Pre-Workout

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good pre-workout. I use coffee right now because I've taken some pre-workout samples that gave me acid reflux. I think it was called C4 something. Anyway, I'm scared to try something else since I have a weak stomach, but I'm tired of drinking coffee as a pre-workout. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

    coffee is a great pre-work out. or Caffinee pills. Lots of PWO's are money dumps. Save yourself the money.

    I usually do a few almonds about an hour prior to work out. Also, I drink lots of water.

    I use 1.M.R. before my weekend long runs. I know a number of people who swear by Cellucor's C4. If you don't mind 100 pre-workout calories, you can always go Gu or something similar to that.

    C4 will give you the itches!

    I wanted to feel like Vin Diesel and I felt like a meth head. That was my experience anyway.

    THIS.... low GI CARBS for longer absorption, say A PASTA MEAL or brown rice/meat dish, any meal really to keep your energy up in the weight room.

    Normally for me its coffee n a protein shake. My alternative is V8 flavor fusion drinks. I get my vitamins plus the caffeine boost and that is helpful as well.

    I've been using the Neon Volt preworkout. Sometimes a cup of coffee isn't enough for a 5am work out.
