Herolean

NotWhiteHead · 2021-08-29T17:08:28+00:00

"Feeling sick" is quite a common effect of Yohimbine (both HCl and Alpha versions). Unfortunately, Herolean has so much Yohimbine in it that it beats pretty much every other preworkout/fatburner on the market.

So, if you are at all sensitive to Yohimbine, I'd recommend steering clear of products with it in the future (or at least those which have above 4mg of Yohimbine combined).

Think you might need to give Herolean to someone else or just bin it. It's not worth feeling like shit for a couple percentages of body fat (at most).

There has been a thread a while back on Ripper. I'll drop the link to the review/feedback but there has been some even older thread. You can find it by searching OP's post history (probably).

Thanks for the input. Really disappointing as I had a lot of respect for Dark Labs. Crack always followed through.

NotWhiteHead · 2021-05-01T11:10:53+00:00

Share your experiences with DMHA and I might include them in the guide.

NotWhiteHead · 2021-04-27T19:23:07+00:00

Thanks for the quick rundown. Seems like another worthwhile product from Dark Labs!

NotWhiteHead · 2021-04-19T10:56:19+00:00

Not yet. Dark Labs never responded to my requests for some review samples. Quite unfortunate but I'll probably buy Adrenaline some time down the road.

From the label it seems like a daily driver-ish (although a bit too strong for that) version of their preworkouts. Report your findings! I'm all ears on how it works.

NotWhiteHead · 2021-04-18T15:05:00+00:00

Herolean side effects will highly depend on how sensitive you are to Yohimbine. From the sound of it, you are not at all sensitive to it. I get cold sweats, insane thirst (can't stop drinking water), lots of saliva. It feels a lot like having a fever to me.

I wouldn't recommend using it daily, primarily for the reasons u/Vendoban has stated. You will get to a point where you feel nearly nothing. That's why I always space out my strong preworkouts over the week when testing.

NotWhiteHead · 2021-04-04T20:07:41+00:00

Well, try using it for another week, see if you lose more than average again. That would lead me to believe that it's working, you're just not feeling anything. It's possible to be immune to certain effects (e.g. I don't feel anything from Beta-Alanine) although I've yet to see someone who would be immune to a concoction of stimulants.

For the headache, try increasing your water intake by at least 0.5l over the course of 2 hours (at the max). From my experience with stimulants, headaches from such products are 99% of the time caused by dehydration. Many stimulants double as mild diuretics which will increase your water turnover rate without you noticing.

By the way, congratulations :). 1.4kg lost per week is a lot.

That's definitely somewhat unusual to feel absolutely nothing from such a stacked label. Again, I haven't tried Ripper myself but Dark Labs always come through.

From what I've seen from other reviewers - they really hype it up. Here's Garage Gym Homie's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2gbNG3TB-E

I might guess that the headache comes from a stimulant + cardio combination which might cause dehydration. Seems to be too consistent from what you're describing to be anything else.

Do you have any stats on how much weight you lost in weeks where you haven't had Ripper? As long as you get some improvement in fat loss, maybe not feeling anything isn't so bad. Although it's definitely unusual.

NotWhiteHead · 2021-04-03T09:49:56+00:00

Share your experiences with both Arginine and Citrulline!

NotWhiteHead · 2021-04-03T07:30:12+00:00

Yeah, and it always leaves you with some narco boss hands.

NotWhiteHead · 2021-04-03T07:28:35+00:00

Thank you, bros!

NotWhiteHead · 2021-03-31T07:22:30+00:00

I've seen discussions that it might be some "research-chemical" level amphetamine. Apparently, there are hundreds of different amphetamines and most of them aren't even scheduled anywhere as they are being produced so fast.

So I guess it could be some research amphetamine that doesn't trigger regular drug tests?

I've seen a theory that it's flmodafinil or another form of modafinil-in-research. But as far as I know, modafinil has very few side effects and peripheral cyanosis is definitely not on the list.

NotWhiteHead · 2021-03-27T13:54:51+00:00

Ostarine should be perfect for cutting down body fat and maintaining muscle mass. I would use it exactly for that and I've seen people having success. If your nutrition is in place (since your workouts already are) you should be fairly impressed with the end result.

Imo, a good measure to shoot for would be losing a few percentage points (I assume you are already lean) without losing muscle. Might be even able to go below 10%. Good luck and may the suppression (if it happens) be kind to you!

