I still stick with the good old ECA stack. Have tried PWO powders before. But found them to be overpriced.
Mostly caffeine with some new ingredient that usually ends up getting banned.
If you use a PWO powder maybe better off buying ingredients that you find work individually.
Safe a lot of money and know what you are actually using.
A lot of supp. companies have put stuff that shouldn't been in there or not put what should be in there.
Honestly a good cup of strong coffee ...i dont why but coffee vs energy drinks and pw with caffeine the coffee always seems way more potent and theres less caffeine in the coffee go figure
Most energy drinks have less caffeine that coffee. Coffee is usually between 80 to 200 mgs.
A Red Bull only has 83 mgs and coast more than coffee.
And for the UK members an 8 ounce cup of tea can provide 15-57mg of caffeine. :}
This has a list of caffeine content for energy drinks. I was surprised a little 5 hr energy shoot extra strength had the most at 242 mgs.

I just drank a bang energy drink this morning it has 300mg i dont drink redbull...
I thought a serving was 8oz that chart mainly shows 16 to 20oz serving of coffee...so 2 servings and still not 300...my point was that natural caffeine in coffee in tea is more potent not more mg per serving which your chart shows
Alphamale500In terms of energy for your workout and keeping up endurance, I like to use just a moderate dose of caffeine in the form of Vivarin tablets. Just 100mg(a half tablet) is enough to give me some extra energy and stamina for my workout, but everyone's different. I would just drink coffee but I can't stand the taste. And there's also the various AAS compounds I'm usually taking also that help.
But I've seen some of these latest pre-workout formulas with 450mg of caffeine in each serving, and I think that's just fuckn crazy! That's like asking for a heart attack. Especially, if someone happened to be adding this to a cutting stack they're on with clen in it! Smh.
Coffee
AnonI will take coffee over any energy drink or preworkout mix. There is a good wealth of knowledge about coffee available. Humans have been drinking coffee for a long time. Meamwhile a bunch of millenials are passing kidney stones after a decade of Redbull and Monster energy drink consumption. Not that many years ago some pre-works were spiked with Epistane.... liver toxic and suppressive on natural testosterone. Nobody knows what the longterm effects are of some of these wierd prework mixes. I tried C4 pwo once, probably took too much, I thought I got lice at the gym, I was itchy man! lol
Alphamale500Speaking of crazy energy drinks and pre-workouts, have you seen this Pro BB's(Jay) pre-workout with 450mg of caffeine per serving? I think that's a little crazy! I'm all for using some caffeine or drinking some coffee before your workout, but 450mg of caffeine??? Coffee in moderate amounts actually has health benefits to it. But there's really no need for that amount.
The average cup of coffee has just roughly 40-50mg of caffeine in it. So that's about 10 cups of coffee in one shot! Smh. Even 100mg of caffeine is plenty for me and still gives me some jitters, lol! If I took that 450mg serving of caffeine, I'd probably have a fuckn heart attack. Smh man, idk!!
Funniest thing is in his videos he always use to go on about how he was anti-stimulant and preferred more natural types of workout enhancers - But now its for money he suddenly changes his mind. Sell out ....

This short video has a great rant about the dangers of pre-workouts & the heart
Alphamale500100%! Yep, it's all about the money bro. Can you classify caffeine as natural? It might be a naturally occurring substance, but it's definitely a stimulant right? Lol!! Yeah, there's no getting out of that one for him. And c'mon, that's not a well thought out, scientifically backed pre-workout blend!
That's just enough caffeine to give you a heart attack bro! Might as well take a hit of crack before training, Lol! That's obviously just a joke, so don't anyone go and do that!
I wonder how many people are actually messing themselves up on that crap? Doing 450mg of Caffeine, Fast acting compounds, AAS Orals, & HGH right before training... Seems like a fast track to an enlarged heart. No thanks.. I'll pass on the pre work out fad!
Coffee black during cut....Coffee w/ heavy cream no sugar during bulk! Boom
Alphamale500Coffee/caffeine is great and healthy! I like caffeine but not the taste of coffee.
I find one of the best things to take is 1 or 2 Dextrose tabs - not the powder that goes into drinks but the tablets. Every single time after having one within 5 minutes I'm itching to start training.
DUDE STRAIGHT METH OR IT DOES NOT FUCKING COUNT!!!
Yikes.. I'll pass on that, but like the old school Coffee, Asprin, Ephedra stack!
While I obviously am kidding I will advise against anyone doing amphetamines as a pre workout. If I remember correctly, WSM had to start testing for those because guys would take them as a pre workout and have heart rates as high as 250, aka basically about to have a heart attack.

