Alright /fit red-pill be on preworkout.
Got some cheap shit from Walmart that makes my asshole pic related. (Pic isn't what I got it was some body fortress shit)
I've tried lowering the dose to work into it, going all the way down to 1/8 of a dose and I still sweat like a pig, and have to drop everything and shit ribbons of lighting every ten mins.
I'm aware that it could be because it's cheap shit, but I've also heard that some people just can't deal. Which is weird because I can empty half a bottle of Sriracha a dish and be fine.
Wtf?
I've just been downing cups of coffee before I workout instead but i realize that there are benefits to a good preworkout.

There's no benefits unless you need caffeine to work out because you're lazy.
In fact, I'd say you're hindering your gains because part of your body is working on digestion instead and therefore wasted energy.
Here is some actual science OP.
L-Arginine and Growth Hormone
Study: Double Blind, 2 – 4 Weeks, 30 Subjects, ages 18 - 44
Result:4 weeks supplementation of L-arginine L-asparate (2.8-4.7g arginine) has failed to modify physical performance or any measured endocrine parameter in otherwise trained athletes.

Study: Double Blind, 24 Hours, 8 Subjects, ages 18 - 44
Result: 5 or 9g of Arginine taken in a fasted state in otherwise healthy males was able to increase peak growth hormone concentrations

Study: Double Blind, 24 Hours, 28 Subjects, ages 13 – 17 and 65+
Results: In young adults and elderly adults given 5g L-Arginine prior to weight lifting exercises, there was no improvement of growth hormone concentrations from exercise (in fact, a blunting of GH was almost significant in the youth). Without exercise, overall AUC of growth hormone was unaffected.

Beta Alanine as a Pre-Work Out
Muscular Endurance:The lone meta-analysis suggests a small benefit: a median 2.85% increase in muscular endurance when exercising for 60-240 s (usually measured by time to exhaustion).
Studies: 8
Level of Evidence: High
Anaerobic Running Capacity: A mildly positive effect, possibly secondary to an increase in muscular endurance and to a reduction in fatigue, rather than being due to any cardiopulmonary interaction.
Studies: 4
Level of Evidence: High
Power Output: No significant effect on acute power output.
Studies: 5
Level of Evidence: High
