For those of you who are into preworkout.....

What is your favorite brand/flavor?

I currently have C4 pink lemonade and watermelon.

Looking at a Muscle Pharm right now... has anyone tried this before?

    C4 is my standby, it's fine but it's mild. My favorite is Muscletech Shatter, it's stronger than C4-though you have to take it more like 30 min before your workout.

    While I'm here I'll just say the weakest and my least favorite has been the BPI, and the strongest and my least favorite is the ESP-that stuff is nuts. Nono.

    Sorry I haven't tried the Muscle Pharm

    i didn't like C4 to much. I love 1.M.R in any flavor, it really kicks your butt into high gear. Or jack3D, and even arnold pump is good. Im cheap though so I usually by razor8 cause we get a good deal on it from our health food store and it lasts my husband and I like almost 2 months

    ENGN EVL in blue raspberry. Tastes great, mild tingles, good energy. I can't take it in the evening though, or I won't be able to sleep.

    Everyone responds differently to the stims, so recommendations are going to be mostly useless. Try different ones and see what you like.

    But to your question...

    C4 did nothing for me.
    ON Gold Standard Pre I like.
    BSN Hyper I like.
    5hr Energy extra strength I like (FWIW).

    I've tried alot and I think C4 is the best. None of the others give me the same sort of jolt. Right now I have Nano Vaper and it's meh. Can't wait to be done with it so I can go back to C4.

    Ones that I've tried recently:

    C4: Love it
    Muscletech Nano Vaper Hardcore Blue Raspberry: Meh and tastes pretty bad
    Muscle Pharm Assault Cherry limeade: Tastes awesome, felt nothing
    Amino Energy Grape and Orange: Both delicious but more of a post workout drink for me
    Beachbody E&E: Tastes awful, pretty good pump and energy though. Way to expensive

    ON Gold Standard Pre -- It's the Gold Standard for a reason. Pineapple flavor is just unreasonably good.

    Best taken by snorting it off safety bars on squat racks.

    Mr Hyde is the best. Awesome taste and gives a great focused workout.

    I tried Mr Hyde for the first time last night and had a great workout. I felt like I could see forever, but the workout was awesome.

    I'm all for pre workout, have taken PLENTY, still do but if anyone has a hard time losing lower belly fat you should read labels and stay away from sycralose which is in most pre workouts

    Can always make your own pre :)

    Caffeine
    Creatine
    Beta alanine
    Citru Malate
    Betanine
    L arginine
    Glutamine
    Carnitine
    Potassium - optional
