Wow...I am glad to hear that even GUYS are sensitive to some of these products! I am always told it's because "I'm a girl." Or because I'm so petite, my body can't handle it. That's BULL****. I know a few girls in my gym that can take NO Explode, Redline, Endorush etc...and never have problems.
For me, even if I take 1/2 of a scoop, I feel like I will have a heart attack at any moment. One product even had me call an abulance on myself! Can you imagine?
Seriously,some folks JUST CAN NOT take those kind of stimulants. I am one of them. I wonder sometimes when we will hear of someone dying from one of these, as the ingredients are not regulated. Scary.
And "SuperDump250???" I think when you take a product that puts you on the can within the hour, your body must be trying to tell you something!!!
The ONLY product I have been able to use that gave me good focus and energy in the gym without feeling totally TWEAKED OUT was **** Primed and Beverly International MuscleLean ( 1/2 dose). I dont know why.....but some of these products are stronger than street drugs IMO!

I took a supplement that was similar to NO Explode and it was called Energized Xpand. Apparently, it is very like SuperDump because within 25 minutes i was in the bathroom and even after i decreased the dosage, i still had the shakes. I didn't have a problem with NO Explode, which is kind of odd because i took 3 to 4 times the amount that i took of Xpand. I thank everyone for their input so far and continued comments/suggestions are welcomed.

I have been on this for 3 years and I feel better, sleep better, I have lost weight and put on more lean body mass, and I have much more energy in the day and for my workouts. This stuff is awesome. I take this, TestoRx, Multi-Flex for my joints, fish oil, and a good multi from Solaray.

I'm taking SuperPump 250.


It's terrible :....(

I don't think when I eat the food will be in my system long enough for nutriants to be absorbed. Who the hell invented this cr@p, pun intended. The only reason I still use it is cause I need something to get me going and I'm a poor college student and can't afford to just throw it out and get something else.

:....(

Don't use it. And haahah to the SuperDump 250 comment.

Now personally for me, I've tried various supplements and unlike the States where supplements are highly advertised and knowledge dispersed in India we mostly try and experience each product.
As far as pure energy is concerned, one that is not related to any other thing I would suggest 'Endorush' It works great. one serving before workout and u'll be blazing all rockets for the next 2 hours on ur workout. Whats better is the increased mental focus, the vascular muscle increase, the thermogenics and of course- loads and load of energy.
NO xplod also works good, but is not a pure energy product like Endorush.

Wrong, Spike Shooter blows anything else out of the water. 300mg of caffeine plus its loaded with yohimbe and a ridiculous amount of b vitamins.


All that said, I did drink a 22oz NOS and a Xyience before a race about a month ago.... I was literally standing at the starting line trembling. It was great.

I've been using MRI's Black Powder for two weeks now. My workouts are very very intense....its wild. I hate fruity stuff, so I hold my nose drinking it down but its worth it. You have to force yourself to stop. I spent over 2 hours working upper body one day and didn't even notice the time pass by. It's important to take it on an empty stomach though because otherwise you will not feel it.

Spike shooter is my favorite. Expensive, though, so I don't buy it anymore. I use to order it by the case, though... First time I used it... I was standing at the cable crossover machine after my first set, sweat just pouring out of me. It was nuts. I love that, though.

This is by far the best overall energy and recovery supplement I have found. I've been training and using supplements foe 30 years. All organic, no added sugars, no side effects. no crash. Better focus, less soreness, *Remarkable natural anti-inflamatory, better sleep, etc... It's the best stuff on the planet. check it at myvemma.com/davidscott if you want more info, my email is there.

HOT-ROX is a great energy suplemment I've used it in several times for weight loss and definition, and compared to other brands is with far a great product. However, CLEN-XTREME is probably one of the most powerfull energy and recovery suplemments 'cause it's made with real Clenbuterol. Sadly due to its formula it's not widely known.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

SuperFly Energy Caps
Iron-Tek 2 Methyl 13-C

Take either one of these and you'll feel like you can lift anything. Though, 13-C is stronger.

