For the purpose of getting a better workout and elevating metabolism is it best to take all three, or is just 2 say HOT-ROX and Spike enough?
You are not supposed to take Spike and HOT-ROX in the same day.
If you need to cut, go with HOT-ROX. If you’re bulking, Spike might be better.
Spike should give a better mental boost, as the “up” from HOT-ROX is a side-effect.
You can use Power Drive with everything, but you should take it 30 to 45 minutes before ingesting your workout protein shake, as the protein will interfere with the tyrosine absorption.
Agree with the above. Cy has been over this seemingly hyundreds of times.
Power Drive with either, But neither of the other together.
I can say the Power Drive and Spike give me a nice go for a w/o. Just be sure to have the Power Drive on an empty stomach.
Other than that its goal dependent as stated above.
Hope that helps, Let us all know how you react to the boost.

Just to clarify, Power Drive can be taken with Spike tabs? On the Spike q and a article, it states that If taken together, the effects of Spike will be blunted. Which statement is correct?
I think Mod Brian, Thibs, Shugart, TC or dr Ziegenfuss said that if you want to combine them, take spike, wait a few (four?) hours, then take Power Drive.

I recall even Tim Patterson saying that, I just want to know why they say that. Also Bill Roberts has said that it’s no problem to take Spike shooter and Power Drive at the same time. Spike shooters and Spike tabs have different ingredients so they would interact with Power Drive differently, but still no one seems to know why.
Awesome avatar by the way! Dead lifting in a snowstorm…that’s just awesome.
Power Drive can be used for replenishment after a training session or as a pre-workout aid, or both.
If using Spike pre-workout, it’s not that there’s any problem with using Power Drive at the same time – I do it very frequently – but you are unlikely to perceive the difference.
So to get the clearest benefit for your money, if using Power Drive only once for the day, post-workout is a good recommendation.

Thanks for discussing this. I use these products (Spike, Power Drive, and recently Alpha-GPC) throughout the day as study aids. I’m continually looking for ways to maximize the use of each product, whether they be taken alone or in combination to improve my performance in medical school. Thus far they have given me a significant advantage. Any other tips on the use of these products with this goal in mind would be awesome (cost be damned).
