As soon as I saw the Post I needed to put my app in to try a new Pre-Workout for high tolerance to stim junkies such as myself. I know of Hard Rock Supplements being potent and effective, but this is my first go at their products!
Here we go with Seismic Surge!
Key Benefits of Seismic Surge:
Helps Surge Energy*
Helps Increase Muscle Pumps*
Helps Enhance Muscle Endurance*
Promotes an Elevated Positive Mood*
Helps Increase Concentration & Focus*
Helps Boost Metabolism*
Helps Increase Workout Strength*
Helps Accelerate Muscle Recovery*
No Creatine, No DMAA
Thanks to LeanEngineer and HRS for this fantastic opportunity to try a new product and another thanks for the Bonus goodies seen here:
The tank will be a goal. I am a solid medium so the large will be future goals!
A quick look at the label:
So at first glance we see 2 prop blends..
Endurance, Vascularity, & Pumps Blend:

Energy & Focus Blend:
As long as the effects are desirable than I don't worry a ton about blends. I know some people refuse to use products with blends, but I think Hard Rock delivers the goods. For an unknown company to enter into the market with blends may be risky, but for an established company, I have no worries at all.
I have had experience with some of the ingredients in this product but not all so I am certainly looking forward to see how they work. The main Stim in this product appears to be 2 Amino-isoheptane aka.DMHA which seems to be a replacement for DMAA and/or AMP Citrate. I have only tried DMAA once, and I ran a full tub of a product containing AMP Citrate. The AMP Citrate gave me insane workouts so I am sure this will too.
Ingredients:
2 Amino-isoheptane: One of the newest and most exciting stimulants to hit the market in a while, this ingredient boosts dopamine and noradrenaline uptake causing it to act as a potent focus, energy and mood enhancer.
Halostachine: This ingredient works similar to ephedrine in burning fat as it stimulates the beta receptors found in fat cells which cause fat to be released to be burned as energy.
Octopamine: A metabolite of Synephrine, this compound helps to increase energy and promote wakefulness. Additionally, it supports fat loss while helping to minimize the loss of lean muscle mass.
Theobromine: From the cocoa plant this ingredient helps to produce the “feel-good” sensation you experience while eating chocolate. This helps smooth out the feelings one gets when taking high dosages of caffeine and stimulants.
Beta Alanine: A non-essential amino acid that helps to raise muscle carnosine concentrations which in turn helps to reduce muscle fatigue increasing the amount of work one can perform at high intensities.
L-Arginine Alphaketoglutarate: A vasodilator that increases nitric oxide levels to improve nutrient delivery to muscles and boost athletic performance.
Agmatine Sulfate: A byproduct of Arginine, Agmatine is produced through a process called decarboxylation. This compound has gained much exposure in the supplement industry due to its ability to release growth hormone and its production of Nitric Oxide (muscle pumps).
Caffeine Anhydrous: As the body metabolizes caffeine it increases lipolysis, the breakdown of fat, which decreases fat stored all over the body. Caffeine also helps with suppressing appetite, therefore, lowering the number of calories you intake daily. Caffeine acts as a mild diuretic, preventing water retention and ultimately leading to some weight loss by reduction of fluid retention. This ingredient is added to enhance mental alertness and focus. Caffeine works by stimulating the central nervous system, heart, and muscles.
Synephrine hcl: This compound is found in a variety of plants. Synephrine hcl activates beta-3 receptors. Which sends the body into a thermogenic state. Over time this thermogenic state will aid in fat loss.
N*-Methyl Tyramine: Derived from the amino acid Tyrosine, this ingredient helps to increase energy through gluconeogenesis as well it can help increase cAMP which increases the release of adrenaline.
Alpha Yohimbine: This ingredient is an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor antagonist that promotes the improved lipolysis. It increases the blood flow throughout the body and is also known to help decrease fat synthesis by increasing fatty acid mobilization.
Expectations I hope to get a big surge of energy that helps me get into the zone. After 8 hours of work, I am usually tired and ready to go to sleep. Pre_Workouts are critical for getting in a better workout. Seismic Surge should elevate my workouts to the next level.
Stats
33yrs old, 5'8" tall. 180lbs @ ~15% BF
1 Rep Maxes
Bench Press 210lbs
Squat: 315lbs
Deadlift 345lbs
Overhead Press=125lbs
Workouts
4-5x a week. Usually splits are Shoulders, Chest, Back, Arms, Legs.
Progressive overload where I start with 80% of my 1rm @ 8-10 reps week 1, 85% @ 6-8 reps week 2 until I retest 1 rep max, And then hopefully reset the numbers if we exceed the last number. So far I have retested 1 rep max twice.
