Great push day today, feels extra good to finally be back in the gym and eating decent bros .
I know who I am. And after all these years, there’s a victory in that.

As a sort of post trick r' treating timing, my Blackstone Labs Spooky Candy Isolate arrived today. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but I took a lick of the seal and a good whiff...
Spoiler!
...Yeah, it really captures "Halloween Candy" in a protein powder, specifically light notes of candy corn. It's not overpowering in smell or cloyingly sweet like candy corn, though, while still having a distinct enough flavor profile to separate it from being merely another take on vanilla.
As someone who always liked the idea of candy corn, but could never stomach the pure sweetness (even as a child), this protein has me really excited for what it offers.
I should also be getting the Black Magic Supply Limited Edition Devil's Cake, which Stack3d says is supposed to be red velvet, although I would not be disappointed in a regular Devil's food cake flavor, either.I will stand firm, I refuse to kneel - The fury in me is divine

Well, gyms here in mainland Europe have closed down again until mid-December. I consider myself fortunate that I have amassed a pretty solid set up at the house where I can get a really effective session for all bodyparts at the house, but it still kind of sucks to not be able to train in the gym environment.

What have you guys been using for pres lately? I haven’t used any for a couple years another than a caffeine tablet or an occasional bang or monster.
Anything exotic still available or has that all been shutdown. A couple years back I was able to find some old God of War with AMP-Cit and that rocked me

Hi!
I'm seeking advice from the Legends of Preworkouts. I've been using C4 ultimate for months now and love it, but I'm probably getting too used to the formula so I'm looking to change it up. I bought Al****en from Morphogen Nutrition, but that stuff literally puts me to sleep, pretty terrible so I gave the extra bottles to gym buddies. They hated it too, ended up just throwing it out.
My local supplement shop was promoting these two pre-workouts, but I wanted input from the forum on whether or not they're legit before buying. I took some photos of the labels:

I recognize the second one because of the DMAA + DMHA as being Dark Energy, but I've never used it so the best I can say is to check out the Fitness Deal News review
A couple I've really enjoyed lately are:
Defiant Unleashed (Halloween) by Muscleforce
Spoiler!
I love this version in particular. The extra holiday additions really stand out; the noopept keeps me extremely level through the entire workout and it just feels fantastic.
Phase One Nutrition Pre Phase
Spoiler!
I'd describe this as a much lighter version of the above, although I honestly prefer the Defiant Unleashed.
Immortal X by Rage Nutrition
Spoiler!
Assassin V6:
Spoiler!
^This one tastes absolutely awful, though, so be warned. It's just very, very bitter, and I honestly mix it with the Immortal X because I've literally had the bitterness stay with me during an entire workout before.
Probably the most "sketchy" pre I take is "Crack" by Dark Labs
Spoiler!
Supposedly 120mg of DMAA, who knows, but overall I enjoy it and it gets me through an extensive full body lift day with zero complaints.
Even if those two pre workouts don't have DMAA, they're still probably better than C4.
~~~~
Black Magic Supps Devil Cake arrived and it is bloody phenomenal! I have never been able to understand the Red Velvet hype until this protein because it's magical. The combination of protein sources gives it a very good texture, just like the chocolate peanut butter puff flavor. Here, the chocolate stands out with this insane blend of a creaminess that transcends all of the "vanilla" pseudo-frostings you might have had before, tasting almost like a layer of cheesecake in frosting form alongside the cake.I will stand firm, I refuse to kneel - The fury in me is divine

I decided I’m just gonna start making my own pre’s. Caffeine pills with bulk beta alanine, cit-malate, and betaine.

Thanks again for the advice! They gave me some free samples of both to play around with and you're right.
They both provide laser focus and good energy. First one has high level energy for about 4 hours, focus effects for about 7/8 hours total, followed by a soft crash. The second one has high level energy for about 2.5/3 hours, focus effects for about 6/7 hours total, followed by a soft crash. I think the main differences that I can feel are that the first once feels like a good mood enhancer (if that's even a thing), and the second one amplifies tingles to the max but it's also easier to get into rage mode and attack each set with more intensity.
I don't really have a preference so far, but if I were to be working out with a buddy I wouldn't take the second one; tunnel vision probably too intense with that one to be social. If I had a long session (3+ hours) I'd go for the first one. If I had a short session (1-2 hours), I'd go for the second one. If I needed maximum effort in a short time window, definitely the second one. Most of my workouts are 3-4 hours long so I don't see myself using the second one very much.
I don't know enough about pre workouts to know what is legit and what's not so I appreciate the heads up! I asked the guys at my local supplement shop about the ingredients and they said I would be WADA compliant as long as I didn't take them while in competition, so yeah, I think that's at least some level of acknowledgment of shadiness.
Yeah, the first one is Dark Energy, the second one is Volt. After sampling those two I realize these aren't pre-workouts I would use for most sessions (1-2x a week at most) and I still really like C4 Ultimate! I'm looking into some of the pre-workouts you suggested that would work more as C4 Ultimate substitutes.
Thanks again for the feedback guys!Last edited by Camarija; 11-11-2020 at 05:55 PM.
