Straight talk

How do you choose a pre-workout?

No hype and no upsell you did not ask for. Here is how Maria helps people pick the right one at the counter, so you can do the same online.

  • Decide stim or non-stim first. Stim formulas are built around caffeine, which may support alertness, focus and training performance; non-stim formulas leave the caffeine out for evening sessions or caffeine-sensitive lifters.
  • Check the caffeine per serving and start with a half serving to assess your tolerance before moving to a full serving.
  • Look for citrulline and beta-alanine, commonly included to support training performance and muscular endurance. Beta-alanine can cause a harmless tingling (paresthesia), which is normal and not an allergic reaction.
  • Individual sensitivity to caffeine varies, so many people keep stimulant formulas to earlier in the day and reach for a non-stim option at night.

Pre-Workout Supplements FAQ

What does a pre-workout actually do?

Most pre-workouts are built around caffeine, which may support alertness, focus and training performance. Many also add citrulline and beta-alanine, commonly included to support training performance and muscular endurance. Effects vary from person to person.

What is the difference between stim and non-stim pre-workout?

Stim pre-workouts contain caffeine for the alertness and focus it may support; non-stim formulas leave the caffeine out and lean on ingredients like citrulline, commonly included to support training performance. Non-stim is a common choice for evening sessions or caffeine-sensitive lifters.

When should I take pre-workout?

A common approach is to take it before training so the ingredients have time to take effect. Start with the lowest suggested serving to assess your tolerance. Individual sensitivity to caffeine varies, so many people keep stimulant formulas to earlier in the day.

Why does pre-workout make me tingle?

That tingling is paresthesia, a harmless and well-documented effect of beta-alanine. It is not an allergic reaction. If it bothers you, a lower dose or a beta-alanine-free formula avoids it.
