Man sports Body Octane and Clout are awesome. I also like Ultima but not so much on the flavoring. I've stacked all of those with Hemavol and had great training sessions.

While I love many non-stim preworkouts for a variety of purposes [like Body Octane and Hemavol for pumps and endurance], from a pure strength perspective I think that MAN Sports Clout is far-and-away the top performer, perhaps followed closely by Omega Sports Ultima.

Is there any close second to clout? Ive actually tried it before and it was hard on my stomach. Think it might've been the beta alanine as they always seem to make me visit the bathroom frequently

PLCAR is a nice stim-free option for physical energy. Ultima comes second to clout for strength

hemavol or ultima....or both stacked together if you're willing to put out the money.

hemavol cant be beat as far as performance (as far as non-stim products go) imo

hemavol, but a pre workout wont give you strength. just energy/pump. your results come from diet and training

Research shows that citrulline malate at 8g increases the strength threshold. Likewise for 600mg Alpha-GPC.

This is not stim-free.

How about MAN body octane?? Really digging the ingredient profile.. Thinking of using it as part of a "hormone" free 4 weeks.. Thinking I need a little detox after this cut I'm on and before gearin up for fall recomp n lean bulk

Ya Body Octane is great as well. I notice more "endurance" like benefits from Cit Mal and Beta Alanine (plus its other goodies) than strength compared to the ingredients in Clout, but as far as stim free Pre-workouts go it is in the upper echelon IMO.

Just get your self Agmatine and take 750mg-1g of it. Trust me even the guys in the dark side use it all the time.

Will body octane illicit an insulin response (I train fasted) so I tend to never use powder/liquid Pre workouts..

I don't see how it would unless there's something in the filler ingredients..

A. It wouldn't matter

B. L-aspartic acid would elicit an insulin response equivalent to a baby carrot

Ultra reps has been my favorite non stim pre workout that i've used, but i haven't used to many....good for endurance and strength that will continue through your workout

^^This^^. Agmatine is becoming more and more popular but it is still greatly underrated, I love the stuff.

What are folks seeing out of agmatine that some of us are not.
I heard great reviews from some people (as far as pumps) & others who don't seem to get too much out of it...

I just felt full and jacked especially when doing 5x5 due to the sarcoplasmic volume of the tissues

So it wouldn't be breaking a fast? (body octane)

While on the subject, do u know if test powder will break a fast? I'm so wary to take ANY liquid/powder Pre workouts

Why? It shouldn't really be a concern. Are you following Berkhan's IF protocol? Taking a pre-workout will not impede your results by breaking your fast. There is an uncanny fear of insulin over the last few years that I thought was dying down, apparently not.

Physiologically speaking, no it wouldn't break the fast. It doesn't matter, regardless. Your fear of taking preworkouts is unfounded. Test powder is fine...the agmatine exerts hypoglycemic action anyway.

This. The "fast" is meaningless unless you are diabetic.

Have you done a full month of it?
I tried dosing the PES sister brand SS, doing 1500g a day. That was roughly a month. Tried hemavol a few times as well, haven't seen much from it. So I think either I have to dose agmatine really high or it just does not effect me.

Could be a non responder but you could also be expecting to much.

The effects I noticed for me took about a month and a half to build up. I don't really get a pump from it tho.

That could be 100% right too... Maybe I'm not a newbie anymore those pump days are gone haha...
Trying to look like my avi pic and that's a long shot!

Just a fullness... Got it. Guess they say that's why hemavol gets better with use.

The last reason why I bought agamatine was for the pumps more so the health benefits
