As much as I dislike Apollon products, and wanted to hate on it too, it turned to be very awesome experience. Some reviewers said you’ll be fine with 3/4 scoop, full scoop is too much. So I decided to go with that instead of ingest stupid full 700mg caffeine dose at once

Experience. Flavor is Pineapple Passion fruit coconut flavor. It smells extremely nice, but taste is so bitter that even stacking it with good tasting pump formula did very less to cover the flavor. It’s nasty. Beta alanine started creeping in 5 minutes and stayed for good 30 minutes. It’s mid to high level. The build up of it was really weird, which I didn’t like, it made me kinda lazy at first, killed my mood go to gym but then it subsided and mood elevated start to build up along with energy kick. That’s super weird experience I’ve ever gotten from a pre. At the gym it performed perfectly. I felt strong, driven, focused on it. Exact feeling you want from a pre to pump some iron non stop with great motivation and drive. Surprisingly it exceeded my expectations. At this dose (12 grams) it felt like an amazing high end daily pre workout.

Overall vibes in the gym was happy mood, but in a positive way, not an aggressive, rage feeling.

Can’t comment on pumps since it has none in the formula and I stacked it with full pump formula.

Overall I really liked this pre. Only exception in all Apollon/Anarchy labs line. The rest is straight trash.

Ronin tho is definitely 9/10 experience.

Nice energy and decent focus were the strong points. Tasted pretty decent, no bad after taste but mixing left a little to be desired. Scoop was also off so I’d recommend measuring.

Took and waited to feel it kick but after waiting about 20 mins i didn’t feel any kick or any urgency, which was surprising as the label would at least suggest and accelerated heart beat. Started my warmup and felt enough energy but nothing crazy. Progressed through my workout without incident but I never really felt any aggression or urgency.

Workout was fine, I felt good enough but it was just lacking that over the top it I want from an illicit. Maybe it was because I was tired or because I had Barbarian last week and this wasn’t up to that strength standard,

who knows. Never felt any major mood elevation. Good pre, just doesn’t stand out from the crowd and isnt best in show

Demolish hits fairly nice and provides decent energy for your workout. Based on the label I was expecting a harder slap but wouldn’t have known there was any Alpha Yo in it if it weren’t on the label. DMBA didn’t have too much of a kick either but the combo of it, the DMHA and the Yo provided a good amount of energy for the workout.

Didn’t get a whole lot in the focus or pumps department either, it wasn’t lacking but noting that was special to me. Just felt like a run of the mill pre with noting outstanding. Taste was pretty decent

It’s extremely strong. Not in a way that I could enjoy the experience. Just like Crack OG something just didn’t agree with me. High amount of caffeine is just excessive.

I usually don’t get any elevated heart beat side effects, but on this one I felt it very heavily. Definitely didn’t feel smooth or healthy. Nausea was there as well maybe from stims or the awful taste I have no idea. Flavor is killer guava matcha tea, which doesn’t really taste anything specific and it’s awful

UK based pre workout. I like the experience. It’s nothing crazy. Good beta alanine tingles. Energy and caffeine kick is very apparent. Focus was the star of the show. Makes you locked in during the training. I doubt it has DMHA or juglans. Didn’t felt like it was there, or it was tiny, sprinkled in. Surprisingly pumps were very solid, even tho according to label there isn’t much pump ingredients except Citruline and Glycerol powder.

Flavor was grape, taste is very good, reminds me the grape candy.

Still yet to find a Apollon pre workout that I really liked. Got it from clearance sales. Generally it’s not considered as a strong Apollon pre.

Experience was underwhelming. Was not impressed, and cannot pin point anything that shines in this pre workout. Pumps were nice. Energy was there but nothing crazy.

Flavor I have is blue razz type flavor. It’s also Apollon level flavoring which isn’t the best. I gave Lionheart Youngblood away to my friend, thus I won’t be using them.

Scoop/Taste/Mixing- flavor was Jawz Breaker, a new flavor to me. V1 has been good with flavor in my past uses. This one tastes like watered down and sweetened up Blue Raspberry. No negative aftertaste, it was pretty good. Scoop was pretty bang on and it mixed well, no issues here.

