This is the first blog post I have ever done, so please bear with me.

In the fitness industry, pre-workouts are considered a staple in the line of supplements. Some companies like Repp Sports and Kaged have their pre-workouts before and of their other products. I have had too many to count. There are just a few that have stuck out to me that I think are the best I've had. Here are the Top 5 Pre-Workouts I've ever had.

5. Mr. Hyde Intense Pre-Workout

I had this bad boy a couple months back. I've had this a couple of times in multiple boxes. Mr Hyde is from Pro Supps and is one of their pinnacle products. In my opinion, the ones I have tasted are really good. Flavors like Bombsicle and Cherry Punch will smack you in the face. The caffeine content is a little intense with having 400mg per serving. The CaroSyn Beta Alanine will get you moving.

4. GAT Nitraflex

This is probably one of the hardest hitting pre-workouts I have had. This supplement gets within your system within a couple of minutes. There are many that say that you should take this 15-30 minutes before your workout, as for this one, you should take it within 5. Sadik Hadzovic, world known IFBB bodybuilder, stated that he only takes half a scoop of this because it's too intense. GAT Nutrition has done a great job on their pre-workout. Tyler and I did a review on this. Check it out below.

Overall, it was a great taste, but I think it is too potent. Got a great pump from it, but crashed hard. One of the better tasting pre workouts I've had. Mixes well and has a good orange flavor, which is hard to create. 7.9/10

3. Rivalus Powder Burn 2.0

If you imagine that there is a special drink that can feel you are ready for anything, this is it. Rivalus made an excellent product with powerful flavor and exceptional blends. The best part about this pre-workout is the 10 minutes after consuming it, the beta-alanine overtakes your body and makes you want to lift heavy. 8.5/10 Here is my video:

2. C4 Energy Drink

What can I say, tried and true. C4 is the most popular pre-workout for a reason! I'm personally not a fan of the powder C4 because I always mess up the ratios. Instead, my favorite is the C4 energy drink style. Only has 200mg of caffeine and packs a punch. Feels good and does not crash super hard. The one con I have for it is the acidity of the strawberry and other flavors. I got a free 6 pack with JackedPack and now I want a full crate of them. 9.0/10 Check out Tyler's first time on trying it here:

1. Celsius Heat Pre-Workout

This is by far my all time favorite energy drink. It has a thermogenetic to help accelerate metabolic rate, it makes me sweat, focused and engaged with my workout. The taste of it is pretty high up there. If I could change this energy drink, I would just decrease the carbonation by 20%. This energy drink packs a punch with 2000mg of L-Citrulline, and 300mg of caffeine! Best of all, 0g of sugar. Check out my review of it here! 9.5/10
