This is hands down one of best DMHA pres out there, that has no L-theanine, GABA or Kanna any other crap. Grabbed a tub from the last restock at Nutricartel, according to Jake this was the last batch ever.
Taste/Mixability/Serving size - Powder is pretty clumped up, and fixated like that lol It's like little rocks that won't turn into powder, to get the full serving size you have to heap the shit out of the scoop or take 1.5 scoops Mixes just fine though. Actually I was surprised it got dissolved after couple shakes and nothing sat at the bottom of the shaker cup. Flavor is Red Gummy, which reminded me El Jefe's gummy bears flavor. It's kinda nasty but you can just chug it down.
Experience- Barely felt any beta alanine. It took good 45 minutes to peak. It's not a slapper. Energy builds up slowly, but it takes you from zero to 100 for sure. Best way I can describe it that, it will make you LOCKED IN. Super focus , drive , aggressive mood elevation are the main points. DMHA feels legit, it's not euphoric. Mind muscle connection are outstanding, pumps are awesome. I got to agree with HighStimAce view on Citruline Malate being somehow better tha L-Citruline alone. High energy is sustained throughout the workout, you just don't feel any fatigue or pain. It's not a drug addict stim junkie pre, you are not feeling high or buzzing. Just working hard and training as brutal as possible,which I really really loved.
Comparison/Similarity - I could say such DMHA pres has its own category which stands out on pure performance, aggressive mood elevation and endurance. This falls just right in that category along with OG Chaotic Rage, Crack Primal, OG Helios and new Pillager as well.
Post workout - I had good mood, sense of wellbeing and still tons of energy. No fatigue despite the intense training. No major sides effects, except mouth feeling dry and drinking tons of water, like Saul Goodman coming out of dessert. Appetite is down by a lot.
Energy - 5/5
Strength/power output - 4/5
Mood elevation(aggressive) - 5/5
Pumps 4/5
Taste 2/5
Overall- strong 4/5.
It’s a solid high end daily pre workout which delivers long sustained energy. I didn't expect much from the label and from other reviews. It's not much talked pre workout. So decided grab a sample from Ruesco and try it.
Taste and mixability is great. No chemical aftertaste. Blue Ice flavor is I assume is blue raspberry flavor which is really hard to mess up, so it was very enjoyable, also since there not a lot to mask. Energy and urgency comes in fast but in a very smooth fashion, and keeps going for solid 2-3 hours. Focus and drive is okay, it's not the craziest like Piana is displayed in the picture. No side effects, maybe a little elevated heart rate which isn't that big of a deal. You can stack it with pump formula. I used without it to gauge the effects better, since adding pump formula can mellow out the experience and nerf the stimulants in it. I got the pump from training itself. No crazy Vascularity or swole pumps. It's okay
Performance 4/5
Energy 4/5
Mood elevation 3/5
Pumps 3/5
Taste/Mixability 5/5
Overall 3.5/5
I personally would not buy a whole tub, since there are way better daily pre-workouts that works far super than this one. It's not a weak pre on its own though, for beginners or individuals low stim tolerance it's considered as high stim pre.
Rich Piana once said he used 3 scoops of this all the time which is crazy. RIP Legend
I received a sample scoop of this from Ruesco and provided a screenshot of the ingredients list online.
The sample was pretty darn close to a full scoop. I fully intended to do the entire scoop at one time, but the taste was so off-putting that I had to drink only half of it at a time.
I actually started my warmup without any preworkout, as I wanted to make sure this lasted through my entire session. About 15 minutes in, I downed the first half scoop and could feel something kicking in within 5 minutes. 15 minutes later, this was in full swing.
I have heard of people complaining about feeling sick from this, but I am willing to bet that it was the flavor causing this. While there was some nausea that seemed almost yohimbine-ish (which is not a listed ingredient), the flavor is really what made me feel off at first. However, this disappeared after a short time, and the energy really kicked in.
