What can I do to energize before my workout?
Specifically, I work late on Wednesday nights (7am-3am schedule), so on Thursdays I suffer throughout the work day that started again at 7am and then try to get to the gym tired as hell after work. With roughly 4hrs of sleep, what can I take that will help to rev me up enough to power through the workout and then allow me to crash as usual within 2hrs after my workout?? I was thinking of drinking a ABS Speed Stack or a SF Red Bull.
Any thoughts?-----------------------
Put that steel on your back and give it a motherfucking ride, son.

RE: Red Bull
I hope you are healthy especially cardiovascularly. If you have an predispostion towards cardiac arrythmias do not take red bull.

You are better off sleeping at that time if you only had 4 hours rest the night before. Otherwise, your CNS will be shot and your hormone levels will be far from optimal.

You work a 27hr shift?! Or should that read 7pm-3am?
If its just one day a week, make that day a rest day.Being held down by The Man

Try No Xplode, Ephedrine, Amped or Vault
Good pre-workout energy supplements are BSN No Xplode, Ephedrine (Vasopro by Megapro), Amped by Met-Rx, and Vault by SAN.
The most popular are probably ephedrine and No Xplode.

Assuming you're getting your sleep decently, then AMP or AMP + H.E.A.T. stack are great pre-workout stimulants.

Yeah, I'd say take that as a non workout day. 4 hours of sleep will do you no good at the gym.
