I'll add to this too -

Endorush (by BSN)

Good:
Tastes good (grape especially)
lasting energy with relatively little caffeine per serving (85mg per serving, 4 serv per bottle)
4 servings per bottle (I use half a bottle per workout and its plenty of energy)
Variety of endurance/energy ingredients

Bad:
Price (as much as $4 per bottle even though its "technically 4 energy drinks per bottle")
slight spicey aftertaste
mega mega B vitamin content (could be a bad thing if taken on a consistent basis)

9/10


Supercharge (Gaspari)

good:
super energy - hits you very hard and fast (but it should for 300mgs of caffeine for a full serving)
addition of multiple ergigenic aids (creatine, etc.)

bad:
little too jittery/too much caffeine (but this will vary depending on user)

7.5/10



Thermo Rush (World Wide Sport Nutr)

Good:
added Taurine, green tea
price (these are usually on sale for some reason when I find them)


Bad:
a little on the weak side energy wise


7/10

have you tried N.O Xplode from BSN, I have been using it a while, and I like it, however it seems to have a similar effect as other...

REALLY GOOD pump, and energy, but the energy only really lasts about 45 minutes, and you have to hit it hard.
The only nice thing I found is that I don't CRASH per say after w/o.

I like it 2wks on 1 wk off.

Supercharge is made by Labrada not Gaspari.

Ive had NO-Xplode, Supercharge and Superpump 250... Supercharge was my favorite and as far as I know the Superpump doesnt depend on a lot of caff for its energy but instead loads you up on Vitamin B12.. like 2600% of your daily value or something.  I dont crash off of it... I crash from a good workout.

BEST: Sci-Fit sells 200 count 200mg caffeine pills for 8 bucks.  2 pills 30 minutes before pre-workout meal.  That's the best pre-workout supplement IMO.
