best preworkout mental focus wise

I havent taken a pre workout in a couple years. I want to start taking one, I have enough energy, im just looking for a mental boost i guess. any good suggestions on a pre workout for this purpose.
 
To clarify, you are looking specifically for a stimulant-free preworkout that helps with focus, a preworkout with stims geared towards focus, or either one is ok? Conquer is supposed to be good for focus and mind/muscle connection (I'll let you know when I try it ...if my order from October shows up...), and focus xt is supposed to be good as well. Both have stims, though.
 
if you want a non stim product that works well for pumps I suggest you try hemavol or potassium nitrates (not really for focus). if stims are ok you might actually enjoy conquer as its fairly versatile with the dosing. 1-2 scoops depending on the amount of stims u want to have. good focus.

I am really psyched for my conquer to show up. I am hearing great things.
 
Our preworkout is aptly named Focus XT, and is great for focus.

It's also available with and without caffeine if you're trying to go easy on the stims.

I'm a big fan of the Cotton Candy and Pink Lemonade flavors, lots of other people enjoy the Blue Raspberry.

It's also fully dosed with one scoop and at pretty rock bottom pricing. You can generally buy focus XT and a couple of other mix & matched bulk powders of your choosing to create a flexible customized preworkout at a price that beats many other products on the market.
 
For great focus there's our PWO Fitmax Invalid Link Removed.
Quite a few logs right now with users reporting tunnel vision focus and good energy to keep em going through tough sessions! Let me know if you had any questions about Fitmax

Must say that one scoop of Caffeine Free Focus XT with a scoop of PNI Prodigy is easily the best combo of anything I have ever tried. Prodigy was damn good by itself but adding Focus xt just set it on another level. Whatever pre you settle on, I suggest adding caffeine free Focus Xt to it. It truly makes a difference
 
Here is a recent review from the Product Review section for Fitmax! Definitely sounds like what your looking for!

this product delivers intense focus with workouts. no stim to think of that i saw or felt. when i got on an exercise i was all in the moment nothing short of an explosion could have distracted me. so if you are looking to keep on track of what you are doing use Fitmax it delivers

Focus XT is hard to beat when that's your sole criteria. Very affordable as well.

Check out all the flavours too. I'm a huge Pina Colada and Pink lemonade fan
 
BIg fan of Conquer for the energy and focus.
 
I add caffeine free focus xt to every pre I take. I cycle Ans Performance Ritual, PES Enhanced, and PNI Prodigy. The additional focus is exceptional

FXT stacked with any of those would be awesome. I love Enhanced + FXT stacked. I hope PES make another pre that works so well with FXT.

Ritual is pretty prime. Focus xt has been the best product for focus and mental performance that I have taken. Ritual is great for long lasting energy and endurance.
 
Caffeine free FocusXT would be a great choice for a non-stim focus heavy pwo. If you want something with a mild stim effect (just a little caffeine) check out our Volatile and you can stack it with caffeine free FocusXT for the best in energy, enducrance, focus and pumps

You won't be disappointed. My favorite flavor by far is pina colada.
 
Alphamine I love using preworkout I usually dose it with my ALCAR. Works great on my cardio days for energy and drive. Also like people said Focus Xt is awesome big fan of their cotton candy. None stim wise look into Neogenix Bodyforge 2 it's a favorite of mine.
 
Enhanced was the best preworkout I ever used. I just picked up conquer until PES comes back with something and I have to say it is pretty good. Hard to give a good review after one workout. My biggest complaint is I have no idea how much of anything is in it. I don't like that and would probably keep me from buying it again.

Yes lol. I do cycle it :D, so maybe I should have said, all day err day for 4 weeks then after a mandatory break, all day err day for another 4 weeks.
 
Definitely Focus XT is very good.

I really enjoyed the focus I got from Purus Labs Condense, it really surprised me how focused I was in the gym.

My vote over all would be, Volatile (low-medium stim pre workout, great pumps, and great product) mixed with Focus XT. you will get best of both worlds. Caffeine in moderate amounts also help with focus.
 
Since there seems to be a few Focus XT experts in here, I was wondering if someone could answer a question I have with regard to its use. Most recommend that it be taken on an empty stomach. However, wouldn't that make the vinpocetine in it worthless since its absorption is very low on an empty stomach? If Focus XT is taken with food, then wouldn't that reduce the benefits of L-Tyrosine since it would be competing against other amino acids in your meal? I'm sure there's probably something I'm overlooking (or not familliar with), so any information would be appreciated.
 
since this just got revived, thank everyone for the recommendations on focus xt im loving it! and to the post above, ive been taking it about 15-20 minutes after my preworkout meal (breakfast) right before i head to the gym. its been working for me
 
For those who havent tried Metabolic Bioshock yet, its not Craze like in focus but the energy is super clean and dialed in. Just finished my first tub and am absolutely going back for a second. All of those close to me Ive recommended it to have been pleased as well, which is rare with pres, people often have different experiences with them, feel they dont live up to the hype, etc.
 
Things that got me "locked in" the most during my workouts were the late Enhanced and SpeedX3. Crazzzzzy laser focus with both of those.

I take it with food as its the alcar,choline and hup a that I really use it for.

Just out of curiosity, would taking it with something like almond milk allow you to get the benefits of each ingredient since it provides calories and fat (to help with absorbing the vinpocetine) but very little protein (which reduces the potential for the L-tyrosine competing against other amino acids)?
 
Focus XT has always been my favorite. Nice energy of course from the 200mg of caffeine, but the acute (and more importantly, prolonged) effects on focus and mind-muscle connection are superb.

That option is viable for sure :D dose with b6 (p5p) or folic acid to enhance absorption.

I know there are multiple amino acid transporters but I am not versed enough on them to tell whether or not there is competition.

Curious though, if consuming something as a whole protein (i.e. a meal then consuming FXT) would impact L-Tyrosine absorption considering that is already in amino form whereas the protein would have to be cleaved before releasing amino acids into the blood stream and competing for absorption.

I.e. L-tyrosine would already be absorbed before the protein from the meal impacted absorption; or is my guess off base?

You make a very good point. Maybe that's the key to taking it such that all the ingrediants are utilized. As you mentioned, if it's taken immediately after a meal then that might be too soon to affect l-tyosine absorption but would also provide food to optimize vinpocetine absorption. That sounds like a good plan to me but my knowledge on the matter is insufficient to say whether that would really work or not.

Likewise. This may be a question for Synapsin or @De_eb
