One of my favorite heavy hitter the sledgehammer of Dark Labs pre workouts. It's a thing of a beauty. I keep it for my most heavy, hardcore workouts where nothing works anymore and I know Barbarian gonna step in and make the weights go light so I can progress the lifts. After stim break I do not take it only closer to stim break or when my tolerance is relatively high. That's when I can enjoy and rip the benefits without being overwhelmed or feeling is too much. This is aggressive pre, I feel the rage and desire to destroy the weights, just attacking every set. You are so focused and concentrated on the next set you are about to do, you don't even pay attention whatever going around you, if people look at you or what music is playing. Grape flavor is nice. Pumps are good but I always stack pump formula on top like Warlord. Mind muscle connection isn't the star of the of this pre, unlike Crack Purple 120mg, you don't feel anything. No pain no muscle contractions, no aches, just moving weights from A to B. There's also secret stacker formula designed by Doctor MM. The formula is to mix Excelsior and Barbarian with different doses and I have tried this mix and absolutely loved it. It's even better than Barbarian alone.
Renegade labs is one of my favorite brands, maybe on the same level of Dark Labs. Whatever product I have ever tried by them was always perfect 10/10 experience. Same with Machine. I got the OG tub from HighstimAce. It's the strongest and most perfect version of it. With a soup bowl like scoop and Excelsior like powder. I will attach picture of powder itself too. First time I have tried it, I was nervous because Gymdad and other reviews said it's strong (about the first batch) and there's no scope size mentioned on tub. Adding all the ingredients and flavoring it comes to 13 grams which is one scoop for me Long story short. 13 grams dose was absolutely beautiful experience. No death feeling,no side effects, just good mood, happy nice wellbeing, everything is in optimistic shade. Yet you are perfectly stimmed up without losing your head and going Maniaco, alpha yo isn't that strong its there and delivers only the best thing, geranium feels real, by the way the weights move and I am no stranger to geranium, it has the good. Definitely recommend it to every stim junkie. Surprised to see 8.3 by the Fitfrek, but my score is solid 10! Cheers!
İnsane Labz cracked the code with synergy of Alpha Yohimbine and Caffeine mix. It just works every time, every pre they have come out with and will be has the same working, Legit, simple formula. It's the bread and butter, Main moneymaker for the. And as stim junkies we love it. Regular Psychotic (Red) is my go to alpha yo slapper for full dose and half scoop for Cardio session. Even at the half scoop I say to myself that imma take it easy and do steady state long Cardio but everytime it turns out to be intense Cardio session when I'm doing ellipticals, running going fast on the Cardio. Because it makes you stimmed up. It's not as strong slapper like Psychotic SAW but it packs the classic Insane labz punch. Talking about punch, flavor I got is flavor punch and its delicious. Easy to mix and stack with any pump products with any flavor. I personally like stacking it with 2 scoops of Bloodbath ah you guessed it! By Insane Labz again 35 servings for 34$ is a serous steal too!
Hi-tech is one of the biggest if not the biggest behemoth of the supplement industry. Somatomax is a tried and true sleep aid and what makes it hardcore os is the phenibut. On label there aren't really strong sleep ingredients, that's why for me personally it doesn't knock me out right away after taking it. I do not rely on this product to provide me sleep when I need the sleep. It's more like next day experience kind of product which will make you prepared for next day's high stim day. I don't think it does reset anything in terms of adrenal glands or cns but it definitely gives relaxed chill mood when I wake up and I use only half scoop 7 grams, full dose is too much for me, can't shake the sleep next day might feel drowsy. Flavor I have is Snowcone which taste awesome. It's heavily colors and powder is always clumpy. I literally takes and measure the chunks to take the sleep aid. Phenibut is actually serious ingredient that cannot be taken lightly, since it can develop dependency if you use it everyday, thus it's recommended to take it once a week.
I think Apollon is overrated in terms of pre workouts. Hooligan is overhyped for no reason. Overpriced and It's trash. It does not worth the money I spend on it. Just high caffeine hit and tons of drawbacks, like stomach issues, crash post workout, awful flavor which leaves nausea, inconsistent. Powder and Mixability is awful. Taste bad, doesn't mix good. Energy is okay, it has to be since they bomb you with caffeine. Pumps are alright. I have gave Lotta chance to this pre but it was letdown everytime. I literally threw it in trash, didn't even sell or gave away to any of my friends. Not recommend at all. You'd be better off with other brand of Apollon, like Anarchy Labs, Ronin. Day and night difference.
