Gorilla Mind Gorilla Mode Base is a straight up pre workout with stims, built on simple ingredients that hit the basics: blood flow, focus, quick energy, and some strength help.

Straight-up pre-workout with solid citrulline, focus boosters, and just-right stims.

Gorilla Mind Gorilla Mode Base is a straight-up pre-workout with stims, built on simple ingredients that hit the basics: blood flow, focus, quick energy, and some strength help. No hidden blends, no mystery mixes, no extra fluff on the label. This is for hitting the gym and feeling it kick in fast – sharper drive, better pumps, smooth energy, and stronger reps.

The star is 5,000mg of L-citrulline. It turns into L-arginine in your body, which boosts nitric oxide for wider blood vessels and better flow. It also helps clear out ammonia buildup from hard sets, so you don't feel as wiped. Studies show 6-8g is ideal for pumps and performance, so 5g is close but not quite there – still way better than the weak 2-3g in a lot of other pre-workouts. You'll notice better pumps and workout feel, especially if you're not already taking extra citrulline.

1,500mg L-tyrosine is a smart pick here. It's what your body uses to make dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine – brain chemicals that drop when you're pushing hard. It's best for keeping your mind sharp under stress, like during a tough lift, not just chilling. Paired with training and caffeine, this dose helps you stay focused and dialed in, no mid-set wandering.

Betaine anhydrous comes in at 1,250mg. Betaine functions as an osmol

GM Gorilla Mode Base by Gorilla Mind contains 5000mg L-Citrulline, a clinical dose for training performance and pump.

Key Highlights

  • 5,000mg L-Citrulline pumps up blood flow and gives you those visible muscle pumps. It also clears ammonia through the urea cycle, so your workouts don't feel as dragged out when fatigue hits.
  • 1,500mg L-Tyrosine is a hefty dose for focus in a pre-workout. It's the building block for dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine, which helps when training stress starts messing with your head game.
  • 200mg Caffeine Anhydrous hits you with quick energy without going overboard on stims. For a lot of folks, this is the perfect amount for better performance without the crash or daily hassle.
  • 300mg Alpha-GPC brings in some brain boost beyond just caffeine. It supplies choline to make acetylcholine, which helps with focus, drive, and feeling connected to your lifts during volume or technical work.
  • 50mcg Huperzine A keeps acetylcholine around longer by slowing its breakdown. This makes the Alpha-GPC work better and gives you that locked-in vibe focus fans love.
  • 1,250mg Betaine Anhydrous helps with cell hydration and power. Studies often use 2.5g for best results, but this is still a good amount, especially if you tweak your scoops.
  • Fully disclosed label means no guesses – you see every milligram. In a world of shady blends and weak extras, this transparency is a big win.
  • Just six key ingredients keep it simple. No spreading tiny doses over trendy stuff – this focuses on blood flow, focus, energy, and strength for real gym gains.

GM Gorilla Mode Base by Gorilla Mind contains 5000mg L-Citrulline, a clinical dose for training performance and pump.

Who Is This For?

  • Intermediate bodybuilders doing volume hypertrophy who want pumps and focus. 5g citrulline boosts flow, 1.5g tyrosine and 300mg Alpha-GPC keep you connected through long sessions.
  • Lifters after real pre-workout vibes without max stims. 200mg caffeine lifts energy and intent, easier than 300-400mg heavies.
  • Morning gym crew needing quick wake-up before the day. Caffeine hits fast, tyrosine holds focus through stress of early training.
  • Strength-hypertrophy folks wanting output and feel. Betaine aids power and hydration, citrulline brings fuller sessions low-pump stuff lacks.
  • People done with hidden blends, wanting clear labels. Every dose is listed, so you can match it to research, no guessing.
  • Stack builders avoiding all-in-one pre's. Gives core hits – citrulline, tyrosine, betaine, Alpha-GPC, caffeine, huperzine – easy to add creatine or extras.

How to Use

Go with 1 scoop in 10-14 oz cold water, 20-30 minutes pre-gym. Caffeine hits quick, nootropics and pumps need that window to shine in working sets. Stim sensitive? Test half scoop first, especially with daily coffee.

Shaker mixes best, spoon if needed. More water tones down flavor, less amps it up. Empty stomach speeds it, food slows the kick. Skip stacking with other high-stims or burners – count the 200mg in your day. Stacks awesome with creatine, electrolytes, intra carbs for big volume. No need to cycle non-stims, but low-caffeine days help tolerance. Keep it sealed, cool, dry for best mix and freshness.

