    I agree. Get yourself some Redline. It does wonders. Or go hardcore and get yourself an ECA stack!

    if you get the low carb/low sugar they aren't really bad for you. infact the ginseng, carnitine, etc in them is good for you in moderation

    the caffeine won't hurt you, studies have shown a 200-400mg dose to be beneficial to working out, i down over a gram of caffeine before i workout and it helps my workout focus tremendously

    Caffiene pre-workout is not bad. Most of these supps like NO-Xplode and things of that sort all contain caffine abt 200 mg. (which is reccomended)
