    I wouldn't bother, unless you want to have a shot of coffee or some form of caffeine.

    I use my mental drive to push myself, I don't feel like preWO do anything for me!

    I would suggest as the person above to only use preworkouts on days you're tired. Only if you can afford it. If its gonna hurt your bank, coffee/caffeine pills do the trick. When I first started working out the sole reason why I was getting to the gym was preworkouts. All that extra energy that had to be expended. Was a good thing however when I first did a cycle off preworkout those were the worst days I had in the gym. Moral of the story don't become dependent on them. (was using old school craze so that could be why, that stuff was so good and so bad lol)

    One of my favorite ones was betacount b-nox not overwhelming on the caffiene just stupid amounts of mental focus.

    Do your research. Find out what's in pre-workouts, what their intended uses are and if there's any research their effectiveness. Then decide whether it's worth the money.

    Fix the issues with diet and sleep before relying on a jolt of caffeine to get to the gym

    www.examine.com and www.labdoor.com are a good place for supplement. But in general, you shouldn't worry about supplements until you address a lot of other stuff:
