Excelsior Pre-Workout Reviews

Very very very disappointed in my 07/26 Excelsior. I’ve tried it twice now, and it has ruined 2 chest and back days for me.

To me, this isn’t a preworkout. It is more suited for a 6 hour long standardized test, marathon, or hike. It gives me no energy until about 2.5-3 hours after ingesting and even then, it’s very slight. You could convince me that this is just 100 mg of caffeine with adderall. Tastes good. Straight nootropic. Good focus and alright mood elevation, but the weights feel heavier.

It has helped me learn that I lean toward more aggressive preworkouts. So if that’s you, l’d save my money from this block of fool’s gold.

Expiration date is 07/26

I got this from Ruesco when the samples went live. I’ve been wanting to try this for a few reasons. 1). It’s super expensive 2). The supposed secret ingredient.

As an aside, I take ritalin so I’m not super sensitive to illicit, rc, or rx stims. This didn’t really hit for me until I went running, once I found my music I was digging it… I ended up making this workout a run and ran about 7 miles when I usually run 5. I have and sometimes do run up to 8 or 10 miles but not this time. 7 miles was enough… this seems like an effective drug for cardio, whatever it is. Focus is sharp, music sounds great, and I was motivated to run harder and faster than I normally do.

Although you would think for the price it would be a bit more magical. It is not. Do not go into this one thinking it’s gonna enhance you, make anything lighter/easier, just go into it thinking “I’m gonna have a good time working out.”

Although I only had the one scoop, I felt like I could have gotten away with using two scoops. It’s not worth the price but it is worth the experience!

Samples at Ruesco go for $8 each, less when you buy more. It’s worth a sample for sure. I’d be interested to see how this compares to other expiration dates because I’ve heard of people having better experiences with different exp dates.

Flavor is great though, tasted like Hawaiian Punch!

Excelsior kicked in fast, within about 15-20 minutes of taking it. Mixed well, tasted good and wasn’t too chalky either. I had laser focus and no side effects aside from sweating more than usual. I would the pumps on this wasn’t that great, I paired it with a pump formula like p.i.m.p . My overall focus and energy was through the roof. Feels similar to adderall, but I didn’t have teeth grinding or super elevated heart rates. No crash either from the pre. Euphoria was alright, music did sound slightly better but I was too busy concentrating on my next sets/reps.

Tastes like fruit punch, I had the 10/25 batch from Predator. Did not know what to expect. Tried it at one scoop and did legs. Didn’t hit me until after the workout. Was high as heck all day. It’s spiked. Didn’t feel like DMHA. I loved it. Tried it again at 1.5 scoops and 2 scoops. Both helped in physical energy and that nootropic highness. One of the most euphoric I’ve ever had.

This is a different kind of preworkout experience. It’s offers crazy tunnel vision focus and good energy. A little bit of a cracked out feeling a few hours after taking it.

The flavor is solid and the workout I had was great. The focus is unlike any other supplement I’ve taken and it feels like you’re in your own little bubble.

Super illicit and “high” feeling so it’s not something I would take more than once or twice a month, but worth it to have in the rotation if it’s something you want to try.

I wouldn’t say it exactly lives up to the hype (I have only tried the 6/26 batch and not the older ones) but it’s definitely got something going for it.

I have not yet even taken more than a half scoop of excelsior because I find it to be unique and awesome, I want to make it last. Once a week or so I will enjoy in this pre workout that makes my whole day feel pretty awesome. There is certainly something in here that is different than most other pres. it does not make me feel completely euphoric, it’s more like a good mood focused on something but I would get annoyed easily at distractions. I can see how taking this daily would be a problem. Be smart and take it rarely and try just half scoop at first it’s plenty nice … I mix half a scoop of cheap pre workout with it for a better pump. I got the 6/26 expiration
