My go-to preworkout powder is usually original C4 powder.
I get less of an immediate prickly "body rush" with this preworkout, but the physical energy boost and resistance to muscle fatigue seems waaaay stronger.
The effects come on a tad slower, but there are no issues with this IMO.
For example, I usually try to do burnout sets on incline bench, but I can just hammer right up to my previous amount of reps with no issues. I usually have to take a break to meet the previous limits.
I have gone up on my flat bench and squat records the past week using this preworkout.
That leads me to the mental effects. This has about 300 mg of caffeine per scoop, so it is quite strong.
There is also something that seems to increase mental focus. Without sounding cheesy, I remember sitting and waiting for a cable machine to be free but it felt like I had some sort of "focus tunnel vision" and was quite literally looking around the gym like a wolf focusing in on prey through a treeline. I'm dead serious and this is the only way that I could describe the effect. The mental focus boost is as strong as the physical boost and very much on a different level.
Don't chug coffee and monster all day and use this because it will probably be too much to handle as far as stimulants go, but this is definitely going to be my new go-to for preworkouts.
