So, I usually don't need the energy at the gym, but I got a good kick of energy once from using C4. It made me feel like I wanted to flip a car. That was the first time ever I used it, years ago in college.

Every time after that, it had no effect on me other than tingly feelings in the forehead and legs. I've even taken 3 scoops of it in one serving and it still had no effect.

This goes for every other pre-workout I've ever tried. So... I decided to try C4 one more time, after about 2 years of not using any pre-workout, but it still had no effect on me.

Before anyone asks, I never drink coffee or take any other stimulants. I touch nothing with caffeine in it.

Do I just have a naturally high tolerance to these things? Should I just stop wasting my money on it all?

It's possible that your body has a high tolerance to it, imo. Some people just don't feel anything with different substances. There's a guy I work with who almost never drinks coffee, and even when he does, he gets no boost, no energy, no anything from it.

And it really is just a waste of money. If you want some extra energy and focus, just drink a strong cup of black coffee and maybe have a banana. I know you don't drink coffee, but that would be your best bet. Even if you only drink it before workouts.

caffeine pills are better and cheaper than coffee or other supps

taking prework out is a routine for me, a tradition.
i usually feel it, somedays more than others.

but for the most part, its part of my routine, half hour, or so before i leave for the gym, i drink pre.
its just the first part i take in regards to getting ready and focused to swell.

all preworkouts contain caffeine im pretty sure don't they?

That is true. I hadn't thought about caf pills.

Yeah, coffee is the same with me. My friend brags how a strong cup of coffee keeps him going half the day. I drank a few mugs of super caffeinated coffee in college once while studying, and I felt nothing.

I'm just more curious why C4 gave me that super tunnel vision the first time, but every time after that was nothing more than an itchy forehead.

could be placebo

meth before 8 hour arm workout

Probably took c4 back when pre workouts weren't regulated and they had actual "designer" amphetamines in them. Was very similar to GNC selling actual steroids, but their molecular makeup didn't resemble roids. It wasn't until your body absorbed it, that it turned to steroids sort of.

Jack3d preworkout was known for this and also original c4.

Try caffeine pills or, expensive preworkout.. GAT Nitraflex. Works for me but nothing like taking an amphetamine. Embrace the tingles!

placebo really work tho
