Does anyone have a preworkout they would recommend? I have tried several and I'm still on the look out for the best one.

I never liked them. A lot have junk fillers and ineffective dosages. They are way too expensive for what's in them. I would just buy the ingredients you like and make your own for cheaper.0

Pre workout? You mean a few minute warm up on a treadmill?
Do you see a lion taking a preworkout before it strikes?0 -
I'm not a lion...iI'm overweight and trying. I have to squeeze in a workout after a 16hr workday and need a little pump up to get motivated to workout so I stay on track.0

^ yup, this is what i do. BCAA's, L-Arginine, caffine pill, B vitamins. All these at the dosage i want rather than the measly amounts in most pre-workouts supplements that are way overpriced.0 -

Ahhhhhh thank you for this... I just spent more than I would like to admit on a preworkout. I've been using it for a couple weeks and I feel like taking a caffeine pill would give me the same results. Will never waste money like this again.
OP, I've been weight training for about 6 months now so I thought a preworkout would help me lift heavier but I haven't noticed much of a difference... I'll continue to try it just because I did spend way too much on it so I won't let it go to waste but after it's don't I'm going to be taking what @betuel75 takes.0 -
If you're overweight, I would just grab a cup of coffee to get a little energized to get to the gym.0

I use Energy & Endurance ... Love it, I don't miss a workout without drinking that first.0

I like Cellucor C4 Extreme (or Fourth Generation, which is stronger). It doesn't give me tingles or make me feel like I want to pick up my house, but it gives me a helpful energy boost. I lift at 4:30 in the morning, so I'll take all the help I can get. I rarely drink coffee and definitely prefer the taste and convenience of C4.0

No. Not just a warm up on a treadmill. Sometimes after a long day of working with 2 year olds and two hours commuting on the subway, I feel like I could use a boost of energy before I throw 180 lbs on my back.
I've been having a strong coffee, but considering a pre-workout too.0 -
Hey there sometime vitamin shoppe has health fares and gives out samples so you can try many different ones. Also I liked jacked. I use one by muscletech tis ok but not like others I try before.
on a side note my hats off too you for working out after a 16 hour day thats truly inspiring!0 -

If you need more of an "energy" boost then Mr Hyde PWO has a lot of caffeine in it. Or just drink black coffee0

I use pre workouts about 3-4 times a week. Don't rely on them. They help me get a small bit of energy epically when trying to workout after a really long shift at work. I use c4 usually half a scoop does it for me, or xtc thermal by nutribolics.0

I'm currently using essential Aminos. Just started but so far so good. I chose it because I was looking for something without creatine. Started using it for morning workouts where I just don't have the energy at all.
Before my cardio I just do a sip of five hour energy lol.0 -
