Pre-workout

I bought a new pre-workout at Walmart.
It is called Explode Ripped. The stuff is strong but I think it does what it claims that it would do. Has anyone else ever tried this?

Ah, ok. That's a reasonable expectation.
I've tried others - found them a bit strong for a workout in the evening. I had a hard time sleeping. I just use very strong coffee now and some creatine.0 -

Its basically just caffeine. It lacks adequate amounts of L-Citrulline and Beta Alanine. Its a fairly poor pre-workout unless you just want a high dose of caffeine.1

I kind of do this. I use Kaged Muscle In-Kaged (intraworkout), add additional l-citrulline (so it's at the high end of the effective dosage) and creatine monohydrate (not important for timing but it's just a good time to time it). Kaged Muscle does make an effective pre-workout, but the In kaged is like half the price and I get the bulk supplements for dirt cheap.
ETA: I should note, if people find it valuable/beneficial to consume pre-workouts (even if it's placebo), I would recommend a quality one. The effective dosed once I have seen and/or tried:
Pre-Kaged by Kaged Muscle
Cutler Nutrition Amplify (non stim) or Prevail (stim) <-- one of the best tasting
Alpha Lion
Legion Pulse
Essentially, it should contain 150 - 400 caffeine
5 - 8g of Citrulline Malate or 3 - 5g of L-Citrulline
1.6 - 3.2g of Beta Alanine3
