My brother tried one of my pre WO's when I worked out with him a while ago and it didn't do much for him but it helps me a lot. Some people are less sensitive to stimulants so the effects aren't as high.

Do you take them with food? Do you drink a lot of caffeinated beverages?

You're not immune to stimulants, but you could have adrenal fatigue or are taking them on a full stomach thus lessening the effects. My advice is to stop ingesting all stimulants for 3-4 weeks, then try a pre workout on an empty stomach and see how that goes. I think you'll find it's a much different experience.

yea ive taken it on empty stomach i might try a new one again in a month and see how it goes thanks for the replies guys

Your options are :

1) increase the dosage
2) take on an empty stomach
3) wait a few weeks to reduce tolerance
4) warm up properly and get in the right mindset instead of taking a PWO in the first place.

Not to knock your height, but typically I've noticed people that aren't real tall drank a lot of caffeinated beverages or took caffeine regularly when they were younger. That might explain your tolerance to a PWO drink. Do you fit in either category above? Maybe you've taxed your endocrine system?

rhadam has a point. before i got mono my stim responsiveness was next to nothing, but after being off of anything for two months, a cup of coffee about sent me into fits.

You could just give yourself some time off. Personally, I really like K-otic and find that caffeine really gives me a ton of energy (has 300 mg, and I only use half the scoop). I know C4 has caffeine as well, but they don't list how much they have in it.
