This may sound heavy to some for a pre workout but it always worked great for me.

Just throw some whey,banana, oats, Natty PB and milk and cinnamon in blender

One hour before workout. Always ALWAYS kept me going strong through workout and jogging.

Bought transparent labs pre today because it was on sale. Trying it tomorrow. It’s got great ratings but it can’t compete with the real OG stuff that’s banned.

For me I stick to 200mg of caffeine 300 is too much.

Bro even 200 is a lot. I won’t buy it if it’s over 100. The optimal nutrition amino energy in a can is right at 100. I like that one.

I "make my own" PWO.

Caffeine - one large to two medium cups of coffee - 100-150mg.
Combo of 'get a better pump' supplements (basically just arginine and citrulline).
BCAAs/EAAs mixed in my water on the way to the gym.
Raw Honey squeezed in my mouth straight from the bottle. Locally sourced for dat der allergy benefits.

There's only so much 'real evidence' for the Arg/Cit and BCAAs/EAAs - mostly just anecdotal YMMV type of stuff. It just doesn't seem like a true PWO without them though, right?

If someone came out with that now and sold it underground they’d get rich.

Me I still spend good money on shiit that would have been considered baby food back then.

The stuff I just bought see above works for me now but I know by the time I get to the end of the container it won’t have the same effect but it’s still better than nothing.

I like the tingly feeling the boost of energy and the better pump with it. And I got it for $10 off which makes it reasonable for 30 doses.

$39 and it’s the new formula not the old. After I finish this I’ll buy a non stim pre workout and use that up. It won’t work as well but it’ll wean me off the caffeine and I’ll use that up and go back to a stim one. It’s how I do it. Works for me. Everyone is different.

Just remember taking that Xenadrine stuff (the real stuff) back when it was all legal and you'd just not eat for 3 days and weight would melt off. Your penis didn't work well either but that was the price of the good stuff lol.

Caffeine and nicotine is all you really need. Lol at all the other stuff you can "feel" that isn't worth a damn.

PWOs are just cafeeine mixes now.

Not like the amphetamine analogs of the old days.

Now either just drink a cup of coffee or hit a line of speed. There is no legal loophole inbetween anymore.

venom with Geranium Extract is pretty good. I think its technically not a supplement and for research purposes early, so they can put different stuff in it.
or you can buy dmaa online and just add it to any preworkout you want I guess

I can't take that much caffeine. I'm a hyper responder with high blood pressure and insomnia.

I'll take some cit or a nitric oxide pump formula though


Have fun with your 300mg brothers
