If one company has not only flashy branding but also potent pre workouts with clinical doses, it would be Ghost Lifestyle. 

This company has been set on a mission since 2016 to make waves with their supplements, and they have been. 

And Ghost Legend v2 is vegan friendly, gluten free and soy free. 

Ghost Legend (version 2) is worth the ranking here as it uses everything needed in a pre workout. 

It has a similar profile to Wrecked, but if you prefer something with less stimulants, then Ghost is your choice. 

Wrecked has more nitric oxide boosters but also more stimulants. 

Ghost originally only had 202mg caffeine, 2g beta alanine, agmatine and norvaline. 

Now in Ghost Legend v2, they've bumped up the dosages and added high quality ingredients, like 250mg caffeine, 3.2g beta alanine, 1.5g Nitrosigine and Senactive. 

Ghost attacks energy, pumps and focus from various angles. 

For pumps and optimal vasodilation, it contains l-citrulline and Nitrosigine, a potent combo for long lasting pumps. 

Senactive is a fairly new ingredient, it can increase ATP production and help with energy. 

Focus will be optimized thanks to the combination of L-Tyrosine, Alpha GPC, and taurine.

The stimulants in here are decently dosed with 250mg caffeine, 100mg theobromine and 1.5mg alpha yohimbine. 

You won't be overly stimulated but yet you'll have more than enough energy to power through a tough workout. 

Wrecked is more like an entry-level to hard-hitting pre-workouts but it doesn't overdo it with stimulants. 

However, if you can handle these stimulants

• 325mg Caffeine (75mg coming from caffeine malate), 250mg Eria Jarensis, 150mg Theobromine, 1mg Alpha Yohimbine

Then you're good to go.

The caffeine comes from 2 sources, 100mg is coming from caffeine malate, which is a slow-digesting form. 

So you'll only be hit with 250mg nearly instantly not long after consuming this, and the malate form will take more time to digest and deliver you energy. 

This makes it perfect if you can't usually handle 300mg caffeine in its fast-acting form, along with the other stimulants pre-workouts usually have. 

What makes Wrecked stand out is its a blend of ergogenic aids. 

Let's start with the pumps, with 8g citrulline malate, 2g betaine anhydrous, 1.25g Agmatine, 255mg VasoDrive AP and 100mg S7, you'll feel the pumps for hours and your muscles will be much more full. 

This is a pretty intense blend of nitric oxide for a pre-workout that wasn't just designed to be a pump pre-workout. 

An interesting ingredient that may be new to you is the S7.

S7 is a patented blend of several extracts from green tea, tart cherry, blueberry, broccoli, kale, and green coffee bean extract. 

Research has seen this blend of natural extracts to be able to increase nitric oxide by 230% by only using 50mg. 

This will help expand blood vessels, allowing oxygen-rich blood to flow throughout the body.

Now, this is combined with 9g citrulline malate, 1.25g agmatine, and 255mg VasoDrive AP, so you may experience some intense muscle filling thanks to these nitric oxide boosters. 

Keep in mind if you're lactose intolerant, VasoDrive AP is sourced from casein protein, but it is considered to be lactose-free.

If you have a severe lactose allergy then you should avoid this ingredient. 

And the stimulants in here are fairly hard hitting but it's not overly done where you'll feel jitters and anxiety. 

It only uses 1mg of alpha yohimbine, which should be barely felt as this is a low dose. 

Wrecked is one of the best pre-workouts for beginners and with 25 servings of 21g, it's a long-lasting purchase.

Bulk has the name of a pre workout as if it was designed only for muscle building. 

But in reality, it just has clinical doses of performance enhancing ingredients. 

From 6g citrulline malate to 4g BCAA's, 4g beta alanine, and 2.5g betaine anhydrous, you'll be able to squeeze out more sets and reps than usual with these ingredients. 

Beta alanine will help clear out the lactic acid while citrulline malate will increase vasodilation and betaine anhydrous will increase muscle size and strength. 

On top of that, the 1.3g taurine will help increase size by forcing more water retention in your muscles. 

The nootropics and stimualnts in Bulk will help enhance both focus and energy. 

The fast acting form of caffeine is dosed at 180mg, but on top of that there's 30mg of the malate form for long lasting energy, and 50mg theobromine on top of that, which is a mild stimulant. 

