hey bros, havent been on EF for ages, its good to be back, you guys even changed the layout, looks nice! I took a year off, but now gonna start working out from next week or so, jus a quick question, which are best pre-workouts on the markets nowadays? and if its possible please give a supplement review, cheers bros!
 
ephedrine, caffiene, 1 scoop assault from musclepharm.com and 2 scoops waxy maize. Nothing else i have tried comes close to this. I like the assault because it gives me a good pump but not so bad like some others ive tried that makes it impossible to workout anymore because the pumps get so bad, especially the back pumps. The ephedrine and caffiene give you a ton of quick energy while the wazy maize gives you sustained energy, at least it does for me anyway. Most of the time i dont even use the eph. or caffiene because the assault and WM do such a good job.
 
Ragnarok is one of the most complete PWO formulas on the market, IMO
 
im not that upto date with everything on the us market but i manly use musashi's products but i found black powder to be one of the best i have tryed so far
 
Assault is working VERY well for me at the moment. Killer pumps
 
I really like the amplify02. Killer pumps. I havn't tried anything else. heard shotgun was good also.
It's always fun getting back into training!
 
alrite, here's a some reviews i got it from couple of my mates, hope it help all the newbies, firstly, Millenium sport Ragnarok, which is getting attention from pros and as well as amateurs. here is goes:

REVIEW

Taste: Crushing Punch flavor. With about 4-6 ounces of water, as directed, this stuff tastes pretty decent. At first, I was really enjoying it. It's actually really light, the flavor is tropical and it's smooth with no grit. As I got to the last sip, the flavor got kinda old. I could have added less water though. Overall, the flavor was much better than alot of pre workout supps on the market, not the best, but up in the top ranks for sure. 9/10

Energy: After initially taking Rag, I noticed my body temp going up within about 15 minutes. For some reason I was getting sleepy despite having plenty of sleep the night before but this stuff woke me right up. I thought that I'd crash right in the middle of my workout, but I kept going all the way till the end and then some. Never once felt my heart race out of control nor did I get jittery from caffeine overload. Top honors for Ragnarok in the energy department, comes on strong, smooth and without crashing afterwards. 10/10

Focus: Again, fantastic results. I kept going set after set with minimal rest periods in between. Up until the end, Ragnarok kept me driving consistently through every set and rep. 10/10

Pump: Now this is where Ragnarok shines. Did my chest/tri workout and finished topped it off with some sets of barbell shrugs. While benching, I felt my arms and chest swelling up and towards the end, I was pumped. But it wasn't until I finished my triceps workout that I felt the tremendous pump from Ragnarok. Never had I got a pump in my triceps like this. During my pwo ritual of flexing in front of the mirror, I noticed my arms had swelled up like never before, even rivaling the effects of Animal Pump. Wow, I'm impressed. 10/10

Profile: 10/10 Again, this stuff delivers. Ragnarok has everything you could ask for from a pre workout supplement and then some. Creatine, Beta Alanine, N.O. Complex, Glycerol, Caffeine, and an anti oxidant blend.

Mixability: 10/10 Tiny particles left, but nothing too gritty. Nothing to complain about really. Minimal effort to get it all mixed.

Overall: I must say that I'm really impressed with Millenium's Ragnarok supplement. With an awesome line up of ingredients, this is not a product you should overlook when picking a pre workout supplement. It's also available in a caffeine free version which I really dig. Hopefully, more people will try this stuff out and give it it's due credit for bieng an amazing supplement. 10/10
 
Also a review of NO Shotgun V3, which i have tried and pretty impressed by it.
Taste: 9/10. I have the exotic fruit flavor and it is delicious.

Mixability: 7/10. It mixes fine, but when using a shaker it generates a little bit too much foam. I usually let it sit for a minute or two after shaking it and its a good consistency upon allowing it to sit.

Energy: 10/10. The energy you get from this lives up to Redlines name but its not so intense that you get jittery and get excessive muscle twitches. Also, its as tho the energy is somewhat time released because i rarely crash after taking it.

Strength: 9/10. I mean a preworkout supplement can only do so much in preparing yourself for a grueling workout, but i have gotten some fairly impressive strength gains while on this supplement.

