im a pretty casual lifter, i dont know if i really need to be putting that shyt in my body anywayIt has the same caffeine content but no breatine, beta alanine, bitulline, or B vitamins.![]()

If you're new to pre-workout you don't/shouldn't be taking a full scoop until your body adjusts. The tingles mean you had a large amount at one time. I would advise doing half a scoop and working your way up to a full scoop over time.Ok I took it for the first time today, the tingles are no bueno. My face, lips and finger tips were giving me the crack head itch. There was definitely an element of aggression brewing inside me.
However on my way to the gym, I could feel waves of energy rushing through my body. I imagine it feels like when animals get the zoomies, my legs were light and I genuinely felt like I was about to take flight. I didn’t get to complete my work out but I felt more focused and definitely was more connected to the muscles I was working. Im pissed I didn’t get to finish my work out but will definitely get some cardio this evening.

Also you can take a half scoop 20mn beforehand. Then add the other half with 12+ ounces and drink that over the course of your first few exercises.
Please drink a lot of water too.

But the poster is taking pre-workout with beta alanine are they not?Incorrect, good sir.
The paresthesia ("tingles") are simply a side-effect of ingest beta alanine. A #POWDA without BA won't give you that sensation.![]()
Most #POWDA heads also grow desensitized to the feeling over time.![]()

All I did was state what's on the package and what's written here: take less. I never said don't take preworkout.

Why Pre-Workout Makes Your Skin Tingle
If the duration of the itching sensation isn't too long and it's not too difficult for you to deal with, it's probably okay to continue using your pre-workout supplement normally – especially if you ewww.gainful.com
If the itching does bother you but you like the pre-workout supplement you are currently using, another option is to reduce your dosage. Depending on the timing of supplementation and your body's rate of absorption, a lower amount of the supplement in question may help you avoid most of the negative side effects. If you're currently taking a full scoop of powder, try going down to a half scoop. If you're taking a half scoop, try going with a quarter.
^That's the false part. I can pop two g's of BA right now from off my counter and feel some tingles, even without the rest of the #POWDA ingredients. Yes, generally speaking, the more you take at once the more likely you are to feel it. The hell can't they take a whole scoop for?mean you had a large amount at one time.

We know and I don't even know what the hell a "casual lifter" is.
Your body naturally makes ≈1g of breatine a day, hardly enough to compare to supplementation, but it's in there. It's also found in meat and fish.
Beta alanine and citrulline are just B and a amino acids, and B vitamins are literally just vitamins.
So of that list what don't you know if you really need to be putting in your body anyway?![]()
Most of these pre workout ingredients are safe. They have already been heavily researched. And the only thing you have to worry about. Is dmaa, sucralose, and dyes. Again you can always make your own. The bare minimum you need is caffeine, L-citrulline, beta alanine, and electrolytes.