The 360mg of theanine here is sure to be felt, it'll help increase calmness without causing drowsiness. 

A similar pre workout to Bulk is Wrecked. 

If you prefer more energy and pumps, then go with Wrecked, but if you want more power and strength, then Bulk is a good choice. 

Superhuman by Alpha Lion might be one only pre workouts on here with DMHA. 

It's not overly strong, with 100mg DMHA, 275mg caffeine and 75mg N-Methyl Tyramine HCl, you'll be getting a nice flow of energy without the jitters of anxiety. 

There is also 100mg of a slower acting caffeine, caffeine malate, but that doesn't hit as quickly as the 275mg caffeine anhydrous. 

Caffeine takes longer to digest in it's malate form, allowing you to have energy over a longer period of time. 

DMHA is usually dosed at 200-300 in stronger pre workouts, so this is a nice introduction to exotic stimulants. 

But keep in mind, NMT (n-methyl tyramine HCl) is banned by WADA (World Anti Doping Agency) and should be avoided if you're drug tested for competition.

NMT isn't really that strong of a stimulant, but it's mainly banned because it can work as a bronchodilator. 

If you have experience with 300mg of caffeine, then Superhuman should be no problem for you. 

But if you don't, then you should go for Bulk or MyProtein Pre Workout. 

If you want the revised version without DMHA, then check it out here.

You don't always want stimulants. 

There are tons of ingredients that can do wonders for workouts like nitric oxide boosters and even nootropics. 

That means you can remain focused and have fuller muscles without requiring stimulants like caffeine. 

You may also want to train later in the evening and don't want to disturb your sleep.

This is where non-stimulant pre-workouts like Pump Serum come into play. 

Pump Serum is one of the safest pre-workouts you can go with because it's packed with ingredients that will increase nitric oxide levels from different levels and it also has nootropics to produce all-day focus. 

It'll also help enhance mood, so whether you're trying to cut down on caffeine or you want to train at your best without stimulants, then Pump Serum is a great choice. 

Simple pre workouts are hard to find these days. 

However My Protein has done it right with THE Pre Workout. 

The simply named THE Pre Workout contains exactly what you need and leaves out everything else. 

The downside to THE Pre Workout is that it contains a small dose of creatine, 2g. 

Creatine should be dosed at 5g for proper benefits, but you should have this ingredient in bulk anyway as it can be taken anytime. 

And beta alanine is a little underdosed at 2g, it should be 3.2g at least.

But if you don't like the tingles then this dose may just be good for you. 

There's also 4g citrulline with 2.5g betaine to help with muscle pumps, size and strength. 

All in all, THE Pre Workout is the perfect introduction to the world of this category of energy supplements. 

Pre-Kaged is a great pre-workout with a formula that can't do any beginners any wrong. 

Although it does have a little bit of beta-alanine, the tingles won't be as overwhelming as a pre-workout with 3 grams. 

It's also from a trusted company and it doesn't have any banned substances. 

Pre-Kaged is a straightforward pre-workout that doesn't try to do anything new but it does have proven-to-work ingredients that will surely help strength and performance. 

Although it doesn't go overboard with stimulants, the energy is just enough to keep you going for hard workouts and some more. 

If you want a smooth experience for your first pre-workout, then 4 Gauge pre-workout is a solid choice. 

It has just enough energy and it doesn't cause any side effects.

Without beta-alanine, it won't even cause tingles. 

The caffeine and theanine combo is a solid way to increase energy smoothly without causing jitters or anxiety. 

You also won't experience a crash.

There's also a clinical dose of citrulline malate at 6g, along with beet root extract to help further increase nitric oxide levels. 

4 Gauge will help also with hydration as it has coconut water. 

So you can't go wrong with this pre-workout, whether it's your first time using pre-workouts or just want a nice experience. 

If you want something cheap and better than coffee, then Amino Energy has what you need.

This is a energy supplement with amino acids and caffeine.

It's fairly straightforward with 100mg caffeine per 2 scoops with a little bit of beta alanine (probably less than a gram)

Every serving has 5 grams of amino acids but they are in a proprietary blend, so you don't know how much of each amino acid you're getting.

But it's still a cheap choice and has been a popular pre workout for years now