Redbull. Not so much for bodybuilding, but if im out with the boys, i can take back 6 redbulls, and be better off for that morning then if i was using the booze, and without booze I can actually work out the next day.

If you're gonna have a vice, at least one that does less damage

XS Engery Drinks for the win! I grab mine from www.jdhaliwal1.qhealthzone.com I switched to XS and if you want to know why check the chart in the next link http://www.bevnet.com/images/branddocs/2003617942370.xs-back.jpg

Best quick pick-me-up Fuser Diesel Energy Stix

Just like candy five minutes before a run, I tear open the pack then let the pixie stix like powder dissolve on my tongue and then go to work. These aren't pills or liquid and no need for water. If you need a quick pick me up / extra boost of energy no matter what situation.

Simply composed of Creatine, Tourine, RNA and Caffeine unlike NO after five minutes gives me that boost of energy for a work out at the same time increased muscle twitch speed, intense focus and no tolerance buildup.

Examples of which are AST-SS Dymetadrine Xtreme (the one with ephedra), Xenadrine (ephedra version), Ripped Fuel (with ephedra), Dymaburn Xtreme (with ephedra), then when ephedra was banned, I tried Ergopharm Amp, Hydroxycut Hardcore, then Leviathan. All these were tried/used over years.

I mean, I never really got the intense energy kick that most are reporting. LOL, am I just that insensitive, or are there people like me?

I've tried several hydroxycut products, lipo-6, no-xplode, 17-HD and several others. They're all full of caffeine which wears off quickly and my body develops a tolerance to them. Not to mention that the caffeine is addictive. I got to where I was taking 3-4 scoops of no-xplode and felt nothin at all. I think everyones body reacts differently to different supps. I have to say though the lipo-6 does help to get cut much better than any of the hydroxycut did. For me anyway.

All Energy products use the same chemical formula :-

EP = TCBP x 1000000

(Abbreviations : EP - Energy Products
TCBP - Totally Crap Bogus Product)

Most that give you a 'boost' do so temporarily , after it wears off you feel WORSE than before you took it. Use your mind if you are motivated and diet is okay, you have zero need for cuch CRAP!

I see far too many kids using these at the gym,and they are all speedy rushing around,they look like crack heads,skinny as hell...while we big guys:) lumber along,taking things nice and easy:)..These "crack in a can" garbage drinks are not all that good for you just like crack!

Superpump 250
No Xplode
Dymatize - liquid Amp'd
Muscletech - Nano Vapor
Universal - Animal Pump
Universal - Shock Therapy
White Flood
None of them did sh*t for me except the superpump - and that gave me diareah.I think half the reviews you read around hear are crap put out by companies to make it sound good, i havent met anybody in the real world who reacts the way some of these revewers say.So i dont think your alone....

Don't waste your money. I drank 2 back to back and felt absolutely nothing. Almost any supplement that can be found at wally world, Wal-green's, a gas station, e.t.c. is utter garbage. Since you're 15 you could get away with using plain caffeine for a while but, I would recommend something like a gram of tyrosine or 500mg. of choline 3x a day. Good luck with your quest for energy.

I have gone through 2 containers of Superpump 250 and on my second container i have started stacking Superpump 250 with SizeON. I have noticed a big change with my workout intensity and pump it gave me in the gym with the superpump. I was almost convinced that this was the stack that I would stick with for a while, but when i finished my last container of Superpump 250 I decided to try the NO Shotgun because the owner of my local supplement store recomended it to me. On My very first workout with NO Shotgun, I showed a dramatic inprovement with my pumps, energy and focus all around in the gym. I am able to do more weight/reps/sets all across the board. I have the energy to rest less between sets and my intensity is much higher. This stuff is amazing! I am a believer in this product!

