I've always used Cellucor C4, C4 extreme energy, c4 extreme w/ N02, and liked it.
I recently tried C4 ultimate, anf c4 original and wasn't impressed.
Is there anything new out that is similar to C4 extreme w/ N02. Or that is better overall.
Thanks.
Anything to steer away from?

Surprised you didn't like C4U, it's one of my favorite preworkouts.
My favorites heading into the new year:
ProjectAD Stampede Untamed
Inspired White Cutz
Dymatize Pre WO
C4U
Kraken
Redcon1 Mental Trigger - you'd want to mix this with a pump pre. This is a good mild energy and very good feel good focus pre, take on days you have high natural energy and don't need a lot of caffeine.Progressive overload + progressive eating = gains. Simple as that!

Outlift Concentrate uses NO3 had used several samples more recent, gonna pick a couple tubs up myself but its pretty potent very solid pre.

That Outlift I mention is similar-ish but the added Rauw & additional caffeine makes it hit far harder than C4 Ultimate and it also includes the NO3 so.. Disagree :P
Tho unsure how one likes other versions of C4 yet dislikes ultimate which is essentially just a stronger version of the rest an upgrade to the C4 50x I liked both-- Microwaves everyday crew --

Maybe
But its still more stimulants at normal dosage and is without a doubt stronger stimulant wise the additional 100mg caffeine per serving makes a big difference on the effects of the Rauw for C4U I was using 25-30g at a time. I am not sure how much Rauw C4U uses since it's in a prop but I would suspect possibly less ~.5-1mg. Their AMP'd was also pretty good but had slightly less Rauw 1.5mg tho both I suspect use more than C4 but I just don't know for certain they have a much different feel tho than C4U does that's for sure.-- Microwaves everyday crew --

I'm wondering why people keep mentioning the Nutrabio pre. Lol. OP didn't really mention goals for his pre. I see a lot of people recommending stamina and muscle pres that would knock a joe blow, 3 day a week, no legs lifter on his butt and send him to the bathroom to hurl. Lol. Pretty much anyone relying on C4 has yet to branch out in the supplement community. C4 did have a recall on some of their flavors a while back due to clumping that made some flavors not as effective. Perhaps that was the problem with the Ultimate he tried. Or maybe he needs a lil adrenal break! I guess we need to know the goal of the OP

Actually- I quite enjoy C4. I also enjoy white flood, PreJym, Hyde, and am looking forward to receiving my packages from Nutrabolics and Magnum....1MR Vortex wasn’t bad, and there are a couple I can’t mention here since they aren’t sold here that were quite good....but knocking C4 is like a fart in church....maybe not your cup-o-pre but it works quite well for me, especially when I put it with some other things(mentioned in my previous post)....but by itself it has certainly stood up.

c4 does its job, is cheap and people can buy it at costco or walmart. that being said, it's definitely a starter pre that people who dont know much about preworkouts take. they have a corner on the market and don't need to do much advertising... 1MR is similar. PreJym is ok in my opinion and Hyde is ridiculous. too much caffeine! Kids get wasted on scoops and eventually it is not longer effective till they take a break from it.
There are a ton of supplements out there to try but it is hard to recommend something to someone without knowing their goal and what else is going on in their life!

Don’t know much about rage or fury although I have used a variety of their pill packs. I’m sure either one is good. I’ve not been disappointed by what I’ve had. Betancourt BNox is pretty good also. I only had the RTD but it was a nice shot in the arm when I forgot my usual stuff at home.