What to Expect

Minutes 0-10: not a huge rush, but mental clarity starts as caffeine kicks in. Minutes 10-20: energy picks up, tyrosine/Alpha-GPC/huperzine bring clean focus and drive, not wild hype. Minutes 20-40: prime time – workout feels alive, pumps build from better flow, sets flow better.

Minutes 40-90: still going strong for hypertrophy or strength work, rush evens out to steady push. Days 1-7: feel it right away in energy, focus, pumps. Weeks 2-4: betaine shines with regular use, formula gets predictable for better sessions. Not a loader, but sticking with it builds reliability and tolerance smarts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much caffeine is in Gorilla Mode Base?

Gorilla Mode Base contains 200mg caffeine anhydrous per 1-scoop serving. That places it in the moderate-stim range: enough for a clear performance boost, but generally more manageable than the 300-400mg formulas common in the high-stim category.

Is 5g of L-citrulline enough to feel a pump?

Yes, most users will notice meaningful pump support from 5,000mg L-citrulline, especially compared with the common 2-3g doses found in many pre-workouts. Strictly speaking, the most common clinical range is 6-8g, so this is slightly below that benchmark, but it is still a serious inclusion.

What does the 1,500mg of L-tyrosine do in this formula?

L-tyrosine is a catecholamine precursor, meaning it helps supply raw material for dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. In a pre-workout context, that matters because intense exercise is a stressor, and tyrosine is best known for helping maintain cognitive performance under stress.

Why are Alpha-GPC and huperzine A included together?

Alpha-GPC provides choline to support acetylcholine production, and huperzine A slows the breakdown of acetylcholine by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase. Together, they create a stronger focus and mind-muscle connection effect than either ingredient alone.

Is Gorilla Mode Base a good beginner pre-workout?

It is better described as an intermediate-friendly formula than a true beginner product. The 200mg caffeine is manageable for many users, but the combination of caffeine, tyrosine, Alpha-GPC, and huperzine gives it a distinctly performance-oriented feel that can be too intense for someone with no stimulant experience.

Can I stack Gorilla Mode Base with creatine?

Yes. In fact, stacking it with 3-5g creatine monohydrate is one of the smartest ways to round out the formula, since Gorilla Mode Base does not include creatine and creatine supports phosphocreatine replenishment for repeated high-intensity efforts.

Should I take it on an empty stomach?

Most users get the fastest and strongest onset when taking it on a relatively empty stomach or after a light meal. A large meal can slow caffeine absorption and delay the subjective kick, though the formula will still work.

Does Gorilla Mode Base need to be cycled?

The non-stimulant ingredients do not require cycling, but caffeine tolerance is real. If you use pre-workouts frequently, periodic low-caffeine or stimulant-free days can help preserve the energy response.

Why is betaine only 1.25g here?

At 1,250mg, betaine is below the common 2.5g daily target used in much of the performance literature. It still contributes to the formula, but users specifically chasing full research-level betaine dosing may choose to increase serving size as directed or supplement betaine separately.

Is this version the same as every retail listing?

Not always. Some retailer variants have been noted as removing Alpha-GPC, which changes the formula’s focus profile significantly. This version includes the full disclosed formula with Alpha-GPC at 300mg per scoop.

Warning: You will want to read the classics after you read this book!
Format: Hardcover
This book beautifully captures what I didn’t realize was possible until I got to college: That the Lord can speak through great literature. When I was younger I largely avoided reading any fiction books because I felt guilty for not reading my Bible (but for some reason my apologetic books were ok? Lol). However, this book seeks to show (and I think accomplishes quite well) that great literature isn’t a hinderance to the Christian life but actually serves to cultivate a deep and thoroughly Christian imagination. Great literature has the capacity to convict you of your sins, to invoke worship and prayer, and to cultivate our desire to live lives of virtue. Great literature is a mirror through which you can examine your own way of life, but it also acts as a lens through which you can see with fresh eyes the world around you. The author presents a lot of helpful practical advice in here too. Like how to know if a book is worth reading, different ways to approach reading books, as well as a thoughtful critique of the bad logic often used in Christian circles to avoid reading great literature. “In a world that tries to convince us that we are computers or animals, that treats us like automatons or worker bees, what better protest than the reading life? If we are to be fully human, we must practice human acts— civility, creativity, contemplation, charity.” All four of these acts are intertwined with reading great books! So let’s get to it!

A Book to Read and Read Again
Format: Hardcover
I finished this book a few days ago and have been obsessing over it in my mind ever since. Hooten Wilson (which is a delightfully fun name) is a brilliant scholar, excellent guide/teacher, and lover of Christ and the written word and all of that shows on every page. This book is a call to look up from our screens and dive deep into the written word, both Scripture and literature. It is equal parts inspiring and practical. The robust and rich writing of the author is still easily accessible. As one who grew up in love with books and reading, I moved to almost exclusively non-fiction in my adult years. This book inspired me to return to the beauty of fiction once again and to see the value of the written word as a way to love God, not just to gather and process information. I will definitely be reading this one again.

