Dark Labs Barbarian Pre Workout

One of my favorites, very smooth energy and no crash.

This is one of my favorite pres. It’s very strong so start off a little lower than you think and work up from there

Great pre! Will not let you down… always sells out fast for a reason…

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

I’ve now used the full 15g dose of Dark Labs Barbarian Pre Workout twice since receiving my Black Friday order—once on a back day and another on a leg day. I was impressed with how quickly the order arrived, just within a week.

As for the product itself, the hype is absolutely justified. Unlike some high-stim pre-workouts that leave you feeling overly jittery, this one delivers a smooth, focused, and clean energy boost that kicks in about 15 minutes after taking it. What stood out even more was the enhanced muscular stamina—it gave me that classic “weights feel light” effect, along with a euphoric feeling throughout the workout.

I’d recommend saving this for a once-a-week treat, as it’s pretty strong. While I felt alert and euphoric most of the day, there was no crash, and I had no trouble sleeping. That said, I wouldn’t recommend taking it late in the day, especially at night. In my experience, high-stim pre-workouts like this are best saved for heavy weekend sessions where you can really push the volume and have time to relax afterward.

Barbarian is my favorite Dark Labs pre along with OG crack Purple. This one will make you feel strong in the gym, throwing weight around like nothing. PR Igniter. Tolerance builds up quick. Once a week hitter. Maybe twice a month at best

Top 5 pre workout

"Crash" isn't usually something I notice with this category of pre, but it's undeniable here. A few hours after taking, you do feel extra groggy and demotivated. That said, during the workout, you definitely get a good rush. It's not on par with the absolute best in the high-stim space, but it's strong.

Almost identical hit as two scoops OG Crack…but in one scoop. Well, my experience anyway. Hits with a ton of focus and energy.

Shipped fast. This was my first high stim pre. I took less than half a scoop it gave me so much energy and drive I did legs twice in one day. I still was amped
