I ordered both Deliverance and Maniaco, and they should be arriving next week. What should I expect from each of them? I've been using pre-workout supplements for over two decades, so I've tried a lot of the OG formulas before they were reformulated or banned. For anyone who's used both, which one do you prefer and why? Does the hype live up to the experience, or is it being overblown?

1.) Og Jack3d - The focus and euphoria during workouts were outstanding and lasted throughout the entire session and even post workout. The mood elevation was especially impressive, creating an intense sense of motivation and well-being. While the pump was solid, it wasn’t the most pronounced compared to some other products I’ve tried. However, the enhanced mental effects more than compensated, making the overall workout experience highly enjoyable and effective.

2.) Og No Explode - This was one of the first pre-workout that pulled me into the deep rabbit hole of pre-workout supplements. A big part of my love for it comes from nostalgia, but it’s also because this product played a major role in sparking my passion for bodybuilding and powerlifting. I made some of my best early muscle and strength gains while using it. It provided a noticeable boost in strength, along with a great sense of mood elevation and motivation during training. This pre-workout was also one of the first times I experienced that signature tingling sensation in and around my ears, which became a memorable part of the experience.

3.) Og No Shot Gun - This pre-workout gave me an incredible pump and made my vascularity stand out. I believe this was also the one that delivered that intense menthol sensation, almost as if I had consumed 30 times the amount of mint flavor from a single piece of gum. I could be mistaken, though, since I also took No Synthesizer post-workout, which may have contributed to that effect. Either way, this pre-workout was outstanding and delivered an amazing experience.

4.) Og Excelsior - This pre-workout provided a noticeable boost in energy, motivation, and focus. Even on days when I wasn’t exercising, taking it helped me feel more driven and productive, whether I was completing tasks around the house or concentrating on work. During workouts, it delivered a great balance of energy and mental focus, helping me stay engaged and get the most out of each session. However, if your main priority is maximizing strength gains and improving performance progression, you may want to consider a formula designed specifically with strength focused goals in mind.

5.) Og Mesomorph and og Venom a tie for 5th. Both products provide a noticeable boost in mood and energy while supporting strength and performance. They’ve were effective additions to my routine and are both solid choices for a pre-workout.
