pre-workout

— Much like protein powder, the best pre-workout powders on the market today are a far cry from what they were in the early aughts. The first time I was introduced to pre-workout was during my freshman year of college, when a fellow member of the wrestling team peer-pressured kindly encouraged me to suck down a shaker tin full of ambiguous, neon-blue liquid before a group lift. […] I probably use the PRE-SF (SF meaning “stimulant-free”) three to four times a week in conjunction with a few other pre-workouts in my rotation, and slug some PRE on days when I get to workout in the morning or when I'm generally lacking energy.
