What do you drink besides coffee to get your energy levels boost quick before hitting the gym? Any over the counter drinks I can buy?

    I drink a Monster Java - Loca Moca flavor. Love it. And it has B vitamins, vitamin c, protein and calcium, so I am getting some nutrition from it also. It also keeps me from being hungry until later in the afternoon. I can't work out after eating, so I have to drink my breakfast. This is it for me.

    Thanks mom, I forgot to mention I work out after my job, which it's around 7:30 pm so I definitely don't want the long caffeinated effects. I wouldn't be able to sleep.

    Usually, on my max effort days, or when I re-test maxes, I do a whole can of Monster zero, and one scoop on my pre-workout. You won't die, you'll be fine.

    But normally it's just my preworkout and about 50-100g of PURE cards (gummi bears/worms, twizzlers, sour patch kids, etc.)

    I'm not worried about dying, I'm worry about not able to rest, Ive had a cup of regular coffee around 6pm and I been up till midnight and can't rest.

    Glad stacking preworkout and monster works for you with no bad effects. Not sure if case for everyone

    Don't think many medical professionals would be on board with this stack.
