<p>I've laboured through the last six weeks without it, but I heading into a busy month and I want the energy burst to keep exercising through it.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>So any suggestions for replacements?</p> -

<p>I like Super pump max - JK sent me some samples of different kinds and that was the best for me. Seems like there is a lot of variation between what works for different people.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>I'm sticking to detonate at the moment - good mix of stim for the gym and fat burning. lol, Jesse styles!!</p> -
Kirwan, I have 3 on the go right now (musclepharm assault, BSN hyperFX and gaspari superdrive)<br><br>
PM me your address and I will send you a single serve of each.<br><br>
Posting from my phone so will post up a few links and recomendations later but recommend trying these first and seeing if you like them rather than taking a punt as some pre workouts work better than others for different people. -
Curse use to be good before it was reformulated and DMAA removed. Pretty weak nowadays. <br><br><br>
Anyone see the story on pre workouts on 3rd degree tonight? Had the usual media slant on it of course but the reporter girl purchased 3 pre workouts being craze, detonate (both known to include class c amphetamines - refer Jesse Ryder incident and others) and also nar labs xspeed which contains DMAA. Got them all tested and sure enough "shocking" results.<br><br>
Funniest bit was that the reporter girl tried some for herself and took two scoops of craze and then did cardio session with a PT. Firstly she wasn't overly fit and wasn't a regular gym goer but secondly she took two scoops of craze for first time using a pre workout vs the recommended 1/2 to 1 scoop for craze. Asking for trouble! No wonder she couldn't handle it. -
<p>Yeah I saw a clip of that 'report' - love how they ignore the instructions and then have a whinge about the outcome. If you were a gym newbie and unfit why on earth would you OD on pre-workout and expect a good result! </p>

<p>Sensationalism aside though the fact remains that these products contain undeclared substances. If you are happy to take amphetamines then fine, but if you don't want to you should at least be given that knowledge to work with.</p>
<p>I take your point about the reporter's testing but isn't it a bit gung-ho to put the problem down to 'couldn't handle it'.</p>
<p>I don't take these things personally but my sons does. He also tries hard to keep abreast of products and what they contain aside from the listed ingredients and is very fit. Even with that knowledge (and taking recommended doses or less) he was suffering from bouts of 'crashing' and feeling really tired which disrupted sleep patterns etc. In the end he stopped using them as it was likely to be an amphetamine crash.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>I'm not suggesting they shouldn't be taken if you have no side effects, but the main point of that TV story still holds up in that you should be able to tell what you are taking from the labelling and testing.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>I'd also be pretty pissed off if I lost my job though inadvertent drug use.</p> -
<p>Fully agree about the issue of non-listed ingredients Crucial. If they'd made that the focus it could have been a good piece to watch - and highly topical given issues with party pills and the legislation around them. Food, drink or supplements (of any kind) should be clearly labelled so we know what we are eating/taking.</p>

<p>I don't think JK was taking the gung-ho stance - more like a facepalm about the reporter not following the clear instructions on the product... especially for people who are new to pre-workout products. They chose to purposely abuse the product and then make a big deal about how 'spaced out' she was. Wonder if the workout alone would have had her spinning...</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>As usual the efforts to sensationalise the report just made it seem lame and poorly planned (imo).</p> -
<p>That's just the beta alanine MN5. Its not a bad thing.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>And yeah wasn't trying to take a gung ho stance, just really puzzled why someone would take double to recommended dose as a test of the product. If a user doesnt read the directions to start off with 1/2 to 1 serving then its unlikely they were read the ingredients either. Agree it would be shit house to get pulled up or lose a job due to coming up positive for a substance you never knew you were using. That simply isn't on and its exactly what happened to Jesse Ryder.</p>