I have tried every version of Convict. From the first one which was not good, 2nd shorter tub that was a slapper DMHA pre and the latest version which is v3 taller tub. I got a sample and tried it and tbh didn't see much difference from the v2. It still has the goods, slaps, good high energy, workhorse mentality in the gym and euphoric enough to give you buzzing going on. It has no side effects but you are stimmed up, energized and fully charged to attack the weights. I can see taking this slightly higher dose, since I had only 1 sample I couldn't try higher but after trying this I will definitely get a full tub of this one. Taste is very good. Sour gummy is enjoyable. Mind muscle connection is also one of the most memorable points of this pre workout. In conclusion I definitely recommend it.
Ninja Zen is considered among the heavy Hitter sleep supps. Because it contains Phenibut. Highly potent yet addictive substance. I limit my Phenibut usage to once a week, even sometimes twice a month. My go to options are Somatomax and Anesthesized. Ninja Zen never felt like these two. It felt like usual, regular use sleep Supps. I have tried to give it many chances to "feel" the effects the other day but it never felt quite like hardcore sleep supp. Which isn't actually bad thing, for people who can't handle Phenibut well I think it's a good starting point. I don't like that Zen has ashwaganda, even though I haven't noticed any side effects from it yet I'm not a fan of ingesting that trash ingredient. Unlike the other two Ninja zen Makes me fall asleep super fast. 2 grams of gaba is a little bit extreme and gives me that usual weird gaba warmth and tingly skin, the last thing I wanna have before sleep is to get itchy, yet 5 minutes later I don't remember how I got out cold.
Gymdad did put this hitter on the spotlight. He called it Clowntown happy pre workout. So I decided to get a tub from Nutricartel,because that style of pres are my jam. Label looks stacked yet nothing crazy. Taste is Grape which is okay, 7/10 slight bitter taste in the end. No artificial colors is good point. I take heaping scoop of this pre which comes to 25 grams and gives good boost in mood and energy. It's smooth yet has some punch in it. Sustained energy and focus is maintained for 2-3 hours. I would compare it to Scary Hours, Dystopia and FON. It's one of the pres that you know gonna work and cause no drama or side effects. It's nothing scary but has that illicit vibes while it builds up slowly. But once you are locked in the workout you totally forget about it, it's a smooth operator. Pumps are not the greatest key point of this one so I pair it with Blo pump formula by Myoblox. Together its my Go to stack for good arms legs workout
I really liked the old version of Stim Shady. I remember it as a no drama, smooth happy mood elevation type of pre. It was DMBA exclusive pre, new version has added DMHA as well. I'm pretty sure it's the same manufacturers of the Euphoria by Star Labs because the tub lot number, flavor, powder, tub everything is identical except label of course. Anyway, I still think it's a different product since it is better than Euphoria, the lack of Alpha Yo doesn't make it smooth or weak pre. I had better workouts on this one on its own. Sometimes I stack it with alpha Yo pills (2-3 mgs) which adds that "slap" factor to experience. Taste awesome, Snowcone flavor is a banger flavor. Mixes easily taste awesome, it has some Glycerol bits that's floating on the pre but you just shoot it down. Everything about the experience ks is solid 8. Very balanced and mid tier level stim junkie pre.
Back in the day I used to take Hemorage by Nutrex it was similar proprietary blend like Outrage, and had a serious kick to it. Same basic trick here, caffeine and Alpha yo (vomitoria). It just works! I use full scoops for my intense workouts with pump formula stacked on top of it and half scoop for my morning Cardio session on days off. Very tasty, I have blue razz flavor. No artificial color even though I love classic blue razz color, mixes near perfectly, taste is classic blue raspberry, very enjoyable. Star of the of this pre is big energy and high sense of urgency. You are attack mode against the weights. It will kick in quick and have you in that elevated state for a while. So if you have meeting later at work you don't wanna take it first thing in the morning and having that stimmed up eyes around people lol
Definitely recommended, especially for a crazy price point!