I mix two scoops Purple Wrath in half a gallon of water. Sip on that from 9am till 5-6pm when I finish it and head to the gym. After my 20 minute warm up walk, I mix 1scp White Flood with half a scoop of Waxy Maize and 12oz of water. I drink 6oz as soon as im done with my walk, and sip on the other 6oz and finish before the second half of my work out. Good solid energy, and motivation.

If I take both as Pre-Wo, I get a nasty head rush and my bp shoots up.. :\

I liked the Redline drink. It's like $3.50 though. :(

Hydroxcut and Hydroxycut Hardcore never did anything for me really.

I started tweakin' on Atro-Phex, but I think I took too many without being tolerant.

5-Hour energy worked for the workout, but I started dragging later that day. :mad: "NO CRASH" was a Bs statement for me.

So I'd go with the Redline drink. :)

Examples of which are AST-SS Dymetadrine Xtreme (the one with ephedra), Xenadrine (ephedra version), Ripped Fuel (with ephedra), Dymaburn Xtreme (with ephedra), then when ephedra was banned, I tried Ergopharm Amp, Hydroxycut Hardcore, then Leviathan. All these were tried/used over years.

I mean, I never really got the intense energy kick that most are reporting. LOL, am I just that insensitive, or are there people like me?


I use to get the kick but now a days i can down 2 or 3 bottles of exteme redlines and not feel a thing, Any products i should waste my time on? I was thinking either no-xplode or super pump?

might try this... but with 2/3 scoops.... prolly not mix either... just one after another.

I mixed NO with Shockwave energy drinks.. it burnt me out fast, they have a good money making product there... burns out your receptors so fast a tub last 1/4th of the time advertised, it works, so people keep buying it.

I switched to Superpump 250, only on day 4 so I can't make a call, but I like it so far.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Iron-Tek 2 Methyl 13-C(powder) or SuperFly Energy Caps(sold at GNC). Though, Iron-Tek is stronger.

This stuff is way beyond just caffeine and creatine! While there's definitely caffeine in Superpump, the N acetyl Cysteine, Tyrosine, N acetyl tyrosine, Glucuronolactone improve focus and mental acuity twofold! The US Army did several studies on tyrosine itself, showing improvements in energy and acuity.

The stuff is also packed with branched chain aminos to help spare muscle, creatine and phosphorus to create phosphocreatine, AAKG to aid in elevated plasma arginine levels (arginine is needed to make NO), Bioperine (TM) and alpha lipoic acid to help aid the absorption of the creatine, and glutamine for muscle cell volumization AND nitrogen retention.

It seems that Gaspari reformulated the stuff a bit, by cutting out some of the magnesium. While the magnesium works as a synergist, it was also giving people the squirts something terrible.

I've tried everything else and nothing compares to Superpump!

Cocaine "cut" gave me the most energy I've ever had without a crash, however I think it's 280mg of caffeine.

Yerba Mate was insane energy but I felt my heart didn't like Yerba Mate tea. It makes you kinda hot all over too for some reason. It did me.

RPM seems to work.....not sure how much caffeine is in 1 pill though but I only need 1.

Shock Therapy burnt me out after I was done working out. It has been great in the past but last night I did a major bicept workout to fatigue and I did some wierd treadmill exercise that was really tough.

I did a lvl 5 hill variation so it was going just fast enough to make me walk really fast but I couldn't really run, it was torture and it was at 80% incline. I was torture on my hamstrings. I think that's what wore me out. I only lasted 5 minutes doing that crazy routine. It was the NOT being able to run that made it soooo hard on me.

I like to take a pre workout no2 and creatine combination before i workout to give me that extra boost in the gym but they always give me a headache after my workout. Ive been using noxlopde for a while and have been getting good pumps in the gym but the comedown i get from that stuff makes it not even worth taking. I switched to this preworkout creatine, no2 powder called Torque from the brand Body Fuel and i havent noticed the post workout crash like I used to get from the noxplode. Its got a similar blend that the noxplode has so im really happy with that.

