Hey bro,
I do not use anythign with caffeine in it for pretty much what you listed.
I found Xpand caffeine free by Dymatize to be great! I love it. and works well too.
Hey guys, a while back I posted a thread about my concerns(for myself) about caffeine in pre-workout supplements due to my existing anxiety disorder. I tried white flood for a while even though I knew it had caffeine in it, and everything was going well for a while but then my anxiety was shot through the roof. So now I'm on the hunt for something without caffeine, and wanted to know if anyone had any experiences or good results with any such product.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Try Horse Power from Ultimate Nutrition, is caffeine free.
Ingredient list is great and I've heard a lot of positive feedback.

Neogenix Bodyforge. I love it...underrated but it works, at least for me...
Try cialis pre workout. Trust me you'll love it. 20mg

PreMax by Primordial Performance, Drive by AppNut

Good to know that there are some pre workout mixes with out caffine. I've looked all over and came up empty. Thanks for posting these. I'll have to give them a try. I cant stand the body shakes that caffeine gives me, besides that I've read that it depletes the bones of calcium.
There's no doubt that there are quite a few benefits to caffeine. I just wish I could see those benefits without wanting to curl up in a ball in bed haha. But thanks a lot for posting your ideas everyone. Gonna have to give a few of these a go and see what works for me.
having anxiety sucks bro, why not just do some bcaa, and put a scoop of glutamine in it, you could wash down a few extra arginine with it. no stims
Anxiety is definitely no fun, but I'm able to deal with it pretty well. Getting back into lifting will really help it out a lot as well. Almost to the point of non existent. I've thought about just going with the bcaa's to go along with my glutamine powder. I'm probably going to give the caffeine-free version of Xpand by Dymatize a try. Looks pretty promising.


I was just searching for this very topic all day today and finally found a good thread. Thanks for posting everyone, def going to check out one of these. Don't want my bp raising while on my ph run...
I have a feeling there are quite a lot of people who for whatever reason have trouble with stimulants such as caffeine.
If i remember correctly, doesnt creatine and caffeine not mix together? something about the caffeine effects creatine alot negatively. If so, i dream of a non caffeine supplement.

I've read a simular study. If i can find it I'll post the link. The bottom line was that caffine inhibits the absorbsion of creatine. Not a good trade for sure.
I've suffered from lack of sleep for years. Mainly due to long work hours and my mind racing 100 to nothing but my body was flat worn out. I tried Drive by AppNut and it does work very well. No jitters. I picked some up at OrbitNutrition and wasn't bad price at all.

Try Horse Power from Ultimate Nutrition, is caffeine free.

The study is pretty telling. It would be hard to get the benefits of both caffeine and creatine at the same time as of yet. Below is the conclusion statement from the study.
In conclusion, the present study shows that short-term caffeine intake, but not acute caffeine intake, inhibits muscle relaxation. This negative impact of caffeine on RT counteracts the beneficial effect of creatine supplementation on muscle RT.

I have generalized anxiety disorder, so it can pop up anywhere without warning. Caffeine just exacerbates it. Tried out Dymatize's Xpand Caffeine free version and I still got super anxious after taking it. Back to square one.

I can totally relate to your anxiety issues (i cant even drink coffee without it throwing my day off). I've taken NoXplode, and 1MR. Both gave me the worstttttttttttt anxiety and made me super jittery all day. 1MR almost put me in the hospital with an anxiety attack lol. The only pre gym I use now is Jack3d by USPlabs. It gives me a kind of calm/aderol type effect. Calm and concentrated. I would def recommend trying it out - get the lemon lime, it tastes really good. Start with a small dose 1/2 to 1 scoop just to try it. I hope this helps.
---note it still has caffeine in it.
