    Xceed looks solid. Depends on what you're looking for.

    believe it or not, coffee for me.

    I take 3g cee pre workout.

    then 8oz of coffee immediately PW, than anoher 8 oz half way through with 64oz of water during my workout.

    I then have another 3g cee immediately post, wait 15, then whey, leucine, oats.

    Amp stacks well with coffee preworkout and then I don't have to take coffee half way through. Stim X gives me bad depression and anxiety if I take it more than 2 days in a row though

    Any, really.

    I used to rate Xpand quite highly, but since trying some more formulas, it has dropped in my estimation just by comparison.

    Caffeine+Yohimbine for me. I have used a product by Sci-Fit called Thermogen II pre-w/o before that has yohimbine(very hogh dose: about 12.5 mg per softgel), a smaller amount of caffeine and some gingko. This worked very well for me. Both the Yohimbine and the gingko are less well known vasodilators than arginine, but, in combination, work very well for me.

    My suggestion(unless your very sensitive to stimulants)= Yohimbine alkaloids or Yohimbine hcl=2.5-5 mg, caffeine 200 mg, and gingko 50-200 mg(and maybe some r-ala or vanadyl sulfate).

    Shock therapy is pretty solid, but I cannot rightfully compare it to the other products listed, since I have not yet tried them.

    I would think about SwoleN as well I had a good energy burst when on it. But out of the three that you listed I would say Shock Therapy would be my vote.

    I've tried regular Xpand and Xceed. Can't really go wrong with either one, but Xceed has much more positive/tried and true user feedback, so I would opt for Xceed.

    What's your criteria? If it's bang for the buck, Shock Therapy is pretty hard to beat.

    I am currently using Shock Therapy and I love the way it works. It's a great way to get pumps similar to No-Xplode but without the MASSIVE headaches couple of weeks later. The only downside is that I think the Fruit Punch flavor tastes like sh*t. It's always a challenge for me to get it down, I just can't stand it. I would recommend it if you can stand the flavor; otherwise, go with Xceed.(it's a bit more pricey but the flavor it a lot better)
