Energy

[joshy207 15]

All that caffeine shit is really bad for you. It gives your body a huge letdown after games.

I've tried Vespa... and yes, it tastes HORRIBLE... but most often, I've noticed a difference when I use it. I feel less tired near the end of a game. Legs have a little more jump in them in the 3rd period. It doesn't always seem to work, but usually it does. Then again, I'm an out-of-shape beer leaguer, so the shoes I wear that day could possibly impact my game a little, too...

What flavours does the PIMP Juice come in?

Ugh, if you guys are getting the "real" Red Bull remember its nicotine content.

It tastes like death with a hint of bile, but Rock Star (forgot who makes it) was one that got me wired real fast.

Rockstar is made by Coke...

Not that it matters, but I figured Id let you know

Usually a Powerbar, carbs and Adrenaline from sobe does it for me. I only get red bull when I forgot to stop (Free for me at work).

There was a place running a special on Vault in 16oz cans while I was in Charlotte and I started getting used to it.

Vault isn't all that bad as far as sweet soda style drinks go.

If you want a true rush, get a jug of BSN's NO Xplode. It's made as a pre-workout drink for bodybuilders, but I'm sure it would work great for hockey. It provides the most intense energy rush I have ever felt as well as increasing your focus on the task at hand. I've never had better workouts in my life than when I tried this stuff. Another good thing is it tastes good too, unlike most of the other energy crap out there. Since I haven't played anything other than open hockey since discovering it I'm not sure how it would translate to the rink, but I would be willing to bet it would be perfect. I can't find the BSN website, but here is a link to a description: boydbuilding.com on NO Xplode.

The only downside is your body does become accustomed to it. I noticed a lessened effect after going through 2 jugs (working out 5 days/week). So I quit for a month or so before starting back up again. But if you're only using it for games, this probably wouldn't be an issue.

All Vault essentially is a rebranded Surge.

Surge was the best! is that true or a rumor JR?

Taste it for yourself...its pretty darn close. I think Vault might mave a bit more caffeine.

Mid-Michigan was a test market for Vault last year, and it was only $.50 for a 20 ounce.

i have tasted it but i would have never thought it to be Surge casue i havent had Surge since years....

No, because nobody else can believe that you bumped up a thread that was 631 days old.

This post is so rediculously old that they have actually started bringing red bull into Canada since this post was made!

AMP from Mountain Dew has kept me up a few nights.

I friggen love that stuff! drink it before work all the time :)

that stuff is good

i had some before a hockey game and it gave me tons of energy

but you have to drink well before the game because one time i did it and i got all the energy about an hour after the game

Since this tread was started basically all the rules about getting ready for a game. I think now my favorite energy routine (Sudafed with some Gatorade) I technically illegal in Canada and the states.

But Red Bull, which would kill you in half as many doses, can be bought off the shelf. GO FIGURE.

[EBondo 232]

Monster Energy Drink, and Monster Assault are the best energy drinks out there. Best taste, best kick, most energy, coolest looking can. It's amazing. I used to drink one a day, but cut back. I'd rank Bawlz up there too

[Jim A 4]

be careful...taking things like sudafed for an extended length of time can begin to suppress your immune system...and well you won't know since you are amp'd out on sudafed before games etc..

Yeah, it is slightly tweaked, but the formula is pretty much the same...

Yeah, I tried it when it was .50.

How come peoples top energy drinks dont include powerade or gatorade?

[JR Boucicaut 3792]

Because it's not an "energy" drink.

[Ti-girl 0]

They're drinks with sugars and electrolytes, not caffienne.

[pantherfan 0]

WHAT! So every time i bought a Gatorade to keep my energy up i havent actually been doing that?

So it just kinda gives you a "sugar rush" ?

[Ti-girl 0]

No.

Gatorade has never branded itself as an energy drink. It is a hydration drink. It replaces sodium, potassium and chloride that you lose when sweating.

It also has carbohydrates that gives energy to fight muscle fatigue.

So yes, it is keeping your muscle energy up and then keeping your mental edge.

Vault doesn't really do any thing for me energy wise and I like the taste of mountain dew way more. I've tried energy bars and that nasty gell stuff and I dont really like any of it. Amp is probably my favorite energy drink though.

Oh Crap!

Would i be right in guessing that Lucazade Sport isn't an energy drink aswell?
