Real shyt (ignore my previous post, I had multiple interviews yesterday morning so you damn right I amped up
)Why tf do people look at pre working like they talking about running tren
The average pre workout has maybe 2x the amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee, so it’s like drinking two cups… I can think of countless things that are regularly consumed that are more detrimental to your health than 3-4x a week use of a pre workout. Hell, drinking once a week is probably worse for you long term than the powda
So the average cup of coffee has around 90mg of caffeine.Real shyt (ignore my previous post, I had multiple interviews yesterday morning so you damn right I amped up

I searched preworkout powder on amazon and the 1st one I found had 135mg of caffeine -- not terrible. But caffeine also is not the only stimulant in preworkout powder.
But let's only focus on the caffeine here. If a cup of coffee and a scoop of preworkout powder have a difference of just 45mg of caffeine, at best you're getting a microscopic, statistically insignificant increase from that powder.
So...you're throwing away $20-30 for almost nothing in return.
That's plain stupid.
And that's ignoring the things OTHER than caffeine that's in these supplements, that people are using as a crutch for training...for years and years.
That said --- honestly...do you and live how you want to live, brother.

No bad blood breh we are all just trying to get it
That said, your original assertion was brehs dying young or having health complications due to pre workout (w/ a focus on the stimulants), not price. If you want to have a cost/benefit analysis that’s an entirely different subject (That I personally don’t care for)
If you look at the median American (let’s just say for instance everyone uses pre workout) & look at their lifestyle and diet, pre-workout consumption is probably the lowest of the low hanging fruit that one would need to adjust when focusing on longevity & health.
Do I think stimulant consumption by itself is beneficial? No. Do I think the health benefits you get from exercise offsets any negative effects of stimulant consumption in the long term? Yes.
All these body builders dying ain’t from the pre workout lol.
