Preworkout stims are wonderful for releasing free fatty acids - the catecholamines enhance lipolysis in mammals.

taking stimulants before workouts/cardio
I got into the habit of taking a mild dose of stimulants (green tea extract, guarana extract, yohombine, etc) about 30 minutes before working out.
I believe my workout density improved as a result.
Are there any drawbacks to taking stimulants before working out on a regular basis?
I read somewhere that continued use of stimulants burns out your endocrine system, or something along those lines.
Is that true?

What Built said.
You'll only get adrenal burnout if you are using pretty significant amounts of stimulants for a prolonged period of time.

yeah, eventually you will be tolerant to stims, and will need a break. a cycling approach is best, maybe for every 4 weeks on, take 2 off. this may avoid "burnout" and will slow your body building a tolerance.

Yup. When the normal stack stops working, try throwing meth into the mix. I hear it works well. Originally Posted by Built
