Favorite Preworkout ingredients

[polarcat]

Not favorite preworkout products, but let's share our specific favorite preworkout ingredients and why.

Potentially going to switch to bulk powders and homemade preworkout so I wanna know what everyone likes.

For example, I like yohimbe because I like the sweats. This could be a pretty nice educational thread. Thanks!

 

[rowz4broz]

1,3 Dimethyl for obvious reasons
Pikatropin for that tunnel vision
Caffeine for the boost
Citrulline/Agmatine for the pump
Beta Alanine cause the tingles r the best
if i think of more ill add but this is all thats coming to mind currenetly

 

[deanX]

Interesting topic, subscribing..

 

[Br1ck_Sh1thouse]

Potassium nitrate for the pump
Just started experimenting with celery seed extract for the pump as well.

 

[S.Dedication]

Not a bad idea, I may try this myself, if it's cost effective

 

[Br1ck_Sh1thouse]

A while back I started a very similar thread cause I'm keto and off the shelf pwo's aren't all that good when carbs are super low. I'll have to go back and find it to link it here.

 

[machinehead]

Ephedrine and Vitargo, plus cold brew coffee concentrate if training in the am.

 

[theatb]

DMHA + Eria Jarensis

 

[S.Dedication]

I second Eria Jarensis

 

[Robert5891]

Potassium nitrate and citrulline for pumps and performance benefits.

Caffeine for energy
Alpha gpc for focus

 

[john.patterson]

Caffeine to wake me up.
Eria Jarensis to keep me focused.
Nitrates and agmatine for a pump.

 

[danielmoo]

Arginine Silicate, L-Tyrosine

 

[mrhankey87]

Citrulline
Soy lecithin/PA

 

[vujade]

SNS Agmatine XT
SNS Focus XT
Ephedrine

 

[carguy123]

I think it really depends on what your goal is and what you expect out of a pre workout.

Personally, give me some stims and noots and I am good to go. I usually hit the gym in the evening around 7pm after getting up at 5am, working a 10+ hour day and all that other jazz. I just need something to give me that end of the day boost in energy and focus.
Im in my 30s and really could care less about pump anymore. Doing the typical bro split bb routine so endurance is not a huge issue for me either.

 

[ryane87]

SNS COP because it helps my strength endurance.

SNS Agmatine XT because it helps with pumps and has some nutrient shuttling properties.

SNS Creatine Monohydrate because it's high quality, very reasonably priced, and it's the most scientifically proven supplement out there

 

[BlackTiger22]

hydromax
alpha gpc
elevatp
nitrates
silicitate bonded arginine/citrulline
j. regia eria .j dmha dmaa

 

[AntM1564]

Eria Jarensis - I love the euphoric feeling it provides me. HyperMax XT and Conquered Unleashed
AMP - Older HyperMax - Long lasting energy with no crash
LCLT - recovery
Nitrates - Amazing pumps - VasoMax and High Volume (my two favorite)
Alpha GPC - good focus and can increase performance

Athletes for whom strength or speed is important can boost their chance of success by taking 600 mg alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine [abbreviated to alpha-GPC] for six days before a competition. Sports scientists at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in the US discovered that this results in a three-percent increase in strength.

[cobri66]

Betaine anhydrous

 

[polarcat]

Anyone else?

 

[NurseGray]

Top Three

DMAA
Caffeine
Beta Alanine

 

[Piledahlaren]

Amp Citrate
Agmatine
Norvaline

 

[justhere4comm]

Caffeine
For a kick start and burst of energy to get you going. A kicker.

Eria Jarensis
Double up on that Euphoric feeling and lasting energy.

Noopept
Helps with fatigue, and improves cognition.

DMAA
A neurological stimulant that delivers explosive energy for the duration of your workout.

Agmatine
Nitric Oxid Production.

L-Citrulline Malate
Arginine boosts nitric oxide blood levels, and improve endurance.

Beta Alanine
I like it for the tingles, but there is scientific proof it helps during one's workout.

 

[hsk]

This is my DIY combo with everything bought in bulk:

Caffeine - energy, focus
Green Tea Extract - energy, focus, thermo,
Forskolin - fat loss
Noopept - energy, focus, nootropic
Citicoline/CDP-Choline - energy, focus, nootropic
Agmatine Sulfate - endurance, pump, blood flow, nootropic, gda
L-Citrulline - endurance, pump, blood flow, waste removal
BCAA 2:1:1 - energy, muscle sparing

 

[BentBarbell]

Glycerol, aakg, citrulline, ornithine and norvaline. All about the pump.

I haven't tried the nitrates. Good?

Nitrates are incredibly good for improving pumps, vasodilation, and performance! One of my favorites to use.

You can get iForce Potassium Nitrate caps to try on its own and witness how well it works.

I'd drop the AAKG though...it's not a great NO boosting ingredient compared to all the other superior options available.

 

[pbandy1]

Probably coffee, ALCAR, NALT, cdp-choline, citrulline malate, creatine

 

[polarcat]

Infinergy?? What's that? Can't be the tpu plastic that I'm finding when googling....

Add caffeine after Infinergy when searching and you will get some better results.

Infinergy™ (DiCaffeine Malate) is the latest addition to our Malate Series™, Infinergy™ represents a precise combination of Caffeine and Malic Acid into an ionic bonded compound. By combining the well-established properties of Caffeine and Malic Acid, Infinergy™ offers a multi-dimensional ingredient that not only optimizes energy levels, but also stimulates thermogenesis while promoting mental focus.

Where can you find infinergy and nitrosigine to buy in bulk? Hate buying premade supps but wanna add these two ingredients

I can't seem to find either one available in bulk..

 

[Barca1323]

Hmm.. I've found the nitrosigine as a single ingredient but I wouldn't say bulk. Bag only has like 15 servings in it so not enough to call that "bulk"

 

[Ricky10]

Haha..

Personally, I would be more interested in Infinergy in bulk. I actually wish more companies would utilize it much more often it in fat burners and PWO's. It really does seem to provide a more enjoyable and extended stim experience than plain old caffeine anhydrous. Companies need to start keeping up with the newer ingredients and actually use them!

I was able to find one place that sells Dicaffeine Malate (100g for 14.99) also a quick goggle search found 100g of pure caffeine for 6.50. While that may not look like a whole lot thats a huge difference in price/serving. Issue with newer less common ingredients is they typically cost substanicially more hence why most companies avoid/pixie dust them, all about that profit. Just my $0.02

Cool...nice to know it's out there if I actually decide to buy some down the road.

Yes, you are correct about the cost factor for companies. Inspired Nutraceuticals Seems to be a fan of it though. They have it in both of their pre-workouts as well as their fat burner which so happens to look like a kick ass mood booster if I ever saw one!

It was kinda hard to find and very sparce, I give you that haha. I have noticed that once a company finds a ingredient(s) they like(see this alot with stims) they tend to stick with it and propagate it through as much of their product as they can. I am sure this another measure to cut costs and most likely manufacting also. Ran a few tubs of Inspired Dvst8 and enjoyed it. However after my 2nd or 3rd tub it just never hit me the same again. Literally took 2 months off and it still didnt feel like much. Who knows

 

[mbonheur]

I switched to bulk powders. I bought some Kigelia Africana, Synephrine, Higenamine and I mix it with caffeine, CM, TMG and ALCAR. I really prefer it that way now

 

[thebigt]

I use a good quality pre-workout and add to it, my 3 favorites are:

BA
Viagra + vit c....I get 12 100mg pills monthly, a 100mg split into 4ths is sufficient!!! lol, I have about 30 leftovers!!!
bronkaid
