Positive experiences
“Preworkout supplements increase my focus and wakefulness. They improve my workout performance A LOT.”
“The pre-workout seemed to give me allot more physical endurance than the caffeine, and kept me motivated. As well helped me concentrate a surprising amount more than caffeine.”
“Cellucor C4 was the pre workout I started with and I absolutely loved it. It seriously increased the amount of power I felt I had.”
“I feel like I can keep going and do some more sets even though I finished my plan for the day”
“I am currently using (and loving) C4. Very clean product thats worked well”
“What works fucking wonders for me is a scoop of pre-workout supplement; I use Musclepharm Wreckage”
Negative and mixed experiences
“I had a terribly tough time falling asleep. A couple times I couldn't sleep at all. I may be stimulant sensitive.”
“two scoops of C4 has almost no effect on me. I notice almost no difference except maybe the C4 gives me fruit punch flavored burps.”
“when i took c4, after 2 scoops i would get nauseas and light headed but only certain times.. some days id feel great, others id feel like i was about to pass out.”
“Pre work outs I’ve used are a bit strong for me it’s fine for working out but not really for focus or getting stuff done after.”
“I started off with one scoop and ended up with 5 scoops and 5 scoops didn't do anything”
“cut the stim pre-workout around the same time and honestly that probably did more for my sleep than any supplement i've ever taken. 350mg caffeine at 4pm, what was i thinking”
