What do you look for in a pre workout

[Kwiztofa]

Hi guys,

I'm sure you all have a wealth of knowledge and I would like to tap into that.

As members of this site I was hoping you could help?

I would like to know what you all look for in a pre work out.

I'm sure your answers will be varied but I would like to know why you look for what you do and possibly a little bit about yourself too.

Any help would be great.

Class this as market research if you will ...appreciate the help everyone.

So now a pic isn't enough we have to qualify, so be it.
I am a 80%er. My year round goal is 10.5%, 227lbs at 5-11". I have been at this for 42 years. 30 of those years I worked in 20-115 degrees weather hanging sheetrock or wood/metal framing aka busting my ass.

I've never purposely cut below 9% so I don't what that is like. Perhaps I would try something.

So here is my preworkout: I grab my sack with both hands and say FUCK IT ten times and remind myself I'll rest once I stop lifting and walk out of the gym.

Current stats 10.2, 224, 55 years old. 140mgs TP: 40mgs EOD + 1 Black Top/2 pins E5D.

This ^^^

Stopped with the PWO supps years ago. Most of them are just caffeine, creatine and beta-alanine. If you want to take those supps just buy generic ones and save your money.

I get up at 5am to train before work so I will either have a 5-hour energy or just take a caffeine pill or two.

On weekends when I have more time it's just coffee.

I hung rock for 15 years myself from 15 to 30 yrs old... topping out with 5/8ths rock built up my shoulders and neck real fast as a youngster along with lifting of course which i started at 15 also. Past 23 years been an HVAC tech in FLA working in 140 degree attics..What im getting at is never needed to do a serious cutter or preworkout shit. 35 years in construction keeps your BF very manageable. Was never a big doser with the gear either. Always did and still do just enough at lowest dose possible to get results. Im 5-11" 225-230 all year long. TRT and blast once or twice a year and 3iu/day hgh pretty much year round i try.

Beta-alanine, creatine, and caffeine are the main ingredients I look for. I use Optimum Nutrition's pre-workout mix. It covers all of those bases.
