Dark Horse used to be around 4-5 years back and last year it did a comeback bringing the same tub label and promises. Fortunately enough the label ingredients panel didn't change and didn't got nerfed. I have tried the new version and can confirm it has the goods. Starting with flavor, Candy Crack Rox is solid enjoyable flavor mixed good no artificial flavor. Has slight burning back end sensation. Effects takes time to build up, I didn't experience crazy heart rate like GGH had when he took it and almost called 911 lol It was very euphoric and buzzing kick in. I haven't experienced such DMHA buzz since Hive v2. Meaning the physical buzz and your body goes in vibration mode but it feels good. Then it transforms into physical energy and during training you almost forget about the pre. It just provides great intensity and drive to complete your workout without problem. I think it's made by same people who made Aventador, I prefer Aventador over this. Because it is much more smooth and euphoric experience. This one tbh had too much buzzing that was counter productive in the beginning of my workout where I am supposed to lift the heaviest weights. I personally use it this very rarely maybe every 2-3 month.

If you are a stim junkie veteran like me , you might remember the times when Gaspari used to put DMAA into superpump 250!good times.. But today we have very good Daily version of that. Most people sleep on it just like Outrage by Nutrex. It's widely available and ingredients panel is just what stim head might look for high end daily pre workout. What makes this pre stand out is the 3mg of Alpha Yo and L-almitoylethanolamide aka natural PEA. That combo alone gives great mood elevation and sense of urgency. Alpha Yo effects are apparent. You feel that drive, Agressive vibes and some of the negatives like runny nose. But it's nothing crazy and manageable. Taste is great Italian ice taste like Lemonade. Easy to add any pump formula since it has less citruline. Be careful there are two versions of this product with different label. US version is the way to go
Out of all Crack series from Dark Labs this must be the smoothest one. I personally enjoyed this pre-workout but still it left to be desired a little bit more the main ingredient in this just makes it mellow and maybe a little too much smooth is the Kanna extract. I never had too much problems with L-theanine and in pre-work, but Kanna seem to effect a lot more in terms of getting in the way of feeling the stims to the maximum. Taste is great, pumps definitely need a pump formula stacked on top of it. It is a builder type of pre workout, it never slaps or you don't feel the exact moment when the pre hits. It's an old drama free that will help you with any body part you are going to train I wouldn't say it's ideal for heavy weight lifting PRS and taking the training to the next level but it definitely provides great sense of well-being mood elevation and motivation to train. Post workout never had any issues or crash. Slowly fades away. In conclusion if you are looking for smooth 2 amino pre with no side effects or drama that's a solid choice.
Just like most high stim pre workouts this was unfortunately fallen in category of pre workouts that got nerfed and good goods removed from their products by the time passed., the original Euphoria pre workout sample that I had was way better than the version that I have now it did have a lot of motivation and great energy like it wasn't the best pre workout out there but it did provide enough boost for you to lift very heavy in the gym and have great mood and well being sensation but unfortunately the latest version that I bought later on was quite bunk it didn't feel like the previous version it provided a little to no model elevation despite the name says Euphoria it did not provide any for you it felt like a caffeine and maybe a little bit of all for you I took it way over the dose I took it to closer to 19 G to try to make it work but unfortunately it did not so overall that's appointing experience I do not recommend this version so it's a good versions are in the past and you can or get much better other highest improve workouts that has the DMBA and works I had a good things about the above all. Only thing is very nice is the taste and maybe the pumps. It has the same flavor as the Stim Shady Snowcone flavor because of the the same manufacturer.
