Works pretty good. Kind of addicting tho
>>
>>36249523
Not a fan of the stuff. My systolic went up 40 points, and that was 2 hours AFTER working out.
>>
I use it when I really need a boost. If you use it everyday you'll build up a tolerance and won't feel anything from it.
>>
I got back into lifting in december after taking 6 months off and was just drinking coffee before lifting. bought a pre-workout on monday and there is a very clear difference.

I went from taking two scoops of blackstone labs angel dust to two scoops of pic related. I tried a few others in between and my numbers dropped before i found pic related.

You dont use it for a energy booster any pre worth a shit has stuff in it to help you recover between lifts so you can do more in total
>>
>tfw stacking your PWO with DMAA
>>
>>36249691
preworkout has several advantages depending on what kind you get. I enjoy the boost and pump. If you have to rely on pre to get your lifts in you're doing it wrong. You'll build up a tolerance too quick.
>>
>>36249523
I enjoy it. It really gets me super pumped to lift.
>>
Ehh tried it for the first time today desu. Hit a deadlift PR still don't know if it helped me. I was very energetic but I usually get that away on PRs.

Summary: yes it's probably a meme

I bought some from Costco because it was cheap and even then it was a ripoff.drink coffee and don't be a faggot.
>>
I use it as a pick me up when I can't get coffee.
Just used it tonight after class because I felt like I was going to knockout.
>>
I just bought this, 390g i think it was, watermelon.

Im thinking i will use it when im feeling down or just not so energetic. not something to use for every workout, its not a supplement its more a booster
>>

Research how to make your own, and then make your own. Way more valuable for less money, minus the excessive shit they put in it.

All you really need for energy is caffiene. To assist with muscle recovery, lactose dispersion, endurance, etc, yeah various preworkouts will have various ingredients included to help with all that as well. You can build your own preworkout mix and flavor it however you like if you just buy the raw ingredients you beed. Way cheaper.
>>
>>36249924
Why the fuck would you spend so much money on something like a preworkout that is clearly designed for other purposes when you could have just bought like 90 caffiene pills for $5?

Make better decisions in life you goddamned moron.

I've personally come to enjoy this one a lot. I try to switch things up & take tolerance breaks from whatever it is I'm using. This stuff can be found for relatively cheap online. Less than a dollar a serving & I love the effect it has.
>>
>>36250232
This.

Shit gets me wired, and the added test boost is nice too. Only ever need 1 scoop.
>>
I go to the gym at 4am before I go to work so i pretty much rely on it to wake me up in the morning.
>>
>>36250099
Im just doing me, never felt that caffein pills worked for me. Never have i had a drink of coffee and felt better/more energetic; It only makes my toilet sessions really wet.
>>
>>36249523
C4 a shit. I keep a container of Methyl Pump in my cupboard for the days I'm too tired for coffee to really do anything
>>
>>36249815
pretty much.
apart from that it doesn't really do it for me.
if you don't have some demonic type of resistance build up like me it probably works fine though.
>>
i take caffeine pills because if i drink coffee i will get a stitch during my warm-up and it can also give me stomach ache.

i will try the different pre-workouts in the future when caffeine doesn't do it for me any more

My Nigga
Currently using blue raspberry myself with green apple amino energy stacked in. taste like jolly ranchers candy

I use it and I notice it helping me, no placebo. I've gone weeks with and without it and I always have more energy and better workouts when I'm on it.
