ĂâĂšMixibility: I feel as though with previous generations of C4 some product would always clump at the bottom of my shaker cup. This new formulation is a much finer powder and mixed up perfectly In a glass with a spoon, no shaker needed. Taste: In previous versions of c4 they have always tasted good to me, a little on the sweet side and most were pretty tart. Fruit punch in other versions was usually pretty tart for me. This new version tastes sweet like usual minus the tartness which makes it much more enjoyable. Sometimes I like to mix it with extra water and continue sipping on it throughout my workout because it tastes so good. Energy & Focus: This procurement has always given me tremendous energy & focus. I was skeptical that a better formula could be made. I ... MoreĂâĂšMixibility: I feel as though with previous generations of C4 some product would always clump at the bottom of my shaker cup.

I was skeptical that a better formula could be made. I appreciate That The caffeine & beta alanine levels were both increased. I'm glad the N-Acetyl-l-tyrosine stayed in the formula since I can really tell extra mental clarity from it. I'm a big fan of removing bitter orange & yohimbe and replacing with a cutting edge novel compound like teacor. TeaCor seems to give as good if not better energy/focus than the other stimulants minus the unwanted side effects. Typically I would use 3 scoops of c4. The tweaked formula has allowed me to cut back to 2 scoops which adds extra value to the product. I used this product ever day for 2 weeks and noticed no tolerance. Strength: I'm currently cutting so calories are lowered, cardio is increased, & c4 was the only supplement I was using during the 2 week time frame. Even while cutting I was able to maintain my strength, & it even increased on some lifts Vascularity: This is one of my favorite parts of c4. I've been using it for years & it always delivers some of the best pumps possible. I think Cellucor struck gold when they decided to use creatine nitrate in their preworkout & the addition of arginine akg allows it to last even longer in your body. I notice the pump regardless of how much product I use which really is a testament to how potent the creatine nitrate is. I've even found myself taking a scoop of c4 on nights I go out in order to give me energy/focus/& pumps lol Formula: I've been a loyal fan of c4 ever since it was first released a few years back. I'm extremely happy Cellucor has continued to use the same foundation for the formula while only tweaking very minor aspects of the formula. I think this is a more stream lined & consistent product that would work excellent for men, women, power lifters, cross fitters, & your average gym rat.

