I noticed on this forum people are more into products that work vs just hoping on the band wagon like other forums on the net. I take more than a few supplements I admit it. I will share with you what has worked for me no hype no B/S... I'm not taking all of these currently I switch back and forth, lol but just throwing out there the ones I feel are worth buying. I have used a crap load of product and sharing what I think is the best.
PRE WORKOUT PRODUCTS
USPlabs Jack3d... I like the price on this product and you get a fair amount of servings (45) I do 1.5 scoops about 20 minutes before lifting. It seems to help alot with endurance and letting me get in those few extra reps, also gives me good focus. Strength is improved. I actually don't mind the lemonade flavor either, it's not the best tasting pre workout I ever had but it's not bad at all.
Controlled Labs White Flood... This is a great pre workout product, it's one of the few that has no creatine in it which I like. If you want to go off creatine/or get bloated from it or whatever reason you don't want creatine you have options with this product. The formula is very good and dosed nicely and I get pretty jacked up on this stuff. I get pretty good pumps, energy, endurance while on it. The Electric Lemonade flavor is pretty good and don't much for the White Raspberry. Oh and it's 50 servings
Universal Shock Therapy... I would have to say this is one of my all time favorites, I been using Shock Therapy way back when I first started lifting (2005) and today it's still one of the best pre workouts on the market. This has to be the best value out there. While on it I noticed pretty nice strength increases more than any other pre workout I have tried, the pumps are very good and this stuff puts me in the zone the focus is very decent not as good as white Flood but close. This stuff never let me down and I have had some of my best lifts thanks to Shock Therapy. Overall this is good as it gets. I don't care if it's not hyped to death Universal got this one right. Fruit Punch and Blue Raspberry are pretty good. Stay away from grape.
Gaspari Superpump250... I like the way this stuff taste, Fruit Punch blast, Orange, Grape are very good. The Blue Raspberry was good for awhile but the flavor gets old quick and it's to sweet. I haven't tried any other flavors. I'm interestd in the Lemon flavor but afraid to take a chance on it in case it sucks. I seem to go through this product quicker than the ones listed above, it does give me a pretty sick pump It's one of the best in this department but not bounds and leaps better. The stuff works bottom line. I don't think it's the best by any means and it's not the best value either I don't feel like it's worth the price. I buy it from time to time because it taste great and it gets the job done. I wish they could offer more servings like get it up to 50 like BSN did with no xplode. If you're looking for something different to use once in awhile and want to treat yourself get some SP250.
CREATINE PRODUCTS
BSN Cellmass... I really like this, the fruit punch flavor is very good it's the only flavor I buy. I haven't tried the other flavors they very well could be good. Cellmass really helps me out with recovery better than any other creatine I have used. I think this has a very good delivery system or something?? BSN knew what they were doing. It's priced decent considering you get 50 servings, I don't do the 2 servings a day recommended on the label, I do one heaping scoop post workout and it gets the job done. I have tried many others Sizeon V1, Storm, Green Magnitude and they just didn't work like Cellmass. I will give some props the other companies I mentioned make better pre workouts than No XPlode but I think Cellmass is superior in the creatine department. I don't use any other BSN product besides Cellmass.
MAN Sports Orotine... This is a plain white powder/no flavor and it's like powdered sugar it's messy. I don't believe MAN sports make the powder version anymore it's capsules now. I have only used the powder version. The recovery on this stuff is very good almost as good as Cellmass. I don't hear much about this product it's very underrated and It's one of the best creatines I used. I still want to try Body Octane and Clout someday I hear they are off the hook, a little pricey but suppose to work very well and be high quality stuff.
HARDCORE
Fast Action S-drol... Probably doesn't do me much good reviewing a product out of production from a company that is no longer around. This is one of the most effective products as far as P/H goes that I have used to date. Crazy strength gains while cutting/ yes that is right. I could do way more reps on this with heavier weights. Caused me some rage/I would get pissed off pretty easy and I felt very confident on it almost like a Lion. It's pretty harsh and you gotta know what in the hell you are doing as far as protecting the liver and using proper PCT at the end. All and all I will miss this product.
