CRZ™ The O.G.
Here it is. Five years of sweat. Some from the hard work that went into developing this formula, and the rest brought on by taking countless versions of it. Endless trial and error, testing of hunches and theories, and headaches trying to source never-before used ingredients. And too many late nights wondering when that stim-effect was going to wear off so we could finally get some sleep, just `to wake up and do the exact same thing the next day with some minor component tweaked.
While other companies in the industry are hyping up their fan bases by branching out into new clothing lines and selling branded backpacks, we’re over here doing the “heavy lifting.” We’re a company that’s focused on helping our customers achieve physical milestones. Looking fashionable while you do that is up to you. We’ve seen what’s out there, and we know that most pre-workout users haven’t been using anything stronger than a large cup of coffee for years. We’ve done something about that.
Why is it The O.G.? Because with this design we’re returning to what made Craze® great in the first place. We’re talking about a great-feeling experience that’s highly motivating and energizing, but free of those uncomfortable jitters. A good pre-workout is supposed to light a fire under you – not make you feel like you’re trapped in one.
CRZ™ is designed with performance foremost in mind. Enhancing workout performance improves results across the board. Workout after workout you’ll get stronger, you’ll get bigger, and you’ll get more cut. Your performance in the gym is critical, which is why we refer to CRZ™ as “Performance Fuel™.”
In order to enhance performance we looked from every angle at what is involved in making a muscle work and grow, and came up with a solution that takes into account all of these factors. We call our comprehensive design ethos Multiple Pathway Technology. So let’s look at a list of what CRZ™ has to get the job done:
- Increase immediate energy and crush lethargy (Erythropalum scandens, PEA, caffeine, Alchornea floribunda)
- Grease the central nervous system and make it fire (glycine, PEA, Erythropalum scandens, psoralea extract)
- Improve pain tolerance to push through sets (caffeine, phellodendron)
- Build or replenish ATP – the energy currency (caffeine, potassium citrate, vitamin B3 and B6)
- Heighten focus (psoralea extract, caffeine, Erythropalum scandens)
- Promote cell volumization for power and strength (betaine, glycine, potassium citrate)
We’ve been asked about the “lack of pump ingredients” in this formula. As we said with original Craze®, the best pumps come from the best workouts. So if CRZ™ helps you take care of the workout, the pump will come along for the ride. That’s inevitable when you’re pushing yourself to your limits.
In sports supplements, ingredients should be included not only to achieve their primary known ergogenic effects, but also to replace what may be depleted as a result of accompanying ingredients. This is a formulation aspect almost no other company considers. We’ve seen some eyebrows and questions raised due to the presence of DHEA in CRZ™. Its inclusion is demanded by our working philosophy of Multiple Pathway Technology. Like each other ingredient in the blend, it serves to amplify the synergy of the whole.
The incredible reviews for CRZ™ have validated our lengthy and rigorous design process. Almost across the board we received reports of great, lasting energy, increased mind-muscle connection, strong mood boosting effects, and NO CRASH. And these reviews follow samples sent to interested Facebook and Instagram followers chosen at random, not from industry buddies, friends and coworkers, or other covert shills.
In summary, here’s what you can expect from CRZ™ The O.G.:
Solid, long-lasting energy
Enhanced performance in the gym
Motivation to get shit done
Laser-like focus (a cliché now, but the description is perfect)
Mood enhancement
Neutralization of lethargy and fatigue

CRZ The O.G.
No one seems to be giving this product the review it’s deserves… until now. I just dropped 1.5 scoops in my cup before writing this review. I feel amazing right now. Actually, amazing is just the tip of the iceberg, but I’ll get more into the feel/euphoria in a bit.
First let me give some background on my preworkout history. I started taking pwo’s in 2006. I have tried all the greats that are no longer with us (Craze/Jack3d etc.) and everything since then that has promised to be the next earth shattering product. My previous pwo of choice was Hydrazine. I was on my 3rd bottle when I decided to purchase 3 tubs of CRZ the day it was first released. Hydrazine was the closest thing to the Original Craze until now. CRZ blows Hydrazine out of the water. It wasn’t apparent of how magical CRZ was until I was half way through my second tub and had worked up to taking 1.5 scoops.
This is where everything changed. I started getting what I call an euphoric out of body experience when CRZ first kicks in about 30 minutes of ingesting. It’s almost hard to move when it hits, but I have really grown to love this part of the experience on CRZ. A buddy who is taking CRZ is having a similar feeling, but calls the feeling a body “wave”. What soon follows after the initial feel is pure tunnel vision. It is the exact same tunnel vision from the Original Craze. Tunnel vision is hard to explain, but you will know it when it happens. It’s not like other products where you just feel really focused. The mind-muscle connection is felt immediately. I start to feel tendons/fibers in my back that aren’t normally felt. A low dose of CRZ would feel amazing before a massage or stretch/yoga.
Is the euphoria that follows the out of body experience the exact same as the Original Craze? Not exactly, but it’s an amazing euphoric/mood boost that’s in the same realm. The best part is that it lasts for a very long time. My mood/confidence is almost identical to the feel of the Original Craze. Music also sounds amazing while on CRZ.
Now for performance/energy: CRZ lasts for 10-15 hours for me depending on the day and what goes on during that day. I personally love feeling unstoppable for that long of a period. The focus is that of the Original Craze, where you feel like you’re in another dimension and time no longer exists. You become so absorbed in what you are doing and your concentration flows perfectly and effortlessly. It’s the same energy of the Original Craze, that feels like it comes from deep with in your body and soul without any jitters or anxiety. It’s the same feeling of completing your most grueling workouts and feeling like you could do it over again. The drive and intensity during my workouts is borderline inhuman. My strength gains have skyrocketed and I have set PR’s in certain training sessions. It’s an amazing feeling/experience that is very hard to explain without trying it.
Closing notes: the flavor is Berry Lemonade and is sweet/tart but drinkable. The effects of CRZ are getting stronger and more pronounced with each use. Another positive about CRZ is that my quality of sleep at night has been deep (as long as you don’t take it to close to falling asleep). I wake up feeling refreshed and for some reason my soreness the following day of a workout has been less painful.
CRZ The O.G. is almost identical to the Original Craze in all areas. CRZ truly is a blockbuster product and is one hell of a ride. Everything is better on CRZ.

Have used Craze since the beginning. Outstanding pre workout. Craze V2 was ok but now that Craze OG has been released, it’s back to basics. Have been using it for a week and it’s pretty damn close to the original. The energy and focus is amazing and the workouts are excellent. Craze is back!!!

GREAT pre-workout !!!

Been using CRZ for a little over a week now and while I do miss the euphoric feeling of being on top of the world from the original, CRZ is not too far off in terms of focus, energy and mind-muscle connection that I got from craze. Will definitely be buying more once my 4 tubs are gone and hopefully by then they will have a new flavor on the way. And hopefully like the original, they will bring back the seasonal flavors! Driven sports has done it again!

My Craze (CRZ the OG) review…
Phemonenal pwo. Super clean. Great energy. No spike in BP. Some mood enhancement. Increased V02 like you will see from ephedrine. My lungs can breathe way better. Better focus and pump then average. Not the strong euphoria from craze OG, but a very good PED. Flavor was great. Kept me up half the nite- Also after 2-3 hours I was starving. Which is a good thing. I rate this as A+. When I say “clean” pwo, you don’t hear things, hear your heartbeat, you dont spike your BP to 180/100.
Extra strength. Extra endurance. No crash. No beta alanine tingles (I hate Beta-ala)
Easily one of the best on the market
