Searching for a new pre-workout

[Alex30]

What are some characteristics you look for when searching for a Pre-workout formula? I'm having a hard time finding anything that doesn't make me gag and I really don't like pills.

[bcaasdirty]

small scoops
intensity focus is priority 1
pumps is priority 2

jack3d has fit those 3 criteria for me the best...and its cheap to boot

[kryptonite1986]

imho, i like superpump 250 refreshing orange. taste is good literally taste like tang. yes some people refer to it as superdump lol but ill take the rumbly stomach for the excellent focus and pump it gives me. ive taken jacked in the past and hated it cause of the high caffine, i could never sleep at nite. good luck btw

Recently, I've tried No Xplode but after a while, stopped seeing results. I have also tried Jack3D Tropical Fruit Punch and I can barely get it down - and keep it down! LOL Then there's Xpand Xtreme - which was NOT smooth at all. Anadraulic State GT was horrible tasting lol.

yea i like the jack3d as well...i like the fact that its a tiny scoop yet packs a punch...yea they all suck in taste but were not drinking it for the flavore so you have to just man up....maybee chase it with somthing better tasting if you have to...

call me crazy but teh fruit punch isnt THAT bad...if these supp companies had half a brain theyd make CAKE flavored stuff...nomnom

[Standby]

there is this stuff called austified. i use it and i like it more then jack3d look into it

[dsldsl1980]

I used to take NO Vapor and like the taste of that but I switched to Jacked 3d because of cost and the size of the drink. I can drink 6-8oz faster than 12 .

[Dukkit]

food.
and caffeine pills

thats all i use

Before spending money on anything, I want to give it a try first. After talking to a lot of my gym partners, a good friend of mine is gonna hook me up with something that hasn't hit the market yet. I'm quite stoked about it!

I think it's called Body Rush or something.... but it's supposed to taste REALLY good! I'll be able to try it in about a week or so. I'll keep you posted.

Will do!

[MAC27]

Xpand has worked really well for me. gives me the energy and focus i needed! no harsh let downs either..

[blueb]

I've tried most N.o. products, so far the best has been Dymatize Xpand Xtreme, and tastes great.

[mlb29]

anadraulic gt the new batch taste better and is my fav preworkout by far

[...aydn...]

[l2elapse]

Jack3d, its cheap and best overall imo

[LightSwitch]

Geronimo from True Protein is the best I've tried so far. 1 Scoop Geronimo and some leucine, alanine, glutamine, glycerol and you'e gtg!

[Dukkit]

heres my preworkout supp

1 cup spinach (for its NO increasing properties)
8oz beef (for its creatine and slow protein)
half apple (for quicker released energy)
oats (for slower released energy)
caffeine pills
vit c
fish oil

all taken 30 mins before gym

more bang for your buck. i promise

[bcaasdirty]

^^BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO^^

need more STIMS in there D

[spicyer]

Buy green tea extract, caffeine anhydrous and AAKG in bulk. Mix your own use 400mg gte, 250mg caffeine and 5 grams aakg, it won't taste like cake lol, but it will definetely get you going and you'll never beat the price.

did someone say CAKE? nom

[Tambit24]

Hey I just picked up some Grape Jack3d. Tastes pretty good. I did notice the upset stomach though. Was just curious, it says don't take more than 5 doses in a 7 day period. Jus wondering if anyone takes this 7 days a week and has had an issues with it.

You wouldnt want to take it 7 days straight, weeks in as your body will adjust to it and stop working as effectively

gotta say +1 on that...im picking up benadryl tomorrow to run @ night as a test to see if this will help upregulate my beta-2 receptors (had great success w/ running benadryl in conjunction w/ a continuous ECA stack in the past)...I know the caffeine in Jack3d hammers on those as well as adrenal glands, but I am curious if GeraniumOil functions via a similar pathway as I have noticed a pretty substantial 'drop' in overall effectiveness (effectiveness related to focus/energy)...Will post results in a weeks time to see how it worked!

[juicyjayjay]

i second this!

[Kaioken]

google Pump3d 160 count

its one of the most powerful

In caplet form and will last 4-5 weeks Full blast doses too

[Tigershark]

I am using NObomb right now, but I will be ordering me some Jack3d tonight after reading the reviews. Looks like a great product.

[Swole-Brah]

I've used N.O. Xplode before, its a great pre-workout supp. However, I think it prioritizes pump first then focus. Plus, I didn't like the fact that it would give too big of a pump, while working out my biceps felt like they were to explode, yet i wasn't able to get up to the usual reps I strive for because it was too pumped up. Plus, it would make me feel like I have to go to the bathroom 15 minutes later after taking it. Overall I would rate it 7.75/10. I hear great things about Jack3d though.

[codeegee]

man, if you can't get jack3d fruit punch down i doubt you're gonna get much else down... i've tried literally 10+ preworkouts on the market and jack3d is by far the best bang for your buck.

if you're going for preworkout + taste, give NO shotgun a try, it's probably the tastiest and you only ever need to use 1 scoop.

no xplode = junk, 3 scoops just to taste it... and they dont call it SUPERDUMP for no reason

[The_Irish_Dave]

I second No Shotgun. It definitely does something. I take it before my workout after a long days work and it picks me right up. You get really energetic and jumpy. You also get a great pump from it and you can see it in the mirror. I don't know if it's this stuff or my routine or what but since I've been taking it my lifts have gone up. No kiddin. Now it might be a coincidence I don't know but when I started taking this I was able to bench more for certain. I'm talking about an extra 2 reps or so. I'd only expect one more rep really normally with the weight I was lifting so I was surprised. Flavour wise it's not too bad. Just mix it with something else I think if it bothers you that much. It's not a big deal. Sure you just gulp it down in a few seconds.

[Flix]

I just buy the crystal light packets that have caffeine in them and drink that right before I go lift. Super cheap.

Muscle sport internationals revolution is the best I've tried so far.. Better than N.O. Crap and Jack3d!!