EST methyl Vol... This is like S-drol it's a Superdrol clone with goodies in it that support pumps, liver protection. The strength gains weren't as good as the S-drol but they weren't to far behind it and I like the extras in this one. I actually got hella pumped up on it and pretty much the same effect as the S-drol. One of the best out there.
EST... Methyl E.... Not as strong as S-drol but alot stronger than compounds like H-Drol, Bold200, Tren. This is pretty hardcore and a Havoc clone. You never heard much about methyl e it wasn't popular like Havoc and Epistane and I never used those other products to really judge which is better. I just know Methyl E worked very well for me. it's very well rounded, added nice strength gains and one of the best compounds on these type of products out there. The sides were low to moderate.
KiloSports Trenadrol... Forget about it, lol I put up more weight on this stuff than any other P/H.. The sides were very high, you had to pre load hawthorn berry before using it, it really raised blood pressure alot without the Hawthorn. It didn't give me rep endurance, but gave me that 1-3 rep strength. I gained alot of weight on this product alot of it was muscle and alot of it was fat. I was a beast on it.
PROTEIN POWDERS
Optimum Pro-Complex... Rocky road flavor is fantastic. I was using this product while on a serious cut and it worked very nicely. It's expensive stuff but I think that it's worth it. I have used Beverly Muscle Provider and I think Pro Complex is even better. Highly recommend this if you can afford it.
Dymatize ISO 100... Chocolate is the only flavor I use in this one. This is my daily protein that I use it's a staple. it's kind of expensive compared to alot of products but it's 100% Whey Isolate, no carbs, Sugar, fat it's pure protein and Dymatize did really good on the flavoring and you get 80 + servings. It's expensive but no overpriced by any means and it last awhile.
Beverly Muscle Provider... Very overpriced but the flavoring on this is second to none (chocolate) it works very well to. I wish Beverly could offer a 5lb container and keep it under $60 and I would probably purchase this again. 2lbs and the cheapest price I can find on it is $32.99 which sucks and it's just not worth it. I'm not knocking the quality it's one of the best. I think Beverly need to realize this stuff isn't worth the money, no protein is.
BioNutritional Research Group Proto Whey... Wow this stuff is amazing I love Whey Protein Hydrolysate. The delivery is quicker than any other protein you can get. I take it and can feel it within a few minutes (true story) I actually got a slight pump after drinking it. it's pretty expensive, but i can justify it because it's the ****. I don't buy it to often, if money wasn't an issue I would stock up on this stuff. Chocolate is amazing..
BCAA/EAA
Scivation Xtend. Watermelon Amazing taste, the best flavor I have tried from this product. This is a staple of mine and I always sip on this drink while working out. I don't really feel it working so much I'm just keeping the faith. I don't think you really feel a BCAA working, it just works.
Universal EAA Stack.. Watermelon is awesome. I don't use this all the time and I don't know what is better between BCAA and EAA. I know EAA has BCAA in it but I think BCAA you are getting a higher dose of Leucine and for value BCAA is the way to go? maybe? I know BCAA is alot more popular and more companies make BCAA products than EAA. you can get alot of your EAA in whole foods. I hear EAA causes protein synthesis and it better while doing a bulk and BCAA is good for cutting and sparing lean muscle mass. I also heard high doses of Luecine cause protein synthesis so I'm unsure what to believe??? And I don't know why EAA wouldn't spare lean muscle mass. maybe someone can break it down.
MULTI VITAMIN
Source Naturals Life Force.... I just like this vitamin it got a very good rating out of 300 vitamins tested it ranked #3 and $10 a month is a no brainer. This has like a 92% absorbtion rate to. So they say. I like the price and believe in it so I use it.
