess tolerance. I even think that some people will find 1 or 1.5 scoops to be more than enough.

It’s a shame that Dark Labs is pivoting away from DMAA stuff (though again who knows if it was in here) due to legal and manufacturing issues, and that the original Crack purple that I had is probably never coming back. I’m glad I got to try this one while it was in its prime.

TLDR: Hardcore preworkout specialising in strong adrenergic energy that makes you feel powerful while lifting, with intense focus and positive mood. If you can find the original formula anywhere I would say get some now because it’s going to be all gone very soon if it isn’t already.

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.

I first tried crack gold from Ruesco as a sample back in the beginning of 2024 when it first sold out from its original run on Dark Labs. I got lucky in finding a distributor that had the last of that batch and was able to order it… and then a few months later it was rereleased and I was a bit miffed that I had gone out of my way for them to just release it again. From the reviews I read, that rerelease was nowhere as good as the original run. Nowadays there’s the V2 Crack Gold with only DMHA. As a proud owner of the original batch, I treat it likea fine champagne and only bring it out when the circumstances seem fit. This indeed one of those Dark Labs DMAA+DMHA hitters boasting 100mg and 209mg respectively. The intensity that this brew brings is unlike any other preworkout of its kind. Even in comparison to legit pre, Crack Gold has an intensity and dirtiness about it that I’ve never achieved off Legit Pre!

Crack Gold is one of those pre workouts with a laundry list of stims, nootropics and pumps. Each set is intense with intention to set PRs! The music sounds louder and stronger no matter what it is; the euphoria, intensity, and hostility that comes from crack gold seems almost emotional. Like you’re attempting to kill the weights through a crime of passion. Strength is seemingly born from this elixir that you had just ingested prior to your session and you are now enveloped in a world of strength and hostility… in a fun way! It’s also really fun! Each exercise makes you eager to continue and move onto the next exercise.

The flavor “rainbow candy” tastes neither like rainbow or candy. It tastes like sweetened delousing agent from WW2 with a hint of agent orange. The chemical warfare assault on your tastebuds is a clear indicator that you just ingested one of the strongest preworkouts known to man and are soon to become a super human parody of yourself as a PR setting nightmare machine.

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
