Your caffeine endurance is amazing. You'd have to peel me off the ceiling, and I drink a Monster Ultra Zero every afternoon. Color me impressed.
I literally only drink it for the taste. I've noticed that if I drink that concoction for a night workout, it takes me a while to wind down and fall asleep. I don't see any effects (negative or otherwise) when I drink it in the morning. Go figure?
I add mine in the morning for the flavor as well0 -
I can't stand coffee so that is a non-starter for me and I tend to workout late in the evenings so I need a bit of a boost to keep me from wanting to go to sleep in the gym. I started on C4 which was like a beginner drink, tried the Muscle Pharm but didn't care for it, just no improvement over C4. I bought some GAT which had a decent taste and worked good. My new one is Mr. Hyde cotton candy which is great tasting, and I am still feeling it well after my workout, thus the midnight posting.
I like the tingle from the beta alanine and niacin because I know when it is in my system and where in my workout I should be for maximum energy.1 -

Walmart has an energy drink mix?! Why didn't anyone tell me! All the money spent mixing my own...0 -
Anyone do post workout drinks? I often feel like I could down an entire bottle of Pedialyte after.0

I don't really take a pre workout (mainly because I drink diet dew through the day), but I do have a protein shake and occasionally gummy bears.0

The self proclaimed, and widely recognized king of PWs is Mesomorph. It's not very well known though. If it was, it would probably be off the market. Just a disclosure, but today's pre- workout enthusiasts might be tomorrows heart patients.0

No way. Unless they are Starburst jelly beans or Jelly Bellys. And even then, Sour Patch Kids win.

I have 60 grams weighed out and bagged up for my workout this afternoon.

If you make me relapse you are paying for my detox.0 -

I can't have a wife and kids and spend money on pre workouts. Caffeine works for me and some good music. I have read that whey protein is necessary and creatine a second. No need to get fancy and pay a lot.0 -

Best of both worlds... jelly belly energy beans.
And swedish fish > sour patch.0 -

Ew. You're weird.
That reminds me. I have a box of energy beans in the back of the pantry. I used them when I was training for a half-marathon. They have a weird Gatorade-y taste, but I should probably use them up.0 -
I used to force it down but I really struggle with fake flavours... I can't stand fake synthetic fruit flavours (I can't drink lemsip for that very same reason). I used to have a blackcurrant flavoured one that I could just about keep down if I added lots of ice cubes to it so that it was freezing cold, but in the end it wasn't really worth it for me. The effect wasn't good enough for me to keep using it. I would feel so nauseous from the taste that it would put me off going to the gym more than anything haha!0

I'm one of those people that the supplement companies love as I've pretty much always taken some kind of supplements. I really like Hemavol and mix that with Creatine and Beta Alanine. I can't take any of the good stuff with Caffeine Anhydrous-that stuff just doesn't agree with me.Anyone do post workout drinks? I often feel like I could down an entire bottle of Pedialyte after.
Chocolate Milk.

I don't think it's a "Walmart" brand, but I've used one - MuscleTech, maybe? It's ok. My squat and deadlift training has sucked since I ran out, although my bench has seemed fine. I figured I didn't need it, because I didn't think it was doing anything, so I didn't buy more when I ran out. I'm considering getting back on it and seeing how things go.0 -
Thanks for all the feedback. I see there are those that hate, love, or are indifferent on pre workouts - I will be trying several recommended products & might even try the coffee protein smoothie... Even though I can't stand coffee.0