Price: 9/10. It was 35 dollars when i got it because i had a promo code, but still 40 for 28 servings isn't bad. Ive had the tub im currently using for about a month now and theres still a third of it left. Considering i lift 4 days per week that's a very good deal.

Overall: 9/10
 
here's review of animal pump, which i find pretty useful

Cost: 10/10
Big plus for me. if u look on internet you'll find it cheap as 89c per serve. This has everything I wanted and doesn't hurt the wallet.

Convenience: 9/10
Just grab a pak and head out in the morning. No mixing, no mess. I did hate havin to choke down 9 pills/tablets total in one sitting tho . Combine that with my fish oil and multi and I'm talking 129348978 pills a day, give or take a couple thousand

Effectiveness: 9/10
This part is a little tricky. I've been lifting for almost a year and a half, but for the first year I was doing it all wrong. The supplements I was taking then I just assumed didn't work on me, but I believe now this is mostly due to my poor regimine and diet.
I was one of those guys that didn't work out my legs because I only cared out asthetics, aka chest and six pack. Took me forever to figure out why I wasn't gaining weight/getting stronger.

That being said, I finally "figured it out" and have made really good gains the past half a year. This past month I bought Pump, and I have noticed a definite increase in weight gains and strength while using it.

Overall: 9/10
I think Animal Pump really helped increase my effectiveness during this past month. Just got my 2nd month supply, gonna keep goin
 
here's some reviews i got from other forums. hope it helps:
Overall: 9 | Effectiveness: 9 | Value: 9
"This product is great, it will make you "drop some kids in the pool" before you hit the gym. It all depends on how sensitive your stomach is, mine is very sensitive so anything over 1.5 scoops and I'll be "taking the Browns to the Super Bowl". Personally, I love the dizzy or amped up feeling this stuff gives me. It also really wakes me up within 5-7 mins of drinking it = BIG PLUS++ !! I've tried 4 different flavors and I like them all, it's like Kool Aid for the gym. I stack this with SizeOn and just recently added Novadex XT, so far I've put on 6 lbs in 2 months. My friends tell me I've gotten bigger, and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. I may research other products but for now this is my fav. NOexplode made me feel like crap, gave me the craps and some heart palpitations, no thanks. Gaspari is great. Word to big bird."

Overall: 0 | Effectiveness: 3 | Value: 8
"Effective but makes me soil my shorts after drinking it. I was in the gym 2 weeks ago, squatting some weight. I went down with 345lbs and came back up and started to poop my pants. I was already at the gym so I wanted to get my workout in regardless. I worked out for 45 minutes with my underware stuck to my butt. Everyone was looking at me because they could smell it. Hey any hardcore lifter is going to complete his workout regardless and sometimes you got to Man up and do what you don't want to do. Very effective in pumps and strength and it taste awesome (orange) but 10 minutes after drinking this one you better prepare. I might just stay on it because it works so well and pick up some adult diapers just in case. I recommened this one even if it makes you go poop."

Overall: 5 | Effectiveness: 6 | Value: 7
"I have used NO-Xplode and read the glowing reviews of this product and thought I would try it. On a positive note I did not get diarrhea like most. However, I never got the pump and my body got used to the product very quickly. I think there are better products out there with NO-Xplode being one of them."

Overall: 7 | Effectiveness: 8 | Value: 8
Focus = 9 Muscle Gain = 8 Diarrhea = 10 Washroom trips = 10 there are pros and cons to this product, use accordingly.
 
Another Review-SuperCharge Xtreme

8/10 Greater Pump - The pump wasn't as good as some other products but then again I don't really care about a pump in the gym to to much. You could definitely feel it though.

9/10Increased Energy - My energy was very high and didn't really have the jitters from this, which is always a positive. I also never got a crash in the gym.

8/10 Better Focus - My focus was great, I had some really great workouts, felt in the "zone" and that to me is more important then getting a pump. Got that feeling of not wanting to leave the gym, but obviously you gotta at some point because theres only so many exercises and number of sets you can do.

8/10 Delayed fatigue - I could definitely pump out more reps while using the same amount of weight as before then when not using a pre workout mix.