You'll like this video! Briefly talks about dangers of preworkout on the heart while on AAS!
Pfft, if you "need" something to get you through a work out I question your commitment to the iron..
I'll agree you don't "need" anything, but there is a point when you're just going through the motions, not really getting that pump or complete exertion. That being said, I have only noticed this feeling when my blood sugar has dropped, aka not being properly fueled. Carb powder is bae.
That could also be your training schedule. If you are bored to death with it you will be more lethargic. I am old , if anyone needed a pre-workout it is me and I don't.
exactly ! That is what I'm saying . Fuck a damn pre-workout there mostly just a waste of money.
Get your ass in the gym and have some self discipline
I am all for a cup of coffee if you need it but other than the cup I have first thing in the morning I am good. I guarantee every one of you dudes that are using pre-workout would do just as well without them. It might take a little bit to get used to not using them but you will.
Couldn’t agree more. I wake up at 5:45 and don’t train til 6:30 at night, so I need a cup of high octane coffee sometimes to wake up a bit, but Preworkout supps are a waste of money to me.
And if we’re being honest, the coffee is just to get my head in the game. Even if you’re dragging, once your blood gets pumping and the adrenaline is up, you’re usually good to go from there.
That said, there’s this friend I have... His name is Terry Nathon Esterless. I don’t mind getting a little boosty boost from him on heavy squat or DL days every once in a while.
Rustyhooker^^^^coffee chocolate whey and hit it.
C4 preworkout... too good
I’ve used pre-workouts for years (work out at night). A few months back I ran out, so I substituted cold brew coffee. I honestly haven’t noticed a difference. It’s much cheaper as well.
I work out at night too and That’s exactly what I do. I cold brew death wish coffee. 6oz of that shit and I’m good to go.
2 cafeine pills 2 dollars for 1 bottle cheap as hell i tried once the homemade hypemud it worked but the taste was just awfull
Alphamale500I use caffeine pills too, but just half a tablet(100mg) of Vivarin. That's equal to roughly 2 cups of coffee and is just enough to give me a little extra mental focus. (Even though it says on the box that 1 pill /200mg is equal to one average cup of coffee. That's 100% pure bullshit!!!)
Total War is good Or psychotic..
I like total war, half scoop has me feeling good
I like it too but not since I started my clen back.
I understand that, when I take tren I don't really mess with pwo either.. Scary lol
I’m taking Tren too but I said Clen...
What did we tell you about you using tren?
Don’t go past 800mg? Lmao I forgot...
I know what you said lol
Is psychotic better then edge of insanity
Hey bud been meaning to ask you - Would T3 help with the lethargy some of us experience from Anadrol do you think?
No just take less drol
I never take it as any dose gives me it.
Small dose of caffeine... I wouldn’t take it. I would take 4-6 weeks of test Prop if you’re looking for some instant gains.
LOL
I figured you were running a long ester so short esters to give you a little boost. What’s so funny?
I only look at the strength based compounds and already run prop ED together with enanth.
I would only run it if your 4 weeks out from a competition. That or halo... You’re the power lifter right? Get bloods done too might be something to do with your liver values to why your lethargy kicks in. Either that or quit being a bitch and push through it!
Quit being a bitch? I was asking for your help on something as I've never run T3 before.
