Does anyone use any other supplement that helps with energy? Thanks! Greg

    Sleep.

    Apart from that a balance diet.

    Question why it is that you are low on energy, how much do you sleep, how much do you work and/or go to school, how much do you drink and/or do drugs? How consistent are you with your diet? Is your deficit too large?

    So far as supplement goes, there is a reason why caffeine is an ingredient in basically all pre-workouts.
    If that isn't cutting it for you anymore it might be because you've abused it or other stimulants and in that case you'd actually need to wean yourself off of stims, cut them out, wait a month and use them again.

    Yeah I love a pre-workout. Anything is fine. Except BPI because it does nothing and ESP because it's too strong. I usually use C4 or Muscletech.

    I have a problem with caffeine and would drink 2-3 monsters a day and have switched over to amino energy that has 100mg of caffeine per scoop at a reasonable price. Might want to give that a look.

    Thanks everyone; I'm thinking I need to cut out the stims for a while and increase my eating. I'm hungry a lot, and now I'm thinking that might be part of the problem.

    On occasion, I might have a banana (or some other carb) before my workout. But usually just coffee and creatine.
