How does the caffeine free version look?

How does the profile look of this caffeine free version? Any good? will this hinder weight loss ?
Answer #1:
It really doesnt have an impressive ingredient profile, the only thing that caught my eye is electrolyte profile and a lot of PWO dont contain electrolytes.

To answer your question, yes it will hider weights because it contains 15g's of carbohydrates which will spike your insulin before your workout. Having your insulin spiked is one situation you want to avoid when loosing weight because it will cause fat gain.

I would suggest using a PWO such as jack3d, it contains no carbohydrates and will not spike your insulin. Plus it has a way better ingredient profile than fast twitch.

Answer #4:
If youre trying to lay off caffeine then i would definitely stay away from PWO supplements, considering the majority of them contain caffeine.

If youre looking for a supplement that will aid you in energy for your workout, i would suggest Purple Wraath. It is a BCAA/EAA supplement, and it gives you a mental edge and great endurance without the use of caffeine. It also contains beta alanine which will help you with your performance.

Answer #5:
Yes and no.

Complex carbs is a great source of energy. But also its carbs, something you want to avoid during weight-loss as much as possible.

Answer #7:
Absolutely,

You need carbs to run through the day. I would just stop consuming carbs during the night if possible.

Answer #8:
Buy horsepower instead. It's by ultimate nutrition.
You never want to spike your insulin before a workout because it lowers other hormone levels, such as GH and test.

Johnnyrace, yes your HG levels and sex hormones are reduced to a minimum in a hyperinsulinemic state caused by the consumption of carbs.

Answer #12:
This is a very good pre-workout and if your taking a break for Caffeine this is the whey togo. I go some sky high pump and some very good gains in leam muscle as well. You can like at Millemnium Sport Technmolgies Ragnorok this came in Caffaine free as well and works very well for me.

Answer #13:
For me, just the name is a turn off. It is a gimicky name and...

These types of products are what is "in" right now. After you have been lifting for a while you realize, good nutrition and a cup of coffee will give you all the energy you need!