Energy- Nice energy flow, I wasn’t expecting a huge slap so I was pleasantly surprised that it was plenty for leg day. Urgency was good but I didn’t notice an immediate warning to up a move. Beta alanine was very apparent though at 5g, I felt it on both days and im lucky to feel it one every couple of weeks in taking pres. Heart rate was up but not sky high or affecting breathing. Movement between sets was fluid and energy last through workout. I would say medium high that more than held up to what I needed. Didn’t crash and remained consistent throughout the day but with no other stimulants

Endurance/power output- Good power output and explosiveness out of the hole in squats and off chest in incline as well as shoulder press. Pulls moved nicely as well. Explosiveness last throughout session. Quick recovery between sets. No winding down no grinding at the end. Good betaine dose.

Focus-Focus was solid. Form was good throughout movements. Kept on task, little to no distractions.

Pumps- Pumps were hard and vascular. First time seeing the patented ingredient R3TONIC in a pre, couldn’t find out much about it doing research but had epicatechin in it and I respond well to it so their was plenty of vascularity for me. Good pump compound. Chest was full

Overall- Great product. Was going to just run it and write up a quick review but I really enjoyed it so ran it a second day in a row. Much the same results for lower and upper workouts. I’m a fan of V1’s formulas and was not let down. Was surprised it held up well to what I threw at it seeing I’m looking for different things on different days; this has good versatility

I have the DMHA version and its a definitely a hitter far burner/pre workout.

1 capsule is enough to get you through a workout plus HIT Cardio. Energy and endurance is very high level. You feel focused, driven and going through the workout in minimal amount time with pretty much no rest between the sets.

Cardio feels easy, time passes by fast you don’t struggle or feel sluggish to finish the Cardio.

Thermogenic effects are very apparent and strong. I was sweating during workout and Cardio a lot. My hoodie was drenched in sweat Post workout also there was some Sweats but it’s not annoying like the experience I had with Symbiote.

Overall really liked the experience. Advanced pre workout users only. You can add pump formulas and you have complete stim junkie pre workout.

Ok pre, nothing special. Energy is decent, enough to get you through a workout but nothing to reach for on a day where you need to rely on a pre to get you over. I didn’t get much mood elevation but it felt good, clean with no noticeable sides. Focus was about the best feature on this pre. Pump decent but not spectacular or vascular. Flavor was mango, which is a flavor I don’t care for, nothing bad about the overall flavor though.

Favorite ingredient to stack on other pre workouts which can elevate normal daily pre to stim junkie hitter. On its own I didn’t notice any benefits. Tried 1 to 2 caps, didn’t feel much. I believe it gets activated with Caffeine or other stimulants. It delivers extra mood elevation and Euphoria as the name suggests. Personally I don’t use it often, because I already have many high stim DMHA DMAA pres, so I don’t need to add anything on top of it, and not so fan of mixing with other illicit, playing mad scientist. People who will benefit from it the most will be the ones who have many regulars pres and less high stim illicit pres, thus they can stack it with them to make their own DMHA pre.

It’s very cost effective as well.

Surprisingly Bucked Up worked great for me. I didn’t expect much from over the counter mass produced pre, but it delivers what it’s written in the label. Energy kick is pretty solid. For me it felt like just some citruline, caffeine and beta alanine. Focus elements are very underdosed. Strawberry kiwi flavor is very nice, no bitterness. Recommend it for beginners.

Younger brother of El Jefe is one of best all rounder daily pre workout choice. I usually take El Jefe at 1.5 scoops because 2 scoops feels to much sometimes and accompanies with post workout crash, but El Jefe Guerilla hits perfectly at 2 scoops. Experience: Beta Alanine hits quick and strong, stayes with you for food 30 minutes. Energy build up and full experience comes together around 40-45 minute mark. It’s a builder type of pre workout rather than slap in the face. Nothing negative about it, just solid energy, motivation, mood elevation, Focus and drive in the gym. Sense of urgency is mild but I like that way too since I use it on my chill days when I don’t have to go havoc mode and break pr’s. I’ll definitely get a full tub once I run out of my current daily pre workouts. Pumps are 2nd star of the show. Good dose of Nitrates, Citruline and vasodrive AP gives you enormous pumps. I’ve been training chest and delts but my biceps also got a nasty pump and vein action. Flavor is good. Not my favorite flavor which has lemon taste to i,but it’s still nice. Nothing nasty. Overall 5/5 daily pre workout.

