Best pre-workout Sup

[mrwright]

I'l looking into getting my first pre workout supplement to help me push it that bit more and get focused etc

just wondering what others use/suggest and why?

Preferably looking for something that's not caffeine based as high caffeine energy drinks etc do nothing for me, and as with everything the cheaper the better!!

After abit of a search around i'm thinkin it's between

Muscle Pharm Assault
Betancourt Nutrition Bullnox Androrush
Nutrex HEMO-RAGE Black Ultra concentrate
Anadraulic Pump
Amped NOS
Anadraulic State GT
NOX Pump 30 sachets UltraLife
Jack3d

Basically most of the supps out there haha

Well I've used 2 of the ones on your list; Jack3d and Assault. Jack3d is not what you're looking for if you don't want caffeine based. I will say that even if your tolerance for energy drinks is high, it won't be for Jack3d. I don't get anything out of energy drinks either but Jack3d still got me going. It is more than caffeine.

Assault is less about caffeine and more of a beta-alanine type boost. I got more of that tingly feeling taking that then the Jack3d.

Now to throw off your decision, I'm currently taking ON's Amino Energy. It's something in between the two. There is a slight tingly feeling which I seem to have grown a tolerance to. There's no instant jolt like Jack3d. There's also no crash at the end. It lasts my entire workout. So far, this is my favorite of the three.

Make things easier for me why dont ya haha!

Spose ill just have to price them up and see which is the cheapest/best

Bullnox doesn't seem to exist on most websites so theres 1 down

I think muscle pharm is cheaper than like jack3d etc
but then again some of the lesser known ones are cheaper and i can get them straight away
gaahh i hate shopping haha!
Times like this i need a woman!

Assault may look cheaper, but Jack3d uses less per serving. They don't have many fillers so a tiny scoop (roughly a tablespoon) goes a long way. Assault uses a scoop near the size of typical whey scoops.

Exactly as Justin said, Assault may look cheaper but you get more per serving with Jack3d as for Assault you are paying around 35-40$ a tub while with Jack3d you can get it for around 22-25$ depending on where you shop and around 45 servings which is phenomenal if you are trying to save money on a pre-workout supplement.

Honestly as Justin has been saying about Amino Energy, I REALLY want to test it out now as I am looking for that energy buzz for my workouts lately and not just a tingly feeling, I want something to give me a significant amount of energy, a pump and without any crash which makes it seem like im going for NO Xplode 2.0 or Amino Energy.

Bullnox I heard was to be good but my friend said he took HemoRage and it gave him diarrhea and really bad upset stomachs, also a crash but thats what he told me.

The name HemoRage is a little to close to hemroid for me.

Hahaha well I think that is where the name came from haha, hemroid raging, says it on the back of the bottle

[mrwright]

Muscle pharm is about 20 quid for 25 servings n jack3d about 25+ for 30
i think the bullnox is more focused on testosterone boosting/eastragon blocking
hemorage is suposed to be good but i get some bad stomachs anyway so not gonna risk something thatll make that worse

I'm a bit tolerant to caffeine too, drinking about a half gallon of coffee a day before cutting down & using a PWO supp.

MuscleTech's Neurocore adds other stims on top of the 330 mg of caffeine in a full serving. It still gives me a nice, clean boost of energy and pretty decent focus. Overall, I'd say the effects last about 4 hours with no crash.

I tried Animal Rage last night... again, clean energy, but noticeably less focus. I still found myself thinking about work crap rather than my workout. The energy didn't seem to last as long either, maybe 2 hours or so.

Both worked much better than my old 20oz of coffee 30 minutes or so before my workout. Not sure of the price of Animal Rage, but Neurocore isn't terribly cheap (~$2/serving at it's full 3 scoop dosage). I've got a trial of 1MR that I'm gonna try on Monday (squat day).
