This is for v1. Nice watermelon candy. Gets you high as heck. Very smooth and euphoric at 300 mg DMHA. The low caffeine is nice and allows this to smoothly help you crush your workouts. Wish it wasn’t discontinued. Pumps are solid. Nootropic focus is amazing. Just an all around hitter

Gross flavor. But worth it. This is v2. You sweat your butt off. Alpha yo is perfectly dosed. GBB is felt. Nice hitter for cardio. DMHA buzz is strong and lasts for hours. Euphoric but not as amazing as other dark labs products.

Mood elevation is star of the show. Nice Juglans dose. Good focus. Pumps are insane actually. Great for arms or back day. Plenty of physical energy. Nice nootropic head high. Smooth and long lasting. Very clean energy and well sourced

Mid high end daily driver. Nothing super special. Decent betas. You feel the alpha yo but the caffeine takes the show. Which isn’t amazing. Focus is solid, pumps are decent. Nothing to rave about

This is a unique one. Very smooth from the l theanine and then the DMAA and DMHA take over. Most euphoric one I’ve ever felt. Physical energy is perfect and I hit many PRs on this. Pumps are sick too! Flavor is fine

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!

Euphoria is star of the show. DMHA is very strong but also smooth. Ultra hitter. Nice stim blend with plenty of physical energy. Put this up there with arez titanium

Dark labs is king. Stack your pumps. Euphoria is prevalent. Mood elevation comes in second. Physical energy comes in 3rd. Lasts for hours. You’ll feel like an animal in the gym. Stim junkies only

Light flavor. Light on the belly. DMHA and DMAA combo is out of this world. Feels like real polish manufacturing. Reminiscent of crack purple. Mix between crack purple and crack gold

Highness galore! Euphoria! Physical energy! Mood elevation. Cheesing in the gym. Hitting PRs. Pumps are solid. Flavor decent. This thing is next level. Hands down one of the best ever created. You’ll feel strong from the alpha yo and caffeine. You’ll enjoy your music from DMAA and DMHA

This is hands down one of the strongest and craziest pre workouts I’ve ever tried. You feel strong caffeine at first before any highness. Alpha yo and eria come in and give you a nice head high. Then the DMHA comes in and it’s game on! Super physical energy. Stim junkie only. Head high is out of this world. Pumps solid and focus is nuts. Recommend for advanced users only.

Batch 2 is so much better than batch one. Batch two you get a cleaner DMHA vibe. Caffeine is less intense. Pumps are solid but not amazing. Second batch is more nootropic and less physical energy but there’s plenty of physical energy to help you hit PRs. Flavor is okay not as bad as first batch as well. Recommend for stim junkies only

Ran this for a full body workout the other day, thought it worked alright for having no illicit stims. I’ve definitely built a bit of a tolerance to stimulants so I didn’t get a huge energy boost like I expected with the caffeine dosage. The break alanine tingles kicked in after about 30 minutes and I got a really nice pump that was pretty noticeable during last raises. I did get a boost of energy but it did fade after an hour and I started to feel a bit lethargic. By the time I got to squats I get drained and ended up cutting my workout short. Overall a good pre, will have to run it again after a break from higher stun pres. Flavor was Watermelon Candy which tasted like a watermelon Jolly Rancher. Pretty tasty without being too sweet.

Overall was pretty disappointed with this pre, I was really hoping to get some good mood elevation out of the Juglans, but beyond a decent boost in energy all I could really focus on during the experience was how gross my stomach felt. I think it was mainly a combo of the flavor and the Alpha Yo. I tried running it twice, once with half a scoop and the next time with a full one. Granted this was purchased in 2023 so maybe the formula has gotten better since.

Flavor was tough for me. Didn’t love it.

This provides your average dark labs buzz with high energy. Great workout. Could use better pumps. Definitely better on the dark labs roster.

