Imperial Nutrition : Excelsior Pre Workout

Super happy that I was able to order this pre-workout again. Can't find this pre-workout anymore in the states, but you guys were able to ship it to me within four days. I was so excited! I ended up ordering three bottles total, and about to get another one just in case.

Takes about an hour to kick in. Then once i start working out i can't stop! Non stop energy for hours and hours! No bad crash. Excellent pre workout

The old saying goes you get what you pay for. This is by far one of the best out there and I've tried ALOT. I have a high threshold for caffeine efficiently and two scoops of this was the limit. Only drawback is that it suppresses your apatite so plan accordingly.

AMAZING

I’ve used various pre workouts over the past 10-15 years and this is by far the best. The boost to energy is insane but must come with a warning that if you take it on an evening don’t think about going to sleep for at least 3-4 hours after your workout ends!! It’s insane

If you have tried Excelsior then you already know the formula has changed and seems to be a little weaker. Honestly everyone this is still the best on the market. Look at the price! Expensive but very effective. If you haven’t tried Excelsior, go buy it and just try it. Could change your perspective on pre-workouts. It’s just an Amazing pre-workout.

Nothing else compares to this...I hope this doesn't get discontinued because it is hands down the best pwo on the market.

Love this one, gives u good pump and focus while training.

I've tried most of the pwo on the market but I can honestly say that there is nothing that can compare to this one. This is by far my favourite pwo !

Really great product, quite expensive but worth it. Its clean, no side effects whatsoever, just serious focus and determination.

Can only agree with previous reviews.By far the best on the market...it will sneak up on you.. and then.. Sweet Mary on the mountain! You´re on for a ride that will last for many hours! The BEST PWO with a smooth Beast Mode!

This is no comparison with other pre workout. I was sceptic but this product is really outperforming all expectations. No side effects, unlimited energy, sky rocketing mood, strength, focus and it lasts very long. Two first times it lasted the whole day with no crush. Simply incredible!

This is the master of all preworkouts! Intensive, delivers maximum energy and unlimited strength! looove this product!!

For me, excelsior is 'the one'. This review is purely speaking from personal experience. In a nutshell, I find the product enjoyable. I experience absolutely no anxiety, no sickness, no heart palpitations, no jitters or crash. I can describe the feeling as 'perfectly clean, natural feeling energy' with a great sense of well being. Basically it just feels 'right'. I feel switched on and capable of owning my session. I use 1 scoop with no side effects. Absolutely love this stuff!

I've been on and off preworkout since I was 17. I'm 33 now and I've tried them all. Literally all of them I have to admit this is better then craze v1. I took it about 4 hours ago and the energy is unreal and focus. I've had to force myself to stop training and it was hard thing to do so just went on a 10km run instead. It's quite a lot money yes but honestly, nothing quite matches this.

This is the king of all preworkouts! Intensive, delivers maximum energy and unlimited strength! No crash no sickness - it’s clean energy for almost 3 hours' Superb!

If you like a high stim pre-workout, this is one of the best you'll get. People who've used Jack3d, Craze v1 etc will like this. A few things i've noticed about it that will hopefully add to some of the already detailed reviews. Dosage: I've tried 0.5/1/1.5/2/2.5 scoops highly recommend experimenting with dosage here. I've had 2 scoop workouts where I felt tired, and 0.5 scoop workouts that I felt amazing. I definitely think there is an upper limit too, as 2.5 scoops didn't help me much. It made me feel like it was harder to activate muscles and focus on the mind muscle connection (though I should note it didn't reduce my strength or work capacity). I also recommend paying attention to food intake around when you take Excelsior. For morning workouts I fasted and took 1.5 scoops, and 0.5 scoop evening workouts with food 1.5-2 hours before have proven good for me, but obviously I recommend experimenting yourself to see what works for you. Regularity: Don't take it 4+ times a week, I know we are not meant to take pre-workout all the time, but the reality is people do. With a weaker, more pump based pre-workout that's fine. But with Excelsior, I feel it loses effectiveness quickly if you take it with high frequency, though you can cruise with 0.5 scoops for a while for a smaller stim kick. Don't go double scooping every workout or it just won't feel that effective anymore. Hope that's been helpful :)

I used to take the OG craze back before it disappeared and I'll tell you, this is almost like Craze with less of a crash and less of the focus you got from OG Craze. However, this give you the sharpness, the stamina and the feel good you are looking for in a PWO. Take 200 mg caffeine and 1- 1, 5 scoops of Excelsior and prepare for the take off.

Only started with a half scoop and man does it kick-in well. Can't wait to see how I feel on 1 whole scoop. The energy, euphoria and stamina is all dialed in. This is the closest thing to OG craze as you can get!

No tingles, jitters, cold sweats, or anxiety. Wouldn't advise taking over half a dose after 5 PM if you intend to sleep.

Try it, I think its one of the best pre-workouts on the market. It makes me go hard during my workouts!

Although expensive excelsior really is the best out there for endurance and strength. highly recommended.