Sicario is the best non-stim pre out there. People praise Bare Knuckle as well. I’m yet to try that too.

Sicario new version v3 is an absolutely stacked formula. Both pump ingredients and focus ingredients are well dosed and their quality is very high. My favorite part of Pump Matrix is the Not3 Nitrates. Hefty does of Nitrates gives you Vascular, dry pumps. Focus ingredients such as alpha gpc and DMAE delivers great mind muscle connections thus aiding the pumps that you can actually feel. Looking Swole in the gym while pumping iron. Flavor I have is Cherry Pop which is delicious, goes down easy and very much enjoyable. You can use Sicario as standalone non-stim pre workout or stack it with stim only pre workout.

Diabolical Alpha yo bomb pre workout!

Experience: Took it on empty stomach, 1 scoop is exactly 6 grams, paired it with Bloodbath. Beta tingles comes strong and stays for good 30 minutes. Energy builds up pretty fast. Stimmed up feeling kicks in 15 minutes and keeps building up to hour. Aggression, Focus, Drive, Rage, Explosiveness. It has it all. It puts you in a demon mode, I was training non-stop, mentally and physically you are ready to go right after set is done. Alpha Yo hits hard, you are not gonna question if it’s there or not. Insane Labz knows how to do alpha yo pre. For me I don’t get alpha Yo cold chills or nose runs that much. I’m gonna go on a limb and say it’s as good as Egde of İnsanity, if not better on focus department. It has some cons which is cardiovascular endurance, it’s not that great, post-workout I felt still stimmed the heck up. It’s stays with you for good 3-4 hours no signs of fading away. Also after workout I was salivating, spitting and had that clenched jaw feeling. That happened to me only with Juiced, weirdly enough. But nothing like surviving mode or something. If you are sensitive to Alpha Yo, you might wanna try with half scoop. I’m gonna run it next time with 5 grams.

Overall: Very good choice for high stim pre workout which does not have illicit ingredients. It’s better than Psychotic red and as good as Egde of İnsanity.

Has to be my favorite high stim pre that I have tried without dmha. Feels absolutely amazing. If you want to get a good clean buzz in the gym this is the pre fit you.Great pumps,great mood elevation,great sense of urgency. If you are a stim junky this is a pre you can take maybe 3 times a week without feeling like you are hurting your body. Although I wouldn’t take it 2 days in a row. I watched high stim aces review on YouTube and he is the reason I gave this a try and slow glad I did.Definitely gonna be buying more tubs in the future

For Stim junkies only. I’ve only ever tried the current version 3 so I can’t speak for the previous versions. But this pre smacks you hard.Almost too hard.Might heart rate was to elevated and felt uncomfortable at times.You are definitely sweating as well.You do get a good mood elevation and the 2 amino in here is the real deal. I’ve found that stacking this with a good pump formula like Apollon nutrition bloodsport helps tremendously with bringing down the elevated heart rate feeling. Taste is terrible but I don’t really care how bad any pre tastes. Can’t say I’d recommend this pre to anyone.Dont hate it but don’t love it either.

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

Kill Switch was hyped up as the next new thing, compared to legendary preworkouts like Craze and Excelsior so of course i had to get some immediately!!!

I used it two different times at a full scoop and then again at 1.5 scoops because the first time was so uneventful… Sorry to say this preworkout just didn’t hit for me whatsoever… i felt a mild burst of energy and really nothing after that to write home about.. It left me disappointed after all the hype but maybe i got a bad batch so who knows… i was focused in for hours after using but no euphoria mood boost or something i would wanna use again. there’s plenty of other preworkouts that are much better than this one .. 3 out of 10 training experience on Kill Switch

The apple flavor is ok but the experience is one to remember and something i always look forward to for a special occasion like Leg day or a heavy back training session… very aggressive, euphoric and the weights just feel light and puts you in attack mode for a solid 2 hours!! Zero negatives and something i will look forward to using for along time. As soon as i used it the first time i immediately purchased a 2nd tub … This is special and i hope they continue making it !!!

Pumps are okay, pump products can be added for better results.

