I’m just speaking from my experience. I never took three, though I think it’s possible if you had three races in a day that were spread out- over an hour apart- then one before each. I don’t know brainquicken so i can’t comment.
some of the members told me it was good so last year before a football game i took 2 caps and 1 speed ball and had of my best games, only bad thing i caught bad cramps in the fourth quarter.

i dont understand what make it so strong since everything in it is in low amounts ex: tyrosine 300mg.
Throw 225mg of caffeine in just about anything and it’ll usually work pretty well.
lol, thats why the product probably work bc everything else is in low amounts besides the caff.
My experience suggests a pure powdered caffiene to be more effective than any drink or fizzy can.
The ‘other’ impurities and additives from any can or coffee don’t peak you as high. A redbull or coffee could be consumed up to 2 hours out of the event with it effects still good. The powdered caffiene can be taken only 20mins out and gives a higher peak off the same dosage and a quicker come down- which is good for night time competitions so you dont go to bed looking at the ceiling for half the night.
Apart form experience this comes from a report I read a couple of years ago (I will try and dig it up).
Actually Charlie’s advice is probably the first thing I should have said - try it in practice first.
It’s very good too. Vitalyse is just as good though IMO.
Immediatly before I warmup. So 60-90 mins. before I step to the line.
when i first read speedballs i thought you were talking about rock and roll asprin. and that was a bit of a shock.
could one use bq+speedball+vitalyse, i would assume no since 2 of the products contain caff in it?
Yes well you could, but to be honest I think upping the dose on one (and drinking a strong coffee or two if you like also) would make more sense than cramming a mix of supps at lower quantities and getting nothing from any of them.
A key to the effectiveness of any caffeine supp is staying away from it except when you need a boost. most of my athletes never drank coffee except before meets and therefor got a big boost.
I totally agree thats why my original plan was 4xbq+1xspeedball+2xpowerdrive bc i am getting something diff from each one, drinking coffee would be the easy way but i hate coffee. Also what i mean by getting something diff from each one of the supp i listed, bq i get all sorts of goodies, speedball mostly caff, powerdrive mostly tyrosine and i think they would work great together.
I agree the only time i take caff supp is prior to maxing out in the weightroom or before meets/games.
I’ve tried alot of energy drinks, but the one that seems to stand out most and get me a nice kick every single time is the Spike shooters.
I only use them every so often, but in my opnion no drink comes close; maybe redline but I hate the taste.
Wonder how spike shooter + powerdrive would work… I’ve used powerdrive in the past but never combined it with anything except a nodoz or something similar…
Prob because it has 300mg caffeine.
Once again you guys want a supplement with everything in it already and it is natural get some chocamine.

This shit is as cheap as it gets
It contains numerous constituents, including methylxanthines (theobromine, caffeine, and theophylline), biogenic amines (phenylethylamine, tyramine, and according to one source, synephrine), amino acids (phenylalanine, tryptophan, tyrosine, others), minerals (with a high content of magnesium), numerous beneficial antioxidants, and possibly some non-psychoactive cannabanoid-related compounds. The combination of these multiple ingredients produces a unique effect. Promotional literature makes many positive claims about Chocamine, including increased energy, appetite suppression, increased lipolysis (fat burning), improved mood, improved concentration, increased alertness, improved physical performance, aphrodisiac properties, and health benefits.
11 bucks and it will last a couple of months.
It tastes like ass, or non sweetened cocoa but man up and take it. I love this stuff!
Looks interesting. I believe that’s the same active ingredient in Ergopharm Amp which is very good though it will really fry you if taken too frequently.
I only take it every once in a while. On a really hard day or during comp.
