Should I stop taking pre-workout?

[Michelemat]

I like to take a thermogenic/pre-workout sup before my workouts. It undoubtedly helps me get through those last sets or keep running even when my lungs are begging me to stop. However, after my workout I stay revved up for hours. Not only am I jittery but I feel out of it. Able to concentrate, yes, but completely weird. I am a college student so I'm used to caffeine (I even take caffeine pills during finals/midterms and am completely fine). What else in the supplement could be doing this? Any recommendations or advice? Should I stop immediately or is this normal?

What product are you using?

I use the Cellucor products. I usually take C4 extreme with HD in the morning before my cardio, and then again at night before my training sessions on training days.

How much caffeine do you take in prior to your workouts?

[scottyb05]

Sounds like it might be from the yohimbe extract. I would use something without a yohimbe extract or yohimbe bark extract, and go for something more pure.. yohimbine hcl, or alpha-y. Should take anlot of side effects out from a bad experience with yohimbine.. assuming this is what it is.

You aren't suppose to take C4 and Super HD together. That's the issue. I would recommend the HD in the morning and then the C4 on training days in the evening (after like 8 hours).

You are taking a potent fat burner and a stimmed pre workout?

HD and C4 both contain power stimulant blends. IMO I wouldn't recommend taking HD and C4 with in 5-6 hrs of each other. .

I'm not sure why this one is so hard to figure out. Most people don't drink a Rockstar and then down a Monster.

Wow thats a strong double stim,

Follow the advice and switch to one at a time instead of both, drink plenty of water, and if the dose is too much for your weight, adjust it to a lower dosage.

As stated take one at a time or switch to a pre-workout without stimulant effects to just get the pump benefit for lifting

[qstick99]

I would slow down on the stims, aside from doubling up in the mornings you are then taking again prior to weight sessions in the evening, probably not the best idea. I can understand the busy schedule and being tired but you should consider some other options for energy sources, look at getting in a good pre workout meal prior to weight training, slam some amino's and hit a fasted cardio session. Just some ideas, ideally you do not want to have to rely on stims to get you through a gym session.

Do not combine Stims
that is a major major NO NO

Take ONE or the OTHER

You obviously don't know my life or stim tolerance

You'd be surprised....

I did say most. There are always going to be people that use products off-label or in excessive amounts. Not a great strategy for the average user.
