This might be the coolest athlete pre-workout I've seen all year. It's C4 AlphaBomb Sport from Cellucor, a complete training formula in Lightning Lemon Berry, and it has zero caffeine but 200 mg of enfinity paraxanthine. Here's what's inside and how it tastes.
What's in C4 AlphaBomb Sport?
First, the container is very cool, and the branding makes a lot of sense. Here's what you get per scoop:
- Electrolytes: sodium and potassium
- Creatine monohydrate: at a full dose, for strength and power
- Beta-alanine, 3.2 g: for performance and endurance
- L-citrulline and L-citrulline malate: for pumps and performance
- Taurine, 2 g, and alanyl-L-glutamine, 250 mg: for hydration
- Tyrosine (1 g), velvet bean (175 mg), Landkind Pure Salidroside (60 mg) and beta-lactolin: for focus and concentration, and to help fight fatigue
- Caffeine: 0 mg
- enfinity paraxanthine: 200 mg
Why Paraxanthine Instead of Caffeine?
When you drink caffeine, your liver breaks it down, and about 80% of it becomes paraxanthine. enfinity gives you paraxanthine directly, and here's why that matters for athletes. How fast you break down caffeine is genetic, and that gene is called CYP1A2. Slow metabolizers get the jitters, and fast metabolizers barely feel it. Paraxanthine skips the step that gene controls. In my video, I also break down a study where trained runners took 200 mg of enfinity or 200 mg of caffeine before a 10K, which is the same amount that's in this scoop.
How Does Lightning Lemon Berry Taste?
It's actually very good. I gave it an 8.8 out of 10. Very solid. Watch my review.
Price
C4 AlphaBomb Sport is $34.99 for 20 servings at cellucor.com, and Lightning Lemon Berry is the flavor available right now.
Bottom Line
The reason I like this pre-workout is simple. Yes, the branding is cool and the flavor is solid, but more importantly, the formula is built to support how you perform. It's stim-free with 200 mg of enfinity paraxanthine, full-dose creatine, electrolytes and focus ingredients, and Lightning Lemon Berry is an 8.8 out of 10. If you're an athlete, this one is worth a look.
