Hello,
So I started lifting to help my back get stronger (scoliosis) and it really helped, after getting into this, I started lifting more and have gotten pretty into it recently.
My dad is a former bodybuilder, and he did it all natural, that said, the technology and science behind it back then way very different.
I recently made a trip to wal-mart to get more protein powder and decided to get pre-workout to try it out. I haven't really noticed much but it's only been a week or two. I have been going pretty hard in the gym, but i can't really tell if it's the pre-work out or other factors.
So my question is this: is pre-workout a meme or legit? Thanks.

Just fucking drink coffee, it's all caffeine anyway

If you don't feel it, then you arent taking enough of it.

It said to start with one serving and take two serving later..think I should graduate to two?

preworkout is supposed to get you amped and given you a better pump with more focus. If you don't feel hype as fuck to lift, the shit ain't working. Mr.Hyde or mesomorph are my go-to preworkouts.

Mr. Hyde is good, it gives me bad nausea though. Nitraflex is also great, I def recommend the Pina Colada flavor. If there's any one I can vehemently advise against, it's Jack3d. It used to be great before it was reformulated, now it's shit.

I would go with this guy.
Pre-work out made me depressive on the days I wouldn't take it. Now I eat a square of 70% dark chocolate as a pre-workout.

Go to the website labdoor and click ranking and preworkout. Stay within the top 5 range. Any else is obsolete.
I say it is legit and a meme. Preworkout gets pricy as youll need a new one every 2 - 3 month. And its effect are only for short burst of energy. The tingling sensation is a just a gimick with most cheap companies loading their product with them so the consumer can "feel it".
Use it if you want a slight increase in performace. Or save your money and buy something worth while like protein from myprotein or a clean weight gainer from myprotein to start a bulk off right.
Remember sleep trumps everything. A goods 8hours is always better than a preworkout.

tingling sensation?
i've been having pins and needles feeling in my hands, feet, face, ears..could this be the reason? I chalked it up to nerve damage (which I know i have), it's painful
>>42238085
Yeah thats the preworkout.
Maybe its even more amplified because of your previous injuries.
I've been taking my lifts a bit further with it.

damn... its really unpleasant

It goes away after using it for a few weeks.

Pre-workout is a meme.
Coffee is for old men and French people.
Learn how to sip.

Sipping is for faggots who can't put a scoop of preworkout into a cup of water. PWO mix is cheaper and stronger!
