These videos really help, thanks mate 💚
Thanks mate
I’m new to fitness as far as being serious and having a routine thanks for the help!
Nice one mate
Just watched your 2022 review was about to use it to buy some but I saw you had this so watching to the end before I make my mind up
Nice one mate! Let me know what you go for! 👍
Thanks for the Info
Thanks Sam 👌
Hey Curtis great video, not sure if you've made a video, but what do you think of Rich Piana 5% Nutrition 5150 Pre-Workout?
Hello, great video!! Off topic question; what brand / where can I get your this t shirt?
Been taking Redcon1 total war for about 38 days now so far love it get a good pick me up to get through a workout. I can feel myself get warm when it kicks in when taken 30min before workout. Only thing I don’t like about it is it doesn’t dissolve well. Is a little gritty.
What do you say about lazar angelov revolt pre workout.....showing pretty good profile take a review for this as well
I am Caffeine sensitive, i never drank coffee in my life. But i do take pre-works. I always buy the high stem pre workouts, which cost $50+ since im so sensitive to Pre-works i only take 1/4 or 1/2 scoop. And my vains are pumping full of energy just with that. But this is most likely because i dont drink any Coffee for work like most people and i barely drink Soda, maybe once on the weekends when i have a burger.
Happy New Year’s buddy your channel is my first watched of 2023😂😂 but damn that C4 sounds like your gonna be on fire 😂and the good old dependable total war was there but I wish Derek would get a UK distributer for gorilla mind MINT
Thanks Craig! Pleasure to be your first watch! Ya know what.. I’m going to repay the favour after this comment and watch one of yours first too!
Happy new year mate to you Sue and family
But yes agree a Gorilla Mode distributor in the Uk would be great
🎉
Gorilla mode always runs out fast for me, but damn it’s just about worth it. It’s more about how I feel in the mind, not only do I get a massive pump lol I feel great, like my depression goes away for a session. It’s nice
Awesome to hear! I agree it’s the mental focus aspect I enjoy too
Maybe u need some l tyrosine, l Theanine, or something else that supports neurotransmitter levels. Don't take any serotonin related supplements if you take an antidepressant though. 5-HTP plus an SSRI means serotonin syndrome and that's hell.
But if u want to get off an SSRI like I did, try the alpha stim or neurofeedback therapy.
@@breakmanradio2530 hey thanks! i’ll look into it.
@@breakmanradio2530 I was months and months clear of any medications, no SSRIs, and a week of trying 5HTP and I had no idea something awful was about to happen to me. I felt weaker and sadder every day. I was in the middle of my peak progress in a long time too, and then I crashed HARD. Fk 5HTP it took me months before I even felt somewhat leveled out after it. I couldn't even work out or go biking anymore, I felt so physically and mentally unmotivated. I felt like an empty corpse.
Good bless y’all🙏✝️ God is with you all🙏✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️✝️🙏🙏✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️🙏🙏✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️
Great video! What pre workout would u recommend for a beginner?
Mr. Hyde Nightmare is what i take. Tastes great, gives great energy, Last one came filled to the top of the can, I think the filling machine was broken. Looking to buy something different just to see if i can improve the pump.
Any thoughts on nutricost preworkout?
Cool video. Subscribed
Thank you
If you catch the discounts at xmas or 4th july mode has a great price. I remember buying 3pack tub of pre for 34$ each on holiday seasons
Really ?
Would you do reviews on XP96-EXTREME PUMP ?
The price for gorilla should be an L
How is it that expensive?
@@Xavier1...the shipping for UK is very expensive
It’s literally at video game price 😅, kinda worth it though so bittersweet
Broke
@@Reyes6.0 how much money you got
Gorilla Mode gives me always crazy pumps , even at 1 scoop. Steady and good energy. At 2 scoops gives me run at the bathroom after every gym session. Edge of Insanity is crazy strong for energy , i get great kick out of it even at 1/3 of a scoop. Full scoop too strong and felt almost my heart exploding doing cardio. I often use Apesh!t as a simple energy drink : very cheap and decent mild kick .
