Question on energy drinks

[jordanbrown]

[FONT=&quot]I have a question. Regular preworkout drinks (Superpump, Noxplode, WTF, etc) make me crash really bad afterwards, however if i drink an energy drink such as Rockstar i don't get that crash at all. Why is that? Could it be all that l-arginine or somthing else they put in them? Cause spending $3 each day on an energy drink is getting a little expensive and i would like to find a preworkout drink that doesn't make me crash like that.[/FONT]

You don't need any of that, and energy drinks are just straight up bad for you. If you are tired try a coffee

you don't crash because caffeine has a 4-6 hour half life.. that means it is in your system about 24 hours

is that a good thing? no it is not because it is effecting your sleep quality. you cannot reach stage 3 and 4 sleep when caffeine is in your system

i avoid all these pre workouts and stimulants for this reason and plus it makes no sense to speed up your heart rate ahead of a workout. you are only hurting yourself

You don't NEED ANY preworkout drink. All I have is a coffee.

don't make stims before a workout a habit or you will become addicted

n2kts is something you can use here and there

It probably has to do with the levels of caffeine you ate getting. More caffeine equals more tendency to crash