Experience : I took 8 grams – slightly heaping scoop like Review Bros did. It took me by surprise even though I didn’t have much hope. Sense of urgency before workout is outstanding in a best way possible. It’s not crackhead type urgency where you are shaky, jittery and have to go the gym like Crack OG, Psychotic Saw or other hardcore pres. You are motivated and excited to go to the gym, can’t wait to train and crush the weights. Mood elevation was super apparent and euphoric buzz did build up before I did my warm up sets. So I knew It’s a great start. Endurance is unmatched, no fatigue or any cardiovascular limitations, feeling light, floaty, focused on workout and driven af, mentally also ready to go with no rest between sets. Weights felt lighter than normal. In terms of strength output it’s very close to Barbarian. PR’s were done effortlessly. Post workout buzz was even stronger than mid workout. I caught myself literally sitting in locker room after shower and enjoying the highness. It’s very unique buzz, better then DMHA/DMAA gives you. No side effects or whatsoever. No nausea, vasoconstriction, stimmed up feeling, no stim dick. Pupils weren’t dilated.There’s something different in it for sure tho , so probably I’ll take it once a month only. Pumps are the weak link. I didn’t add any pump formula to gauge the effect properly. Sour Candy flavor is good, felt more like a lemonade tbh. Generally it reminds me the Wildfire, in both consistently and tastewise with no bitter aftertaste.

Is it worth the hype? It’s a Yes from me.

Mood elevation/Euphoria 10/10

Strength output 10/10

Focus 9/10

Pumps 6/10

It’s much praised pre by reviewers. But personally I doesn’t really felt what I was expecting it to be. L-theanine throws me off and totally unnecessary for such low stim pre.

Didn’t get any high energy, work horse mode from it, I felt like I could train even without it. Good points are that Beta alanine is crazy strong and lasts for could 40 minutes. Pumps are good. Flavor cherry Kiwi is naturally sweetened, it’s nice and sweet at first but after taste is just too bitter.

Scoop/Taste/Mixing-Flavor was “Star Spangled Bloodbath” i chose that because

I’m an enjoyer of Rocket Pop flavors and it’s fairly safe. Taste was good with sight chemical taste on the back end, not bad at all. Mixed wonderfully with that fine powder leaving hardly anything behind. Scoop doesn’t matter since no serving size is listed so I stacked the scooper within an inch of its life.

Energy-Did not have a sense of urgency kick in, instead I had a sense of clarity kick in. All the sudden my mind was in HD, I heard noting going on around me and at the same time I heard everything going on around me, the being on an island effect. Energy was good and sustained throughout the workout. No highs and no lows, just moving forward, no excessive heart rate outside of movements and no heavy breathing.

Endurance/power output-Both were great for me. Though it might bleed into the focus part of the review, my lifts felt impeccable. My bench setup and form were outstanding and it’s helped the weight move. My shoulders were dug into the bench, arch was great, shoulders blades sucked in, lats flared, elbows in, I felt like a tripod with my point of contact and weight distribution. Weight moved nicely and form did not degrade at any point during the rep, pull down, fast brake on touch and right up again. Can’t say it wasn’t heavy because if that were the case I shouldn’t have bothered putting it as my prescribed weight for the day. Everything just moved well with what felt like flawless execution. Self lift offs were great, bar popped off rack, quick swing out over the body, butt touch into weight transferred into the correct spot

Was ready to go between sets and pacing of minute with no active recovery needed. Went hard on every set till the end. Felt good at the end like I could keep going but I got it done so I settled for some burnouts on pushups

Focus/mood-Outstanding focus and mind muscle for me. I was one with the bar and it did my bidding. No other deep thoughts other than getting back to it for the next set or exercise. I was in the moment. Mood great, I was loving what I was doing and doing what I loved. It’s hard to be in bad mood on Christmas though

Pumps- Pumps were fine. I looked like I worked out post session. Execution of movement led to blood flow in muscle. No ingredients to help in that department

– [ ] Overall- As you can tell, it worked well for me. Now is it the be all and end all GOAT, probably not but it was a damn great experience a 5/5, 10/10 workout because it helped me do what I wanted to do with no skips or staggers at any point. Lover the focus and workout ability it gave me. It’s right up there with Alpha Neon Onslaught and Ultima in that regard but we’ll see if it has the legs to conquer the rest of the day like those do.

