    There are soooo many i have had over the years. I like Optimums Gold Standard pre. I use to love Gaspari Superpump but they changed the flavor a long time ago.

    Thinking of picking that C4 up. How was the caffeine?

    I'm asking out of curiosity here, not to make fun...

    Is the powder supposed to help you get bigger muscles or lose weight?

    PWO is meant to give you a bit of an energy boost before your workout.

    Some contain creatine monohydrate/nitrate

    I've never taken a pre-workout. Is it just for lifting? Or do you take it for workouts including cardio?

    Some of the less powerful ones are good for cardio, but the more powerful ones can actually make your heart beat faster so they're not advised for cardio.

    I think quite a few people use C4 for cardio, but only 1 scoop.

    1st, you DO NOT need a pre-workout.

    If your diet & nutrition is on point somewhat, that should be more than sufficient to fuel your workout.

    Having said that, I believe a lot of the ... *kitten* .... you buy at GNC is trash, it's loaded with fillers, C4 for example, is loaded with garbage.

    Personally, I use: http://www.citadelnutrition.com/store/supplements/tier-1-plus

    No jitteryness, all science based and proven ingredients with true backing references on their website.

    Pro labs 200mg caffein pill. All I ever need and save a lot of cash. I tried plenty of preworkouts, and they are mostly all just filled with cheap ingredients at clinically ineffective dosages, make crazy marketing claims, cost $5.00 to manufacture and charge you $30.00-60.00...

    I just got NXT Level from musclebox and have to say 1 scoop and sipping on a Monster absolute zero had been making a difference. And no I don't see sounds

    c4 if defineatly a personal favorite. so is Mr. Hyde or Dr. Jekyll.

    hyde is more of the hott tingles like C4, and jekyll does't have the tingles but give you a really goo energy boost.

    If you decide on C4, you may want to start out with half of what it tells you on the label. I must be very sensitive to this product because my heart was racing and I hadn't even started working out yet. Just test it out slowly.

    C4 is quite a weak PWO, you must have a low caffeine tolerance ;p