I had quite high hopes for the spring workout and I thought it would be successor of Zeus pre-workout because the label and The Vibes and, general reviews about it was pointing out that will be replacement for Zeus. I got it from nutria cartel it's not an revolutionary label is pretty much copy of the previous pre-workouts that I've been out there. I got Blue razz flavor, as manufacturer of Xtremis Cartel and Vices and vibes this pre also has bad flavoring system. Evemat 1 scoop its extremely chemical, bitter hard to drink let alone enjoy , bitter medicine aftertaste lingers for a while. But the effects of this pre workout doesn't justify that or high price of this pre. At 2 scoops I experienced no euphoria or mood elevation as everyone has been saying. If I'd like a caffeine and some weird head feeling that was not contribute to work out or did not Aid me to push harder overall that disappointing experience I do not recommend to just anyone I heard good about about things that Yayo edition only thing that was added was three milligrams Alpha Euro I can see you to be in a strong workout but this version the regular version did not work for me
I have tried sample from UK version of Doomsday Destruction. Tbh I was kinda scared to take it because the reviews said it's super strong and Alpha Yo slap is real. But when I tried it surprisingly it was extremely great experience and I was totally blown away! Serving size is 18 G but I took 15 G and broke the 3 G additional powder it was me to the gym if it was not enough I would drink it later but to be honest there was no need because at the 15 g mark it was extremely perfect 10 out of 10 high stim ore workout experience there was a lot of motivation there was a lot of aggression Good Vibes happy mood. I was dancing between sets and didn't care about people in the gym. Music sounds way groovier than usual I was on RCHP and silly Limp Biztik songs and just cruising, floating through the workout and gym itself. It really reminded me how DMHA pre should make feel like. No side effects, no scaries, just enjoying the moment, appreciating life every set, rep, being best version of yourself. I didn't have any alpha yo side effects just the benefits. Tbh it was better experience and I prefer this even over Deliverance which I thought is my #1 pre at the moment. But Koka labs did deliver even more! Absolutely loved this. I will try to get one from UK because... Rumors say... US Version is different than UK and not for the better. It's a stim junkie dream pre
Back in the day we had Irate by Jaggernaut nutrition and it was very good high stim pre work out we had DMAA in it. First when I saw it I was like maybe it's a comeback? But quickly we all understood that it's the beginning of the new era which is the would Sticky Labels pre workout. Now about the experience The Taste horrendous very hard to drink extremely colored and unpleasant. The energy and the other other effects of from the stimulants come rather quickly at first it feel too much but then it levels out but you're still stimmed the hell up, tons of energy, urgency and underlying anxiety to do more and makes you feel restless. But it does come with a cost for me which is nausea and post workout crash. Overall I would rather take smash or DMHA pre workouts. I'm not a fan of paying price with this pre with all the post gym aftermath drama I get from it. Pumps are okay muscles doesn't blow up but they feel extremely dense.
GGH and Dark Labs did create an absolute banger. First one was my absolute favorite it was extremely euphoric and happy mood to work out. The second run is the same label but it does hit a little differently a little strong little aggressive motivation less euphoria but still it has the same source it has the same effects it has the same vibes delicious flavors , no bitter after taste. pumps are awesome. always put you in a good mood. It's super consistent hits every time, no bad workouts on ot. I have both versions and my favorite way to run it is to take half scoop of v1 and half scoop of v2. Definitely must have stim junkie pre workout. It's in my personal top 5 high stim pre workouts of all times.
Dark Labs and Nutricartel created one of the strongest, hard hitting pre workouts on the market. It's just unbelievable how stacked and maxed out the label is. It definitely has the good goods and you will not question it. Advanced users only. I started with full heaped scoop which is 27 g serving size and it was almost too much. The aggression, energy and sense of urgency, power output it provides is unreal. Weights felt light, PR's on top of PR's. Going non stop, no pain, no fatigue just right rocker fuel. Closer to the end of the workout I felt the cold sweats and little background nausea, which was tolerable, but post workout crash and sick feeling was real, had to chill out little bit and wait for it to level out but it's a straight 3-4 hours experience, even more. Took some chill piils before it went towards survival mode. It definitely builds over the course of total 2 hours, so you think it's Peaked but no..there's more coming. So I definitely recommend to take 3/4 scoop for your first time. Pumps were solid, mind muscle connection was really good. Flavor is Lemon Twist, it's not bad but definitely has that trademark Dark Labs chemical taste. This pre must be respected. Definitely must have in every stim junkies collection
I have tried original version and that was a very solid experience from DMHA, euphoric happy mood elevation vibes from regular Scare hours was really good. Limited Edition does up the ante! More caffeine, more DMHA and extra ingredients. This version felt just a little stronger but overall feel from the pre was similar to regular version Scary hours in terms of character. I had Grape bubblegum flavor sample, it's good solid 7.5/10, felt like regular Grape flavored pre workouts. The energy and little bit of aggression I got from it was more then enough to complete the workout and post workout there's no come down or side effects. Don't get me wrong you are still stimmed up but still can go about your day and do other works. Overall I recommend this product if you liked pre workouts like Kilo Labs Supreme it's pretty similar to that. Unfortunately Scary Hours are changing their label and will no longer have the illicit ingredients which made it unique...
