Looking for advice from anyone who has used this supplement, or recommendations on something similiar? I am looking to boost my energy level during my workouts. I do Kettlebell routines that are very rigorous, and need that extra burst of energy to perform to the top of my abilities.

Never tried that stuff. But I swear by pre-work out boosters.
stuff that makes the differnce is caffiene of coruse. I like powered form. Hits the blood a little faster. rather than just taking a caffiene pill.
Most pre workout boosters will have nitric oxide boosters. Citrulline and\or arganine(?).
I like Jack3D Micro only becuase I like to add my own creatine and beta-alinine.
That amino stuff you posted has beta-alinine in it. I don't know if you want to pay for that? I think its pretty pointless to put beta-alinine or creatine in pre-work out supps UNLESS you are taking pre work out supps on days your are not training which can get expensive. or supping with your own beta alinine and creatine on non gym days.
Both creatine and beta alinine need to be taken every day to be effective.
Also there is a lot of debate on line if you need free form amino's. Some say that you get MORE than enough if you are taking a lot of WHEY everyday.
ONE last little bit of advice that helps me. do you eat before you work out? I take a protien shake 1 hour before I work out. I add about 20-30 grams of maltodextrin. Slow digesting carbs. Seems to give me more energy for my workouts. I am carb cycling right now and not adding that malto to my pre workout shakes, and I am dragging.Like my profile pic? I sure don't. That is my motivation. To have the most embarrassing view of my fat back for all to see. That was taken in December 2012. My love handles are shrinking, but not enough yet. The pic will change when my goals are accomplished and I no longer suffer from FAT BACK syndrome. AKA love handles so wide I think I could flap them and fly away.
There is not a single person in this entire world you can count on, but yourself.

its not bad, just a very low dose of caffeine in it, it tastes just ok to. if you are sensitive to stims then its prob not that bad for you. I just find myself needing something a bit stronger, like bullnox/cardio igniter.
side note, the grape doesnt taste all that great imo, the fruit punch is pretty tasty thoughRunner Crew (48.6 miles Dopey Challenge -- Completed)

I love it... Orange is really good, reminds me of Tang. For me, one scoop is like drinking a strong cup of coffee, but the energy is cleaner, and I don't crash at all. I can't do most pre workouts sups, because they make me sick to my stomach... just stimulant overload. This is gentler... I'm on my second tub.

there isnt enough creatine in craze to really do anything just like majority of the preWO out there. Most companies put it in so they can charge you more. When it comes to preWO's you need to try them to see if you like it. so buy a tub or ask a friend for a few scoops so you can be the judge of what you like.