Have you tried Thavage or HTLT?
Anytime try mr Hyde ? I been going crazy with that stuff at a safe rate and man the feeling never gose away 🎉
Yeah it’s a very strong PRE and made a precious top 5 👌
i noticed some have creatine and some dont. are the ones that dont contain creatine still good?
What are some good flavours for total war?
What about yeah buddy? From ronnie coleman? It is good?
just wanted to mention although it might have low servings, it's also important to consider how many grams per serving is included. Warrior rage has tonnes of servings but very little substance per serving. Just something to consider for future. Love the review though.
Appreciated 👌
i cant decide if whatever extra ingridients gorrilla mode has over total war is worth 10 bucks more. for me its 30 bucks for 30 servings for total war and 50 bucks for 40 serving gorrila mode
Hypermaxx 3D is to me the absolute best well rounded pre-workout ever. It never disappoints.
Honestly think hypermaxx looks great! BUT haven’t actually tried this one to rank it! Thanks for the suggestion 👍
Quantity of L citrulline seems to be very less tho, atleast for one scoop
Nothing like the good old days of ephedra stacked with a coffee and hydration
for me harness gave me the best mental focus ive ever felt from 2 scoops and ive taken many different pre's over the years so that i know of their's nothing that stands out for mental focus unless citicollne is a mental focus
Agreed
which feels better c4 dynasty or gorilla mode?
Been between pre workouts but took Mr.Hyde Nightmare as my first pre workout back into the gym , Currently on ANS Prophecy and debating on trying Batch 27 and Ryse Loaded to help choose which one I should stick to. If Any of you could give me any input that have taken any of the 4 i'd apprciate it. Hyde Gave me good energy but a slight crash and Prophecy tastes meh for me but gives less of a boost despite having more caffine ( 400mg ) in comparison to Hyde Nightmare ( 325mg )
Damn that's a shitload of caffeine.. Doesn't that make you nervous in combination with other stuff then? I used to be a pretty big fan of Vpx No shotgun, but main thing is what's inside it, as i don't think there are many secret ingredients or cocktails that give same effects like, to get great pump, energy, strenght etc.. I think the best NO/pre-workout cocktail is with: a few forms of creatine, like ethyl ester, taurinate, for example. Arginine another one I like, mainly for pump & blood flow, like arginine ethyl ester or AAKG. Then beta-alanine & citruline. Caffeine is not a real NO booster, it stimulates but it's not "real energy". Also I could just drink a few cups of coffee instead.. and 400mg caffeine that's the amount of 5 cups of coffee, pretty crazy. Not that caffeine in itself is unhealthy, it's ok if you don't take too much & would make me nervous. I'd suggest guarana as a more staedy & longer working alternative. If you wanna try some herbal supplements, my suggestions would be: "Tongkat Ali" (for testosterone boost), Maca (energy etc), Mitragyna speciosa (kratom, more the white or green strains). And then there's still BCAA ofc but perhaps that doesn't do much pre-workout, I certainly take it post workout tho. Taurine is said to be good too, mainly for overall fitness, not rly a powertraining boost. So for products that exist I'm not aware of the newer products but most ppl were very satisfied with Vpx and they had most of the ingredients I mentioned (except the herbal ones) and work very good, especially if you train well with it. Gives a good mental rush too.
Anybody here using PMD Ultra Pump Fuel (Insanity)? I've tried maybe four or five pre-workouts and this is by far the best one with many different flavor options and a good ingredient list.
What about apollon nutrition time cop, or hypermax 3D or anything from darklabs?
Based on his list, it doesn't seems he's heard or have tried any of the underground/exotic pres.
Total War is surprisingly good. Great energy, Pump, and cheap compared to others. If you have the money I’d go with Gorilla mode, Apollon Hooligan, or Lion supreme. Didnt get much from Ryse (overrated tbh)
You should tryed kaged elite
Nice, I'm going for Total war simply beause it's easier to get in my area.
