    Evening pre-workout that won't screw with my sleep 2-3 hours l8r?


    With work and family life, I can't workout until later in the evening. That also means I must go to be 2-3 hours after I start.

    I think I've been consuming way too much caffeine, I'm waking up dead tired despite having 7-8 hours sleep. I've been falling into the cycle of needing it to get through the day, and for any chance of getting a workout in. But I'm drinking 700mg+ a day, and a lot past 3PM, so it's probably messing with my sleep. I'm going to try to cut that back to 200-300 mg.

    Right now I'm taking Anadraulic State GT, but my tolerance to caffeine must be high, because if I only take 1 or 2 scoops of that I feel like I can go to bed afterward. I weigh 170.

    I used to use BodyForge by Neogenix when I worked out late at night.

    I will reccomend HEMAVOL, being its stim free and the pump i get off of it is awesome..

    Focus XT Stim Free seems to get good reviews

    .They are different..One is nootropics and the other is for pumps,so find which will fit u best.

    A non-stim is a good choice..

    If you are needing a burst of energy then I suggest...

    I would reccomend Hemavol and maybe Caffiene Free Focus XT. Whatever the case it seems you need to cycle off stims for a bit. Drinkin these before you lift, although not stimmed, could likely give the same psychological effect letting your body know its time to perk up and that some clanging and banging is soon to follow

    Stimulant-free Focus XT. Plus, it may enhance GH release and give you vivid dreams if you take it near bed

    Hemavol IMO.. hands down one of the best non-stim pre-workouts available with tons of great solid reviews. Vasodilates plus increases plasma volumes, can't get much better.

    Already some good suggestions going on in here, so I'll just toss out a couple I like as well.

    Protocol, Ultima, Hemavol and Clout are all great and what I typically use at different times.

    well since youre gonna have to avoid stims, its gonna be almost pointless to even take one. if you want a pump still, just buy bulk agmatine and eat some carbs with it an hour before working out. no need to spend money on these stim free preworkouts since a pump is all youre really looking for

    Many of the stim free products now provide actual performance benefits beyond just a pump. Definitely not pointless.

    are you refering to the combination of citruline malate, agmatine, creatine, beta alanine, and bcaas that all stim frees have in common? 2 of which are for pumps, 2 of which are useless unless saturated, and one is useless unless training fasted, which he wouldnt be doing at night.

    Also too much vaso without stims = tired and huge decrease in performance.

    lolI need explanations on how "BCAA are useless unless training fasted".Because a guy said so on his own website ?You think having elevated creatine content in the muscle but below "saturation" is useless ?

    Citrulline Malate and Agmatine provide benefits beyond "pumps". I also didn't mention any BCAA product. Maybe these products aren't for you but there are plenty of other ingredients in the products I mentioned and others mentioned that do more than just provide pumps.