Scoop/Taste/Mixing- flavor was Blood Orange and tasted pretty good, more pink grapefruit in taste with the bitterness and bright pink color but overall it wasn’t bad at all. Scoop was about 7-8g heavy. Serving size is 17g and scoop weighs 5.5g but full scoop measured over 30g. A scoop around 80% full gave correct dose. Mixed well.

Energy-Energy and urgency came in pretty fast, felt it brewing within the first 10mins. Felt urgency prior to feeling beta alanine. Energy continues to build for first 30 mjns. Fluttering heart and some snot were working up pretty good. Heart rate remained elevated but no real problem with catching breath. Physical energy was high and lent itself to lesser rest periods getting breathing back on track. Good dose of Isopropylnorsynephrine which always works well for me in a stim package. Of course caffeine is very high in this. Felt alpha yo in this better than in other Apollon products. No calming ingredients (Kanna, theanine, GABA) in the pre so there was not a ceiling, which I like

Endurance/power output- no issues in this department. Felt strong throughout workout. Didn’t fell like i lost any speed or strength as I progressed. Explosive on all movements. Moved through sets and reps at a good pace.

Focus-Focus was good, good doses of tyrosine and alpha gpc along with the noopept and pea keeps the mind awake along with the body giving the bright eyes and bushy tail feeling.

Pumps- No pump ingredients so no swelling, hard and vascular from the workout itself. I like this kind of pre for leg days.

Overall- I liked it, it worked for me. This was what I was wanting out of an Assassin, Double Impact and other Apollon high stim experiences. No of those delivered what this delivered to me. This is just energy and focus based which is fine so you won’t be getting a rounded experience but it does what it’s supposed to do. Label lists “Determination, aggression, razor sharp energy and focus” and it does all of those well. The best high stim I’ve tried form Apollon but not my favorite pre from them. I still have a few high stim, non illicit pres above this on but it accomplishes what it sets out to do. The unfortunate by product of this is that I’ll start getting excited for future Apollon/Anarchy ores only to have the rug pulled out from me but today, they win. More of a revelation than a revolution

Scoop/Taste/Mixing-Flavor was Rainbow

Sherbet, which is the one I chose

Of the two since it’s a flavor i enjoy. The taste was pretty good, good notes of lime from the sherbet, no bad aftertaste or not overly bitter. Serving is a 2 scooper. By my scale scoops should’ve weighed 7.95 g’s each to get the fully serving (adding scoop weight with powder). Scoop was a tad heavy a full level but pretty close. Mixed pretty well, had to do a couple of rinse outs to get all the residue out

Energy-Started feeling pre about 20 mins after drinking it. Didn’t come on too strong but build as the yo came on and I got moving around doing sets. Energy was nice, hit good and kept progressing for the next 15-20 mins, peaked and held on throughout my workout and after. High end energy and urgency that felt good. Didnt peak and taper but held on, impressive for single source caffeine that is at a reasonable amount (350mg) compared to a lot of pres in this category. Synephrine, theobromine and Yo combo definitely did the work here caffeine as the backbone of it. Overall more than enough but not overly done with raging heartbeat and shaky knees though heart remained elevated.

Endurance/power output- Endurance was great as the pre had legs from start to finish. Stimulants carried endurance. Didn’t feel gassed and didn’t need much time between sets, though admittedly im coming off deload and getting into the heavy season. More sets and reps but I wasn’t hindered in any way. No power output ingredients but I felt strong regardless. Explosive out of the hole and off the ground

Focus/mood-Focus was great, Alpha GPC and Tyrosine work well for me and both dosed nice and high where I like them and would dose them on a homemade batch. Good mental energy which helps in a sets and reps type workout. Kept me flowing and kept lifts and movements fluid and strict. Kept at it, didn’t jot notes or full with phone between sets, focus on the weights.

Mood was good regardless of what the pre did. Felt good, felt alive. I’ve been in daily driver purgatory for a month so mood was going well to be a hit regardless.

