Pre-Work Out Supplements: What are you taking?

[Cat]

I need a new pre-workout supp. What do you recommend? I want to try a new one

I've used:

Energy and Endurance by Beachbody

Assault 

C4- been taking this one for a long time and something is off about it, might have gotten a bad batch.

I don't like preworkouts with stimulants, they do something weird to me. I like iforce's hemavol. But if you like the stimulant jolt, it isn't for you.

It's easy to build up a tolerance to brands after a few weeks and good to switch around. I have used 15 or so different brands over the years. Used C4 most recently for a couple of months and fizzled out on it. Went to ENGN Shred by EVL and the stuff was a huge jump start and I highly recommend giving it a try.  The reviews on it are great and I agree with all that is said. They make a non "Shred" version if that is not what you are looking for that is a bit cheaper.

They do something weird to everyone. Can't be good for you, but once you start on them it's hard not to use.

Not to mention some of these companies get caught putting "meth like substances" in their products. Whoopsie!

I've considered skipping them but it's apart of my routine. I've formed a habit, take the supp and workout. I'm kind of freaked out to mess around with what I know works.

The stuff is terribly bad for you. Jase is right with his "meth" statement. If you don't need it, don't take it.

I just might.

If you don't mind paying a bit more, there are some healthier alternatives. You can do some Google research but here is an organic, plant based pre workout that I have considered with none of the Walter White components:

Don't take them and agree with what others have already stated regarding their overall safety/necessity.  Drop it if you can.  Now post-workout nutrition/supplements, that I'm on board with...

Been using Legion Pulse for about 6months no complaints not overly loaded with caffeine, so there’s not a hard crash, and the energy is smooth. It has a max hit of Beta Alanine in it which could be a turn off to some people if you’re not use to or don’t like the “Tingles”  

It was #1 on Labdoor a while back not sure if it still is.

I like it cause it’s clean and doesn’t have a bunch of artificial sh*t in it like Ace-K.

I need to find one with very low carbs. I'm about to transition to adding muscle here fairly soon.
