Which pre-workout wins?
It depends on what you want from it.
THE Pre-Workout is a strong, broad formula with 200 mg of caffeine, beta-alanine and citicoline. If you want a lot of caffeine and do not mind the tingle, it is a sensible pick. Aftershock has less caffeine, no beta-alanine at all, and adds L-theanine.
