I have taken both Venom 3.0 and Stim X and venom is better overall for thermogenic effect and energy. I have no expiriance with melting point.

They are all tried and proven winners, but Stimulant X is more of an energy boost than straight fat burner. Venom and Melting Point are both excellent for fat loss...I was under the impression that Melting Point was becoming difficult to find as it had been discontinued by the manufacturer.

Your training and diet will have much more of an impact on your success than picking one of these three over the others so I wouldn't sweat it too terribly much. How do you respond to stimulants in general? Pretty sensitive?

I've been working out and eating well but I feel I hit a wall. Melting point is hard to find but it's still around, at least for a little while. I'm ok with stims I took in the past. I love AX products but I heard good things about the other 2 but I also hear they are very different.

Forgot to ask...do anyone know why it was discontinued? That may sway my decision.

stimulant x made me jittery, venom definitely seemed to have better fat-burning effects for a stimulant though. melting point worked great, as long as you've got the patience to wait to the end of the bottle for the fat to come off.

Default Re: which supplement is better?

I agree that Stim X is widely known for its stimulant properties, and some consider it to be not the greatest in the fat burning arena. I've been on a cut now for a while, and have been working my way through a few different goodies from across the arena. Quite honestly, in my own opinion, if diet and exercise are the key to burning the fat, then a stimulant type supplement kicks my bum into that higher gear to push harder and burn more calories when at the gym. With that said, AX's Rampage would be just as good for pre-w/o.

I've only tried a sample or two of Venom a while back but didn't feel anything right away from them. And for Melting Point, I can't seem to find it anywhere, though I was willing to try it.

If you're looking for a gut-fat burner, perhaps a cortisol control agent such as Retain2 or Lean Xtreme?

I've used all three (original StimX, not the current version) and think all are great options.

Venom - If you are talking about Hyperdrive, then you're in for some good results. By far one of the best products for me, and should work well for you, too. You probably won't need more than one cap per day if you keep your diet and cardio in line, even tho you may want to up it to two caps. You probably won't need to, tho.

Melting Point - I stacked it with Sesamin (Scivation's sesamin, not sure if all are the same or not) and got phenomenal results. If you can find it, buy it and get it lined up with some sesamin. Or, look into DCP from RPM... that's a TTA product that has my eye right now and I might be picking some up in the near future.

StimX - I liked the previous version and tried a sample of the new version. Smooth, clean energy, but I can't comment on the new version as far as fat-loss goes. Reviews seem to be good, and based on the ingredients I would venture to say that I'd do well on it. It might be a good appetite suppressant for me, which would help keep my diet in check.

I also liked Animal Cuts, and used it two years in a row to "prep" for a vacation... lol...
