Pre Workout Reviews

Spartacus is a pre-workout supplement from VHi Fit. Fueled by 6 g L-Citrulline Malate, 3.2 g Beta-Alanine, 1 g L-Tyrosine, 357.5 mg of total caffeine (from 3 different sources), 200 mg Eria Jarensis, and 250 mcg Huperzine A, Spartacus provides the energy and focus required for a great workout.

I took Spartacus six times (twice before workouts and four before work). It consistently gave me the energy and focus needed to complete the workout or the shift at work. 

Due to the Eria Jarensis, caffeine dosage, and levels of focus, I would only recommend this for intermediate users of pre-workouts looking to explore a higher-stim pre-workout. Since Spartacus is not overly strong, it is a good stepping stone towards higher stim pre-workouts.

Alpha Supps Pre supplement from Alpha Supps is powered by 1 g Agmatine Sulfate, 375 mg total caffeine (from two different sources), 200 mg Eria Jarensis, 50 mg Synephrine, and 200 mcg Huperzine, Alpha Supps Pre. it provides the energy and focus needed for any circumstance without being too overpowering.

I would recommend this for intermediate pre-workout users looking to try gray-stim products without the potential for adverse side effects.

Vascular Elite Pump is a pure pump pre-workout supplement from VHi Fit. Featuring 6 g L-Citrulline, 3 g HydroPrime (™), 250 mg Sodium Nitrate, Vascular Elite Pump provides the pumps, the whole pumps, and nothing but the pumps!

I would compare Vascular Elite Pump to Cannibal Permaswole, which was another incredible pure pump formula.

I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to get extra pumps in their product. They offer a wide variety of flavors and I observed no chalky consistency. Additionally, since it doesn’t have beta-alanine, stims, or nootropics, it is easy to couple the pre-workout with other products.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for robust pumps with some nootropics, including beginners and advanced users.

Street Series pre-workout is an extreme ride of energy, focus, and thermogenesis. It’s one of those pre-workouts that lights a fire underneath you, enabling you to get things done. 

Due to the stimulants and thermogenic effects, I would only recommend this for advanced users of pre-workouts.

Due to the stimulants (DMHA and Eria Jarensis), I only recommend Nexus for advanced users of pre-workouts.

Darkshred is a fat burner supplement from Alpha Neon. Darkshred will give you the energy, focus, thermogenic, and diuretic effects for a strong cardio session after a cheat meal. It has an impressively  loaded label listing 1.5 g Carnitine-Tartrate, 700 mg Dandelion Extract, 500 mg Horsetail Extract, 500 mg Cordyceps, 394 mg total caffeine (from anhydrous and guarana seed), 200 mg White Willow Bark, 200 mg Forkshiil Root Extract, 50 mg Grains of Paradise, 

I would only recommend Darkshred for advanced users of pre-workouts or fat burners due to the intense thermogenic effects and energy.

I tried Darkshred three separate times, once with a pump product for a lifting day and twice for fasted cardio. Every time, the thermogenic and diuretic effects were strong along with the energy.

DECIM8 provides the focus and energy needed for a long workout. 

I would only recommend this product for advanced pre-workout users due to the included stims and for “stim-junkies” who want a great pre-workout without having to go too strong.

Crack Reloaded is a high-stim pre-workout supplement from Dark Labs. Dark Labs is most known for creating Crack Pre-Workout, Flame Pre-Workout, Ripper Fat Burner, and Herolean Fat Burner, which all feature either DMAA or DMHA.

Crack Reloaded, notably, does not contain DMAA or DMHA.

The question on everyone’s mind is: does it still slap?

Ultra Pre Xtreme is a high-stim pre-workout supplement made by Darkside. Boasting 425 mg of caffeine from two sources, 300 mg of eria jarensis, and 60 mg of hordenine, Ultra Pre Xtreme delivers a surprisingly smooth blend of energy, focus, and euphoria.

I strongly recommend this for anyone who wants to take a break from DMAA pre-workouts and DMHA pre-workouts while still experiencing a strong pre-workout. I’ll definitely be finishing my tub.

Defib V2 is a pre-workout supplement from HR Labs. Its comprehensive formula contains 8 g Citrulline Malate, 2.5 g Betaine, and 2 g GylcerSize (™) for pumps, 3.2 g Beta-Alanine and 1 g PeakO2 (™) for endurance, 1 g Phosphatidylserine, 1 g ALCAR, 600 mg Alpha GPC for focus, 400 mg Caffeine, 300 mg EnExtra (™), and 200 mg Dyanmine (™) for energy. Defib V2 has everything you’d want in a pre-workout.

One time was needed to know that this product is legit. Providing pumps, focus, energy, Defib V2 has got it all. 

I would easily recommend this product to beginners who can take 400 mg caffeine, as it’s well-dosed without any illicit or gray-market stims. 

I would also recommend this for anyone seeking a well-rounded loaded pre-workout without gray-market stims and anyone who wants a productive, get-things-done kind of workout.

I wouldn’t recommend this for “stim-junkies” as the energy is smooth and not overpowering.

Alpha Phlyte Nutrition’s Project Catalyst is a pre-workout supplement from Alpha Phlyte Nutrition. It has returned, but the DMAA has been replaced by 350 mg Eria Jarensis. Unfortunately, it’s not as good as its predecessor in mood elevation and energy. 

Let’s start with how things have stayed the same as the previous version. Both versions have 5 g L-Citrulline Malate, 3.5 g Beta-Alanine, 350 mg Caffeine Anhydrous along with 500 mg Vitamin C and 50 mcg Vitamin B12 (for some anti-oxidants).