I would like to give the good folks at Cellucor a tremendous shout out for giving me the opportunity to test drive one of the start products in their NEW 4th Generation Cellucor Lineup! For those of you who do not know, C4 by Cellucor is a Pre Workout Supplement (I'ĂĂŽm sure most of you have heard of by now) that has been at the top of the charts for several years. It has been my go-to pre workout supplement of choice since 2009. I have used a multitude of pre workout supplements over the years, with C4 by Cellucor being the most consistent product used for my training. This review of the NEW C4 will cover the following: - Taste/Flavor - Mix ability - Energy - Mental Focus - Stamina/Endurance - Pumps/Vascularity - Final Comments/Overall Rating I just want to make VERY CLEAR right off the bat that this review is from my own personal experience and use with the new 4th Generation C4. What you read about my experiences and opinions on this product are MY OWN. What I have experienced with this product could very well differ from the experiences you have had or will have with this product. This is simply what I experienced with the product and should be used as some useful information and insight on what you could expect should you decide to use this product. Let'ĂĂŽs get started. Taste/Flavor: Cellucor to me is synonymous with GREAT FLAVOR. I went into this assuming that little to no tweaking was done to the flavor formula as it was not mentioned as being one of the components that was improved with the 4th Generation version. The flavor I got to test drive was watermelon, and OH MY GOODNESS! I have reviewed Cellucor watermelon-flavored products before as having a 'ĂĂșJolly Rancher Watermelon'ĂĂč like flavor, and with the 4th Gen Watermelon I was reminded of that vivid and SHARP taste! I don'ĂĂŽt know if it was because I had about a solid week of no pre workout supplement prior to taking the new G4 C4, but I felt that the flavor was very sharp, depending on the amount of water used. Over the course of two weeks I decided to vary the dosage as well as the ounces of water used to test the amount of watermelon flavor and its potency depending on how much was used. The following is the list of my personal findings with flavor and dosage: - 1 scoop & 6oz: Flavor is sharp, slight tartness pairs with the sweet jolly rancher flavor - 1 scoop & 4oz: Flavor is sharp, tartness VERY present that pairs with the sweet jolly rancher flavor - 1 scoop & 10oz: Flavor is still very much present, overall sweetness and taste is slightly muted - 1 scoop & 12oz: Flavor is still there, sweetness is still slightly present, no tartness present - 1.25 scoop & 6oz: Flavor is QUITE SHARP, Tartness very strong (which I like) & sweetness strong - 1.5 scoop & 10oz: Flavor is INTENSE, Tartness very present and commanding & sweetness strong - 2 Scoop & 10oz: HEAVEN. Tastes as if a bunch of Watermelon Jolly Ranchers were melted and consumed. A tasty and flavorful PUNCH IN THE MOUTH. Basically, if you stay in the 4oz to 10oz range with 1 scoop of G4 C4, you will notice a pleasant and strong flavor. I have found this to be the norm with EVERY flavor of C4 that I have tried (I have tried all of the 3rd generation flavors with the exception of Mojito as well as Orange Dreamsicle). This is me personally, but watermelon is one of my personal favorites when it comes to the various flavors Cellucor offers, so I am a little biased in this regard. DEFINITELY a Must have if you are a watermelon fanatic! RATING: 10/10 (Not sure if they improved the flavor formula, but I thought this was just ridiculously good!) Mix ability: If you are like me, and have taken numerous products by Cellucor, then you already know that with the exception of M5-RELOADED (Mass Builder Supplement), all of the brand'ĂĂŽs products mix extremely well and with little effort. Whether I mixed 1 scoop, 1.25 scoop, 1.5 scoop, or even the INSANE 2 scoops, the new 4th Generation C4 mixes very well ease. Even if you were to only use 4-6oz with 1.5 or 2 scoops, the powder blends very evenly within seconds! I used my new Vortex Blender 2.0 bottle for every dosage of G4 C4 that I took. I used it with the motorized attachment for power blending and I also used it without and simply swirled the mixture by hand. Both methods were effective and both yielded no particles or 'ĂĂșfloaters'ĂĂč as I like to call them, at the top of the liquid. IF, and I mean IF, you leave the blended mixture alone for a minute or two, there will be a little bit of particle settling at the bottom. This really is not a big deal to me, and should not be a big deal to you, since the particles are so small you will not notice them or feel them when you consume the mixture. Other than that, G4 C4 mixes EXTREMELY well with no clumping, muss or fuss! RATING: 10/10 (maybe a 9.5 if I felt the small particle settling at the bottom was an issue. But it'ĂĂŽs not.) Energy: Okay. Now down to what really matters: Does this product even work?! As far as my overall energy during my workouts while consuming this, I will go so far as to say that it definitely made a difference in my overall MAXIMAL energy. What I mean by this is that I always have energy when I train, largely due to the fact that I do not typically train in a fasted state (just my personal preference, and my body performs better