Base Exchange Generic Caffeine pills

1. Dirt cheap cause I am supporting 4 humans of my meager military income.
2. They work. I have been using caffeine for over 10 years for cardio and weights and nothing gets me going like 400mg of caffeine. I used to do ECA stack back in the day till they band ephedra. Then I stopped taking aspirin cause it hurt my stomach....bad
3. Oh yeah....I'm cheap.

Don't waste your money. I drank 2 back to back and felt absolutely nothing. Almost any supplement that can be found at wally world, Wal-green's, a gas station, e.t.c. is utter garbage. Since you're 15 you could get away with using plain caffeine for a while but, I would recommend something like a gram of tyrosine or 500mg. of choline 3x a day. Good luck with your quest for energy.
I take a 5 hour energy at work sometimes and it works well for me. Not a crazy, jittery feeling but more of a mental lift. Puts me in a better mood and I have better focus. I've never used it before a workout, just once in a while at work if I'm draggin. Not everything works for everyone. Ya mean?

axlst2
04-30-2008, 10:29 AM
I haven't used it in awhile - but when i did I had better pump and more energy compared to when i used NO2, caffeine alone, hydroxycut, stacker-2. It's relatively inexpensive, won't give you the shakes, and is pretty safe.

For $12.99 ********'s Caffeine anhydrous (http://www.*************/p1201_Caffeine_Anhydrous_********.html)
Is BY FAR-HANDS DOWN-SECOND TO NONE Energy Product on the market. It is the Basis for ALL Energy Products out there. The recommended serving size is 1/4 tsp. (2000, yes that's two-THOUSAND), servings a bucket for crying out loud!)

It looks like Speed and if you've ever done it before it has an eerily similar taste. This **** will have you spun all day so I strongly suggest taking only 1/8 tsp. at first because you will be spun all day.

AMP2 by a mile! I mean you can run an extra mile before exhaustion on this stuff at 3 caps.


I agree with the above. AMP2 didn't give me an "energized feeling" but I took two and crushed 40 seconds off my 15K personal best on the Charles River. I run between 30K-40K a week on average and I really dig this stuff. Hope I dont build up a tolerance.

Weird thing was while running I felt like I was watching a marathon on TV. It was like I wasn't doing the running and just watching someone else.

So maybe not the best "energy" supplement but for cardio/endurance I haven't had a better run since I played around with ractopamine hcl than this stuff. I guess I will try it while doing weights but this makes cardio kind of painless.

05-19-2008, 06:26 AM
I have tried them all including back when the old ECA stack was king. VPX REDLINE is the most potent stuff I have ever taken. I didn't notice a falloff either. Had a rediculous amount of energy throughout the day. There is a little nervousness and after a few days I had to take a break from it. It's definately the best product out there.

Another strong one is Energized Xpand. I took 1 scoop and crashed so hard from it I had to call in for work and I slept all day. I went to the gym on it and worked out for 4 hours, lifted 20% more weight it was like a whole weeks worth of lifting in one session. I grew bigger the next week after taking 3 days off. II think it's what the pros are using now.

I like synephrine a lot (Twinlab's Ripped Fuel) but honestly the main ingredient in most of these things is caffiene anyway...

I just miss the old days when Theremadrene was still around, that was coffee's big bad brother from the wrong part of town.

(Note: This is not a discussion about how or when to take energy products, if you should take energy products, or why some energy products are NOT good. Just list your absolute favorite energy product and give your detailed reason.)

If I had to choose ANYTHING, I'd take GINSENG (just good plain old natural ginseng) straight from those small vials. Works like a charm, little alcohol if any (can get different versions), pocket size, no crash, healthy, and no sugars.