– [ ] In terms of hype. I’d say it somewhat lived up to it, for me anyway. I cant imagine wanting more that I got out of it which was a pretty flawless workout session. Last year at this time we had the Juice’d hype and that too lived up to its billing for me as far as the illicit, out of control feeling it had, it just wasn’t as real world practical as this one. I’ll throw leg day at Killswitch next to see how it holds up to that. Overall I’m 100% satisfied and the naysayers and hype machine did not bring this down.

This is a different type of preworkout experience for sure.Didnt know what to expect when taking this. There is no beta at all.So no tingles.You get no sense of urgency. You definitely feel the special ingredient but it took me about an hour to feel it after ingesting. It gives you a dialed in focus with a little bit of mood elevation.But very smooth.No high heart rate at all. I did notice several hours after I took it that my mood was definitely increased.I felt very good the rest of the day.i made sure to take this before noon so I didn’t have a chance it it effecting my sleep. Flavor is good too. I’d probably only run this once a month

Up there with some of the best Stim junky daily pres available.This feels stronger than dark labs crack daily on full serving of 2 scoops. Strong beta tingles.Amazing sense of urgency and great focus for a non illicit pre. This is one those pres where you don’t feel like you are harming yourself injesting it.And you can tell the ingredients are well sourced.Decent flavor too.I got the watermelon candy flavor.Has no artificial coloring as well which I think is a bonus.If you at looking for a pre to cycle off illicit pres then you definitely need to buy a tub to add to your collection

Very slept on Stim junky pre for sure.Almost reminds me of the OG Chaotic Rage pre with DMHA. That being that you get a mood elevation but more of a focus to get things done type of feel.The alpha to definitely gives you a great sense of urgency. Heart rate definitely increases.If you are a Stim junky this pre keeps going up in the energy but then smooths out so it never gets to a point of being out of control. Definitely give it a try if you like wildfire but want more of a sense of urgency

Scoop/Taste/Mixing-Flavor is “Berry Blast” and wasn’t too bad, last few products I’ve had from them haven’t been bad at all, still has a bitter finish but isn’t bad. Scoop was pretty dead on as well. Mixed well, just a good finish out and the powder was clear.

Energy-Started kicking in around 15-20 mark. Felt need to get up and start my warmup sets. Did not really build a lot more, just sort of maintained though it wasn’t at as high of a level once I got moving as it felt while I was allowing it to digest. Overall it was fine, I would have preferred a bigger hit but it was fine. Higher dose of caffeine malate in this one and no citrate. Total caffeine yielded 550mg. In Apollon products, I don’t get a lot of alpha yo if it’s under the 2.5 mg mark and this sits at 2mg. Other stims helped maintain as well. As with all Apollon products, the Juglans is the natural form and doesn’t have the synthetic feel to it. This is fine as long as you don’t expect the DMHA/2 Amino kick or euphoria.

Endurance/power output- was good in both aspects. Felt strong throughout workout, no slips from beginning to end off sessions. Weight moved good. No need for a lot of rest.No volume issues

Focus/mood-Focus was good and I felt good with no real mood elevation. Wasn’t really locked in and in the moment. Was making review notes throughout workout and when I’m really locked in I will wait until I’m finished.

Pumps- Pumps were good. Quads/calves were jacked up. Traps/shoulders pumped

– [ ] Overall- Not bad, not great a budget Assassin, though it did more for me workout wise than Assassin probably due to a lighter scoop and less ingredients competing with one another. For the price I’m fine with it, just like with a lot of Apollon products it’s nothing exciting. Like most of their caffeine bombs, it sticks around with you for awhile with functional energy

They’ve somehow managed to create the tobasco cheez it flavor in liquid form. The taste in awful. Prior reviews are correct. This punches in the chest after about the 20 minute mark then chills after about an hour. This holds up my claim of dark labs having the purest alpha yo on the market. Great energy. Doesn’t hit you with sweats, saliva, or sleep problems like other alpha yo pwos.

Decent entry level pwo. Moderate energy, no noticeable pumps. Definitely get a beta alanine tingle with this which I don’t like too much. Could be a decent daily if stacked with extra pump supps. Wouldn’t buy again but it can be used when everything else runs dry. Flavor is pretty good for a pwo.

