UFC Pre-workout Drink

sure he does, but he also knows his shit..especially when It comes to what you can / cannot take before fights.
And as far as USADA is concerned, caffeine isn't an issue. NAC bans any stimulants that they don't specifically approve, but there isn't a threshold listed for caffeine. CSAC's prohibited list is the WADA list. NJ bans any stimulant, but again, no threshold is listed. Chael knows a lot, but he's wrong. There's no threshold for caffeine in any of the major ACs. Nobody has ever been suspended, from what I can tell, for caffeine. Over 200 suspensions, not one for caffeine. Tons for amphetamines or other stimulants. I'm certain they've had people go into fights with a ton of coffee in their system.

This is the same as the "you can't take tylenol" myth. It's simply not true. Some ACs technically ban caffeine, but don't enforce the ban. Some don't ban it. None of the major ACs, and none that I can find, ban it with a threshold.

Chael also said a Chinese gymnast was banned for failing in 2004 at the olympics for advil. Didn't happen. No gymnasts were suspended at the 2004 olympics. No Chinese athletes failed at the 2004 olympics. The 3 recent-ish gymnastics suspension were for ephedrine (a stimulant) and 2 for furosemide (Lasix, a diuretic). Noone has failed at the olympics for ibuprofen, because it isn't banned.

Pre workout drinks are one of the biggest scams.
Get enough sleep and eat well and you should be able to motivate yourself to work as hard as you need to.
Motivation comes from the heart and mind, not a can of stimulants that will most likely damage heart valves.

Just do it !!!!!!!
 
Tried this stuff once. There's better stuff out there.
 
Meh i got a tolerance on that shit quick. Took it for a couple years before heading to the gym. GAT Nitraflex is superior, C4 is so 2015
Bashes C4 brings up something by GAT lmfao. Not gonna waste my time looking at the lables but would bet C4 ultimate is better or on par with anything from GAT.

How bout some Dust Extreme or APS Mesmorph throwing powerhouse pre workouts out there.

I thrashed C4 for too long. Been on GAT for a couple months and is a refreshing change
 
Most are on steroid cycles so they don't need a shitty pleb pre-workout, the elevated test gives them all the motivation they need.
