I have been using a lot of pre workouts over the last year so thought I would start this thread. I have also seen a lot of talk about various pre workouts scattered all over the forum. I figured we could all post our favourite pre workouts and why. New ones come out all the time too so I can keep this thread updated. Although I am gonna calm them down alittle for health reasons but no chance I will be stopping. I should note I used to be extra sensitive to caffeine but over time that is the opposite now.
Here are a few I have tried in recent times each with a brief review...
GAT Nitraflex- Not impressed at all. I just had a 2 weeks break from caffeine too. It's meant to have 325mg caffeine and 1.5g beta alanine per scoop but I don't feel either. Taste means nothing for pre workout's but I will say the pina colada is fantastic. For a newbie this would likely be good but I don't recommend.
Gaspari SP250- Very good. Better for energy and focus than pumps bit overall a great pre workout. It did make me crash a bit later on though. I would get the shakes too. Very strong even at just 1 scoop and it is not a 1 scoop formula. Definitel worth trying if you like to feel stimulated.
Beast Yourself Raging Bull- Very good. On paper it is incredible but doesn't live on to that. Really good pumps and combined with an espresso it comes alive even more.
Lee Lebrada Super Charge Xtreme 4.0- Not impressed at all. I bought a big tub and I doubt I will even have half over 6 months. Not a cheap pre workout either. It's meant to have loads of caffeine in but I feel a single espresso more. Might be ok for some but definitely not for me.
Dorian Yates NOX Pump- Decent. I used this years ago and it was incredible. This time nowhere as good so the formula must be different (something got banned). Maybe better than decent as with an espresso I am an animal in the gym. This an a single espresso was a fav of mine for a while.
Cobra Labs The Curse- Fantastic. On paper this is the worst one. Very basic etc. I think it has 125mg caffeine and 5mg olive leaf extract per scoop. But I feel this a lot and it seems to get great reviews by most. Very cheap too. 2 scoops of this will make you a machine in the gym. 1 scoop (125mg caffeine) is stronger than Lee Lebrada's and Nitraflex that are suppose to have alsorts in including 325mg+ caffeine. Definitely recommend if you want something simple but effective.
GSN's NitroNOX Pro- One of the best pre workouts I have ever taken. This is amazing for energy, pumps, mood etc. It has everything and I recommend it to everyone.
Matrix Nutrition NO Pump Xtreme- Amazing. This only has 80mg caffeine per scoop and is more a pump one. Incredible pumps and feel with a nice boost in energy. 2 scoops of this will give you ridiculous pumps and great energy. One of the best I have ever used.
MRI Black Powder- Crap. Not even worth writing more about. How can you fuck up a pre workout so much. 2 pro plus would be better.
Musclemeds NO BULL- Great product. Amazing for pumps and good energy. Feel very different but in a good way. Some of the best pumps ever but they fade away after 2 weeks or so.
Rich Piana's 5% Nutrition KILL IT- This one I only tried a sample so take this review with a pinch of salt. I wasn't impressed and expected/hoped for better as I like 5%. Didn't notice too much but again only a sample. I am gonna order a few of their products in the future so will get this to try out properly.
PRE JYM- One of the best pre workouts out today. It has a bit of everything and is what I would call a complete pre workout. Nice energy and focus, great pumps and fullness and overall feeling.
Nutrex Hemo Rage- I heard this was very strong but to me not at all. It's solely for energy and works well but very ordinary.
Kaged Muscle's Pre Kaged- Good but lacks a wow factor. It has a great ingredient list similar to PRE JYM but the results are nowhere as good. It's expensive too and not worth the money.
Nutrex Outlift- On paper looks amazing but doesn't delivery. It's still a very good pre workout and I imagine most would love it. But with others available not worth the purchase.
MAN Sports NOO Pump- I need to experiment more with this but very disappointed. It contains no stimulants and I used it for pump but didn't notice much. I expected this to be a great one too.
Muscle Research Pump Juice Extreme- Amazing pre workout for pumps and gives a good energy boost too. Solid product and I recommend it to everyone.
Chaos and Pain's Cannibal Ferox Amped- Very strong and for the stimulant junkie. On paper this is the strongest pre workout I have ever seen... loaded with alsorts of stimulants at legal high amounts. On an empty stomach this can hit you like a brick wall. I noticed if I took too much it would have the opposite effect and make me very tired. 1 scoop or even less is what I recommend for this. I tried more and I would be yawning in the gym. This is a great pre workout for the stimulant junkies. Check out the ingredient list. Very good product.
GAT's PMP- This feels just like their older product Nitraflex (listed above). Although it's slightly better but again not impressed. I experimented with this (timing and dose) and it's decent but with such huge competition not worth getting. Gives ok pumps and energy and for someone new to pre workouts could be great but anyone else nothing stands out about it.
5% Nutrition Full as Fuck- Fantastic for pumps and a great product. Although it's missing a volumuzing agent at clinical doses to give the fullness it promises (glycerol for example). I bought this to add onto a stimulant pre workout and it is amazing for that. It needs to be taken on a fairly empty stomach and about 30 training to get optimal results.
Dynamik Muscle's Savage Roar- I am loving this. Great energy and focus and I have having some incredible workouts on it. It really helps boost my intensity in the gym.
Dynamik Muscle's Gamma Ray- This is the their pump product and I add it to the Savage Roar (or another stimulant pre workout) and I am loving this too.
Run Everything Lab's EWP- Amazing product and I am loving this too. This gives incredible energy and focus with no crash (very similar to Savage Roar). I have basically been rotating this with Savage Roar. I either add Gamma Ray or Full as fuck and all combo's work great. I plan to buy their pump product STW to add to the mix too. I will be reordering the EWP and Savage Roar as I like them so much.