Pumps- No pump ingredients, no problem. Hard from movements. No swelling, proper vascularity

Overall- It was a good pre, I was satisfied with my purchase of it and glad to have it in my rotation. It did all that the label promised it would do with no let downs. Had a great workout on it, it had legs. Went to do my shopping post workout and still felt urgency as

I went down the isles (haha) and focus to remember what I needed without a list. In all seriousness it was a good pre and it more than got the job done. Wasn’t over the top and didn’t blow my head off my shoulders but what it did it did well. Looking forward to using it when the push comes

Mine was clearly very clumped. I believe this forced the flavor to be extremely concentrated. Very hard to get through, but the energy and pumps from this pre were very good.

The riboflavin in this produced a rather strange side effect for me. It turned my urine highlighter yellow. Over ingestion of this vitamin causes this, so, if you have a daily vitamin with already a bunch of it, you’ll get the same effect.

A great nonillicit pre. Immediately after ingesting was the worst part. Not only did I not love the flavor, but my tongue felt inflated and numb for about a half hour after ingesting. Almost like I was semi allergic to an ingredient. Also, some nausea during that time as well. But after that, the workout was amazing. Great energy and amazing pumps with minimal alpha yo saliva.

Original Blood Sport. I responded well to this product. It is a great additive to any pre as it’s unflavored and doesn’t contain any ingredients that interfere with others pres line beta alanine or focus ingredients. Pumps and veiny and hard. I do well with nitrates for pumps and this is what this contains. Stays in systems for few hours post workout

Received V2 Time Cop as a freebie from Nutricartel as part of Labor Day Sale. It’s not something I would have otherwise bought at the price point but was interested in nonetheless. My flavor was Peach Mango, I hate Mango flavored things so it’s was good based on the fact that the Mango didn’t really come through, otherwise it was noting to write home about.

Effects were good. Focus was good, energy was good, pumps were good and it lasted a while in my system giving me energy and alertness for most of the day which was a plus. I ran it a few times, once for lower and once for upper. It didn’t really hold up for squats and deadlifts as it didn’t give me the umph and aggression I crave for those lifts. Did well for upper though as energy and push was there. It was a decent pre. I wouldn’t know it had alpha yo in it unless the label said so I didn’t get any urgency out of it. As a freebie it was great. Had I paid for it, it would’ve got a star lower as my experience didn’t live up to that label or price

Assassin V6.5. This is the 3rd Assassin I’ve tried along with V7 and 8. This is the hardest hitting of the 3 and by default my favorite of the 3. It’s got the good to get going and have a great workout. With that being said, it still didn’t hit that hard or have the hardcore Alpha Yo effect that I enjoy, Apollon’s AY source seems to be of the cleaner variety and I like the harsh variety.

Workout was good, I’ve take. It a few times at full dose and it just didn’t come together completely for me. It definitely takes a back seat to Ronin from the same company as the hardest hitting but overall it’s probably 2nd in terms of physical energy (rank can change as I haven’t yet tried Mad World). Tastes wasn’t horrible and not hard to get down. I wouldn’t rank it high in terms of a non illicit pre but it does the job.

Hooligan V7. To start off I will say I didn’t like it as well as V6 but I could see why people would, after multiple uses I just didn’t get as good of an experience as previous version.

I will say that V7 is more approachable than previous versions as 100mg of caffeine has been shaved off and it is stacked to the point that 1/2 a scoop is still very well dosed. Pumps are better and focus is better, it’s just a little too smooth in my opinion to pull out for a “big day” when you need something extra. I didn’t find it as aggressive as I would like it to be.

In terms of standing on it own, its great, do t get me wrong. But as a Hooligan, I just did t like it as well and I’m reviewing it as a Hooligan. I will say there is an improvement in the flavor department, I got Peach Bellini and it was quite good

Very nice veiny pump from Sicario. Used it on its own for a shoulder/back day and my shoulders and biceps were looking like a road map. Decent energy and focus too, I usually use Panda Pump but this might be my new pick. Went with Peach Rings and found the flavor fairly enjoyable. I have the same flavor of their Swole supplement so I’m if I combine them there’s not much clash in flavor profile.

