Does anyone know what is better for sports performance… Spike or Power Drive?
and is it safe to use both at once?

I have used both around the same time with no problem. Power Drive is more brain food type ingredients enhancing mental function. Spike tablets are kind of similar but the Spike Shooter is a more potent energy booster.
D
What do you mean by sports performance? I have used both, and each has their own pros and cons. I prefer Spike to Power Drive when I am training. Spike is amazing stuff!
Why is it that people never know how to use the search bar???

Spike - Great for that pre workout boost on a gloomy day or when your squatting. Might need two pills if your over 200lbs or tolerant to caffeine. I do not recommend taking it daily because a. you might get dependent , and b. its effects wear off gradually. Still , it is a quality product.
-
Powder Drive - I’ve followed Thibs plan and started taking it before and after my workouts. For me , it’s more of a subtle feeling rather than Spike which is fairly obvious the first time you take it.
if you take both at once you turn into a hedgehog, but it’s mainly down to personal experience, i was more of a badger.

Take into account that every person varies as far as stimulants are concerned. At 220 pounds I only need 1/2 of a Spike pill to feel its effects and anything more than that brings about unwanted anxious side effects. So start slow to assess tolerance.

I agree. I have been hooked on Spike for a while but I think for the most part I am dropping Spike and sticking with Power Drive. I notice a slight increase in my performance without the nervous energy I sometimes get from Spike. I love Spike but when I am lifting closer to my max sometimes the energy is distracting…if that makes sense. If I switch to a higher rep program I may go back to Spike.
Two Spike pills did nothing for me. A full can of the Spike Shooter, on an empty stomach, did nothing for me except SOMETIMES give me jitters but little to no energy.
And I my regular caffeine intake prior to trying either of the above had been zero for over 6 months, so it’s not an issue of tolerance anymore. Sucks 
Power Drive was nice in that I felt it may have kept me from burning out from a tough workout, but hard to assess. I will try a few more tubs. Definitely made a bigger diff than Spike.
Next experiment: half a Spike Shooter with a full serving Power Drive plus Caffeine-Free Spike. Will report back.
hey thanks alot evryone. I appreciate your help.

haha let me know if that does anything for you
Spike. It increases endurance.
Spike made me want to take a nap, and a higher dose (2 pills) made me want a nap even more, plus a mild headache. total opposite effect of what was intended. I’m diagnosed as ADHD and have slightly paradoxical responses to stimulants, methylphenidate and adderall do give me a bit of an ‘up’ (and are great for focus and motivation) but i can fall asleep on either one, but the Spike actually put me to bed. it worked fine for my brother though so i gave it to him. Power Drive i don’t really feel but i haven’t had a bad workout on it so maybe it’s working
I prefer Spike.
I have actually been amped for a workout, took Power Drive and lost all motivation.

Wow!
How do you react to a simple cup of coffee? Nothing either?

Nope, nothing.