8.5/10 Overall it was an excellent product. I am going to buy it again after I'm done with what I am taking now, I always switch back and forth with products, no idea why it's just a habit of mine.
 
White Flood Review


Taste 8.5/10

Basically for those who have tried V.1 the taste is not the greatest but CL pulled off improving the taste by a long shot, reminds me of GM lemonade but not quite as sweet.

Mixibility 9/10

Mixes much easier and goes down much more smoothly than v.1

Consistancy in Container

NO CLUMPS! Wow I was impressed it was all powder like GM or PW I was very happy to see this!

Effectiveness 10/10

I have used WF now 3 different occasions and it is by FAR! my favorite pump product especially stacked with WB the night before.

Overall 9/10

Highly reccomend to all people who like Stims and a good pump product. CL is a great company and I continue to buy their products monthly

i know most of you don't go to gnc but i stumbled in there about two months ago and bought some M5 by cellucor. im very impressed. tastes good too
 
Bro I've tried most of those now and can Tell you from my experience that most are just marketing and nothing else...waste of money crap!

the only product on that list IMHO that is the real deal is Amplify02...that and lipoflame I can't live without!!!
 
Hypershock! Myogenix has some great products and I like the aftershock for post work even better, plus they have a pic of my buddy on the label.
 
Anybody ever try Nutrex's new Pre WO supplement called Hemo-Rage? Looks like it's got a nice ingredient profile, and I know that Lipo 6 always was a great fat burner.
 
Has anyone tried San V12? The only pre workout mix I have expierence with is Surge workout fuel. It works well but it's spendy, however the price has come down abit. I'm eager to try amp02 with all the positive feedback I've read.
 
OK, so I tried Jack3d to give me a boost on my low carb cutting diet.

Ho...ly...FUCK.

It says 1-3 scoops, so naturally I take 3 :D - Wired like a mad man. I'm going to drop it down to 1.5 scoops to see the effect. I don't like feeling this wired. Feel like I'm gonna get heart palps!
 
2-3 Caps LipoStim3 Plus 5-6 Amplify02

and that will last you 6 weeks of working out
 
Last edited:
I've tried just about everything on the market.from NO shotgun,hypershock,nanovapor,superpump250,amplify 02 and finally jack3d.the only one that I haven't built up a tolerance to is jack3d,I've been taking it for over 4 months now and still get stimulated off of one scoop.everything else the bottom falls out after 2 weeks,but then again I have a seriously high caffeine/stim tolerance.for the price it can't be beat.used to get kickass pumps from amplify 02,but after a few weeks my tolerance became a problem.
 
Hype I guarantee you Nothing will rival 2-3 Caps LipoStim3 plus 5-6 Amplify02

And you will never get "used to it" which is called "attenuation"

Trust me
 
omega that sounds promising but at $54.99 x 2 which is($109.98) that's pretty damn costly,no offense

I do miss the pumps I used to get off of ampliy 02 tho.
and it's hyp as in "hypnotic" not hype..........lol
 
lol its Not 54!

Use Discount code "needto139" to get 15-20% off and ALSO FREE Shipping!

ad PS you will get 32-37 Workouts with More to spare if your stim needs are low

woops :) hype
 
Omega I get 45 servings of jack3d for a total of $31 dollars including shipping and handling.
it only takes one scoop otherwise I wouldn't even mess with it,all other pre workout supps are great at first but then they become ineffective or 'attenuation' is experienced as you would say.you have to continuously do more and more scoops to get the same effect,which increases the cost for use entirely.jack3d is the only product I've taken where this didn't happen,going on 4 months and still working well for me.

I know you have a great product,I loved amplify 02 and used to use it for quite some time,but cost wise I'm satisfied with jack3d.
 
45 servings eh?


then why does it say take 2-3 "servings" on the label?

