Hi,
I started out using C4 as my preworkout. After reading a number of threads on Hemavol, I started stacking it with the C4. It's difficult to judge whether it has helped or not. So, I'm thinking of dropping the Hemavol and only using C4. Another alternative is caffeine plus l-arginine and Hemavol since Hemavol doesn't have any caffeine in it. Probably a whole host of other alternatives. Getting ready to place an order and wanted input.
Thoughts?

Stacking C4 and Hemavol - Continue or just use one?

No, arginine isn't going to help. If you don't like Hemavol theres a lot of other non-stim options out there like High Volume, Vaskular, Bodyforge 2.0 and White Pump. What exactly were you expecting from the Hemavol?

I'm not saying I don't like Hemavol, I am questioning the value of the stack vs only using C4 or Hemavol. I wonder if I should try the same workout with just C4 and then just Hemavol and see what the difference is. Looking for pump, focus, endurance, etc. The typical stuff we want in a preworkout. I loved a preworkout that had DMAA in it when in the gym. But, hated the side effects (stim dick). So, I switched to C4 Extreme.

To me, that sounds absolutely awesome in terms of a pre-workout stack. But if you don't like hemavol just pick a different non-stimmed preworkout to stack it with.

A great combination...but why do you feel you're not getting much from Hemavol? You should feel absolutely swollen with the Hemavol + nitrates from the C4.
We recommend using 20+ ounces of water for each scoop, taken about 30-45 minutes preworkout, at least 2 hours away from your preworkout meal. Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions about that. We want you to have the best experience possible!
Also, stay away from arginine unless it's arginine nitrate...it really lacks clinical support unlike a lot of other more popular pump ingredients.NOV || Ohio Chapter || Be more, have less.

wade is right on the $,
each alone should produce some great workouts,
if you want to see exactly what hemavol is doing, but dont want to lose that stim energy my bread and butter is always 1 caffeine tab + 2 scoops of hemavol in 20 oz of water. just like wade said, hemavol works with lots of water, and an empty stomach. if you're worried about missing out on the nitrates we do have KNO3, potassium nitrate, in cap form. or max out.
either way its a killer stack youve got going on.
