    Musclepharm Assualt and NO Explode. Go back and forth between them depending on what is on sale. They both work well.

    NOS Cardio Cuts from GNC. It's awesome because it doesn't have creatine in it so I avoid the water retention and the bulky "pump" after my workouts. It's like crack in a bottle...I feel like I can run for days and swim across oceans when I drink it lol :)

    I have been looking for a pre workout without creatine because I get the same effect as you. Thanks :wink:

    I used MusclePharm Assualt, great result but alot of creatine.

    Currently using Cellucor C4. This does have less creatine.

    After drinking 1MR I felt like skipping the gym and just lifting cars in the parking lot, but it has(at least to me) a wicked crash. Now I use Bullnox

    It's got quite a bit of caffeine I believe.
    I hated Bullnox when I tried it.


    My favorites have been BSN HyperFx and Promera Health Beta-Cret

    I take a scoop of AminoX (get it at GNC) and drink a little before my work out and a little during. I'm like the guy ^^ that wants to lift cars in the parking lot. It gives a DEFINITE power boost. I burned 1006 calories yesterday working out for 2.5 hours on it. I also take a fat burner (Roxy Lean), so the combination of the two makes me out of my mind, in a good way of course. :)

    A cup of coffee will get me through my workout. On the fence about trying out NO Explode. Read and heard good things about it.

    pre-workout: water
    POST-workout: chocolate milk(1%) or chocolate protein shake made with 1% milk

    Coffee makes an excellent pre-workout drink though. Like 15 minutes before I start working out

    I alternate between superpump max and neurocore. Sometimes half a scoop of each mixed.

    Black coffee. :wink: I am highly strung enough without adding crack in a bottle. Those drinks could ruin my marriage. :laugh:

    A friend gave me 1MR. I can only take 1/2 scoop, and it tastes like crap, but DANG does it make me feel awesome :D

    How is it to drink coffee before yur workout? I alreay think my heart is going to explode when I work out ( I am currently doing Insanity), so the idea of coffee before kind of freaks me out. Does it really help? Is it safe?
