The good news?

There are plenty of beta-alanine-free pre-workouts that can get you pumped for the gym without the unpleasant “pins and needles” symptoms.

Electro Pre Workout Review

By Kyle Risley
Last updated November 11, 2021


As an affiliate of various sites, including Amazon Associates, I may earn a commission on qualifying purchases via links in this post at no extra cost to you. See Full Disclosure

This pre workout has been discontinued as a result of 2021 DMAA crackdown.

Once it’s gone, it’s gone forever.

Links where you can find it:

  • Muscle Players
    • LIFTVAULT15 = 15% off
  • Nutri Cartel
    • LIFTVAULT = 15% off
  • Muscle Factory SC

Check out other DMAA pre workouts, DMHA pre workouts, or my list of the strongest pre workouts.

Static Labz got a lot of attention in 2020 with the release of 1’3 Volt and Shockwave, two high stim pre workouts that I am a fan of.

As we head into 2021 there’s a new kid on the block: Electro.

Why should you care? Electro has not one, but two types of DMAA in it: 1’3 DMAA and the relatively uncommon 1’4 DMAA. As DMAA pre workout supplements continue to make a minor come back, this pushes the envelope even more.

As part of the 2021 DMAA crackdown by the FDA, Krak’n is no longer being manufactured.

I’m not aware of any retailers that still carry it.

Check out other DMAA pre workout or just buy your own DMAA powder and add it to any pre workout.

Krak’n Pre Workout is a pre workout supplement from God Status Labz, a brand dedicated to hardcore supplements and stim junkie pre workouts.

After getting a lot of attention for Zeus, a pre workout that made the list of best DMHA pre workouts, people understandably wanted to know about the other pre workouts from God Status.

And it was hard to ignore Krak’n.
