Default StimX vrs AMP (In Hybrid's Opinion)


First off, I'd really like to thank the guys at Anabolic Xtreme for giving me out a free sample to try!

Secondly I'd like to say, I'm decently stim resistant. I take 2 AMPs usually 30 minutes pre-workout, and I don't feel any big noticeable energy boost, but if I don't take it at all, I certainly feel a bit more sluggish and yawn ALOT more. I'd up the AMP doseage, but I can't afford it!

So, I decided to stack 2 (taken 2 times)StimXs up against 2 AMPs (which I had taken for over 3 weeks prior) as they both seem to be the hottest pre-workout energizers. Here's the ingredients for each....

Stimulant-X by Anabolic Xtreme Ingredients:
AX Proprietary Blend: 200mg
-Green coffee bean extract (90% xanthines)
-Thiamine disulfide butyrate ester (time release thiamine analog)
-Geranium concentrate
Ergopharm's AMP
Amp is a proprietary blend of: 625mg
Chocamine (Theobroma cacau seed)
Geranamine (constituent of Geranium oil)
Caffeine Anhydrous
Caffeine: 140mg

Obviously, very different ingredients. Here's my differences.

INCREASED ENERGY WINNER: Tie?! - Yes, I'm going to have to give this one a tie. While both give me some energy, neither seemed to really kick one anothers butt. I just got a little woken up is all, nothing major to report. I wasn't more energized with either product, I still required heavy metal and motivation to get my ass in gear. I would have loved to use 3 caps per, but unfortunately I didn't get enough free samples of StimX to either run a second trial on 3 caps, or another trial at all! Perhaps I will update this if I buy some StimX and, who knows, maybe change the winner!

CRASH WINNER: AMP - By crash winner, I mean which one let me down the least after the workout. Again, I used only 2 trials of StimX, but after the first trial, all I wanted to do in scool was sleep. AMPs never made me that run down feeling, but hey, it coulda just been the 7 sets of squats. I give it to AMP only by a hair.

PRICE WINNER: AMP - While according to their serving size per container Stimulant X should win, however, I find little to no difference in these two products when dosed 2 capsules (both contain 90 capsules). Therefore, the win (IMO) goes to AMP, as they are 2 dollars cheaper (NOTE: Both prices were taken off www.bodybuilding.com)

OVERALL WINNER: AMP - Yup, AMP takes it by a hair. Only by a $1.00 difference. My suggestion to you? Try both, see what you like. Yeah, one heck of a conclusive answer to a review.... but I don't have any more samples to further this experiment of mine, and don't really know what to tell you.... Overall StimX did provide as much energy as AMP, but I'd really like to use it in higher doses. Until next time perhaps.