Can you put your top 5 pre workout videos reviews from 2015-2023 in a Playlist folder for easier navigation.?
Yeah man great idea!
what do you think are the 5 best C4 products?
On leg day I use to smoke a crack pipe between each set in addition to the 2 scoops of my pre workout cocaine. Only problem is to catch up with my 7 daily meals and to have good rest during nights, but the pump and focus during training is incredible
Nice video, right now there is a promo on the total war, 3 preworkouts for 50$
That’s good!! Thanks for sharing
What would you recommend for helping me going back to mountain biking? I need to lose at least 30 pounds that i gained after a knee injury. I need something for performance and mostly to recover after a few hours on the trails and climbing hills. I don’t want to gain more weight! 😢
All of the pre workouts will be fine for any sporting activity. Regarding the weight loss, it’s certainly something I can help you with too!
Email me: curtis@curtishighfitness.com
And we can discuss your goals in more detail
How does edge of insanity compare? It's got to be up there too. Maybe do a top 10?
I have a top 10 mate on my website that I update through the year,
Edge of insanity is 6th
www.curtishighfitness.com/top-5-supplements/best-pre-workout-supplements/
What you think about Bucked Up Pre?
Yeah really like it! It made a previous top 5 🙌
Been using C4 Dynasty “Blueberries” since they produced it. Couldn’t find better results and taste on other Pre workout…
Great to hear 👌
Does anyone know where I can get Gorilla Mode in CANADA?
Hi, great vid, ingredient wise, which is best pre workout?
I’d say Gorilla Mode 👌
Great vid. Wish you covered caffeine in all 5 instead of just the first one tho.
Thanks mate, next years I will
Sometimes I don’t wants 10 expresso shots of caffeine and considering the ingredients in total war it’s an easy choice
I'm using a Redcon1 Total War in Blue Raspberry flavor and it's just perfect! I lift twice the weight now and I have lasting energy for almost 2 hours. It's a brilliant product!!!
I use the lemonade flavor Total War I'm sticking with it
Gorilla for sure.100% agree. Only issue is they sell out and don't restock flavors
yeah it goes fast!
Any non stim pre workouts you recommend
Yeah check out my top 5 non stim Pre’s
th-cam.com/video/zkSqBA9DkOo/w-d-xo.html
I have a question about the total war product. How does ingredients earn a 2 which is low and performance is a 5 which is high ingredients should equal performance? Haven't tried any of these but I'm needing something new so that's why I'm asking
No ingredients and performance can be complete different things.
If a product had a cheap 20g of L Citrulline malate and 500mg of caffeine your performance would be insane… but the quality of ingredients both health wise and quality would be terrible
@@CurtisHigh thanks think I will try total war
Have you considered adding Pre Jym?
Yeah! Pre Jym made a top 5 a few years back! BUT since it’s just not improved, with 6g Citrulline malate, 2g creatine and 2g Beta Alanine etc it’s just very under dosed compared to the new Pre’s
I wish any of these were available for me here in Germany without having to pay 30 bucks delivery costs
Ahh it’s annoying when there are no local distribution companies! There are several of these that are very expensive to get to the U.K. at the moment too
Bro i’m from europe too,try pre kaged by kaged muscle or kill it reloded by rich piana they are amazing,5% nutrition also has a pump pre workout full as f*ck i like to mix one scoop of that and one scoop of kill it reloded
Im from Belgium and I’m struggling to, but I’m sure they’re are similar pre workout labels.. I’m also figuring out
@@TuscanBrick what do you recommend
@@TuscanBrick i am going to buy from Kosso Nutrition, it’s a Dutch online supplement store from a bodybuilder/rapper.
His supplements are kind of approved, he always says Quality above quantity… so I guess he has safe approved products.. for me my priority is that the supplement is 100% approved.
Opinion on alpha lion ?
Yeah I like it! Would like to see more in the dosage (double the L-Citrulline would be good …4g > 8g) but on the whole it’s a good pre that tastes nice too
did you take into account that we’ll take 2 scoops of all 5 it then it only gorilla mode?