This might’ve been my favorite Dark Labs product. It hit fast and lasted long after the workout with no crash and all power. It’s strong, it had the nice combo of a big hit of caffeine citrate, Alpha Yo and isopropylnorsynephrine. From a pure workout experience, for me it was great. No highness just grit and grime. Flavor was ok, not spectacular but drinkable. Pumps not special, focus good and positive feelings

I wasn’t as big of fan of Crack Gold as a lot of people are. I’ve still got a tub for almost 4 years ago that I will run on occasion(1-2x yearly). I bought into the hype when I started getting into pres.

The energy is good and solid but not over the top. Focus is good on this as well. I didn’t get much mood elevation out of it or that great of pumps either. It’s an ok high stim pre but nothing special or to covet. I liked the purple tub much better in all aspects even though the energy was dialed back slightly. I don’t know if I jut bought too much into the hype or if it just didn’t hit as well for me as others. It’s good, it’s fine but there are better and for a better price tag. This doesn’t do anything better than other high stims I’ve had

Received a few samples of Alani and ran them on core and cardio days. This is not a product I would buy as the old Secret deodorant commercial used to say “Strong enough for a Man but made for a Woman”. Label is nothing great or that sticks out. Most recent version, that I used, has increased the caffeine amount to 30, increased cit-malate to 8g and increased beta alanine to 2g.

Nothing really stands out about the product except flavors, which are very good, all that I tried. This is nothing more than a daily driver, not the best at that but it will get you moving and thru a workout. Nothing fancy or great, just another alternative that tastes good and provides the bare minimum

Scoop/Taste/Mixing-Flavor “The Big O” which is a grapefruit flavor. Taste was pretty good. Like with Ronin (Blood Orange flavor) Apollon pres lend themselves well to bitter flavors as their sweet flavors really don’t cut through the ingredient panel so bitter serves them well. Scoop was fairly accurate though, took a slightly rounded scoop to get there. Mixed fairly well. Just a rinse out cleared my bottle for the most part.

Energy-Energy comes in quick along with beta alanine. No sooner than I started tingling with 6400 mg of beta, my heart rate elevated and sense of urgency kicked in. Energy maintained at a high level through workout and slowly tailed off. Urgency didn’t hand around a long time and was most pronounced when it first started kicking, heart rate wasn’t as high as initial jolt would lead you to believe. This is the energy levels that you would expect Assassin to be at. Didn’t need any more at any point and stuck around 5-6 hours without noticing a major comedown

Endurance/power output- Endurance and power great. Big dose of Betaine. Good push and pull power. Felt strong and capable.

Focus/mood-Focus and mood were very good. Great dosing of focus ingredients to lock you in the the workout and helped focusing on the form in addition to having the power on top of it. Very clear headed and mentally alert. Mood was decent and upbeat as well. Felt good and felt strong

Pumps- Pumps were solid, felt full, hard and vascular. Not over the top swelling but very good compared to all the vasoconstriction ingredients in there.

[ ] Overall- It was good and balanced with the energy component being the highest of the categories. Top end wasn’t as high as some of the recent ones I’ve used and reviewed like Tweak and Robin but if you’re looking for a more balanced pre without having to add anything to it, this would be it. I found it better than Hooligan 7 and F Mediocre as an all around pre but I like my pres more energy drive than anything. I’m happy with the purchase of it over all. I’d have liked a little more at the top but overall it’s very solid.

Tried old OG formula. Absolutely does not live up to the hype. Didn’t feel any Eria or mood elevation, much energy or strength output. I’d put it even below most daily drivers.

Flavor was Lemon/lime which taste disgusting, had hard time drinking it. After taste is harsh too.

Only good thing I’d say about it, was the pumps. Muscles were swole, rock hard and it lasted for good couple hours. Overall I didn’t like the experience it was underwhelming and 30+ gram serving size does very little to its actual effects on performance.

Great flavor. Probably the best Apollon taste I’ve had. Like a sour blue razz.

The heart rate spike was too much for me. It felt like more of a heart pounder than an energy producer. Some pumps. Overall wouldn’t buy a tub
