Could be a couple things bro... Pre workouts work by increasing adrenaline mainly, but if you are not getting enough sleep, taking too much caffeine, or really unhealthy - you wont get anything out of it.
Plus, C4 as a whole isn't really a high stim pre workout... cite - [URL]http://www.muscleandsport.com/top-10-pre-workout-supplements/[/URL]
So basically, it could be a lot of different things, or all of them together. When you eating bro? Your food could be diluting it as well....
