Eat MORE food, especially making sure that you're getting in plenty of CARBOHYDRATES. If that is NOT an option, then RPM by Applied Nutriceuticals gives smooth, focused energy for ~6 hours after dosing.

Just wanted to add to this, CLEAN, COMPLEX carbs...

Not sugar.

That's spike your insulin, and then make you crash.

Also, depending on your goals, don't forget to factor in the excess calories into your diet

any one of these will probably help:

Superpump or other NO boosters
Xtend
CoQ10
Biotin
B-complex vitamins
caffeine
5-HTP

If you already have high blood pressure, or it runs in your family, the taurine/guarana combo isn't so healthy for you...

It's only a limited time effect that will wear off after a while. I'd take an NO product pre workout, and then just fuel your body with clean foods the rest of the day for energy....

I use NO-Xplode before my workout, and it helps a lot! ^^ It's a preworkout drink you take 45 minutes before your routine.

For energy, I like to use maca powder, and for focus I like bacopa. I keep forgetting to take the bacopa though, since it's a pill and maca is a powder that I think tastes really good, so I have more of an incentive to take it. It's really effective though!

I also eats lots of fruit, which doesn't seem to affect me like table sugar (which makes me crash). Plus since I digest it quickly, I don't feel like taking a nap after eating or anything like that.

Here's some info on it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maca

I think it tastes great, I blend 1 T with 1 banana, 1 T raw cacao and 1/4 c. hemp seeds + water to make a high energy high protein drink. I do know a few people who don't like its taste though.

MyoShock, by Muscletech, has an amount of caffeine equal to 4 cups of coffee, but other ingredients as well. I will give you great pumps and also keep you going all day. It's by far the best pre-workout I've used.

I thought Myoshock was a product for HSPs and helped with anabolism via the uncoupling of proteins...not energy...
