ENERGY DRINKS GOOD OR BAD

I have heard some negative crap about energy drinks before, I just wanted to know what everyone thought about them?

Every read anything about stuff like Red Bull or whatever having negative effects on you? Cause sometimes I drink that stuff, and the next day, feel all sorts of weird.

I live on energy drinks...Ever since ephedra took a nose dive I've had to put up with some sad replacements.

The only one that still works for me is Speed Shot from ABB. Grape is my fav. :)~

Caffeine is my friend. :)

I'm actually drinking a grape Ripped Force right now.

Hey Kimber, I'm a total Speed Shot freak too

My favorite preworkout supp is AMP or Scorch by Man sports. Not a big fan of the drinks as you get a better bang for your buck with tabs. I also am a fan of the speed stack when I have it. I have only tried it a number of times.

As someone that works at night, I have had the same debate in my head for some time... the main thing I am trying to stay away from are artificial sweeteners and high sugar (I know... impossible right?!?) I found this energy drink at the local all-natty food store that claims to be 100% all natural, as it is sweetened with stevia leaf extract. Its called "Guru"-- I buy it in the light version. Has only 10 calories, 2g sugar... 140 mg of sodium... I try to drink it on an empty stomach- I can feel its subtle effects better. The E components include Guarana seed, Echinacea flower, and Panax ginseng root, ginkgo biloba leaf... Tastes great- try it out and lemmie know what you think!

I don't drink energy drinks all the time, but when I do I make sure that I'm goin to workout that day. the best ones that ive had are the ABB line and BSN endorush

Speed Shot looks interesting, you guys think i can get it here in Toronto?

I cycle between caffeine and RevXP before my workouts this gives me some energy all day long. :)

Speed Stack works good for getting me through a training session when I need a boost. If I am using a NO supplement, that also usually gives me that "locked in" feeling enough to power me through. For energy during non-workout times (I work a regular 9-5 plus 32 hours a week at the gym) I have found that 5 Hour Energy is amazing stuff. No jitters or crash like I get with Vivarin or any of the other caffeine supps. Good stuff!

I'm with V Delcampo...ABB's Diet Turbo Tea, especially the Lemon flavor is my favorite.

i drank a 16 oz. Rockstar and slept like a baby an 1 1/2 later... :/ i think caffeine dosent really do anythnig to me any more :(

Another one I forgot to mention, as someone who works about 75 hours a week and occasionally needs a little lift, is 5-hour Energy. That stuff really works for me...nice effect, no crash, and it lasts a good long time. Give it a try sometime!

5 hour energy?

That stuff seriously works? I have seen cheesy ass commercials. i wasnt sure if it was legit or not.

Kinda scared to take it.

I know what you mean, wheelz, I was a little unsure too. Couldn't find my Vivarin one day and thought I would give it a try. I can only tell you it works for me...and like I said, without the crash that kills me with caf. supps.

i might have to give it a shot now, thanks jerry

I'm a pretty stong believer in Bsn's endorush.....I've tried quite a few, but this stuff is awsome! Be careful though, each bottle has 4 servings in it, you only need 4oz's, or even less if you are under 160lbs