Really solid high-stim pre, comes close to Crack Purple imo as far as energy and euphoria. Used it for a heavy leg day and was able to add 3-5 reps to a lot of my lifts. Flavor is questionable as expected (think I got Green Apple as my sample). Will definitely consider a full tub with the current ingredient list.

Very solid daily driver, it’s what I’m currently running. Decent energy and mood elevation and super solid pumps. Great overall and I will probably buy again. Blueberry lemonade flavor is awesome.

Decent energy and thermogenic effect but other than that, not much going on here. No pump ingredients and no serious stims. Honestly a waste of money, you’re probably better off with a nootropic or energy drink.

Pretty solid daily driver, I got the black cherry and the taste is awful though. Super clean ingredient list and very solid pump formula. Stims are nothing special but it’s probably fine to take everyday. Would recommend for beginners or people looking for a healthy option

Crack purple ohhhhh my!!!

Are we talking legendary or one of the greatest of all time pre workouts ever… im not sure but its definitely in my top 5 for pure adrenaline and agression for intense leg day sessions or heavy back days… flavor was mid,the experience is phenomenal every time, no crash either … please don’t stop making this DL

God of Rage would be a good beginner level illicit pre workout,

the grape flavor was ok, the energy was average, the mood elevation and euphoria i was hoping for just wasnt there the way i like it , its still a good pre workout and i used an entire tub but wouldn’t purchase again…

SICARIO SWOLE!!! Listen people the name says it all !!!!

If you’re looking for the sickest swoleness and juicy pumps just add one ounce of Sicario Swole to your pre workout with 5g creatine (super compensation with this combination) The taste was great and the pumps were super swole and feeling it for 3 hours straight… Incredible product and ive used alot of powder glycerol pump formulas with very little effect and disappointing.. This one is a keeper and so much fun 🤩

LEGIT PRE WOWWWW!!!

This has to be my new all time favorite illicit pure bodybuilding pre workout of all time!!! I only use Legit Pre for leg day because it gives you that extra kick of aggressive but highly focused and highly driven energy that leaves zero crash but some apparent appetite suppression… Highly recommended this incredible pre workout and the apple 🍏 flavor wasn’t too bad… definitely tolerable !!!! A +++++++

Juiced!!! Wow this one of my favorite illicit high energy high agression super euphoric pre workouts , i used an entire tub at one level scoop and every workout hit perfectly just like the first time i used it !!!! This was from the original batch and the flavor was decent, weird powder..

A++ 🤩

I have the skittles flavor and it’s the best-tasting high stim pre workout I’ve had so far. Insane energy and mood elevation but beware of the crash. Pumps are decent but nothing to write home about, I prefer to stack it with a stim free pre.

Got the Strawberry Mojito flavor, would not recommend. Clumps up in the tub but mixes well after shaking it a few times. Decent to stack with a high-stim pre for good pumps but I prefer maniaco pump over this one.

Works great for stacking on top of a daily pre-workout to convert it into a stim-junkie pre. I stacked it with El Jefe Guerilla, incredible energy and decent mood elevation. Start with 2 caps and go down or up from there

One of the best preworkouts I’ve ever had the pleasure to try. Great power output, energy and mood elevation. No jitters but the energy is a nervous kind of energy, like you get antsy to smash your workout. No crash. Great! 👍 Flavour is tolerable: Tropical Punch.

Perfect preworkout. Power, energy, mood elevation, focus, no jitters and no crash. Plus the positive vibes go on for hours even after maxing out at workout. As far as flavour goes, only tried one which was the “very dark berry”, and it was great, it was actually tasty, which is rare for high stim preworkouts…. tastes like candy… 👍

The sample had to be cherry madness. Might be the strongest cherry flavor I’ve tasted. Could’ve convinced me it was a cherry liquor.

The effects are very similar to the other DMHA pres from dark labs. It’s a great preworkout with great mood elevation for hours after the workout.

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.
