Rub some dirt in it and be a real man.
Cut off my response
I've been training on and off for about 20 years and always used them. I haven't in the past 6 years or so & there's a lot of new stuff out now. I mainly used them for focus but since they took ephedrine out of everything nothing works as well.
I saw some of the lifts you posted in another thread - respect.
Thank you and thanks for the extra background info. Hope you find someone that works for you. I've tried PWO but found coffee to be just all need since The majority of my training was at 4am.1 -
@bbell1985Coffee ain't doing *kitten* for me. By the time I'm getting to the gym I've already drank a dang pot and worked a 10-12 hour day.
Shatter works alright for me. C4 does the trick for awhile, then I have to switch.
Have you tried eating a banana with drinking coffee? 0 -
I use essential amino energy 3 scoops before working out. Keeps it simple no crashing afterwards.1

C4 ultimate.0

I very rarely use one, because I workout in the evening and have to sleep. But when I do, ENGN EVL is my favorite.0

Trying this tomorrow! I don't know how it never occurred to me!!! YUM!0 -
I drink PWO for the flavor. If I take two scoops, my face gets tingly so I guess it does SOMETHING.. Anyways, I drink Ghost Warhead PWO in 2-3 oz of Monster Zero Ultra. I love sour candy so it's a pretty nice treat.2

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. 0 -

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?1 -

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.