I am saying take 5 caplets of the NEW amp02 with 2 LipoStim3

when you do the math The 45 'serving' item is about 2$ per real serving where Amp02 + LipoStim = 2;50$ per serving

then compare ingredient matrices and then the actually feel in the gym and you shall see :)
 
The best shit ever and let me tell you I have tried all the shit you have mentioned but nothing comes even remotely close to Ampaghen by chem 33. This shit is like rocket fuel no lie I wouldnt advise taking two capsules of it at one time until you have built a tolerance. The down side is that its very expensive $80 a bottle/60 caps but you realistically only need one capsule until you have built a tolerance.I am also a big fan of NO Shotgun but have fond that stacking the two makes me feel like I am going to have a heart attack.
 
45 servings eh?


then why does it say take 2-3 "servings" on the label?


bro I'm not here to argue.it does say 2 - 3 scoops on the label but that much isn't needed,and a tolerance I have yet to develop on jack3d.if we're going by labels then the same could be said about amplify 02 a bottle taken as directed is only going to last you 20 days per label directions which are -As a dietary supplement, take 6-8 capsules Pre Lifting.I understand you have products to sell,and I'm impressed with amplify 02 and lipostim the overall price running both together not so much at all.
 
if you respond to 1 scoop then you will respond to 1 Cap LipoStim3 + 4-5 New Amp02 caps

I am not trying to "steer" your opinion I only wish to clarify a accurate comparison

Yeah and I like it. It isn't a jittery super high energy supplement it comes on smooth and leaves smooth. No crash. Good solid pumps and sustained energy. NO Exlode would tear me up I would be a bouncing freak in the gym tapping around and dancing hemorage lets me focus on my set. For me it is a good product but i you are looking for something that sends your heart racing then this isn't for you

I love yourproducts but they are a bit on the spendy side, but the quality is all there. I used to be known as the Lipoflame guy because I was popping those. I dropped 40 lbs of Fat on that product over 7 months. I haven't tried the Lipostim yet though I am going to u a cutter real soon so I will check it out
 
just got done using hemo-rage from nutrex usually not to big on pre workouts but really like it. good energy and pump. right now just some black coffee, ce2, bcaa, and some hydro whey does the trick for me!
 
i hate stims. they always have a fast speed like effect then i get tired afterwards. i ind that to be ineffective at anything muscle related.

i have tried super pump, no explode, jack3d, and n2kts. i already new i didnt like stims when i tried n2kts but i threw it in a sample pack just to give that kind o stuff another shot. so here is what happened.

i took 1 scoop 30 mins pre w/o. on my way to the gym i got verry figity and restless. when i got to the gym i just wanted to move weight. the breaks where dreaded and short. when i got home the bomb dropped. i felt like complete shit for a few hours. this is the efect i get rom all of these stims but i dont remember it ever being as extreme as it was with the n2kts. so im going to have to say n2kts for the most potent.
 
Big fan of Superpump, NoXplode, and Jacked. All 3 are good but I think the best one I have used is Superpump. After reading this thread though I may be trying a few others.
 
Currently on M5, the only preworkout I've tried...

Taste is absolutely terrible and gritty, and with one packet I feel nothing, but with 2 packets I do notice a difference in my workouts, both in rep range and general level of fatigue. Usually no jitters or crash, just sustained energy...also seems to have a decent profile.

Anyone know if there are other products out there that implement kre-alkalyn creatine?
 
I am amazed how my liver tests are starting to show negative effects of taking preWO supps.
 
My favorite was the old formula for Super Charge Xtreme N.O. Now they changed the formula and simply call it Super Charge Extreme (without the N.O.).
I found some at a GNC so I stocked up on it after it was replaced with the newer version online. I also think Jack3d is one of the most overrated products on the market.
 
Interesting. I didn't know that pwo supps were bad for your liver. Are you sure that it is the pwo stuff that is causing negative liver effects?

Yep that is the only shit I was taking at the time that would have caused liver issues, my doc is actually pretty smart on gear and stuff of that nature.
 
I like Jack3d anf Hemo Rage....and that's what i switch between jack3d and hemo rage.......No xplode is good but it does give me energy but strength and pump was less so i do not use that now.....



nutrahealthsupply.com
 
Does anyone know of a PWO that doesn't get weaker the longer you use it? I only get about 3 drinks of NOXplode before it goes weaker.
 
amp02 is my fav. ive tried a couple on that list. also n2kts if you prefer powder to pills. those both work awesomely
