So I haven't been keeping myself informed about pre workouts lately. Picked up mesomorph couple months back, the energy and focus, amazing. But sadly the 1,3 dmaa was making me crash. What are the best pre workouts atm?

I would try the new hypermax Xt. No crash great energy. If you're looking for Dmaa alternative think this will fit the
bill.

Meso is great but yeah it's up there with the stims and you can experience a crash. If you want something that is still high stim with no DMAA, check out Max Out. Great focus and pumps, 400mg caffeine per scoop.

The new HyperMax XT provides nice clean stim, insane focus, great pump, and you only need 1 serving.

Shoot me a pm if you would like to try it.

As a Controlled Labs rep I have to say I really think you would enjoy either our White Flood (more stim) or White Rapids (more pump). They taste and mix great, are cheaper than most pres, and I truly love them on a regular basis. White Rapids is one of my favorite pres in the game. Always a good decision.

OL, USPLABS and Performax are all pretty legit companies worth a look too in my humble opinion.

Im using the new HyperMax XT and loving it. Lots of clean energy, a great pump, and no crash for me.

I have some DMAA powder, but haven't found any need to add it to HyperMax XT at all. It's a pretty complete formula IMO, and I enjoy the taste (watermelon).

I can't use Hypermax because of the yohimbine. But I appreciate that the Creamax has amentoflavone in it. Pretty unique!

Another vote for Conquer Unleashed. Flavoring is okay but the effects are perfect. Very solid stim punch without the cracked out feels. Also nice mood enhancement and increased pumps, vascularity, and performance. A very well-rounded PWO.

The stim free version also kicks ass;).

I'm a fan of Focus XT with ephedrine or Komodo Katana. Been doing 1/2 scoop katana and 1/2 scoop OG Gameday with 12.5mg Ephedrine and it kicks ass. Sometimes I'll do focus XT instead of ephedrine.

Oh I forgot about the Amplified edition! Yes that is a very solid pre for sure; it's been a minute since I've used that one.

A whole scoop is stupid strong.... like talking to other sober folks think you're high on drugs strong.

Half Scoop IS Money WITH A Non STIM blend.

Both the original Hypermax XT and the new V2 both contain Eria Jarensis. I am a huge fan of the intense focus and increase in mood I get from the ingredient. The focus reminds me of how I feel using 1,3 but less jittery and no crash.

The new Hypermax XT would be a great option to look into

I like Plazma by Biotest (no stims) and a nice 16 oz black coffee.

I've noticed too much caffeine, and in it's anhydrous form, gives me a bit anxiety.

I don't suppose you could post the ingredient panel, the one I have access to I can't tell if it's v1 or v2 !

The easiest way to tell if its the OG Hypermax XT or the new version is to look at the serving size in grams. The old version was an 8.2g scoop, and the latest and greatest version is 13.9g. With the new Hypermax XT all you need is 1 scoop and you're set

Sorry to hear you didn't respond well to DMAA, but that's the drawback with stims for some people.

Outside of Mesomorph, some other higher stim pre's that I'd recommend are:

Max Out
White Rapids
Conqu3r Unleashed
PPK

Have to go with the new HyperMax XT. Feedback has been great so far. It was reformulated to make it a true one scoop product. A single scoop provides enough energy and focus for anyone, even those that love high stims, while helping users achieve a nice pump. Here is some feedback on it so far:

Pros:

- Amazing strength
- Awesome endurance
- Insane drive
- Amazing pumps
Energy:
I am a self proclaimed stim junkie. When I drink coffee I drink it by the pot. My normal preworkout has been Mr. Hyde by ProSupps which has, off the top of my head, around 420mg of caffeine per scoop plus some other stims. I think this stuff actually surpassed the energy I am used to in a really good way. It was a nice clean energy. Not jittery or cracked out at all. I loved it!

Focus:
I was very focused with this stuff. Tunnel vission. Again, this tops the list for enhanced focus for me and I've tried probably 20 different pre workouts.

Pumps:
Pumps were there. Don't know what else to say about that. Same or better effects than most other preworkouts.

Overall:
I absolutely loved this stuff! I will definitely be buying more of it and I can recommend that if you like high stim preworkouts, you will probably love this stuff too!
Today's workout was Heavy Push, and Hypermax XT did not disappoint. I only got ~4 hours of sleep last night, and I still had an amazing session. Again, I almost couldn't wait in-between sets. I just wanted to keep going, and going. The energy and endurance from this stuff is nuts. I finished my workout ~15 minutes earlier than normal. Insane.

honestly my preworkout, cheap and effective:
2g taurine
3g creatine
100-300mg caff or a cup of strong green tea or a coffee
all mixed in a light protein drink or with some bcaa's mixed in water or juice.
CIA for extra pump sometimes (cialis)

i remember liking focusXT though and also the e-911 from lg in past but i rarely use stims now and alot of the time dont even add the cup of green tea or coffee

http://mindandmuscle.net/articles/product/aps-mesomorph-v2-0-preworkout/

Mesomorph has 2 versions this version ( Version 2 ) without DMAA could be well worth picking up and trying since you mentioned like it they do have that version which is pretty great and shouldn't cause the same crash you experienced with the 1,3.


http://mindandmuscle.net/articles/product/iforce-nutrition-max-out/

Max Out by iForce another great option and love the addition of the nitrates

Rainbow sherbet and the blueberry pom were my favorites from Max Out but I have not had the newer candy green apple


Couple other favorites without DMAA for me

BSL Dust V2
Metabolic Nutritions ESP
Finnaflex Stimul8

So you're upping doses of current ingredients or adding new ones as well?

Color me intrigued either way.

Hah! Nice. Looking forward to it.

OP: I am not a huge DMAA fan either. If you crashed from Meso, I'd echo the sentiments of others in here: Try Olympus Labs Conqu3r Unleashed or Performax Labs Hypermax XT. Both have been amazing for me, providing better focus/euphoria than more standard PWO's, but without the jitters or the crash. The latest Hypermax XT in particular, has become my new favorite. I am eager to see if the new extract(s) in Conqu3r can top it.

If you want to play it totally safe and still get a great workout, White Rapids and Max Out are also solid options, though 400mg of caffeine in Max Out should be approached carefully if you're stim-sensitive. I have only used the 300mg version.

It has been a long time since I tried that. Tbh, though, I wasn't impressed. Maybe I will have to try again. Conqu3r is badass, though

I thought Krushed Kandy tasted just fine. Maybe I'm weird, but I like it when I can taste a little of the actives. Makes me feel like I'm taking something that's gonna work.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I don't need or even want my Pre-Workout to taste like liquefied jolly ranchers. This either means the company didn't use a hefty dose of actives, or they did and put in a crazy amount of artificial flavoring to mask it to the point of tasting like kool-aid. I'm not saying artificial flavoring/sweeteners are horrible for us or anything, but I'd personally prefer to limit my intake, especially considering most of us consume more of them than the average person, what with all our protein powders/bars/etc.

Anyway, just one man's opinion.

Yea. IIRC, if it's "banned" by the FDA, the DoD doesn't allow it, but I don't know if it could actually get you in trouble. I'm sure someone in the service will be able to tell us definitively.
