I was taking C4 Ripped, but I wanted to try something new. I tried Hyde over the weekend & OMG it literally felt like it was burning a whole through my stomach. I had to lay down until the feeling passed. It wasn't on an empty stomach either. But I am up for some new suggestions.

    I don't understand why you would want or need anything else.

    Well I guess that's why we all do what works for us personally.

    I like MusclePharm Assault. Pretty good balance, doesn't provide as big of a pump as others I've tried, though gives a nice even bump in energy that doesn't make you feel jittery.

    Amino Energy is great , there is only a small portion of caffeine but plenty of L-arginine and Beta-Alanine to push you through the wall..

    If it's working for you, why are you looking to change? I'd like to understand why/how it works.

    Right now for my 3 heavy weight training workouts/wk I'm using VaporX5™ Next Gen by Muscle Tech. Nothing pre workout for cardio, other than maybe a banana about 30 minutes beforehand.

    Figure out why you think you need a supplement. Is your diet and sleep on track?

    What exactly are you looking to get out of your pre workout. Stim or non stim? And what supplements and in what dosages are you wanting? It'll help narrow the list.

    I don't begrudge anyone for taking a PWO, but I tend think they work more by placebo than anything else. Foam rolling is more likely placebo, but I find it helps me to warmup and get into my workout.

    I love my pre, but I Don't disagree with you. Its part of the prep for the training session.

    I'm obsessed with idealfit preworkout. No calories, carbs, or sugar, has b vitamins, natural caffeine, and some aminos. They also have a caffeine free preworkout
