The Pre-Workout by Cellucore, properly named as C4 Extreme is, hands down, my favorite supplement on the market. The pump you get with this product is incredible and the focus is unparallel to anything out there. I keep trying new pre workouts but over time, I keep coming back to this product for a good reason, it works!
Before I get into the review itself, I would like to tell you a quick story about the first time I took c4. Going back to the beginning, I always thought that pre workouts were nothing but a scam. Surely I thought, you should be able to go to the gym and workout without a supplement. What could it possibly do?
Fast forward a few months and I am purchasing some protein on amazon and it came with a sample of C4. When it arrived, I read the packaging and it said not to take more than 2 scoops. 2 scoops sounded like nothing to me, so I put in 2 scoops into my shaker bottle, shook it up, and drank it while I browsed the internet before I went to the gym.
10 minutes passed and nothing happened. What a joke I thought, this isn’t working. WRONG! 15 minutes of sitting there and it started in my legs, this crazy tingling sensation (that is the beta-alanine kicking in). Within a few minutes, I was tingling everywhere, but the most prominent was behind my eyes. I started to become restless and quickly threw on my gym clothes and got to the gym. What followed was the most intense gym session I have ever had. I lifted more volume than I ever had and with less muscle burning (thanks again, beta alanine!).
I lifted for close to 3 hours before I headed home. By this time, the tingling sensation was gone, but when I got home, I had work I needed to get done. Usually I am distracted by stuff on the computer when I am working late, but this time was different. For the next 10 hours, I was focused on exactly what I needed to do. The focus from my workout had followed over to what I was doing now. It was an intense experience to be honest, but now I sound like an addict.
So while yes, I believe you should be motivated enough to go to the gym and lift without taking a pre workout, they certainly do work extremely well. Just be careful and take the recommended dose or even half that until you are comfortable with it. Do not take the maximum dose the first time you get a product, that is just asking for trouble.
My Cellucore C4 Extreme Pre-Workout Review
Effectiveness 10/10
Since I have taken Cellucore C4 Extreme, I have also tried many other pre workouts. Nothing beats C4. I keep coming back over and over again because it really works. Within 15-20 minutes of taking it, all you want to do is lift, and lift heavy!
The beta alanine was perfect for going past your limits. I love the tingling sensation and it really gets me going. Some people HATE this feeling. If you are one of those people, I would suggest staying far away from C4.
There is 135mg of caffeine in this product. While this may seem like a lot to you, this is a LOT less than other pre workout supplements. If you have tried other products and are looking for something a little less stimulant heavy, I would give this a try.
Endurance was at an all time high while taking this product. The first time I took it, I did not leave the gym for almost 3 hours. It gives you this incredible drive to just workout and not stop. When it begins to wear off, you do NOT crash. I have experienced some awful crashes from other pre workouts but with C4, this has never happened.
Focus with C4 extreme is second to none. This is my favorite aspect with this product and why I use it frequently. While taking it, I am completly focused at the task at hand no matter if it is trying to hit a new PR on deadlifts, or focusing on my business. If you have not tried this, I would highly recommend you give it a shot, if just for the awesome focus you get!
Taste 10/10
I have tried only three flavors from Cellucore, but that is because I absolutely love them. Green Apple and Pineapple are amazing and spot on and my girlfriend liked Strawberry Margarita. There is no after taste and tastes like the real fruit. This is currently the best tasting product out there in my opinion.
Cellucore C4 comes in the following flavors:
- Orange
- Pink Lemonade
- Fruit Punch
- Watermelon
- Orange Dreamsicle
- Grean Apple
- Icy Blue Razz
- Strawberry Margarita
- Pineapple
Mixability
Like all Cellucore products I have used, it mixes very well with no chunks each and every time.
Price
I typically buy the 60 servings on Amazon for around $35 dollars. This is equivalent to around 57 cents a serving, which is well worth it.
*Note: 60 servings of C4 costs as much as most other products that only give 30 servings. This is a cost effective product that really works wonders.
Side Effects
When you take C4, you expect your heart rate to increase. You may also start to tingle from the beta alanine and sometimes your face may become flushed. Remember to drink pently of water and you will be fine.
Final Thoughts
I really do love this product. You get a huge rush of energy that is consistent each and every time I take it. I get the tingles that really get me motivated to lift and I have never crashed while using it. I would recommend it to anyone.
