Lol at pre workouts. Isnt that what Jay Cutler & Heath used to take to «fuel their workouts»? It isnt 2008 anymore brah. You should know that fitness supps are nothing but gimmicks.

Chit that actually works is illegal

Honestly, blasting increases your strength by a lot. Probably more than any stimulant would.

If you can pass sober, I'd stay this way. I like my kidneys, so I never messed around with supps. I would think about those and maybe another releasing agent like ep. Plus, sleeping well, etc.

Just walk in your local speedway gas station, and grab 2 c4 on the go for $5.

Drink one and see if you like it. If you do, then drink the other one before your physical test.

Then don't buy any more, nor buy preowrkout. This way you won't be in the whole a whole tub of pre just for push ups and sit ups.

Yes, Bronkaid has ephedrine in it. Unfortunately, it also has Guaifenesin in it which can act as a muscle relaxer, counteracting the effect of the ephedrine in it. They added that stuff even after they banned ephedrine back in the mid 2000s to make it harder for meth cooks to make meth from it.

That sure worked out great for them.

I use ON Gold Standard PWO and it does make a difference. I think the beta alanine is what really makes it hit harder than just coffee.

Which doesnt really make things worse for using it for cardio or like OP's issue with just having some stamina. If it was for raw power or used as a pre workout for actually lifting heavy weight for low reps I wouldnt reccomend it. Also highly doubt OP will be able to get his hands on legit ephedrine on its own unless he is in a country that allows it OTC.

The bronkaid at walmart has ephedrine sulfate in it. Is that a lot different than ephedrine hcl??

Having Guaifenesin is still counterproductive to the overall goal of stimulation. I prefer stims that give me a focus/nootropic effect, like the one I mentioned 2-Aminoisoheptane HCl (DMHA) rather than ephedrine. Ephedrine is more for fat loss than anything else, IMO. There's so many more superior preworkouts out there. But yes, if op lives in the US, he will not be able to get any ephedrine without Guaifenesin in it.

But there's always the black market.

No, not really ephedrine sulfate is just ephedrine bound to sulfuric acid, while hcl is hydrochloride acid. In simple terms, there's no difference - you just get a little more with hcl rather than sulphate.
Ten mg of ephedrine sulfate contains 7.71 mg of free base. Ten mg of ephedrine hydrochloride contains 8.19 mg of free base; this represents 6% more free base and potentially 6% greater potency.

I use caffeine pills. Way cheaper. No pre-workout solidifying either. Easy and fast to take.

If i had endless money, i'd choose the carbonated energy drinks. C4 made some great ones and Xtend is also great.
