Review: Cellucor C4 Preworkout - Fruit Punch

Today, I'm going to talk about my all time favorite pre-workout, C4 by Cellucor. Some of you might be asking "what is the point of pre-workout", and there is a lot of debate that's going around with pre-workout. Many believe that it is more of a "placebo" which makes you believe that you are getting a better workout in and others really do stand behind the idea that pre-workout gives you that extra push in the weight room. In my experience, pre-workout has changed the way I perform while executing any type of workout, whether it is a heavy set day or a low rep day. Most pre-workouts contain caffeine and other chemicals to give you energy and focus. One chemical you should look out for is beta alanine. This chemical basically acts as a muscle booster and many times causes an effect called paresthesia which is basically a tickling sensation near the subcutaneous regions of your skin (usually around your fingers and face). Don't worry if you feel this sensation because there has been no long-term negative side effects. The C4 pre-workout comes in a powder form with a rather small sized scooper. One scoop will be sufficient for the first week or two of use but then your body will adapt to the chemical levels so you could up the concentration by another half scoop or two. If you feel very dizzy or your increased heart rate causes discomfort, you should definitely discontinue use and find other ways to better your workouts. Nevertheless, this product has improved my lifts and has given be a better pump in the gym. I recommend this anyone who feels "too tired" to workout or for those of you who don't understand the concept of "beast mode". You can buy this product on amazon HERE.
