Need Energy! Any Advice?

Hey everyone. I wanted to see if there is anything specific you use for energy pre-workout. I have a major case of dead-ass starting my work-outs. I am using Xtend during and after workouts which helps with soreness, but I have no energy. I am doing the P90X program (2 wks into it) and I just need something. Been using 5 hour energy which helps but can get expensive to use daily. Thanks for all of your suggestions.

I have been using Cellucor N-0 for about a month and its great! Its not too strong, not jittery at all, but gives me a great pump and more energy. I have heard stacking this with Cellucor D4 thermal is a more intense way to go if thats what you're looking for

I use Superpump before and during but I mix 1 scoop in 32 oz of water so its thinned down. I drink the Xtend during the day the same way.

You can also try White Flood.

^^^I tried this in a sample from here and it felt like pins and needles in my arms and up my neck and chest.- needless to say, I didn't buy it... I assume that's not the 'normal' reaction to it?

superpump was good but if I didn't take it with food (like bread with PB) I would defiantly throw up. But It gives you tons of energy and stamina. My husband wants to try Halo, but I think its labeled just for men?

I love superpump for energy!! I only take one scoop 30 minutes before workout. I drink two scoops of Xtend during workout and one scoop ON 100% whey protein post workout w/ .5 scoop green mag creatine!

That is actually COMPLETELY normal to feel that. It is the beta-alanine that does it. It kinda signals it works for some people.

Google it and read up on it, it really helps out.

I take White Flood pre-workout and love it! I actually like the taste too, so I prefer the powder to the tabs. I've tried a few different pre-WO products but this is the one that has worked best for me...it gives me some great pumps!!

I live in the UK so I don't know if this is available in the states, but, I use Wired by PhD. It's absolutely amazing and gets me super pumped really fast. It tastes amazing as well! I'm always super focused and thriving at the gym after I guzzle it up!

Hi. I am not a big sups gal - but I love beta alanine and I also love a good old glass of OJ.

A lot of people are freaked out by the fructose in fruit and juice - or if you are cutting.

But I can't have most supps because of all the artificial sweetners...they give me headaches.

BA tingles are the best! And OJ is yummy =)

Good luck!

thank you all for your suggestions, I will see about getting some samples and see what works for me.

I used a combo of Coffee and Green Tea