with food in my system). HOWEVER, when I test drove the new C4 I did have several workouts in which I did not have any food in my system. I did not purposely plan this for the sake of seeing how my body responded, that'ĂĂŽs just how it happened. The surge of energy from this product definitely hit me on the days I was in a fasted state, but that is how the 3rd Gen C4 hit me too. Back to my MAXIMAL energy. This product really thrived in the aspect of MAINTAINING the energy I had in addition to the energy that the product gave me throughout the ENTIRE WORKOUT. YES, I felt ready to spend another 2 hours in the gym at the end of each of my workouts over these past two weeks. The addition of the 'ĂĂșTeaCor'ĂĂč to the energy formula in this 4th Gen C4 I believe really plays a part in keeping the energy I have during my training both SUSTAINED and CONSTANT. I ended each and every workout strong and always had extra energy after the workout, which for some of my late night workouts was probably not a good thing as I had to wait a while to get to sleep (even though I am a night owl at heart). This energy (with the exception of 2 scoops, which made me feel like I could break doors in half) was very smooth. I prefer products that do not load up on the caffeine (talking 200+ mg amounts here), but rather utilize other ingredients to help assist with providing long, sustained energy, and G4 C4 DELIVERED in this regard. I would say the energy is still comparable to the 3rd Gen C4, but from my experience with this new 4th Gen, there is definitely a noticeable difference in the energy following me to the very end of each workout. RATING: 10/10 (I believe the new addition of TeaCor to the formula definitely plays a part in bringing out a more sustained and calm energy with this product) Mental Focus: Here is the one area where I was not really sure if the new C4 brought upon an improved mental focus for me. I have learned to really enter my own zone in terms of mental focus and fortitude when it comes to my training now, so I do not have a need to rely on a product to give me that 'ĂĂșmental edge.'ĂĂč The only product that really helped 'ĂĂșlock in'ĂĂč my mental focus and mood was the improved P6 BLACK, not a pre workout. I believe that the TeaCor and the Velvet Bean extract in the product formula could have helped to keep my energy sustained, which in turn could have also kept my mental focus steady and strong. In my fasted state workouts I did not feel mentally drained, so I believe that the new C4 could have played a role in my mental focus. Rating: 7.5/10 (I rated this low because I would need more time and experimentation to really assess the effect on my mental focus this product really could have) Stamina/Endurance: My overall stamina and endurance really goes hand in hand with my overall energy while I have been taking the new C4. My training program has heavy, low rep, compound exercises, along with days where I have reps that range from 8 all the way up to 20. These workouts have left me sore, but not once during my workouts did I feel as if I had to stop, give up, take a longer break, etc. G4 C4 really kept me going and going and going, energizer bunny style. When I took 1.5 scoop and 2 scoops as dosages, I was almost ready to jump into the next set (even on my heavy weight, low rep exercises) and had to remind myself to rest a little bit longer and not jump the gun! No doubt about it, my stamina and endurance was sustained and never dropped or quit before my training was completed. RATING: 10/10 (I kept going and going and going and going and felt as if I could have spent two more hours in the gym after each and every workout) Pumps/Vascularity: Right now, I'ĂĂŽm fat. Okay, Okay. I'ĂĂŽm not obese or mega overweight, but I have accumulated quite a bit of fat in my midsection as I have been basically dirty bulking for the past several months. My leanness is where my vascularity really shines, although my shoulders and upper pecs always seem to show the veins. So in terms of overall vascularity, I really did not notice any crazy roadmaps of veins or veins in places I didn'ĂĂŽt know I had veins, but I would definitely say 'ĂĂșTHE PUMPS WERE REAL.'ĂĂč I felt my body pumped up and tight whether it was an upper body or lower body day. The pump lasted about 30 'ĂĂŹ 60 min after my workout, but then soon diminished. RATING: 8/10 (Did not do much for vascularity, but overall pumps were noticeably felt EVERY workout) Additional comments/overall rating: Does the NEW C4 live up to the hype?! I would say it is not hype, but the improvements made to the formula are certainly noticeable. This isn'ĂĂŽt a NEW product in the sense that it is a completely new product in terms of formula, taste, effect, rather, it is an IMPROVED product than its predecessor. Personally, I would need more time to really test the boundaries of my 'ĂĂștolerance'ĂĂč to the product in order to assess the effectiveness of the TeaCor that was added to the formula. I LOVED the sustained energy that it gave me, the flavor and taste that quenched me, and the pumps that were very much felt with every workout. This product is DEFINITELY worth picking up, and is reasonably priced for what it provides. Cellucor definitely took the time and effort to bring an IMPROVED formula and an IMPROVED product! OVERALL RATING: 9.35/10

