    I'm in the USA. I only do resistance training so cant speak to cardio. I currently use SciVation Xtend BCAA's. They give me an energy boost in the gym. It mixes easily and tastes pretty good actually.

    I used to use L-Argenine 3,000 mg thee times per day for a total of 9,000 mg per day. I had better workouts and felt more pumped all the time, but had to stop using them because they trigger cold sores if you are already prone to them. I tried a few different brands and always came back to a brand called SOLGAR. I'd still be using this if I could.

    Bodybuilding.com is where I have ordered from. Currently EVL pre work out grape flavor is my favorite. I've used C4 as well its not bad either and has many flavors.

    Pre Jym or Pre Kaged have ingredient profiles that are clinically dosed and actually increase your performance. You pay for it though, @ $36 for 20 servings or $48 for 30. Both are exclusive to bodybuilding.com; another option is OutLift by Nutrex which also has a decent ingredient profile.

    I don't like pre-workouts personally. I like Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy. Two scoops has 160mg of natural caffeine and 5 grams of amino acids. I drink mine during my workout, but you can drink it pre-workout.

    I second this! The watermelon flavor is the best.

    Not necessary, but fun. I waited until I absolutely needed one to get into the gym to take it..like falling asleep on the hour long subway ride home after an 11 hour work day. Now I always kind of want it so I'd say I'm a little addicted.
