Which pre-workout wins?
It depends on what you want from it.
Thor is a classic stimulant pre-workout: 200 mg of caffeine, beta-alanine, AAKG, taurine and synephrine from bitter orange. If you want a strong kick and the tingle does not bother you, that is what it does. Aftershock has no beta-alanine and builds on citrulline, creatine and betaine with L-theanine.
