I am an OG C4 drinker. I've been using this product since 2010: first for fitness and athleticism goals while in the infantry, then going to college where my focus was bodybuilding and aesthetics, and now in my 30's where my focus is powerlifting, strength, and longevity. Yes, I remember the old formulation that made you want to leap out of your skin. This product has changed over the years, but it is still great, and it has been there no matter what my goals have been. I've tried all the major brands, and I keep coming back to C4 Original. I encourage everyone to try the others on their fitness journey, but C4 is the standard that I compare everything to. A reliable, well-rounded pre-workout.
