As I write this I have tried every version of Hooligan with similiar effects and results. The taste of every flavour was harsh and heavy on the stomach which is odd as apple bareknuckle by the same company I found to be extremely tasty. The beta alanine took a while to kick in but was very strong and the energy and focus followed, however I must immediately iterate that regardless of which version of Hooligan I was left largely underwhelmed. When a product has such a large amount of different varieties of caffeine and lots of nootropics it simply should hit much harder, the pumps were great however. I found Lionheart to hit harder and better than Hooligan which simply should not be possible given the differential in stimulants included, this leads me to think Hooligan is taxing your adrenal glands for not enough result. With the high price I would not recommend any version of Hooligan.

To begin with the taste, it was orange burst and it was among the worst pre's i've ever tasted.. Nader had the same experience on his YouTube review also, it tends to repeat on you as well for an hour or so post consumption. To the effects, it is genuinely one of the best effective pre's of the past few years. The energy kicked in very swiftly, within 20 minutes and it was a builder.. the euphoria and focus were kicking but in a very enjoyable fashion. It continued and levelled out at the 2 hour mark and the overall effects lasted around 8 hours with zero crash. The happy vibe from it and lack of side effects caused me to never have anything short of an amazing workout while on Explosion, the pumps were potent also. The only two drawbacks are the taste being bad and the fact that this product is very prone to clumping but I would still recommend it.
I had the lemon flavour and it wasn't the worst but not nice, very strong artificial lemon taste that lingers. The pre kicked in fast and the beta alanine tingles were potent, the energy took around 20 minutes to activate and that grew for another hour and stabilised. I would say it lasted around 6 hours without a harsh crash, I found it to be lacking in the nootropic/focus realm. It's a great pre workout for the simplicity of the ingredient panel but I found it to hit best when I had taken a sleep formula the night before containing phen, this synergy made the mood elevation go to another dimension and i'll say of all the 2amino pre's i've tried this approach with Hybrid stood alone as the best synergy. The pumps were surprisingly good and it was effective for any style of workout, nice to have a yohimbine free euphoria pre on the market. I must note my tub had a version of eria jarensis known as Ignitro which is rare to see as usually if that ingredient is in patented form it's as EriaPuro. I would recommend Hybrid.
I have tried both versions of this, the stronger one with alpha yohimbine and without but today in this review it is regarding the alpha yo one. The flavour I had was Italian ice and it was extremely nice for a pre. It took around 25 minutes to start feeling it and when I did I noticed a nice mood uplift and good amount of energy that was more than enough for a gruelling leg session or even full body workout. It lasted around 3 hours and no crash after the fact, I found it to be lacking in focus elements however but it was very solid in the pumps department. I would recommend this pre as a regular use kind of product, it doesn't have anything illicit in it that'll spike your tolerance but at the same time it's not weak either.
The only flavour of this pre is cotton candy and it's alright, a little spicy going down but not awful. This essentially is a stronger more fat burning variant of Nuero also by Extremis. The effects came in fast and wild.. within the first 40 minutes I was flying. There are so many nootropics, stims and fat burning ingredients that it's hard to know what's doing what but in short I will say this is one of the strongest products ever to not contain any dm** type ingredients and in reality stronger than some that claim to contain those! The focus and energy made any workout enjoyable and easy and lasted perhaps 8 hours if not more. It is a good product to workout on and then later on get a lot of tasks completed. It's pricey but worth it so i'd recommend it, just wish it had more than 20 servings at full dose.
I write this having only tried the apple flavour and for a high stim pre it was actually not too bad, a bit spicy in it's after taste but not one to dread. I found the effects kicked in with extreme speed and I liked that and it contains a whopping 5000mg of beta alanine, it contains no yohimbine like most dark labs pre's but instead has kanna which in my opinion is a smarter option in a pre than for example L theanine. I felt increased strength and power output for even 2 hour workouts, high reps were easy also. The effects lasted around 7 hours and there was no particular crash to speak of, there was a head high and focus that was nothing short of enjoyable. I found the ingredient blend to come together nicely and is a rare take on a modern high stim pre workout. Overall I would recommend this product and if you try it go for full serving only as it contains no yohimbine so the positives raise as the dose increases and a half serving is underwhelming.
First to the flavour, blue cherry slush was extremely pleasant and even enjoyable so bravo.. The effects kick in extremely quickly, as in 10 minutes possibly due to the caffeine citrate but the other ingredients follow for a truly unique experience. I found the versatility of the pre to be amazing, suitable for any workout, cardio or even day to day boring activities. The focus and effects lasted around 5 hours and I had no crash ever. I love the blend of nootropics and stims, especially the low caffeine which proves you don't need to fry your adrenal glands to enjoy a pre workout. I would absolutely recommend Nuero and I far prefer it to El Jefe which Extremis Cartel also make, the only drawback I find is at full dose you only get 20 servings.
I have tried many batches of Hydrazine over the years, this review is about the most recent batches. Firstly I have taken anything from 1 to 2 to 3 capsules, 3 is too much pure and simple.. overkill.. 1 is a bit too mellow for me personally but excellent at boosting the focus of weaker regular pre workouts, that way you get pump ingredients and other nootropics/stims to boost hydrazine. But at 2 capsules is where this product is at its absolute best, it provides focus and energy for easily 8 hours with minimal crash. The focus is incredible without side effects such as too much heart rate increase, I feel strong on this product and overall just renders you in a productive state. You will feel great in public speaking, a party, the gym.. any setting, very versatile. I would fully recommend this product.
I have tried this product in both capsule and tub pre workout form, I will be reviewing the latter. I had fruit punch flavour and it was rather enjoyable indeed, bordering on tasty. What I am about to say is rare but I genuinely felt this product activate in actual minutes, as in 2-4 minutes. I can't say i'm used to that with pre workouts. One may theorise it's due to the caffeine citrate but lots of products contain that and don't kick in quite this fast. The energy and focus grows at a steady rate for around 40 minutes and levels out, the energy is excellent for any style workout perhaps excluding intense cardio. I found the energy to last around 3 hours and then softly fade out without crash. I like that you get 30 servings and Insane Labz always have nice tasting pre's so yes I would recommend it certainly.
With these being capsules a lot of the usual's in a review in a typical pre workout are not pertinent such as taste, mixability and beta alanine tingles. You get 60 capsules per container and 1 is more than enough, 2 is simply overkill. Upon consumption the white rush capsule kicks in fast, around 20 mins in you're feeling much more energy than before and this proceeds to increase at a steady pace for say another 40 minutes. What you're met with is a clean focus and perfect amount of energy for any style workout, whether cardio, weights or heavy bag work. At no point is the alpha yohimbine or 2 amino too much nor do you feel like consuming another capsule, not necessary. The energy lasts around 4 hours and tapers off nicely with no notable crash. Overall for the price point and large amount of servings I would recommend this product.
