Anabolics: if referring to natty anabolics, then BLR follidrone 2.0 is the best.

This is so subjective. I before all reps post their products. That is the issue with these threads. OP, you should edit it so reps cannot post their products.

Should be interesting though.

Pre workouts-Don't really use that often and usually make my own. Not sure if it was a 2017 release but I did really enjoyed PES' Prolific.
Intra-workouts-Don't use.
Post Workout-I just take protein and creatine post workout.
Protein Flavours-PES Select (Frosted Chocolate Cupcake), Didn't try any other newly released 2017 proteins.
Fat Burners-OL BloodShred War, OL Assass1nate, MuscleGelz AndroShred (Topical)
Anabolics (Assuming Natty)-Nothing newly released in 2017.
Test Boosters-OL Sup3r PCT.

I'm a rep, but I'll post my favorites from other companies. Not a top 3, just products I use and enjoy:

Pre Workouts - Prolific + High Volume
Intra/Post - Glycofuse or Tr1umph
Protein/Flavors - Myprotein (Salted Caramel and Mocha), PES Select Vanilla
Fat Burners - Ignit3, EC Stack
Anabolics - FD2 and X-Gels

Didn't use any test boosters this year aside from Alphamax XT, so I don't have a favorite in that category from 2017

I was just messing with you since BPI gonna BPI (You cant honestly say many of their products are not pixie dusted). I actually liked their protein until they refused to provide the chromadex test results, then I bailed on them.

For the amount of natty anabolics I have ran, logged, or tried. Almost 90% of them have done nothing for me.
Sure my Ultimate T was a good run, but I attribute that more to my diet, training, and consistency. especially coming off a contest prep and being aggressive in my reverse with my calories.

Nutrabio Pre and Intra seem like amazing formulas for covering every base possible and getting everything you need without buying other products, but in your experience do they also package punch? Just out of curiosity?

Found in PES multi too ... can get them at cheap as $12.80 which is a steal

Also in Xtend elite hence my suggestion as it for intra

But BPI is Chromadex verified and is partnered with Chromadex. So i'm at a loss here what your point is. BPI has definitely falsified labels, so have many other companies. I am not saying it is ok, but i applaud companies who clean up their act and make a good effort to be on the correct side of the industry. There are plenty of companies, even big names, who are still frauding on labels. And it would be very, very, hard to find a company outside of a select few who have never defrauded the consumer.

What good is a seal of approval if it doesn't meet label claims? BPI has yet to reveal a 3rd party test to back what is in their product. If you ask their reps they just say "We are working on getting that", but are too busy eating 1,300 calories and talking about the mouthfeel and absorption of their under dosed products.

Until BPI will actually show proof that their stuff does meet label claims it is skeptical to the consumer when they are always on BOGO or very cheap. They are selling the majority of their protein under the cost of what the raw materials take to make the product. That alone is a red flag. If Chromadex was such a safe and secure label program, why do so many other companies not utilize it!? PES has 0 problems providing a 3rd party test with their stuff coming back above what is claimed on the label. Scivation may not be as big as BPI, but 1Fast400 never had an issue showing what is in his products and providing tests. Ghost / Nutrabio has a transparent label showing you exactly how much you get in their product. Kodiak, American Metabolix, MuscleTech Whey gold all provide tests to prove their label accuracy.

BPI is so large could easily they could show their consumers you get exactly what is on their label. To them to run a test like that is literally a donation and chump change, and would put the conusmers mind at ease. Then again most general gym goer's probably don't care about label claims, and buy stuff because it tastes good and is cost effective.

So to be clear, you're saying you do not believe Chromadex is a valid source for testing?

For Pre Workouts, the most completely overall to me would be the Morphogen Alphagen/Volugen combo, the most completely as one pre seems to be Nutrabio Pre Extreme, but the new Ntel Mega Arez that's coming out looks insane so far

Can you please post a lab test showing its results are valid?
BPI has not released one for their protein, and whenever asked they refuse to show.
If they are so "Valid" why do other major companies not partake in Chromadex?
When they can back their claims and seal with their lab tests then I will believe it is a valid source for testing.

The Lotus Leaf and Anti Crash and Anti Adapt, doesn't mean it will be an amazing pre, but it seems different than most.
Do we know what’s in either of those “anti-...” blends? It looks like 1 ingredient in each based on the blurred label I saw. The anti-adapt is probably rhodiola, but I could be wrong. Also, 50mg of Alpha-GPC (100mg of 50%) is very meh, to say the least.

Yes, that's a low dosage, they claim the reason us due to the other two ingredients in that area making up for it and synergizing, we can only wait and see, it does have potential, but I could be wrong, would probably need to mix with a creatine product and this could be a good combo

I’d argue that PEA and Alpha-GPC would more compliment each other, if anything, than actually synergise, but let’s not focus on that point. They do mention the lotus as a potential AChE-I, but I’d wager to say it’s not as potent in this regard as things like huperzine, galantamine, and sage, and people still find that it’s best to use a solid dose of Alpha-GPC with these more proven, and likely more potent, AChE-Is. 250-300mg is the “low” effective dose for Alpha-GPC, with 600mg being a “higher” effective dose. Even if you cut the 250mg in half, you have 125mg. You’d have to half that dose to get near the 50mg they have, and you’d still be 12.5mg short of that 62.5mg. I’m not saying it’s not going to be a decent product, but, personally, I’d write off the 50mg of Alpha-GPC as pretty useless, and definitely not a key factor in the product’s effectiveness or as a major selling point.

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see haha. I don’t think either of their old PWOs had it, so we’ll see about this one. It does look like they could afford to beef-up the doses in their pump blends from their previous PWOs to provide a more well-rounded experience in addition to what seems like solid doses of stims.

Those are pretty solid man. They look a little pricey, but there’s a lot packed in them, so I can understand it. You stack a full dose of each of those?

My PWO stack lately has been HyperMax with an added 750mg potassium nitrate for crazy pumps to go with already solid pumps and great energy, or VasoMax for pumps with NootropiMax added for even more energy and focus. If I’m going for purely a bulk/budget route, I can use 6g l-citrulline, 1g agmatine, 750mg potassium nitrate, and either caffeine powder or some coffee.

I feel like these pre workouts are similar to Hyper and Vaso max, and I love Performax, use Intramax and Oxymax, but I feel that these employ a fuller formula and good for fat loss

All of the products we’re talking about are solid for sure. As for what each person wants and how much they’re willing to pay for it, it’s never a bad thing to have multiple quality options out there haha.

They will. I know the owner. Ben is dedicated to making top notch products. They do good business, they just aren't on the AM boards so you don't hear much. And there are rules against marketing your products if you aren't a sponsor. I told Ben he was getting love on the boards, so who knows if he'll become active on here in the future.
