Can anyone give me a good pre-work out drink..(preferably that comes in powder) for mainly cardio? I need energy before i go to the gym but i need it to last through my cardio. I tried Cardio igniter but i cant stand the taste and i just got the C4 Extreme but i dont like how it makes my whole body itchy and on the 3rd day of trying it today i felt really tired about 30 min in.

    I was going to say C4, I like the itchies.

    I tried Pump Fuel which did not give the itchies and the guys at my GNC suggested Siege as a product that did not give them.

    Go to GNC and ask for some samples, tell them you don't like the itchies.

    Hi, I maintain a list of over 200 pre-workout boosters on my blog. It might help you find something new. I've tried C4 before, but my current favorite is N.O.-Xplode

    The tingling sensation is due to the Beta-Alanine in these products. It's pretty common in pre-workout boosters. I've read that the sensation gets less intense in time.

    Not to sound completely out of the loop but what are the "itches"?

    The Beta Alanine in the product can give your body a tingly/itchy sensation when it kicks in. I like it. But it creeps some people out.
