Why You Shouldn't Buy Preworkout

Preworkout powders are supplements designed to be taken before a workout to help you work out harder, faster, stronger. Just like every other supplement that is not an illegal steroid, they are SCAMS. 

You don't know everything that is in it. Preworkouts mostly contain the same ingredients: a stimulant, a pumping agent, and a muscle aid. These often take the form of caffeine, citruline, and beta alanine. HOWEVER, after these ingredients, companies will list a 'proprietary blend' without giving the specifics. They argue that if they list what they put in, other companies will copy them. You would never eat food with a blindfold on, so why take sketchy preworkout?

You are paying for an addictive drug. Even if the ingredients aren't physically addictive, it can become psychologically addictive. If you take a scoop of DickPump Preworkout every time before you work out, you start to believe that the only way you can make progress is if you got a scoop or two of that pink powder. That's how they get you: you incorrectly believe that the preworkout is an essential part of your routine. They got you shelling out dough forever.

The manufacturers could be illegally dosing it with weird shit. Jack3d came under heavy fire a few years ago for dosing their products with too much DMAA, a noted amphetamine and cousin of meth. You will come down HARD from amphetamines which will make you feel like shit. How do you bounce back? You take MORE amphetamines! Physically addictive drugs like these can ruin your life. Not to mention failing drug tests for jobs, schools, sports, etc.

You are overpaying by a fat, sweaty margin. Many of these companies charge $30 for 30 servings. that's $1 every time you want to work out. And, your body will become used to the formula in a few weeks, so then you'll have to take 2 scoops to get the same edge. Now you have to pay $2 for every work out?? Dude, if you're that fucking rich skip out on that shit and buy some Lululemon workout clothes instead.

Making your own pre-workout is 1/10th the cost. If you want to get amped, all you need is caffeine. You can buy 200mg caffeine pills on Amazon for $12 for 100. THAT'S 6 CENTS FOR ONE PILL! That's really all you need.

Preworkout is for the people who go to meetings wearing yak heads and decide which world economy they will overturn next. You are likely not rich enough to buy useless shit. Buy caffeine pills or go au natural.
