I cut right to the chase: 200 mg caffeine pills. 'Energy drinks' are fine, but they're basically just high-caffeine soda.

in addition to whatever pre-workout drink I'm using, I like a tall mug (hot) of a three tea combo:
black tea
green tae
yerba matte

No energy drink for me. They are glorified soda. Since I have to watch my sugar intake they are a no no. I still have a tub of No-Explode that I will take on occations. Please read the ingredients list on that can before you pop the top. You will be suprised.

They have them without sugar and ones with no carb or very low carbs.

Turbo Tea is one of the few drinks that I like the taste.

Lo - Carb Monster before workouts, and Propel Fitness water during my workouts. I normally have to refill the propel bottle with water from the fountain at least once or twice.
I get both fairly cheap from Walmart.
I want to try the No-Explode the next time I order some protein.

Yep, typically people won't try my speed stacks, but the turbo teas (probably the word "tea" makes them feel safe) they normally enjoy. Typically i combine grape Speed stack and each Turbo OR fruit punch Speed and raspberry Tea...it's not too bad.

ErgoPharm's ClearShot is about the closest to the old Redline RTDs...
I sometimes take those or Athletic Edge's Steel Edge prior to a workout and then Athletic Edge's IntrAbolic and water during a workout...

Water IS my energy drink!

Icchy!

I start my workouts at 5:30 am so I get up at 4:30 and do breakfast first and have 2 cups of strong coffee. During workout and the rest of the day it is just plain old H20 except on Sundays when I allow myself 1 rum and ginger beer or a Becks.

Any time Im asked whats a good energy drink I just say " drink coffee" most energy drinks are loaded with caffine anyway.I make instant coffee 'tasters choice' 100% arabica beans from Columbia .I make it strong using no sugar with cream put it in the frig till chilled .I drink maybe a forth or 3rd of it before I train.Only when I feel its needed.

I have been taking Cytomax during my workout. It really helps keep the energy level up. It's like Gatorade, but more for the hard working athlete. The orange taste great and the grape isn't bad. I like it because it does the job and doesn't have caffeine.

I used to use Fast Twitch from Cyto as pre-workout drink. Its not exactly energy drink but its NO, caffeine, creatine and whatnot. Good stuff, jack me up and help to focus on hard work. Its been many times when I didn't have mood to work out but once I drink Fast Twitch I think nothing but weights. I am off it to try other things but will probably buy it again.