This is literally the best pre workout out there, I have tried the vast majority of them and nothing beats this! Insane energy, usually do 1 hour workouts but on this stuff I'm doing nearly 2 hours and still don't want to stop. Seriously same feeling on this as you'd get with the original craze. You loose sense of where you are! Well worth the price trust me. Buy it!

Clean focus/energy and easily the best pre I've used since the og crz and jack3d (other than this only hydrazine has come close). Only regret is not stocking up on more when they had it on intro offer as it's quite pricey now for a pre workout.

I have tried several pre workouts over the years, and this is the first one in a very long time that I feel has actually given me any extra performance. I felt more focused and on a plus side the pumps are mind blowing!

This product has been great so far. I feel difference from other preworkout. I am not feeling tired as quickly during my workout. I have been doing more reps with Excelsior. I will continue to order this preworkout. I’ve been mixing 1 scoop with water. Soon I will increase to 1.5 scoops.

Would highly recommend this. Would use in morning as it does definitely keep you awake!

I find that 1.5 scoops of this is needed which makes this an expensive preworkout. It’s good though!

Only took one scoop and man what a hit! Kept me going and going. Could have trained for a couple of hours more! No need to, but still.. Superb!

Excelsior is strong, but in all the WRONG ways, it is a car crash of a pre-workout! Really unsure why they would make something that is so full on as you feel out of control and anxious! Stick with Hydrazine.

Stronger than Hydrazine. Could train for hours on this. Only take it once every 14 days for tough leg sessions. Really good, better than craze V1 in my opinion.

For me it’s not as good as the reviews suggest. Did give me a good amount of energy but the crash and how ill it made me feel outweighed the positives.

This does give energy but I found it was less smooth than say hydrazine and with a crash that meant after two uses I gave the tub away.

Nothing else compares to the increase in energy and euphoria that this gives you!

This preworkout is without any doubt the best that I have ever tried. Craze, jacked3d, detonate...,....forget about it. Excelsior kept me up for 14 hours with crazy energy and focus.

Let me just start off with if you buy this try less than 1 scoop or else you will be in the gym for 6 hours straight, getting home and wondering what your mates are doing. This preworkout is legal cocaine. I recommend this preworkout for the gym, night clubbing, partying or as Viagra. You can max out, wait a few minutes then max out again with unrivalled adrenaline and pump. This is expensive but for you STIMULANT JUNKIES buy it! This preworkout does have a small come down, but nothing compared to other things so man up and hit PR's!

Taste is A1 .Energy is a bit intense of this ,compared to Hydrazine its more raw and in your face !!!! Still a top notch pre workout

Potent - Maybe even moments of euphoria. Kills the appetite. We think best used only once or twice a week cycling with other options to avoid tolerance build up. We over used it for a while and the fall was awful. Great tool in the right hands. But more effective used sparingly. A case of 'you can have too much of a good thing'. Fantastic, but use it too much at your peril.

I was looking for something like this a long time. This preworkout is hard to compare with anything! It’s extremely strong and I give you a warning here: don’t take two scopes at first time as we all usually do to check how potent new stuff is. Just don’t do it hehehe! You will be blow you off your feet if you do. What I love in it the most is that it gives you so much steam and focus that is almost impossible to believe especially if you already after 1,5h workout... somehow you just want to keep going! Another thing is: it’s hunger suppressant... you just can’t eat anything for hours, what is good if you on cutting period. To be honest and perfectly clear, if are serious about bodybuilding this stuff is on top shelf of professional preworkouts, period!

Great energy, with no crash.

The pump on this is amazing. You just don’t wanna leave the gym after taking it.

Best pre-workout I've taken in a long while, an amazing energy that lasts for hours! The only problem is it suppressed your appetite all day, which would be perfect if you are trying to lose weight...

This keeps you going for ages. Even if you’re very tired, this will get you going for hours.

I tried a few scoops of this and had to buy a tub it’s that good. The energy is long lasting and although it's very stim heavy it didn’t make me feel jittery. The appetite suppressant effects are quite big and can also make you struggle to sleep if taken in the afternoon. I would compare this to hydrazine but with better pumps.

Definitely the best pre-workout out there! Everywhere has been out of stock, so great to see it back in! No sicky feeling, no funny sensation on the skin and it pushes you further on workouts. Won’t be beaten... hands down!

Excelsior and Hydrazine are both top notch but I would probably give Hydrazine the edge simply cos the cost per serving at £2 a workout is better than the 1.5 scoops of Excelsior I use.

This pre-workout is very strong and very effective, I much prefer it to Hydrazine. Like with the glory days of the original craze this product gives you that mood lift and drive needed on days you need a boost and it really does improve your sense of well-being. Nothing will beat the euphoria of Craze but of all the pre-workouts I have used since then, this is the best yet. Advised not to use in evenings as the stim effect is very long lasting.

Having used pre-workouts for many years I have to say this is a good solid formula. Perhaps aimed more at people with a higher stimulant tolerance, but you can adjust your serving to suit. Recommended product.