Universal Shock Therapy is a great energy supplement in my opinion. Not only does it have caffeine, but it also contains a handful of other ingredients that give me a energized feel in the gym. I've tried Lipo 6 before (which made me feel like ****) and ripped fuel xtreme and Shock Therapy is by far the best energy supplement that I have used. Plus, this energy supplement also has NO boosters and other goodies included :D

One day I was feeling really, really tired. I had a jar full of RPMs and 5 pills just wasn't cutting it. I opened 2 up and mixed it in Powerade Zero...Taste like burning...Uuuggghhh. Within a few minutes I had the most energy I have ever had in my life (I've been prescribed the strong stuff before). My euphoria was at it's absolute peak, I was making jokes left and right, it was almost like I was in a dream world where everything was possible. My workout lasted for one glorious hour of pure ecstasy; My body felt like it was set ablaze, it felt like I had a never-ending supply of energy, and I couldn't stop smiling.

After my workout I crashed...Literally. For quite a few days my body couldn't find the power to do much of anything. The next weekend I tried the same nasty potion and nothing happened. Oh, well.:(

That's twice the red pill "energy" goodness and holy **** the first week i did that i wanted to literally headbutt my head on the ground to get rid of all the energy i had.

Now i notice a little tolerance, but it still gives me a steady stream of energy my whole workout instead of just the beginning like other products would give me.

Good multivitamin (Vita-man 75 from vitamin world)

BOOOM! I'm in a great mood and ready to thrash the plates!
I've wanted (but havent) to try this with...say...300..400mg Sulbutiamine!
I'll often add 500-1000mg L-tyrosine but I'm not sure if this really does anything.

I just use 4 caps of Ergopharm AMP, never thought of stacking it with ephedrine.

Believe it or not my husband and I just use your basic caffeine pill from Kroger. Like stay awake or Vivarin. Lol its like 8 bucks better than anything out there pretty much. Now I will say and this is real talk I swear, I used Stizm by thermolife and I liked it a lot. Because its just two pills and gets the job done. I used Hydroxycut, xenadrine etc... I don't like any one them, they just make me feel sick and they make you take to many pills and they are over priced. So less is more for me. Just stick the basics. I think your body in all reality can only handle so many chemicals and supps at a time any way.

Well I think Ginseng is the safest bet for maximum energy. I used it. With just a single dose of 1000 mg Ginseng, it kept me moving throught the day. Plus it also enhances your brain function.

NOW Ginseng or Higher Power Ginseng are best ones here.

Dont Rely too much on caffeine, it can be counter-productive.

I need energy. I am always tired and I feel like my head is moving twice as slower than every other part of my body. I don't want caffeine or something that will only last for a very short period of time and won't cause me to crash and burn when the affects wear off. I just need energy to last me throughout the whole day.

Would ginseng be an optimal solution to my problem?

What would you do with the added energy? There's non-stimulant energy boosters (which can be taken whenever) and then there's stimulants (great for getting past plateaus).

Weak non-stimulant supps: ginseng, most things found in grocery store vitamin waters, e.t.c.

Strong non-stimulant supps: >1gr.tyrosine, L-dopa, huperzine-A, 500mg. choline 3x a day, e.t.c.

Weak stimulants: <100mg.caffeine, synephrine, <5mg.yohimbe, most (if not all) things contained in grocery store energy drinks, e.t.c.

Strong stimulants: >500mg. caffeine, lots of yohimbe (if you take too much you"ll be sick), chocamine, harder to find energy drinks (Spike), e.t.c.

Not just for working out. Mainly to just feel more awake and energized throughout the day because I always feel so tired, even if I'm doing physical work such as weight lifting, playing football, etc.

You can give Ginseng a try, for it comes with minimal or no side effect at all. Start with a dosage of 500 mg, and then gradually increase to 1000 mg a day. Along with it drink in a lots of water and consume a good nutritious diet. You can get your energy back.
Bodybuilding.com has two good varities of Ginseng from NOW and Higher Power. You can try them.

1/2 tablespoon of pure coconut oil approx 1 hour before work out.
I am small and female so I assume guys would need double or more depending on size and so on.

The liver converts it to energy - it's not storage type fat.
You can feel it burn twice as hard as a glucose drink.
It improves respiration at celular level and makes you breath more deeply.
It also goes on for hours and you don't have a come down.

