I use Prejym and love it. I like C4, but love prejym.

Better, fuller pump, more energy/longevity...

This brings up another point of discussion. What's your guys' "sweet spot" for eating before a workout? I usually hit the weights at 5:30, but I can't have any kind of snack after 3:30-4:00pm. I usually have a full lunch around 12:30.

I can and do eat roughly 1 hr prior maybe slightly longer for heavy legs or deads

If you want something effective and clean, try prework out from JYM. No crazy "proprietary formulas", just good clean science.
All of the JYM products are great.

RN I'm using just one cup black coffee pre workout

I'm sure this has been brought up already in this thread but I'm too lazy to search through every page of it: how safe is pre-workout in the long-term?

I always see C4 at Costco but I never pick it up because I'm afraid I'll damage my body in the long run. To my knowledge, there aren't many studies out there (like there are for whey) supporting the notion that pre-workout is safe.

Like anything else- all in moderation, and cycle it on/off.

I.e.- 2 months use it, 1 month off. Repeat.

C4 is absolute garbage though. Check out "aps mesomorph" or "Jym" for preworkouts. Anything that has "proprietary blends" should be avoided at all costs. I like to know exactly what I put in my body.

I've been using C4 ever since it's been out and I have no side effects of any sort. Works like a charm for my needs. I use it 4-5 days a week and cycle off and on every other quarter. I never use it on leg day though.

To each their own.

Don't you want side effects like racing heart, urge to throw shit around, raging boner and so on?

Of course I do. I should've said no bad side effects.

[Desmondmartin]

Pre jym, great flavor👌🏻

[gramboda]

I make my own using bulk supplements. I find i have better control over the ingredients, etc. Lots of recipes out there

[35Past1]

Making your pre work out can definitely be beneficial, however the ingredients should be carefully researched if you don't have much experience doing so.

That being said, deux scoops of the C4 will get me going. But for PR days a scoop of Nitroflex will get that ass in gear !

[1MOREMOD]

Used c4 again for first time in while. Didn't notice anything as far as feeling jacked or geared up but lifted well. Just seemed lighter. Not bad. Have been using superpump don't care for it.

I started reading the nutrition label and I got to the part where it says "8 types of caffeine - 400mg TOTAL". HELL NO. and that's before they get to the stimulant blend. This is the type of preworkout that is going to make you want to have personal conversations with everyone in the gym at 5am.

There is no beta alanine, BCAA's, or creatine which are essentially the bread and butter for all preworkouts.

[G35POPPEDMYCHERRY]

amphetamines work really well
