Looking for the best pre-workout energizer!

Hybrid · 10-08-2005, 01:32 AM

I'm still shopping around for a price effective yet HARD hitting pre-workout energizer.

I'm not a huge responder to stimulates. I used to drink tons of caffeine and get little to no effect.

Here's a list of the products I've tried:
Power Jolt by OmegaSports - Wasn't strong enough. Maybe for some, but not for me
No-Xplode by BSN - The kind of energy (with 3 scoops) I was looking for, but too expensive
Green Tea - Obviously not strong enough
Throttle 1400x by Myochem - Stronger than Power Jolt, but again, not strong enough...
AMP - Got a free sample coming in the mail, will add my thoughts on this product later. Hopefully it will be what I'm looking for.....

I can't take an ECA stack because my mom (while supporting me in everything else) won't let me take epehdra/epehdrine.

Also, please keep in mind I'm not looking for an overall concentration boost with no let down. I could care less if I need to sleep for 3 hours after using this supplement, as long as I can REALLY juice my 1 hour out in the gym. I need this for when I start my 5:00 AM workouts before school (because of swimming). I can sleep in school, doesn't bother me. I'm looking for that pill that will get me going hardcore, and make me feel like I want to kill someone

Any recommendations? BTW, I'm 16 years old 154lbs... I know some may say it's too young, but I really want some help!

Power Jolt is more of a focus and drive product over energy.

You mentioned AMP .. I'm thinking that might work for you.

You might also want to check out Thermorexin or Scorch

I just have a 1-2 cups of coffee about 30 minutes before my workouts and it helps perk me up and give me an energy boost. However, I don’t think that it will "make you want to kill someone", LOL

If the coffee is laced with anger pills, maybe... Do they even make anger pills? Maybe I need some. I'm wayyy too docile, and I could megadoes them pre-workout.

htxred · 10-08-2005, 02:41 AM

Redline by vpx sports. slapped me on the back of my head when i tried it.

~~Hacking is a Felony~~ · 10-08-2005, 02:42 AM

I forgot to mention Ready 4 War.

**Peaked_18** · 10-08-2005, 03:04 AM

Yeah R4W is good, I don't really recommend all of these to 16 year olds though.

I know it's not a supplement but listening to heavy angry music can get you going. Maybe you do already but if you don't start. :rock:

Some one said AX's new stim is like crack

It should be up after the O.

**Sixpack** · 10-08-2005, 09:53 AM

For sure AX's new thermo when it comes out, I loved Ready4War, Man's Scorch, Lipo-6, EC stack are my top ones

chlaxman · 10-08-2005, 12:58 PM

Ready4War or BSL Go!

Hybrid · 10-08-2005, 01:32 PM

I've always heard about R4W's formula and wanted to try it. Alot of reviews on it at bb.com almost all are good

Of course AMP has a bit of a following, so I can't wait to try that out.

**ravadongon** · 10-08-2005, 01:47 PM

Man Clout worked very well for me as a pre workout energizer.

**NYCmitch25** · 10-08-2005, 02:13 PM

I learned over time its getting the proper carbs/protien/BCAAs for energy. Get high on stimulants doesnt do much for me lolz. You will crash. i.e 1-2 scoops of whey & oatmeal and hour before hand. Even closer Gatorade/BCAAs 1/2 before (sometimes 1 scoop of whey depending on food intake and routine). 1 Caffine pill 1/2-1 or cup of strong coffee should do. Just a personal preference I guess.

**NYCmitch25** · 10-08-2005, 02:30 PM

Oh yeah I almost forgot a solid heavy metal mp3 lineup.

geoffsherman · 10-17-2005, 08:26 PM

I would agree R4W, the new formula is much better tasting...I have really seen some nice results when I used R4w. I will be cycling it with White Blood even though I could take both together.

BladeRun · 10-20-2005, 04:13 AM

I've tried NoExplode, Amp, various energy drinks, green tea, and honestly, I get just as much benefit from either pounding 2 cups of coffee, or tossing back a caffeine pill or 2 combined with the mp3 player with some intense music on it.

Are you referring to Stimulant X? I've got three of those in my Olympia haul. If they really are "crack-like" in nature, I'll save them for leg day.

yep .. that's Stim X

dude, forget the supps at your age. Just think about someone you want to prove something to. Mental Placebo. Works for me. No reason to spend a fortune on a stimlant at this point. Maybe your Pre-Workout nutrition isn't in check.
