DS Craze Pre Workout Review - Energy? Focus? Come downs? Amazing!
Hi,
I thought I would give a review on DS Craze as I have read all sorts on other threads which have spiralled into conversations of arguments and disagreements.
Okay, I used to take Dorian yates pre work out years ago. Made me tingle and very depressed after workouts and on off days of work outs. This is why I am doing this review....
I am 28 and had an ankle injury 2 years ago which put me out of sports for 12 months. Lot's of physio and heart ache. It made me feel bad, I eat more and became lazy. Playing video games all the time and sitting down a lot.
I was 15.8 Stone 12 weeks ago. I started the gym and 2 weeks into my own programme doing okay, low protein etc etc...... working very hard in the gym.
My friend said, "try craze". I did. i got it off amazon and it was there the next day. £30.00.
When it arrived I gave it a couple of days due to worry of feeling bad again. I needed that boost though so i tried it once. I said to myself, "once, if it makes you feel crap then STOP".
I had one scoop 30 Min's before even entering the gym. 15 minutes and felt nothing. I was driving to the gym and all of a sudden, I needed to turn the music up, my concentration was insane, focus was up and all I could think about was getting in the gym and blasting it. It is a great feeling, although I still had a slight worry to what I would feel like after my workout......
I got in the gym and I had this controlled feeling, focused and bursting with energy. I felt like I wanted to box the hell out of a punch bag as fast and as hard as I can. It really is overwhelming to be honest.
I started my workout, and it was focused, I was lifting a little heavier with proper form and in neat straight sets..... I also train like a boxer alternate days, rope pulling, pull ups etc.....
I had a great work out ending with cardio and sit ups afterwards. My drive and focus was there for 2 hours, and you will feel like doing more but your body does still tell you when you have had enough.
Insane, I felt great having my shower, still Lot's of energy. I walked out the gym feeling like Rocky.
Okay so here is probably the bit you are wanting to know about!
I got home and spoke to the missus more than normal. She could tell I had something. My eyes were wide open and my mouth wouldn't shut up. I had this feeling for up to an hour maybe 2 hours after my workout. My suggestion to you until this passes, is to do some house work, studying, something that needs doing. You will come down but still know you have taken it. I find it's better to take at 11am giving you Lot's of time before bed.
By 7-8pm my body feels warm and like I've done that work out now. I want to relax, watch TV and wait for the next day.
I have had deep depression and anxiety in the past and have found ways that overcome it naturally myself. Mind over power. This can very slightly make you anxious, as them first 2 hours of taking Craze gives you incredible thoughts of, I can do this, I can do that, I am amazing LOL.
It is literally mind over matter though lads. I get anxious at times after taking it, but quickly take myself to before 11am and how I felt then. Before 11am I grab that feeling and use it afterwards if I get down.
It's not terrible though as I know and tell myself, "it's the mind and mind only. look how I feel in the morning".
It's not even that bad, I am just giving advice to anyone who has these slight feelings. It's just because you were driven by craze earlier and you mind is adapting to normal life again. A life that is good remember.
One thisng though which I found amazing and why I still take it. The next day you are totally normal, back to normal 100% and like you have never taken it. Its not addictive, and you don't get anxious when off it. Seriously, it is normal when you wake up and that is what I love about this product. If you do get down as hell after it, then don't worry as the next day after sleep you will wake up feelin totally normal. If you do get really really down then just don't take it!
Anyway 12 weeks on and still taking craze before workouts (If I workout in the morning) as I have started a college course mon-wed. Then on those days I am working out on my own.
I went from 15.8 stone to just under 13 stone and my body is becoming a machine. Don't forget, nutrition is key and craze only helps you at the gym. 80% nutrition 20% gym!!!
I like it and will use it in the future for sure. it gives you 40 scoops. Take 1 scoop the first 3-4 times then up it when you're body doesn't feel it as much to 1.5-2 scoops. 1.5 is plenty though. 2 scoops and you will be hitting the roof with confidence. Not good afterwards.
Enjoy!