My favorite Pre Workout when Iâm on a budget. Iâm a college student and sometimes money can be tight, but I canât leave those gains behind right? The amount of caffeine was strong, but wasnât over powering. The Creatine inside is a nice tough, but since I already supplement it and itâs such a small amount per scoop,I find it pointless.As for taste, I bought a Marguerite flavor, since it was cheaper than the others, probably because nobody wanted it. It was surprisingly delicious, but I do have a big sweet tooth. It does not blend well, and I often found there was always powder at the bottom even when adding extra water and shaken it vigorously.Doesn't pack a super hype punch like some preworkouts, but it always gets the job done & gives my muscles that warm pain ... MoreMy favorite Pre Workout when Iâm on a budget.

RATING: 10/10 (I kept going and going and going and going and felt as if I could have spent two more hours in the gym after each and every workout) Pumps/Vascularity: Right now, I'ĂĂŽm fat. Okay, Okay. I'ĂĂŽm not obese or mega overweight, but I have accumulated quite a bit of fat in my midsection as I have been basically dirty bulking for the past several months. My leanness is where my vascularity really shines, although my shoulders and upper pecs always seem to show the veins. So in terms of overall vascularity, I really did not notice any crazy roadmaps of veins or veins in places I didn'ĂĂŽt know I had veins, but I would definitely say 'ĂĂșTHE PUMPS WERE REAL.'ĂĂč I felt my body pumped up and tight whether it was an upper body or lower body day. The pump lasted about 30 'ĂĂŹ 60 min after my workout, but then soon diminished. RATING: 8/10 (Did not do much for vascularity, but overall pumps were noticeably felt EVERY workout) Additional comments/overall rating: Does the NEW C4 live up to the hype?! I would say it is not hype, but the improvements made to the formula are certainly noticeable. This isn'ĂĂŽt a NEW product in the sense that it is a completely new product in terms of formula, taste, effect, rather, it is an IMPROVED product than its predecessor. Personally, I would need more time to really test the boundaries of my 'ĂĂștolerance'ĂĂč to the product in order to assess the effectiveness of the TeaCor that was added to the formula. I LOVED the sustained energy that it gave me, the flavor and taste that quenched me, and the pumps that were very much felt with every workout. This product is DEFINITELY worth picking up, and is reasonably priced for what it provides. Cellucor definitely took the time and effort to bring an IMPROVED formula and an IMPROVED product! OVERALL RATING: 9.35/10
My favorite Pre Workout when Iâm on a budget. Iâm a college student and sometimes money can be tight, but I canât leave those gains behind right? The amount of caffeine was strong, but wasnât over powering. The Creatine inside is a nice tough, but since I already supplement it and itâs such a small amount per scoop,I find it pointless.As for taste, I bought a Marguerite flavor, since it was cheaper than the others, probably because nobody wanted it. It was surprisingly delicious, but I do have a big sweet tooth. It does not blend well, and I often found there was always powder at the bottom even when adding extra water and shaken it vigorously.Doesn't pack a super hype punch like some preworkouts, but it always gets the job done & gives my muscles that warm pain ... MoreMy favorite Pre Workout when Iâm on a budget.

Excellent pre-workout! I love the original version of C4, it's definitely one of my go-to pre-workouts! The ingredient profile is excellent as with all Cellucor products, what stands out most here is the good amount of caffeine, CarnoSyn and NO3-T. All three are dosed well and really make this a very well rounded pre-workout. I like the chart on the back of the dose that breaks down all the different versions of C4 and tell you pretty easily which ones are better in certain areas than others. As said, C4 Original is a very well balanced overall product. The mixability of C4 is great, easily mixes with water with no problem. Now the flavor, Juicy Candy Burst is amazing! One of the best favors I've had in a pre-workout in a very long time! It tastes exactly like it ... MoreExcellent pre-workout!

Overall, C4 is already an excellent product, but with the addition of this brand new flavor it's that much better!!
This is my first time trying this flavour and it is my favourite. Doesn't have that yucky pre-workout taste some can have. I have felt the benefits since using it every morning it kicks me into gear to tackle the intense workout sessions we endure. I will definitely be buying more.
Flavor: 10/10 - I don't give out 10s much unless but these flavors were amazing. (Specifically Juicy Candy Burst, I absolutely loved it, tastes like starburst) Extra: I have extensive research on Cellucors C4 product line from C4 extreme, Mass, Ripped, 50x, On the Go, Ultimate. Neuro, Extreme Energy and now ZERO. C4 ZERO flavor testing was superb and all of these flavors are in my top from this brand and product!!! Flavors are amazing, I used a serving scoop in about 8oz of water mixed with crushed ice. I am a huge fan of Cellucors C4 line and this doesn't fail me too the least. C4 mixes well with products from Cellucor but be careful to read the ingredients because too much isn't good. Mixability: 10/10 - No issues at all, no extra flakes give it a good shake and ... MoreFlavor: 10/10 - I don't give out 10s much unless but these flavors were amazing.

Overall: First off thank you Cellucor for making another excellent product, C4 products work tremendously. Not even that the flavor is a great starting point as well as it tastes amazing. But we are all here for the gainz and getting the boost necessary and routines in, I give this product a thumbs up!!! More Extras: ATP is a source of energy our body created, the more ATP the more our body can do. I won't be going into complete detail as I have learned all about ATP, energy systems, etc in College however one thing I found great about the C4 ULTIMATE is that you won't feel any crash after training/workout. I felt the boost and noticed my training/workout lasted longer than normal. I could've gone even more, and it's hard to find a naturally perfect balance of ingredients in an energy booster, not only does it boost ATP/Energy within the body, the ingredients are a perfect mixture, plus no crash which is what we all need.
Flavor: Cherry Limeade and Orange Burst (Can't wait to try the rest will post once I do) 10/10 - I don't give out 10s much unless but both of these flavors were amazing.