Pre-Kaged Elite?
Edge of insanity never disapointed me
Awesome to hear!
Never!! He had it as his number #4 for 2020 pre workout reviews.
The only thing I noticed is that when I take it too many times in a row, at night my hands are super itchy, I did the experience several time and it's because of this. I had to switch and the itchiness didn't come back :(@@CurtisHigh
👍🔥✅💯
The some of the ingrediance had estrogen is it gonna effect my estrogen and testastron? i didnt understand it
This doesn’t make sense, none of the ingredients contain oestrogen, none of these will effect your testosterone or oestrogen
Which one should I take if I’m doing cardio?
I’m sure it doesn’t matter much, but you could have electrolyte tablets:)) pre workout still can work but it is more based around lifting etc. up to you!!
@@losethjassswhat are they mate cause I do a lot of cardio so would love to try
Which brand contains silica gel packets to avoid clump??
Total War and Ghost do not sure about the others.
GG
how many scoops do u put in a 24oz bottle if u have one?
Each supplement is different, I follow the recommendations on the tub for maximum dose
Any links for redcon 1 as your link in the description doesn’t work
Sorry about that, the Amazon shop seems to be down.. here is a direct link to redcon1 ..
redcon1.com/products/redcon1-total-war-pre-workout
so what were the 2 flavors you tried?
Of..
@@CurtisHigh Gorilla Mode
Wish I could try the gorilla mode pre, but living in the UK I’m not paying £88 plus shipping
Crazy isn’t it! I’m currently in to them about a U.K. distribution! 💪
Anyone know where you can get this from in the UK? Tried the site in the States but won’t ship to my location.
@@stuartmason1871supplement nerd £58 15 flavours
Legend all out has sour green apple
That shipping fee is a huge downside to Gorilla. They need to use usps ground so no one has to pay a fedex ground of $10+.
What's the best pre workout for a sprinter?
Good question! You ideally want something that’s going to slowdown your lactic acid system,
A great way to do this is bicarbonate soda mixed with either cherry or grape juice, but I’m not sure of a specific Pre that has this combo
Is a double scoop of gorilla mode a lot ? Will one scoop do the job?
No it's not.Gorilla Mode it's for beginers, i tried 2 scoops and it's no big deal.I do 2 scoops of Gorilla+BCCA 20.1.1 and it's better 👍😉.But it's a good every day pre workout.
@@packbill77 ok cool thanks for the reply
What happened to Ghost Legend V2?
Still a great Pre! Just thought the All Out was a better version
Gorilla mode ends up being more expensive than any of them because it's like £20 in shipping if you're in the UK.
Yeah sadly! They defo need a U.K. distributor
5g of creatine if you double scoop no? I glanced at it just recently (Dec 2023) and it said 2500mg/serving. Assuming each serving is 1 scoop (for Gorilla Mode)
Yeah correct!
Are there any cheaper pre-workouts out there that are actually worth using?
Imo the best value pre workout is caffeine and theanine pills. Could throw in green tea pills too.
@@dogico how does theanine help and dosage would you recommend
Edge of insanity
Alpine lion is for me
Not heard of that one, unless you mean Alpha Lion Superhuman? Which is a nice pre 👍
I know you dont care about the flavor so much
Thanks for the recommendation
Total war is about $35
I just started taking Crack Gold label by Dark Labs. Holy F this stuff is insane! I think its half pwo and half narcotics 😂
i mean it's fairly well known that it has amphetamine derivatives in it lmao
Zeus pre workout>>>> everything on this list
“I’ve always been a big fan of the C4 lineup” 😂 “Not endorsed by any of these products”
True mate, the only company I’m currently endorsed by is genius nutrition, and none of their products are on my list
Would you say gorilla mind gives you more energy compared to edge of insanity?
Energy wise they’re similar, you certainly feel more jittery on edge of insanity
edge of insanity is the real deal but it’ll definitely give you the jitters big time!
