Greetings my fellow homosapiens, I bought my first tub back in September and I’m at my final scoops. I’m also completing my first year as a consistent gym goer this month, that being said gorilla mode is the best pre out there performance wise. Yes it’s pricey, but the quality is there.
Pros:
– highly effective: I workout for about 1.5-2.5 hours per session. I feel the effects throughout at 1.5 scoops. That’s with an advanced caffeine addiction.
– creatine: so far this is the only pre I’ve seen that adds creatine to its mixture. As someone who already was taking it, this is a huge plus
– side effects: it’s been about 3 months w this product and I feel great. No weird energy crashes to report. Pumps look good and I’ve gotten stronger aswell. I get proper sleep (7-8 hrs) every night so I assume that helps too
cons:
– flavor: as the other comments have suggested, the taste is rough lol I have the bombsicle flavor and I don’t recommend starting with that one
– texture: the chalky texture doesn’t make it any easier to go down, hard to describe, it’s not like any other pre I’ve had
-sweetness: once you get past the first two hurdles you get about half way through then the sweetness starts to hit your taste buds. It gets overwhelming the closer you get to the end. makes my jaw tense up
– long term effects: as a caffeine addict, I do not recommend using pre for every workout. I work out nearly everyday and I take pre about 3-4 workouts. This product will shoot your tolerance up. Monitor blood pressure occasionally and use the product responsibly.

Must have product for any serious fitness routine
This pre-workout powder is one of the best items you can have on hand for maintaining a serious workout routine. I have the Bombsicle flavor, which I think tastes pretty good compared to most other pre-workout powders on the market. It’s fairly sweet though, so this is not something you would want to continuously sip on. It’s more of a “mix-and-chug the whole thing” before you hit the gym type of drink. I’ve tried the Legion Pulse pre-workout in the flavor Cherry Limeade before and that was some absolutely gross stuff, but it also didn’t give me much energy. Gorilla Mode, on the other hand, is completely different.About 15-20 minutes after I drink this pre-workout, I am laser-focused and have an incredible amount of energy. I typically workout for between 2-3 hours a session (4 times a week) and have no problem maintaining that energy throughout. Another reviewer on here mentioned that you will be super fatigued after a workout taking this stuff and they are absolutely correct. You better have some protein, lots of water, and rest once you are done with your session, otherwise, you are not going to feel very good the next day.I would say to start out with half a scoop of this powder in just enough water to get it all incorporated before you drink it. It will never fully mix into the water and still be kind of chalky, but that’s just how the ingredients tend to be for pre-workout powder. DO NOT take more than 1 scoop of this powder per day! I tried taking 2 scoops one time and had the most intense workout session ever. But then I couldn’t sleep for 2 days straight, which was a nightmare. So learn from my mistake and follow the directions on the bottle. Seriously, this stuff is no joke when it comes to proportions. But, if you use this pre-workout as directed, you will find yourself making some good progress at the gym regularly.

The most efficacious PW on the market.
You don’t buy this for the taste (which is fine by the way. Given what this contains, it tastes relatively good), you buy this because it contains the highest doses of ingredients that actually boost performance out of all pre-workouts on the market. You buy this purely for performance enhancement, not to have a tasty drink with caffeine.It doesn’t contain beta-alanine, which is the ingredient commonly found in pre-workouts that makes you itch/tingle. Watch MPMD videos about the product to find out why. I see some reviews docking points because ‘it doesn’t have that tingly feeling’, therefore they ignorantly assume that it isn’t as effective. Foolish. If you want tingle, go buy C4. Seriously, compare the ingredient lists, it’s not even close. Anyone can take a little caffeine, a bunch of flavorings, beta-alanine, and a sprinkle of actual effective ingredients and make it taste good. This is as packed with the good stuff as it gets, and the good stuff tastes like powders and bitter chemicals. It’s a miracle this tastes good at all. If I wasn’t getting this, I’d be buying from Coach Greg at HTLT.

Best pre by a mile..

Makes me a bit nauseated when I take it. Flavour in itself is not very good/ appetitising. Pump/ boost is a bit mediocre for me as well.

This is the 3rd container of pre-workout i’ve gone through, with the first being Golds Standard , then Golds Advanced, then decided to treat myself to Gorilla given the insane reviews. I chose the bombsicle flavour which was absolutely putrid, and noticed that the effect was much less chargy and more focused.Unsure if i had a bad batch, but this specific pre-workout does not give me the tingles like Golds Advanced does, and has more of a subtle mental effect. I was disappointed due to seeing the amazing reviews, and wish i chose a different flavour!
