The perfect pre-workout for beginners!
I am 16, I began lifting on this pre workout. For the past several years, I've tried to get into weight lifting, but I've never found the motivation. This is my honest review of the product, I bought it myself and it took me about two months to finish it. When I took this, since I don't really drink caffeinated drinks that much, it gave me an unreal boost of energy for the first few days and I was super jittery in the workouts. It has 175mg caffeine, or the amount in 2-4 cups of coffee. It faded pretty quickly as I built up a slight immunity to it, and still worked great as an energy booster for the next month of taking it everyday. After that, I started to cycle one day on/one day off so its effects heightened when I took it. Now, I'm sad it's gone, but it doesn't really have a huge effect on me anymore, besides the placebo of an energy boost. I've built exercise into my daily routine and don't struggle with motivation anymore, so I probably won't buy anymore pre workout and find the energy in myself somehow.
It's perfect for you IF: you don't have a high caffeine tolerance, and you are new to working out. In this scenario, it will have the best effects on you. It's not a crazy amount where you will get a heart attack unless you have a very small body and a very low caffeine tolerance, then I'd be wary. I'm 6'1 180lbs, and I was fine. It will give you all the energy you need and make you happy and willing to go to the gym. Just take that first step, taking that preworkout- then everything else follows suit. It seemed like a lot of money at first, only for 30 servings, but it lasted me way longer than I thought and I can see a major gap between myself and my friends who didn't use any pre workout. I am pretty strong naturally, but still, never having worked out lower body before, I am now at 185 bench, 240 squat, and 385 deadlift 2 months into working out. I've come a lot further than them in these past 2 months, and I attribute an amount of that to my boost in energy because of this product.
Don't buy this IF: You drink a lot of caffeinated drinks, and have a high caffeine tolerance. It's basically just a ton of caffeine, so if you've taken other pre workouts before or drink coffee a lot it probably won't have a huge effect on you. If you really want to use some pre workout, don't drink caffeine for a month to loose your immunity to it then buy this.
I have to say it again... if you struggle with motivation and energy AT ALL, like I did, this pre workout is a MUST. It will change your entire outlook on exercise. Good luck out there!
