I believe it's Al****en from Morphogen Nutrition.
They have very strong formulas, private label only. $48 each, with some 10% coupons floating around, so they're definitely "premium."

Pretty expensive for 20 servings though.
As I remember you could find first two options for much cheaper.
OP C4 ultimate is also great.
Speaking of pre-workouts, I just cracked open another tub of ANS Ritual earlier this week after a long, long break. I guess it's been discontinued so I had to buy from fleaBay. Sigh.
I've used more tubs of this than any other pre-wo. It's easily my all time #1.
I dont know what makes it so damn good, but it just jives with me really well at 1 rounded scoop.
Maybe it's dat dere dendrobium extract. Heh.

Agreed 😊
So tempted by the two remix protein flavors. Still have 10lbs of sealed protein though. I wonder how they taste in fairlife milk?

Never tried it. Is it new?
I will say Ive lots of pres that have worked well with others but have done nothing for me.
Some that work well for me
C4U
OneMoreRep
Total War stacked with Big noise
Those are constants in my stable as of right now.
In other news.... it looks like that Remix brand has finally come out with its twinkie an cup cake protein blends..... anyone try them?
Also I had mentioned BB.com PB cookie and chocolate pb proteins a while back.......
PB cookie is pretty good
Chocolate PB is WAY too sweet for me nor tastes like PB and hardly resembles chocolate too.....
I'm back...... been busy times for me. I got some reviews to catch up on......
BCAA from Xtend and I have a massive review that I need to write for C4U......... I got you guys!

Having only tried C4 Ultimate On The Go and C4 Ultimate, I know very little about Pre Workouts. I liked them both a lot, but I feel like changing it up so I don't get used to the same formulas (I don't know if there is merit in this?) and to just broaden my horizons on what's available.
I'm hoping for some recommendations on the good stuff: some combination of energy, focus, and pumps. My workouts are normally 1.5 to 2 hours of lifting followed by 45 to 60 minutes of low intensity steady state cardio.
I think I'm looking for 3-5 g of Beta Alanine, 8 g of Citrulline Malate, and Caffeine. I'm already taking Creapure separately, but creatine in the PWO formula isn't a dealbreaker. Does that sound about right? Is there anything else I should look for? Is there anything I should be wary of?
I'm taking a look at these ones:

Any advice, cautions, or recommendations would be much appreciated, and thank you in advance![/QUOTE]
the last one looks great. I'd personally add a caffeine tab, but I'm a stim head.

Used a few tubs of Vortex back when it first dropped and i really liked it. Great flavoring system too.
Does anyone else have a problem with the C4 powder hardening/crystallizing?? I read its the Citrulline. Any info??
What?
any thoughts on Nitro Surge??
[QUOTE=Farley1324;1613565181]What?[/QUOTE] sorry. C4. it hardens up after like 15 days
[QUOTE=RosieRose1;1613566061]sorry. C4. it hardens up after like 15 days[/QUOTE]
Hardening is usually due to moisture, make sure the lid is tight and it's stored in a cool place

Could be from high humidity. When I lived on the coast it would happen if I left it in my car for to long. High humidity and high heat.
But you can just suck on it like a jawbreaker until you feel it kick in
Refrigerator.

Supposedly they gunna release a new Ritual soon, my guess is the PEA, even tho people chit on it for its half life or whatever, I remember OG animal rage with PEA provided some decent energy but for some reason it was very addicting back then.
Late to the party but finally tried Outright bars. Man good stuff.
Ordered me some Syntha 6 in Banana

[QUOTE=Joe D;1613902911]What’s a good choc/pb protein? Was looking forward to the bb.com one, but it got the thumbs down.[/QUOTE]
Ive had the BB.com choc/pb and it's awful.
If you find a good one, let me know.
omg love those
The recent posts about favorite pre-workouts had me thinking of my top 5 personal favorites and I can only think of 4 definite ones.
In no order
DS - Craze
Purus Labs - Muscle Marinade (the OG version)
ANS - Ritual
Cellucor - C4 Ultimate
Im trying to think of my 5th pick but it's like a four way tie.

Heeeey nice. Good post and nice reviews. I think the Xtend vanilla is a little better than you give it credit for though.
I havent tried the Dymatize vanilla. I'm working my way through a small tub of Muscletech Advanced Whey vanilla that tastes like warm puke, but as soon as that's gone Im on it.
BTW I am also working my way through a tub of the Fruity Pebbles ISO100 and it's an easy 12/10. It's amazeballs.
[QUOTE=eatyourspinach;1613995771]I could use some more of those expensive razor samples[/QUOTE]
I got one of those once. I don’t use a razor but they were awesome to receive.
So at two heaping scoops, Levels has actually been treating me really well. Just cuts into the value when I take a bit over recommended dosage, but it's very effective for me. Starting to like it quite a bit.
Seriously though, whoever came up with that branding needs to be fired (sorry if it's someone itt)
Might grab some of that Jump! thermogenic though on sale. Doesn't have any of the go to's like citrulline for training, but as a purely stim product it looks nice at 2 scoops.
