Can anyone recommend a good pre-workout drink supplement? I've tried a couple but I'm looking for a pre-workout that won't give me that jittery feeling afterwards. Any suggestions?

    Most pre-workouts are loaded with about 400 mg of caffeine among other non-caffeine stimulants, so more or less you are going to run into that problem with any of them.

    Hemavol (powder not caps) is a stimulant free pre-workout that always gave me good tunnel-vision focus without jacking my heart rate up.

    The industry is now flooded with theses "pre-workout" things, I don't quite get it. Just make sure you're well feed before your workout, 1h30-2h before, and well hydrated!!! If you feel like a pick me up, I would recommend coffee or green tea.

    I use Pre Jym from Bodybuilding.com. First off, just works well. But more importantly (for me), there's no fluff. Only 13 ingredients, and everyone one of them are justified and beneficial. No proprietary blends.. just straight forward business. I highly recommend checking it out.

    You don't "Need" a pre-workout, but when I want a nice blast of energy for the gym I take C4 Extreme, and when I want a good pump I go with Pump-HD.

    Oh, and Alphamine has only 125 mg of caffeine. Cleanest energy you'll feel, and it is a powerful thermogenic too.

    these guys.

    The 'I didn't take my pre-workout' lag apparently is awful.

    no thanks.

    I have coffee all morning- rarely before I work out- I brute force my way through a workout- i don't need outside help trying to get my workouts on.

    I have used a product called full blown not bad. However sometimes based on body weight if you adjust serving size may help with jitters. It is not a precise science on serving sizes body weight and tolerance plays in as well hope this helps

    If I don't grab one of my homemade protein granola bars before I leave the house then I don't have anything. Except maybe coffee.

    Coffee or caffeine pills are the cheapest. Add 2-5 milligrams of Yohimbine and you'll really feel jacked up. lol

    Best one I tried thus far besides the now defunct Jacked 3D is C4, even though the beta alanine in C4 may make you feel like you rolled around in Pink Panther insulation. Tried Assault, Craze, N.O. Xplode as well.

    :indifferent: Sweet post, brah. She didn't ask if you needed outside help or IF she should take. She asked for good recommendations on pre-workouts.
