Do you even lift?
That is the performance enhancement, not the stim. If you need intensity from a stim, you ain't training right first and foremost, your mind isn't into the training itself, its so easy to psyche yourself up for a workout, taking a sup to complete a proper workout is counterintuitive.
The bodybuilding supplement industry convinced you that you need a pre workout. Caffine has always been a staple for extending athletic performance, not as a crutch for proper training.
They know the addictive properties of caffeine and utilize that knowledge to its fullest effect, soon you won't be able to work out unless you take your pre workout drink, with all kinds of nervous disorders and jitters unless you get your next hit. They are dealing dope and you don't even know it.
Take a stim if you need to stay up all night clubbing, not to friggin train your mind and body.
Stupid
I'm going to give you some green rep and KIM just because I agree with the message behind your post. Stimulant free >>>>> stimulants and that isn't even a debate. I'm all about the health aspect of it.
I do think that your anti-stim argument is incredibly weak in the context of what we are talking about here though, which is performance in the weight room. But I'm done arguing about it because you aren't even responding to the points I'm making about why they work. Like I said though, your message is good so I don't want to come off like I'm a stim freak because I'm not. It is a new thing for me and I like it right now and will cycle on and off of it as I feel my body needs a rest.
