The preworkout thread

The other day I used Dymatize Nutrition's M.P.ACT Energy Ignitor and wasn't impressed. It's a pretty standard product and hits you fairly strong but I didn't like the feel from it. There are much better products on the market but still a 6/10.

Earlier I used 2 scoops of Quake 10.0 for the first time in a while. It gets good reviews online but for me it simply doesn't deliver. On paper it sounded fantastic so I am not sure what has gone on. An example a very cheap ingredient is Caffeine Anhydrous which they would never short the dosing. However it's suppose to contain 350mg Caffeine Anhydrous and there is no way I feel that. 350mg caffeine is a lot and I use caffeine most days and this doesn't feel like 350mg in a million years. I used the Curse the other day and feel that much more even those the stated dose is much lower. I really wanted it to be great and when ordering was excited as it looks great but very standard even with 2 full scoops. I will stick with my 6.5/10 rating.

I am going to calm down with the pre workouts for awhile. I will still use them most training days but no more than 300mg caffeine and no strong stimulants. Plus that's the only caffeine I have in the day. I will also have a 2 week break from all caffeine very soon.

I just realized I never posted my pre workout collection pic so here it is...

Mesomorph is king.

I have been enjoying using D-Stunner Alpha. It hits hard and fades quicker than most so I especially recommend it for guys who are in and out of the gym within 1 hour.

I may have been a bit generous giving Universal's Shock Therapy 7.5/10 for 2 scoops. It's not a great pre workout and I wouldn't even waste using 1 scoop for me. It's still decent but you need to double scoop it. I understand why in a video I saw Antoine Vailliant treble scooping it. It doesn't state the actual caffeine content and I just looked online to read a rep stating 1 scoop contains "the amount of caffeine is equal to about 2 cups of coffee". Obviously that statement could mean anything but using logic most people go by approx 100mg caffeine per coffee. Although 2 scoops does not feel like 400mg caffeine and closer to 300mg but who knows. It would be ideal for a beginner but there are definitely much better products on the market.

Tonight I used 1.5 scoops of RedCon1's Total War and that felt amazing. It does state don't use more than 2 scoops in a 24 hour period so it's not advertised as a 1 scoop formula even though I mainly use 1 scoop like most people. The 1/2 scoop definitely makes a big difference though. 1 scoop is 250mg caffeine but it contains other stimulants. I was full of energy and the pump was incredible. I obviously use an intra shake as well so that only adds to pumps too. But these pumps were different than usual and I definitely felt the difference.

I am sorry about the late reply I have been away and only just noticed this. Thanks for the great offer but it's awkward as I live in Switzerland. Otherwise I would love to try them.

I ordered myself a tub of the Matrix Nutrition NO Pump Xtreme that I have used in the past. I visited my parents in the UK and had it sent there as it's easier. I have to say I was a little disappointed. I guess I am just so used to having that stimulant boost and it was missing that. Although the pumps were great so I can't complain. Long story short I left it in the UK so annoyed as I wanted to use it at home for my late night workouts. I am sure with some teacrine or another stimulant added it will be perfect.

Last night I used 1 scoop of Hyphy Mud 2.0 and that was amazing. Full of energy and focus and it's one of the best I have ever used as my list shows.

Tonight I used Betancourt's D-Stunner Alpha again in cherry ice flavour. The first 30 mins are amazing and a big high and lot's of energy but it does drop and fast. This is best used just before you walk in the gym for approx 1 hour workouts. It does obviously stay with you but you definitely feel the drop. If it didn't have the drop it would be higher than an 8/10 and near the top. I originally wanted to get their original D-Stunner as that is supposed to be amazing but I think it was banned and the Alpha version was released. I have just looked online on about 10 sites and the original is discontinued or out of stock.

Never been able to take a full scoop of stimul8. I imagine a full scoop is what smoking crack and snorting coke at the same time would feel like.

Tonight I took 1 scoop of Hyphy Mud 2.0 and half a scoop of D-Stunner Alpha and it didn't disappoint. I wanted a big surge of energy and I was flying

I used to combine products a lot in the past but stopped doing it. Gonna carry on combining them but not overdo the total dose.

The d-stunner alpha really hits in quick and hard and the hyphy mud is slower (still quick though) so it's a nice combination. Although they are both high energy blends but that what I was going for tonight. I might do the same 2moro with 1 scoop of total war and 1/2 scoop of d-stunner alpha as they have much different release patterns.