All day focus. Super great mindset while on this. No unwanted jitters or irregular heartbeat. All day appetite suppressant strong stuff. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a strong pre-workout.

Hands down, the best pre-workout currently around, similar in ingredient profile to hydrazine but feels much stronger from someone who is a frenzy regular and has tried mesomorph/ans ritual/re1gn/sidewalk kraka/prolific/dy nox/ original formulas. Be warned though you literally probably won't sleep unless taken super early in the morning, even with some of the best sleep aids... but with no sacrifice comes no reward.

If you’ve used Hydrazine then this is similar but whereas I use 2 caps of hydrazine I wind up using 1.5 to 2 scoops of this so it winds up costing more per serving. I also gotta admit the convenience of just swallowing a couple of capsules is a winner for me so get excelsior if you want a change up, but for me Hydrazine just edges it on effectiveness and price per serving.

Just as good as Hydrazine but a lot cheaper, this is the pre-workout to buy at the moment.

I'm using 3 full scoops pre-workout followed by Hydra - Charge of Kaged Muscle (30 min later) ... it's an incredible formula... I may train 2 hours non stop!!! I'm very very happy to use EXCELSIOR!!!

Despite the top reviews this was better than I thought it would be dosing 1/2 scoops which in a blend who knows what we get of each ingredient so 1.5 I found was my preferred dosage -which made me want to lift something heavy, quicker than other pre-workouts I've tried lately. The fruit fusion smelt and tasted like just plain watermelon which is by far my least favourite but my grip strength, focus, and energy to lift for longer was present more than most pre-workouts I've used lately. So all in all, this is one of the better pre-workouts out there and my only gripe would be to up the scoops to 45servings and lower the below £40.

We train at 4am and a decent pre-workout is a must, particularly one that helps control appetite all day long. This is the one. I have most of the gym on it now. It really is good stuff. My wife (Julie) and I take it alternate days continuously and have no tolerance build up. Still good - I bought lots initially just in case the secret ingredient was discovered and it vanished like good stuff often does. If it works very well over and above what I would expect from a pre-workout. The appetite suppressant properties are amazing for getting ripped. It also turns quiet friendly guys at the gym into chatterboxes.

This really hit me very strong and stim loaded. Felt great in gym however afterwards big crash and didnt feel great. Taste was great however.

Great pre-workout. Really makes you focus and sets you on your way to making your goals.

- gives you dry mouth. - very appetite supressant. I would recommend to anyone who needs a powerful pwo. Excelsior is very similar to OG Craze. It gave me long lasting energy and focus, and I didn't give me the jitters or any heart pounding, not to mention it was reasonably priced. However, it did give me a dry mouth on occasion and did suppress my appetite a little. I would recommend to anyone who needs a powerful pre-workout!

The best pre workout I have had in years. Not for beginners though. Increased energy, focus and aggression during workouts. Does affect your appetite in the hours after training, but if you get some food in you're good to go. No crash like with other products. This supplement is in my top 3 pre workout list. If you liked the good old Nox Pump, then you'll appreciate this one. Buy 2 while you're at it.

Wow this is my go to along side hydrazine. Unbelievable energy, tunnel vision and also appetite suppression. Like people have said don’t take it too close to bed. The energy keeps you up for about 6 hours. It’s the only preworkout I’ll take or hydrazine. I was a craze V1 Addict and this fills the void. Nothing comes close to craze 1 but this is right along side of it. Well done imperial nutrition.

Have tried all the best preworkouts including Mesomorph, Kraken, Re1gn etc... Nothing has the same effect as Excelsior. Only Hydrazine is is in the same class. Absolute best pre-workout I have come across. Try It!

Best pre workout I have ever tried, the focus and energy you get is incredible!

This pwo gives energy for DAYS. You will be feeling very focused before and after the workout. Best I´ve tried.

Best prework out I have had in years, session was intense kept me awake all night though do not take in the evening

Tastes more like a watermelon bcaa than fruit punch but still perfectly drinkable. For me, about 10 minutes after I drink it I have to go to the toilet. You get this with a few pre workouts so it's something to watch for before squats or deads if you catch my drift. I like Excelsior, I don't get jittery from it but there is a wide awake focus feeling that lasts beyond my workout, no crash either. I wouldn't take this to close to bedtime as a result.

I am very tolerant to any kind of stimulant but this pre workout is something else. I didn't get the kick up the backside I get with Hydrazine, however endurance was off the scale. I just kept going and I didn't seem to get tired like I usually do. 2 very important things to mention. 1. Do not have this if u plan on going to bed shortly after your workout, it just won't happen. 2. It completely kills your appetite to eat anything so may not be the best for those bulking, but perfect for those who are shredding.

This is legitimately the next Craze. The same effect, meaning increased energy and insane focus. If you ever tried craze, you know this product too.

Very good PWO. It is similar craze v1

Can't say enough good things about this, I just set personal bests on every exercise after just a one scoop of this and feel like I could climb Everest now!
