What, if any, would be the advantage of replacing a pre-workout supplement with a thermogenic fat burner (ie. MAP Arson)? I imagine it wouldn't help with any pumps or anything, but I'm curious as to what it WOULD do for you.
Could you take BOTH if you were to switch to a caffeine-free pre-workout supplement?
Also, would taking said thermogenic interfere with a creatine supplement (ie. Gaspari Nutrition SizeOn)?
Any intelligent answers would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I use thermos (specifically Prolab Thermo Fire) pre-WO when contest prepping, and I use a specific pre-WO (Nitro Fire) offseason. It's a nice energy boost plus aiding in fat loss to use a stim fatburner while cutting. I personally do not use more than 200mg of caffeine at a time, and Prolab does not make any product that contains more than that.

I personally never exceed over 400mg, I get headaches after that point.
Most people stick with 200mg.
This should answer your question.
The lethal dose of caffeine is roughly 150 -200 mg per kg of body weight. This is equivalent to about 140 - 180 cups of coffee. To over dose on coffee one would have to consume three cups of coffee every hour for 100 hours. This is dependent on the individual's sensitivity to caffeine, but nearly impossible. Many college students and shift workers use caffeine pills to help fight off sleep and drowsiness. This is relatively harmless unless too much caffeine is ingested (Caffeine 2006). Over doses with caffeine pills can lead to toxicity resulting in caffeine poisoning. Symptoms of caffeine poisoning include restlessness, nervousness, excitement, insomnia, flushed face, diuresis, muscle twitching, paranoia, cardiac arrhythmia, rapid pulse, increased blood pressure, and disorientationThere is no easy way out.

I see no problems with it. Just try to make sure you know how much caffeine is in what you're taking, along with other stims. (Synephrine is all that comes to mind)
As long as what you're taking in is within your personal range for effectiveness/safety, good to go. Just keep in mind that more is not always better.
