body fortress is widely known as total crap. im not even going to click the link, and i can already tell you to not buy it. they use the cheapest ingredients, very poor manufacturing methods, and the fact that theyre products are the cheapest available at stores like walmart, target, extra and save-on-foods speaks for itself.
and sorry to say, but noXplode is garbage as well. it has a lot of fillers that arent good for you at all (like maltodextrin..which is just there to make the serving size bigger, thus making the product cost more), and the list of active ingredients isnt anything impresive, especially for how much they charge for it. i tried it a couple times, and it gave me a racing hearbeat from all the caffeine and taurine, made me very jittery, and then i crashed hard afterwards. Stay away from it, its crap!
the only pre workout sup ive tried and actually liked the effects of, with no side effects, and that contains no dangerous and pointless fillers, is USPLabs-Jack3d. It gives a good, clean, non jittery energy feeling, it helps you focus and get through your workout without becoming destracted, and it doesnt make you crash or feel weird after coming down off of it. Plus, its very cheap. a 45 serving tub from bodybuilding.com is about 25 bucks.
all in all tho, id have to say stay away from pre workout sups.. theres not much in them that you cant get from taking a good quality B vitamin, a glass of strong green tea or coffee, and a bowl of oats/slow digesting carbs before your workout.
it gives you all the focus and energy, all the 'edge' you need, its cheaper, its definitely safer, and after having tried all three of the best selling pre workout sups at one time or another (xplode, sp250, and jack3d) id have to say that a good meal, a b vit, and a cup of tea works even better. so why opt for the supplement version??
think of it this way: if you wanted a good protein rich meal that would fill you up and give you all you need to rebuild your muscles after a workout, and you had the option of choosing a baked sweet potato, with some garlic bread, a lean chicken breast, and some veggies.. or a scoop of whey, what would you choose? sometimes its easy to get caught up in the hype and ad-campaigns of supplements, and youre led to believe they work better than getting the same ingredients from good, whole foods. but if you can get the same thing from food.. the rule of thumb: go for the whole food version