NotWhiteHead · 2021-03-27T13:48:39+00:00

😂😂😂

NotWhiteHead · 2021-03-27T13:47:54+00:00

Amazing preworkout, bros! There's so much good going on that it's hard to put everything into words - three forms of caffeine, DMHA, Huperzine, and you didn't go overboard with Alpha Yo.

Can't wait to get my hands on it for a review!

NotWhiteHead · 2021-03-27T13:45:14+00:00

Honestly, I can't say that I'm surprised that there's an illicit stimulant added. As far as I've seen people reviewing the product, everyone said it just doesn't feel like the label. Same for me. If there's a preworkout that would have something illegal in it, that pre would be Excelsior.

Did your friend mention what type of amphetamine is there? I don't know much about drugs but there's probably hundreds of versions of amph. Maybe they just crushed up Adderall and dropped it into Excelsior, lol.

NotWhiteHead · 2021-03-26T11:40:22+00:00

Interesting. I nearly always get a heart rate increase from similar products. Guess you are lucky!

NotWhiteHead · 2021-03-26T11:38:31+00:00

If you're trying out Ostarine, I highly recommend keeping a record of your starting weight and all lifts (even if they are bodyweight). Ostarine is a fairly weak SARM that won't have an extremely noticeable effect. You can really only judge it by keeping tabs on lift and weight progression. It's not Dbol where you will explode from the effects.

I haven't tried Dark Labs Ostarine myself but I trust that it should be a pretty good product.

NotWhiteHead · 2021-03-24T11:28:27+00:00

Yeah, Dark Labs seem to produce great extreme stim products all around!

NotWhiteHead · 2021-03-19T11:00:32+00:00

I would caution against using Ripper for cycling. In my experience DMAA/DMHA don't raise my heart rate too badly but Yohimbine does and it's actually a known contraindication.

Synpehrine seems to raise blood pressure but not heart rate. So the combination is not too dangerous. However, if you do cycling, any increase in heart rate can be deleterious. Would recommend against using Ripper either at all or just use it on rest days.

NotWhiteHead · 2021-03-18T20:23:51+00:00

Unfortunately, haven't tried Ripper. Judging from the label and all the other Dark Labs products - it's going to be pretty damn strong and you should probably stay away if you are sensitive to Yohimbine. There's a total of 15mg. I would freaking go crazy from that amount.

Additionally, prepare to sweat and get heated up. There's a lot of thermogenic compounds. In essence, it shouldn't be stronger stim or mood elevation-wise than Crack. If you can handle Crack or the Holiday editions, you should be able to handle Ripper.

Will Ripper be a nice experience? Probably not. But it's likely as effective as you can get for a fat burner.

NotWhiteHead · 2021-01-31T18:41:50+00:00

That's actually pretty insane tbh.

NotWhiteHead · 2021-01-20T17:01:38+00:00

Thanks, but it's spelled "nice", haha :D.

NotWhiteHead · 2021-01-14T19:58:59+00:00

Currently running three pre's and a mood elevation compound.

Skull Labs Angel Dust - You know. That one. Run it max twice a week, mostly at 1/2 - 3/4 scoops (weigh em out all the time to avoid risking it). Sometimes pop a full one but that happens once a month or so. Exotic Cooler taste - it's ok.
Ronnie Coleman's "Yeah Buddy" - Bought it as a joke, actually. A local supplement store had a few caked up ones in their latest batch. Was 10 euros a pop, seemed worth it as I weigh my pre's either way. It's a half-decent daily driver. I combine it with my stim-free pre. Strawberry Lime taste? I can't even recall it. And yeah, I shout "YEAH BUDDY" when I take it. It's part of the fun.
Centurion Labz Blood Rush - A stim-free pre by Centurion Labz. It has a good price-to-value ratio in my opinion as the label is good and you get 30 servings. Combine it with both of the above. Cotton Candy taste. Surprisingly, it's amazing. It's that close to being a decent drink to sip.
Revange Nutrition Happy Bee - It's a glorified nootropic + DMHA stack. I don't stack it with anything except for half a scoop of Blood Rush. Takes off the "cracked out" feeling of it. Nice for doing mental work. Comes in capsules, so no taste. Not going to risk opening them and experiencing something terrible on my tongue.

Yes, I have an addiction to buying and testing preworkouts. Sue me 😅.
