Latest Reviews
One of most effective pws I’ve tried! Very aggressive energy, weights get pushed with so much ease and I felt like I could lift for another couple of hours after a two hour session. Hit a squat PR and then some, and was still able to complete a full leg day after. Pumps were pretty good too, didn’t feel like stacking is necessary. Only issue O had was taste but if you know Dark Labs then you know what to expect. Would definitely buy a tub of it ever comes back in stock.
A high energy pre, that is the overwhelming strength of Barbarian. Energy kicked in pretty quick with a great sense of urgency as heart rate picked up. Energy lasted throughout the workout. Energy didn’t feel clean but was ever present
Pumps weren’t special at all but this isn’t what you get Barbarian for. Focus was good. Endurance was good with only drawback having to catch breath between sets. Power output was good
Tastes wasn’t bad as a normal Dark Labe pre. Kind of a sour grape flavor but very tolerable. I’m just not a grape flavored person.
Overall good if you are looking to forge ahead energy
This might be my favorite dark labs product I have tried, although the flavor is average at best. The mood elevation is amazing, and so is the energy and the power
Physical energy is star of the show. You get caffeine hitting quick then alpha yo. Then the DMBA comes in in such an aggressive way to make you want to sling iron everywhere. DMHA and eria come in to smooth out and give you an insane head high. This thing needs to be tried if you haven’t yet!
Easily made it to my top 3 favorite pre workouts.
Highness and euphoria is unmatched on this one. Weights feel light, crushing pr’s, high energy and mood elevation keeps up with you during whole workouts. You don’t get tired or fatigued. I’ll get myself a tub definitely. I’ve tried it with 3/4 scoops. 12 grams. And I get the all the benefits without side effects.
Flavor is decent, isn’t that harsh like people describe. I tried new batch and it hits just like old version. Powder color is blue but when Mixed in water it’s purple, taste like grape candy.
No side effects during or post workout. I didn’t any crash as well.
This is the strongest DL pre I have tried so far apart from Crack Gold and Maniaco which I have yet to get my hands on.
Imo this is the strongest raw energy and mood elevation pre without DMAA that you can get in the market right now. I took this in the same month I tried out the new Stim Shady (the one with DMHA) and the intensity between these two is worlds apart. The pre hits fast and strong and it takes a while to get used to the sensation but once you do there is nothing stopping you from crushing the weights. Interestingly there was no crush 4-5 hours after I was done with my workout and the entire time I was quite motivated and in a good mood. Also slept like a baby the same night.
The Green Apple flavor ain’t that bad for so many exotic ingredients.
Very close behind crack gold in my opinion. Gave amazing energy and mood elevation.
I believe this may be the best tasting dark labs pre I’ve had. (I got more blueberry than grape, may be trippin)
I took this while extremely tired and it still came through and provided a great workout.
Drink that water.
This one hits fast and keeps building. A second wave of energy hits around the 45min to hour mark. A full scoop will likely be too much for most people. I’m a stim junky and 3/4 of a scoop hits just right for me. I don’t notice any side effects from the alpha-yo. There is no denying this has the goods in it. Probably in my top 3 favorites.
At the time of writing this review, I’ve tried it twice. I’ve always been told that DMBA needs longer rest periods than other stims like DMHA for example. The first time I had this, I was trying to compare it to Euphoria by star labs nutrition. I did read some reviews beforehand because I had read that Crack Barbarian was very strong… it is. The first time I took it, I did the full scoop, wanting to get the full experience. Nothing bad happened, the intensity of my workout was through the roof! It’s one of those pre-workout formulas that make you never want to leave the gym. I went straight to lifting without a cardio warm-up, the energy and focus was intense!
The key hitters in this would be DMHA, eria jarensis extract, DMBA, halostachine, and alpha yohimbine. In comparison to euphoria by star labs, it’s an entirely different beast! Euphoria is my favorite DMBA pre-workout but without DMHA. The workout was so intense for the hour and a half I was lifting that after a while I realized I was seemingly just looking for stuff to do. I felt great, mood was boosted, music sounded great, there was no complaints about the full scoop dosage..: except for the fact that when it was over, I felt like I needed to do more and decided to do a half scoop on the next workout.
The 2nd time I took this, I listened to myself and did a half scoop. This was a much more manageable boost to the energy and mood than a full scoop for me, definitely my sweet spot for this formula. On the 2nd run, I spent about the same amount of time in the gym, but maybe slightly less time lifting.
I will say this about any DMBA centered pre-workout formula… The DMBA crash makes me sleepy. That’s the one side effect that I get out of this and it is actually welcomed. It makes it actually easier for me to sneak in a 30 minute nap on the couch before starting work (typically in the gym at 4am and working by 8:30am). I didn’t get this type of crash off the half scoop, although it is not an unpleasant side effect as I mentioned.
The flavor I got was juicy grape and honestly it seems like it’s the way to go. It wasn’t any tropical or candy like flavor, it’s just like a fake grape drink you would get with school lunch with some medicine aftertaste. I was actually surprised because it could have tasted much worse.
Too intense of a product for me. There are certainly people who will love this preworkout. It’s super high energy and hard hitting. Will have you in the gym for hours not feeling any pain or fatigue.
Taste is not great and the pumps are gonna be good because you’re working so hard. Too much heart rate elevation and sense of urgency for me on this one.
It’s a lot or aggression and a blast of energy. One of the few preworkouts that made me crash later in the day. I prefer a smoother workout experience and even though this was a fun time I will probably not purchase this product again.
