The Great Rich Piana Pre Workout Debate
Each Rich Piana Pre Workout is good for different reasons… so which one is best for you?
Choosing between four different pre workout options can be quite a head numbing task, especially when it’s crunch time before a workout and you’re in a rush to get going. The last thing you want to think about is sorting through all of your opened tubs of pre workout, reading the labels, and then trying to figure out which one fits the bill on a given day.
This is just a down and dirty layman’s guide to how to know which one to go for without having to sort through a biochemistry text book.
Stim vs Non-Stim

Stimulant-Free: Full As F*ck
Want to go the stim-free route or get your pump on? Full as F*ck is the way you want to go.
This is the easiest place to start as you know whether or not you want / need a dash or heaping load of stimulants going into your workout. If you’re a naturally energetic person who doesn’t need to be hopped up on a truckload of caffeine and other stims, or you have a late night gym session and don’t want to be up all hours of the night coming down off your energy high, your one and only choice from the 5% line up is Full as F*ck.
Full as F*ck is all about the pump, baby. There’s not a stimulant in sight. It’s perfect for the non-stim user or the lifter who really, really wants to get their pump game raging. Loaded with every conceivable nitric oxide-boosting agent used in the supplement market, Full as F*ck will have you looking all kinds of swole before you finish your warm up.

The other great thing about this pre workout option, is that if you are a stim fan and want / need your daily hit of stims before your workout, you can stack this with any of the other 5% pre workouts we’re about to cover next.
On to the stimulants. Decisions, Decisions…
Here’s where the rubber meets the road. If you include Mentality, Rich’s brain-boosting productivity supplement, you have three different options to choose from when picking a 5% Nutrition pre workout. To save you from having to do the calculus before hitting the shopping cart, we’ll spell it out as simply as we can. Starting with…

The standard go-to: Kill It
This is the “every man’s” pre workout option from 5% Nutrition that has a little bit of everything but not so much that it falls into a specific category.
This is probably the place where 90% of you will land. If this were a fairytale, this is the option that would be just right for Goldie. Kill It contains 250mg of caffeine which puts it right in the sweet spot stim range for the vast majority of users. It’s strong enough to get you going, but not too strong to send you into fits.
Kill It also contains a dash of other ergogenics like a tri-blend creatine matrix, beta alanine, creatinol-o-phosphate as well as agmatine, so you’ll notice some mild performance enhancement, but none of these are dosed to the clinical level you’d need.
In the end, this is a good “overall” pre workout for when you’re feeling pretty good, but still need a little extra “oomph” to get going.

Don’t want powders or pumps? Get the Mentality
Mentality will give you laser focus and a heightened awareness needed to get work done in short order.
While many may scoff at the idea of a productivity product as a suitable pre workout offering, Mentality does in fact offer many of the same traits as most standard pre workouts. Energy? Check. Focus? That’s what it was created for!
Mentality is the ideal option for those who want two things solely out of a pre workout, energy and focus. If you’re one of those people who gets easily distracted at the gym by all the cute girls on the treadmills or you can’t stop chatting with every Tom, Dick, and Harry in between sets, Mentality is what you want / need.
It contains the entire spectrum of neurological enhancers from Alpha GPC to Choline to Vinpocetine and plenty more!
Don’t forget about the energy component though. Containing a 500mg blend that contains 3 forms of caffeine as well as Guarana, Yerba Mate, and Theobromine, we’d venture to say that Mentality contains slightly more caffeine per serving than Kill It does. FYI, a serving of Mentality is 3 capsules so you could lessen the dose and lengthen the bottle with 2 caps.
Mentality might also be a good option for those who are sick of drinking overly sweet pre workouts, and just enjoy the convenience of popping a pill or three before their workout.

ALL-OUT WAR ON THE WEIGHTS: 5150
Caution: 5150 is not for the faint of heart. 400mg of caffeine will hit even the most stim-tolerant among you!
Need to go nuclear? Not satisfied with the previous three options? Then this one’s for you — the motherload of energy that is 5150. Each scoop of 5150 packs 400mg of caffeine plus additional energy boosts from co-players like synephrine, higenamine, and hordenine to name a few.
This is the pre workout for the guy who either:
- Gets way too little sleep each night
- Loves their stimulants
- Needs an entire carafe of coffee just to get moving
- Wants to seriously f*ck things up in the gym
This is a hard hitting, high energy pre workout that will deliver the rush and chemical motivation you may need to get going on occasion. But, there’s more!
5150 also packs in 4g of L-Citrulline, which turns 5150 into a strong energy and pump pre workout. Not only will your body be blitzed with energy, but your muscles will also be pleasantly pumped as well.
This stuff is for real – if you can handle those stims in a full serving.

Footnote: What’s “5150” mean? That’s code for Involuntary Psychiatric Hold, per Section 5150 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code, which allows a clinician to involuntarily confine a person suspected to have a mental disorder!
Takeaway
While having 4 different options to choose from can seem like a rather brain-taxing exercise preceding your gym session, it’s actually a blessing in disguise. Depending on what mood you’re in, or what kind of lifter you are, Rich Piana and 5% Nutrition have a product that can satisfy nearly every lifter on the market.
Hopefully, this guide has taken some of the guesswork out of which pre workout is ideal for your situation. Take a look through once again, decide, and then get your ass to the gym to keep those gains coming!
