When Psychotic SAW came out I was very excited about it. After watching reviews I was even more pumped but also little scared not gonna lie. Because by the experience it sounded hella strong. Decided to get a tub even though I already had regular Psychotic Red, this would pair perfectly with Bloodbath which is from that series. I'm gonna share my experience when I first time tried it, it's very interesting. First time I took 5 grams instead of 6g. Paired with pump and went out to gym for arms training. It hits like a train had little bit of cold sweats, eyes fully open, jaw is tight, I have extreme aggression to weights and sense of urgency is off the charts. I had to also carry napkins with me all the time because my nose was running a lot. What most stood out to me was the concentration and mind muscle connection during the lifts. As I was doing preacher curls I was fully submerged in that moment and focused on the muscle. I gotta say before the set you feel very driven and strong , but it's hard to carry the set to absolute failure on big compound exercises and rest time is prolonged by a lot. So that's why I prefer this on either shoulder or arms day. Energy never crashes. I had hard to time falling asleep later that night. Even though I usually don't have such problems, I take OG Legit Pre after 6 pm and sleep just fine. But this one gave me hard time. Post workout I had to go to bathroom a lot, the diuretics effects is real, and I had saliva post workout that I was spitting every 3-4 minutes. Post workout I was still stimmed up for good 2 hours, the same level of energy during the workout. But it's annoying if you don't do anything or have meeting or have to deal with people or socialize because you are on one and can't deal with such bs. You need to workout or run or do something physical. Definitely recommend it for alpha dog stim junkie users

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!
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.
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!
Originally I saw the review for Gulag by TJ and he kinda spoke highly of it. It was pretty popular pre workout and almost every stim junkie collection had it. I also got this one from Nutricartel before one last restock and it was gone forever. My tub is Sour Squach flavor and it's one of the best testing pre workouts and flavor system that there can be. It's not sour, it's sweet, taste and smell great, good Mixability, i only use 14 grams it mixed perfectly. Effects are very surprising because despite the main ingredients you might think is DMHA, it's actually alpha yo. It has a great kick and backbone to it which provides the aggression usually comes rather than euphoric happy mood from DMHA. It definitely keeps you going, energy never drops its clean sustained and just enough strong that doesn't blow off your head. Powder itself does hold good, doesn't get clumpy at all for 2+years time I had it. So it will last you good enough time. Currently I don't think it is available in most places and sadly Just Vibes Nutrition is gone they don't even answer the emails.
