Overview

Gorilla Mode is the brainchild of Derek from the popular YouTube channel More Plates More Dates. It's become one of the most popular pre-workouts among the fitness influencer community due to its massive doses: 9g L-citrulline (not citrulline malate), 5g creatine, 3g GlycerPump, 1.5g betaine, 1g agmatine, and 350mg caffeine. The formula also includes nootropic ingredients like 400mcg huperzine A and 200mg L-tyrosine for focus. Gorilla Mode takes the 'more is more' approach to pre-workout dosing.

Our Verdict

9.0/10 — Excellent

Gorilla Mode delivers on its promise of mega-dosing. The 9g of pure L-citrulline and 5g creatine per serving are industry-leading. If you can handle 350mg of caffeine and don't mind a large scoop, this is one of the most potent pre-workouts available.
