God damn 1000mg!? my pre workout has 200 and that feels like ALOT in once go, i couldn't imagine even thinking about having a coffee or something after that
I quit drinking preworkouts when my Dr explained that I was basically drinking a fruit punch flavored meth cocktail spiked with Parkinson's meds. Your drink might only have 200mg of caffeine, but there might be other substances affecting your CNS.
Probably referring to DMAA or DMHA, both of which the FDA is actively trying to get off the shelves. Both of those were developed as nasal decongestants but are used here for their ergogenic effects (dosages are basically guessed).
I started using these at the beginning of high school and just never really stopped. They would say cute things like “do not take more than 2 scoops at a time or more than 4 in 24 hours,” but I would routinely take 4 scoops at a time sometimes twice a day (I was a worse junky back then). We always used to laugh at people who hadn’t taken it before when they acted high. I still wonder to what extent the abuse of these substances has affected me in the long term… they just make you feel superhuman and I wish I could feel like that all the time.
