Are pre workouts just trash these days?

Ive all but given up on pre workouts. At this point I buy the cheap shit from walmart just as a go through the motion type thing cause it seems to have the same effect as a tub of 60 dollar stuff. Recently tried “podium” which was offered at some event i took my wife to. Her friend tried it and was wigging out and i bought some. And meh. Tasted good but meh. Same thing w woke and all the other new stuff out there. Meso morph and krytonite used to be the shit. Same with one called stimul8. Nothing seems to do anything other than empty my wallet. Considering gorilla mode but not sure. Thoughts?
 
I think stim pre’s are nice at times when you’re dragging but they’re far from a staple. I’m using condemned labz Convict and only a half scoop which is under 100mg caffeine. I like the other stims and nootropics in it.

I also will use a stim free “pump” product sometimes. Anything high in citrulline, agmatine or nitrates hits the spot for me. I rotate a few different companies offerings.

For a lot of people, simply taking something prior to training in itself gets them ready to go. This could be as simple as a caffeine pill imo.
 
subscribe to Fitness Deal News on YouTube. He reviews tons of preworkouts and knows what’s good. There’s finally a few good ones out again after a couple years of total garbage.

Just forget about premade shit. What are you, a teenager? Start using racetams (pehylpiracetam, piracetam, etc.), beta agonists (albuterol, clen), alpha 2a antagonists (yohimbine), adrenergics (ephedrine), NRI's (atomoxetine), amphetamines, ATP, mitochondria enhancers, semax, ... list goes on. Caffeine, fucking amateur hour : ) I'm so baffled that people on an aas forum buy this shit.

Do racetams and nooteopics actually do something?
 
ECG stack is amazing

Ephedrine, caffeine, gabapentin. You will hit PR’s like never before. Take the gabapentin 3 hours priorio workout, take the brokaid 39 mi prior workout and take the caffeine once at gym.

The gaba and caffeiene has a synergy of absolutely manic energy and the bronkaid adds to that, super strength
 
Been using pre jym for years. Tried lots of other stuff, but it’s still the one I like most.

I do miss the original jack3d. That stuff was awesome.
 
I hate beta alanine, it's tingling effects are annoying in the gym.

I only take the ones without it, not too much caffeine and at least decent amount of citrulline malate.

The cost and taste puts me off though...

So to conclude, yes I think they're a waste of money and taste receptors. At least with something like bcaa's you get to drink tasty liquid and get some protein, so I like it.

Beta-alanine is still a sensation, honestly I don’t understand why it is needed. But caffeine is a good pre-workout
 
I.make.my.own pre workout using arginine citrulline creatine mixed in a sugar free electrolyte mix, pumps are the same.more.or less, I've thought about buying bulk.beta alanine for days when I'm.dragging ass, bit haven't done it yet

Now that's something interesting. Don't you find decent pump from CM?

Also, beta alanine, doesn't it annoy you? Tingling after set I mean.

@MR_Midas Me too, I like caffeine but some supps go crazy with caffeine like 400mg which is def too much at once.