So what I've got from this is.... It doesn't matter what's in it, you get the same performance.
These are all pre workouts that give a fantastic performance worthy of a 5 star rating. It certainly matters what’s in a pre workout for quality and price. But yes Performance wise these will all do the job
@@CurtisHigh
Great review, much appreciated 👍
I went with Ghost legend (Sour Patch Kids) as it's doing more for me than Animal Cuts powder.
i know it's unpopular but gfuel really does the job for me.. .
Best creatine brand?
honestly creatine monohydrate will be the same product and do the same thing no matter what brand, id just get unlabelled pure creatine monohydrate, you'll save yourself a fortune! 👍
Iron rabeeze
Where can I buy gorilla mode from the uk pleaSe
Currently no U.K. distributors mate but will update my links below when they do
Nr 1 Superpump 250🙋🏻♂️🤣
Have you tried any of the Primal Lab ApeSh*t?
Sure thing mate! Feel it’s very under dosed, for 2 scoops it’s only 4.5 L-Citrulline, plus the blend contains a proprietary blend of 6 other ingredients. Not something I’d personally recommend
But 1 scoop of gorilla mind has more ingredients than 1 scope of redcon? So I don't think u can say everyone is taking a double scoop
Obviously not everyone does 🙄
How can ingredients be a 2 but performance be a 5?
Simple.. if I wack 500mg of caffeine and a cheap L Citrulline malate dose of 10g , you’ll have a great workout and perform with a great pump!
But It doesn’t mean the ingredients are healthy for you, a good quality, correct dosage or patented products. These are all things that would determine better ingredients
3:13 video start from
Already chaptered the vid 👍
Gorilla mode still number 1 if you single scoop it ?
Doesn’t hit the same 1 scoop just do 2
Even 2 scoops of Gorila Mode doesen't hit me.2 scoops+1 scoop of BCAA 20.1.1 it's better.Overall a good beginers every day preworkout.
@@packbill77 bros cappin
@@packbill77then stop taking it for like 2 weeks then hop back on, maybe a little more
It is fantastic for me at one scoop because it has so much in it.
Do a video of Pre workouts that are free from beta alanine
A good idea thanks
150 dollars in canada for gorillia mode..
Why is there nothing from dark labs on here ?
I feel even Dark Labs best pre “crack” is under dosed on most ingredients, no trademark products, and again going cheap with the Citrulline Malate, honestly a lot of Pre Workouts much better
Hi! Does Gorilla keep ya up all nighter? I have a hard time sleeping lately...workout late
I personally will only have stim pre workouts (that contain caffeine) before 2pm any thing later I go for non-stim or like you I’ll be up all night! Check out my top 5 non stim pre workouts! 👌👌
@@CurtisHigh i'll check it out :) i only take L-Citruline, Creatine and Beta Alanine with a cup of regular coffee...so if i go for the Gorilla solution, i should watch out when i take it?
@@SamytheBullFitness for me mate any stimulants like caffeine (which will also be on the coffee) will keep me up!
@@CurtisHigh ah i see, maybe that's the problem. I noticed that when i train very intense with dropsets, keeps me up too lol many sleepless nights dreading the morning...cheers and great video by the way!
@@SamytheBullFitness thanks mate!!
I personally think Pre Kaged Elite is better than Gorilla Mode I have tried both and for me personally it's not close maybe try it if you haven't you won't be disappointed
Thanks for the recommendation mate, iv not actually tried the “elite” version of Kaged and it looks great!! Put off by the price again £62.38 per tub is insane! But if it’s a great pre then it’s a great pre! Appreciated 👍
I got the non-elite version of pre kaged but didn’t realize how stupid the formula is and just trusted a top 10 like a sheep … oh well guess it’s better than drinking Red Bull so I’ll just use it as a caffeine source
Can women drink this pre workout???
Of course!!
I use 5150 by 5% nutrition
Yeah a very nice pre! Have a full review vid on it somewhere on my channel 💪