Rich Academic Insight
Format: Hardcover
Near the beginning of "Reading for the Love of God," Jessica Hooten Wilson addresses why we should read fiction, responding to arguments in some Christian circles that we should only read the Bible. Other topics that she covers include the difference between using and enjoying books, how reading can help us develop greater virtue, and how we can rightly interpret books through the "trinity" of rightly balancing the text, the author's intent, and our own takeaways, instead of forcing the text to mean whatever we want. She also shares "bookmarks" between chapters about the reading lives of Augustine of Hippo, Julian of Norwich, Frederick Douglass, and Dorothy L. Sayers. These sections are thoughtful and encouraging, and the latter two are my favorite parts of the book. There is a recommended reading list at the end that offers many wonderful selections, but I want to offer one quick warning. She includes the graphic novel adaptation of Octavia Butler's "Kindred" in her list for school-age readers, and although she mentions that it's more for the 10-12 age range, it is an adult book. The main character is an adult, and the graphic novel includes vivid on-page depictions of racial violence, attempted rape scenes, and a lot of talk about rape. Some older kids can handle that, but it would terrify others and was never intended for that age group. Reading and the Bible Hooten Wilson emphasizes that enhancing our reading skills through literature will help us better read, understand, and appreciate the Bible. She makes excellent points about how learning to read different literary genres will help with biblical interpretation, and she makes a convincing case for how practicing our interpretive skills and becoming more fluent with metaphor and other literary devices will enhance our experience with the Bible. However, I felt that she sometimes went too far, making it sound like Bible-reading is an activity for the well-educated and well-practiced. God intended the Bible for everyone regardless of their socioeconomic class, abilities, or educational level, and even though reading the Bible badly can have negative consequences, this book focuses more on our own literary skills than the power of the Holy Spirit to reveal truth to us, convict us, and comfort us through Scripture. Hooten Wilson provides excellent next steps for people who want to deepen their relationship with the Bible, but I wished that she had articulated additional vital context around this. Audience This book is highly academic in content and tone, and even though I enjoyed this book and found it very enriching, it is only for serious readers. Hooten Wilson writes about highly abstract concepts in complex ways, and she often uses specialized vocabulary without explaining what she means. She also makes lots of references to monastic practices and obscure literary works that even highly bookish Christians are unlikely to be familiar with. This book shares rich scholarly perspectives, but it is not for reluctant or casual readers, especially since Hooten Wilson only acknowledges the worth of popular-level books in the special section on Dorothy L. Sayers. It disappoints me that Christian books about reading are almost always written at such a lofty level that they are inaccessible to the people who need them most. I read hundreds of books every year, including dozens of academic ones, but I still felt that parts of the book were beyond me. If someone wants to begin getting more serious about reading, I would recommend Karen Swallow Prior's "On Reading Well" as a more accessible alternative with similar themes. My other concern is that Hooten Wilson was always the expert in the anecdotes she shared, never the person learning something new. Only one anecdote bothered me in and of itself, and that is the chapter-opening illustration about a time when she set up an undergrad student for embarrassment to make a point during class. The other anecdotes don't involve power differentials and were perfectly fine, but taken together, they give the impression that the author needs to feel superior. I am sure this was unintentional, but I wish she had given examples of times that she lost an argument and learned something new. Conclusion Overall, I enjoyed "Reading for the Love of God," appreciating Hooten Wilson's unique insights and her scholarly perspective on the spiritual importance of reading. This book is deep and thoughtful, and there are a lot of important messages about reading great books to expand your mind, enhance your understanding of Scripture, and become closer to God. However, this book is so dense and academic that it is only for scholarly readers. I wish that this book could be an on-ramp for people who want to get more serious about reading, but it will probably just make them feel judged, lectured at, and so overwhelmed that they give up. This book has great value for people who inhabit the author's literary world or are so well-read that they can make the leap, but I hope that the she will consider ways to effectively reach popular audiences in the future.

Inspiration and affirmation of the richness of a reading life
Format: Hardcover
I listened to Hooten Wilson give a talk about the book and immediately pre-ordered it. It did not disappoint. I haven’t binge read a book like I did this one since last year with Abolition of Man. It was a delight to learn more about some extraordinary and diverse readers such as Julian of Norwich, Frederick Douglas, Dorothy Sayers and others. Hooten Wilson does an excellent job make a case for the ways reading both the Word and literature expands our capacity for living rightly and for reflecting God.
