    I eat food usually. Banana, tuna, oatmeal, bagel. Whatever I can find early in the morning. Some dog food. I lied about that last one, that's not true.
    So no bagel?

    What do you put in it?

    ^This...

    Buy the ingredients in bulk and mix it with water, ice, and a flavoring agent like Mio or Crystal Light. You could also use Gatorade instead of water.

    Here are some of the ingredients you should consider using, with the proper dosage:

    System Saturaters (no pre-workout benefit, must build up in your system over time for benefits):

    Carnosyn Beta-Alanine: 3-4 g/day
    Creapure Micronized Creatine Monohydrate: 3-5 g/day

    Pre's and Nootropics:

    Caffeine: 200mg or preference preworkout
    Betaine Anhydrous: 2.5-3 g/preworkout
    Agmatine Sulfate: 1 g/preworkout
    Citrulline Malate: 6-7 g/preworkout
    Thanks for this, it’s very helpful. I’ve tried a couple of pre samples and they fade around the 20 minute mark, so that didn’t do much for me. Not sure if they’re worth the monies at this point, but I do like the focus. Never felt the famed tingle - so sad.

    Focus, energy, endurance, pump, etc... all benefits from specific ingredients.

    The tingling comes from the beta-alanine, but it fades in a matter of weeks with continued use. It's actually quite annoying at first, but then you learn to like it.

    Citrulline malate is a pretty cool ingredient that helps with endurance. It's derived from watermelons.
