check out white flood for sure. they have the 50 and 25 serving tub

AMillane7 · 09-21-2009, 11:03 AM

Depends on what matters most, but I've really liked a bunch.

WF Tabs - So easy, complete profile
Phenadrine/Plasmagen - Best endurance.
NO Shotgun - 20g protein and more goodies
SuperNOva - Complete, and very cost effective

Great combo!

Also, Nimbus Blast is a great option for focus, endurance, and hydration.

MAN Body Octan / Clout combo is another good option.

Stim free look into Poseidon + PLCAR (RPN)

Ding ding ding.

That and Body Forge get my votes, depending if you want stims or not.

ive tried sooo many and many work very well for the first few workouts but the only pwo that i have ran multiple times and works everytime is superpumps...serious.

i stack the superpump with anabolic addiction's HT-8 to get the extra edge, but you cant pick that up at vitaminshoppe yet

1.Jack3d

Maximize is awesome! Love the clean and long lasting energy I get from it! No-xplode wears off before I am even done with my workout

None of the others you tried did this? No-shotgun did that to me, but that seems to be the only one that has that effect on me.

I think i went onto their website and wrote them. that or a rep on here said to just give him my address. 2 days later i got 2 servings (kinda lame for a sample but whatever).

the taste was phenominal (spelling?)
tasted like watermelon berry koolaid or something. no joke

I'd say the best overall, safest pre-workout supp is MRI Black Powder. If it works for you, get the 3 lb tub because you save alot of money that way.

My experience with Black Powder:

- After about 8 minutes, I feel a moderate energy increase but nothing insane
- no dizziness
- no upset stomach
- no jitters
- no crashes afterwards
- blue raspberry tastes not bad

- I never got those huge pumps from it so I just bought some nitric oxide caps and I take those 45 min pre-workout, then the Black Powder, wait 15 - 20 minutes and hit the weights. Then I get huge pumps and stay huge but it has to build up and that takes a few weeks to maybe one month, depending on the person.
- Only thing I should mention is make sure you go to the bathroom before, otherwise, about 30 minutes after the Black Powder, you make have to take an explosive dump!!! lol.

there is no "best"

they all have their own pros and cons

you can't go wrong with the majority of the products mentioned here

Just ephedrine hcl (well and of course the expectorant) and caffeine.

Not for everybody, but nothing touches this in terms of effectiveness and price for me.

yeah but i dont think anything containing ephedrine is good for ppl who r looking to bulk. if the op had asked wuts good for cutting then that might work but just straight ephedrine is not a good idea for a preworkout supp.

Most pre-workout products are slammed with caffeine and other various stims. Whats wrong with picking two of the best?

If only taken pre-workout it will hardly jeopardize any bulking goals

u cant really say ephedrine and caffeine r the same. the majority of preworkout supps have somewhere around 200mg of caffeine and thats hardly "slammed".

I never said they are the same. Plus with some wild proprietary blends you can only speculate what's in some products.

But hey there are a ton of pre workout supps out there for you to choose from so you're in luck. I've tried almost all of them and I'm thankful that at the end of the day my best combo costs me less than $15/mo. To each their own...this thread asked "in your opinion" boss.

Serbian Stud · 09-21-2009, 10:06 PM

CL White Flood
APS Phenadrine
USPLabs Jack3d

These three have been my favorite so far and most effective, although I want to try dark rage.