There is a definite tunnel vision here, only focusing on the weights. There was no euphoria and no time-dilation, but just intense focus. Again, there is a very yohimbine-like feel to this, but nothing in regards to side effects. Just a very dirty energy that just kept pushing me through. I had a three hour session and probably could have kept on pushing, but my fitness watch cuts off at that point so I knew I needed to call it quits.
I ran this a little later in the evening (530pm-830pm), and had no issue getting to sleep closer to midnight, and while I woke up a few times during the night, I had no issues falling back asleep.
I have another sample of this to run and hopefully it is a different flavor. That aside, I am considering getting a full tub of this one, as the energy and focus were pretty on point and my training session itself was very productive.
I received a sample of Aventador from Ruesco as a replacement for something else that was out of stock, and boy am I glad I picked this! The packet measured at almost a full scoop, of which I took the entire serving immediately before starting.
Within 10 minutes during my warmup, I could feel the warm glow of the DMHA kicking in. About a half hour later is when I started to feel all of the other ingredients (Ephedra and Synephrine mostly) swell up. After this point I had a permanent layer of sweat until the end, even more so than other PWO's that have GBB in them.
I ran this first thing in the morning before work, waking up from a very groggy sleep, but the energy from this was amazing and defeated any sort of fatigue that I had been feeling. The focus generated by this gave great tunnel vision as well, making time just fly by. Before I even realized it, I was already halfway through my session with what seemed to be minimal effort.
All in all, I would say that this reminded me a bit of the energy that I get from Kill Switch (the Ephedra?) plus the flow from DMHA; not as much of the floaty feeling from KS, but definitely the focus and infinite energy. I could've kept of training after my hard limit, but I needed to get on with my day.
The DMHA felt very well sourced. It kicked in almost immediately and I could still feel it at work over two hours after I was done training (six hours from taking it!). This was a very smooth pre-workout and I can see what all the talk is about with this one. As much as I need to resist my collector-itis, I very much am contemplating picking up a whole tub of this!
I bought this from a fellow reddit or who felt it was too strong, but I've always had a great time running this.
The scoop itself is overdosed, so be sure to weight this one out.
I downed a full scoop right away and could feel a strong head high kick in within minutes. It has a mild sort of lemonade flavor, with no chemical aftertaste. I started my warmup 10 minutes later and a full 15 minutes in, God Mode was in full swing.
I could feel the beta alanine buzz pretty strong for about the first 30-45 minutes, which is about when I hit the hard weights.
I had also paired this with a half serving (one scoop) if Bloodbath for pumps, as the label already has decent pump ingredients. I wouldn't say the pumps were outstanding, but adequate.
Feeling slightly fatigued from the previous day's session and from work itself, I would say that God Mode added much energy in regards to strength, but the focus and specifically the tunnel vision was insane. The myo reps kept me going to failure, and while I wasn't hitting any PRs, I always wasn't afraid to push even though my muscles were sore.
While there was still very much a zone of focus, I did notice my head start to clear a little getting close to the 1.5 hour mark. I downed another half scoop at this point, even though it was likely strong enough to keep pushing me through.
I did feel some effects of the alpha yohimbine, namely some cold sweats, nose runs, and slight dizziness, but it was delayed until much later than other PWO's I'm used to taking, but this may be relating more to the second dose.
After finishing my session, I felt pretty stimulated still. I was able to eat, but could have gone without. I wasn't tired until significantly later (I didn't finish my routine until after 8pm), but didn't have any issue sleeping once I laid down. Hunger didn't strike me the next day until we'll after noon, even though I had some protein the night of. Nothing in regards to a stim hangover either.
In summary, I'm always excited for God Mode and I'm glad to have stumbled upon it before WXN saw it's end. I'm not sure if it's the DMBA or the Noopept, but there is something in here that is special. The focus in here is absolutely amazing and if it had a bit more yohimbine in there, I would be unstoppable against the weights. If you can get your hands on this, it is worth paying a little extra in my honest opinion!