People eat it to increase their metabolism and lose fat.
It increases production and optimisation of thyroid hormones.
Can cause slight hyperthyroid state when you first use it if you take too much..

Fantastic for people who can't stand cardio - keeps your energy levels up for hours.

If you burn it up quickly, you can always eat some more and it tastes nice too.

The compounds in this drink actually prevent the nervous system stimulation I tend to get from doses of 60mg of caffeine, aka coffee.

Yea, I tried the White Flood in a sample as well.

Out of all the CL products, my favorites are probably Purple Wraath and Green Magnitude. Tried White Blood.... didn't really affect me much differently than standard AKG which is much cheaper.

MY Fav NO2 so far is probably Universal NOX3 but a few others aren't bad.

Twinlab now has a Nitric Fuel but it's 6 tabs. The upside is 3200mg of beta-alanine per serving.

I've been taking No Xplode for two months now, and I love the stuff. Gives you a great energy burst and focus for workouts. I also have never crashed on it, gives me energy trough out the day. I take it in the morning when I wake up about an hour before I workout. The only side effects I've noticed is I get the shakes sometimes now.

Hey guys, I got my yerba mate in the mail the other day, as well as a gourd and bomilla... hands down it is the best energy supplement I have taken so far. I am alert and focused in classes, I don't get that mid day groggy ness, and I never crash. I don't really know any other way to say it, but its pretty amazing. I would reccommend anyone who is in this forum to try out some, atleast a sample packet to see what I am talking about. YERBA MATE = GOOD STUFF! I don't work for any of these companies or anything, and I really don't care if you try it or not, but seriously, if you like extra energy, and you can bare the flavor of the mate, then try it out. not to mention its cheaper than all hell of any supp you can take

Does anyone have feedback on accelerade and GU?
I have tried Accelerade and haven't found it to be that "energetic" as I thought it would be. Because it has a mix of carbs, electrolytes, and protein, it still is good as an all around way to keep going through your workout. The taste isn't that great and can be a little gritty. I have stuck with my tried and true Powerbar brand Endurance. It is cheaper and tastes better. Only has Lemon and Punch flavor, so I alternate each time I purchase. It does have enough electolytes and small amount of carbs to make it through, and I feel that is all you need to keep you adequately hydrated. For energy, I would look into FRS, the Lance Armstrong supplement. The chews aren't that great, and the ready to drink can be expensive. Although the cost is a little high, it keeps you going through the day and keeps your brain sharp. Look into the website, they have a free trial so you can check out different types and flavors. It was worth it for me. Hope I helped, at least a little....

New to the forums, on my way around. Love to be a new part of the community.

I am a little biased. Have been taking "Green Drink" Supplements for the past couple months and have noticed a huge increase in how I feel. After I took a few different ones I decided to formulate my own.

But "Green Drink" supplements are my pick. If you don't know what they are it's basically a ton of the greens you don't normally get in your diet in a day. I started out with Tony Robbin's Inner Balance and moved on from there.

honestly dude i have been using all sorts of supps since for a little over a year now i have used black powder many times (finished a couple jugs), and can tell as long as it doesnt mess with hormones (prohormes), it really wont effect your growth, i mean i have grown actually a couple inches right wen i thought i was done growing too! I know many other people who use regualr supps like this when still growing and are fine.

I used to be a big runner and I have used both of these with much success. I love GU because it tastes pretty good and its small to carry with you on runs but to use as an energy supplement it is not good because if you use it everyday your body quickly gets used to it and you will not get the same energy boosts as you did when you first start using it. I believe on there website they talk about only using GU on race days because of this.

As for Accelerade, I thought it was ok I think there are alot better energy drinks out there that are much more effective like Redline.

If you are going to add the aspirin, use the baby aspirin. You can buy it at any drug store. They are only 81 mg per tablet. The benefit is that aspirin thins your blood. The ephedra speeds up your heartbeat and caffeine gives you energy. This stack works very well but should be cycled as it can be addictive as well as dangerous because people continue to increase dosages hoping for better results.