I have been a C4 loyal customer for years. I workout about 3 times a week. After purchasing my go-to C4 Blue Razz Original their formula it has changed & not for the better. It had no effect on me not even a tingle. I then received C4 Extreme. Ordered from Ebay fulfilled by Amazon. C4-Extreme gave me a tingle within 10 minutes like the original but the new original formula never does. C4 Extreme gave me a 2 hour extreme Heavy Lift night workout with Vapor Lock Focus. Heavy Pumps as well. I had to force myself to stop. Even though I have a heart condition I was careful not to overload this 300mg Extreme formula , I used a smaller scoop & that was all it took. I experienced not one Heart Palpitation with this 300mg caffeine formula. The taste was awesome with no ... MoreI have been a C4 loyal customer for years. I workout about 3 times a week.

I experienced not one Heart Palpitation with this 300mg caffeine formula. The taste was awesome with no aftertaste. My only recommendation is they should provide a smaller scoop as you do not need as much as the original where I would do 1-1/2 or even 2 scoops. This formula was perfect with excellent results. Now for the after effects- None just Hungry & slept like a Baby 2 hours after a night workout. BUY IT.
I have used a variety of pre-workouts; this one is by far the worst I have ever experienced.No energy change 30mins-1 hour after being taken but did feel fatigued during my workout when I used this blend.It affected my stamina and numbers poorly.I tested that maybe it was me and not the workout; maybe I had eaten the wrong foods or not gotten enough sleep, but this was not the case.Stick to something else, anything else, because this is not, at least in my personal experience, the go-to PW.
I mixed 2 scoops of fruit punch gen 4 c4 with 16 oz water on lifting days. Mixibility: I feel as though with previous generations of c4 some product would always clump at the bottom of my shaker cup. This new formulation is a much finer powder and mixed up perfectly in a glass with a spoon, no shaker needed Taste:In previous versions of c4 they have always tasted great to me, a little on the sweet side and most were pretty tart. Fruit punch tastes sweet, minus the usual tart. I like to mix some extra water and enjoy sipping on it once my workout begins since it tastes so good. Almost identical to fruit punch Hi-c Energy & Focus: This product has always given me tremendous energy & focus. I was skeptical that a better formula could be made. I appreciate that the ... MoreI mixed 2 scoops of fruit punch gen 4 c4 with 16 oz water on lifting days.

Almost identical to fruit punch Hi-c Energy & Focus: This product has always given me tremendous energy & focus. I was skeptical that a better formula could be made. I appreciate that the caffeine & beta alanine levels were both increased. I'm glad the N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine stayed in the formula since I can really feel some extra mental clarity from it. I extremely dislike yohimbe & bitter orange so I'm very excited those ingredients were removed & replaced with cutting edge compounds like TeaCor. TeaCor seems to give me just as much energy & focus minus the unwanted side effects such as anxiety, headaches, or a crash. Typically I would use 3 scoops of c4 pre-workout, with the new formula 2 scoops give me the perfect boost. Strength: I'm currently cutting so calories are currently lowered and cardio is increased. C4 was the on;y supplement I was using for the length of the review. Even while cutting I was able to maintain & even increase strength slightly on some exercises. Vascularity: This is one of my favorite parts of c4. I've been using it for years and it has always delivered one of the best pumps possible. I think Cellucor struck gold when they decided to include creatine nitrate in their pre-workout. Arginine AKG compliments the formula well and helps facilitate a perpetual pump. I notice a pump regardless of how much product I use which is a true testament to the potency of the raw ingredients. I've even found myself taking a scoop of c4 on nights I go out in order to give me energy/focus/ & to look pumped up lol. Formula: I've been a loyal fan of Cellucors for a few years now. I've tried every incarnation of C4 & it keeps getting better. So many times companies will make "improvements" to their products when the only thing they changed was removing ingredients that worked & replacing with cheaper less effective alternatives. The core foundation of c4 remains unchanged, things were only slightly tweaked which is great since cellucor already had a top notch product on their hands.
