It's not non-sense. If you are tired and not into training, then take a good pre-workout. It'll help you be more "into" you're training, get a better pump (if it's a good product), and you'll train longer.

Basically, on days I feel like skipping the gym or being lazy on leg day, I take a pre-workout and end up killing it instead or skipping or skimping.

Sometimes you need a boost of energy to get into the zone.

You must know this as a lifetime natural. Right?

Pj I respect you man but honestly with the hormones you run what real benefit do you truly derive from 30 or so grams of dextrose with trace amounts of amino acids mixed in?

Haha. Nothing.

NOW 32g of highly branched cyclic dextrin, and 12g+ of EAAs, with 2g of cit mal per serving? Well sir, that is a potent combo. I take 2 servings with large body parts and I see ENORMOUS increases in recovery. Don't take my word for it though. This product will be in the gym bag of almost any serious bodybuilder soon, and the reviews should flood the interwebz.

I would say that of the 600 or so people that pre-ordered the new Intra-MD at least half aren't natty, and MANY of them are top level competitive bodybuilders. All of them understand the importance of recovery and know that training frequency in conjunction with optimal nutrition is the key to growth.

If I misunderstood and you were referring to a pre-workout, I would suggest that the 30g of carbs aren't necessary. To me a good pre-workout is mainly for getting better pumps and getting me more pumped to train when I am tired. I don't suggest you use one regularly as they are vaso CONSTRICTORS.

Yes I was referring to a pre workout. I have to say some of your BSL products seem interesting unfortunately they are not available in my geography.

40 minutes on the treadmill is a breeze if you take a dose of EC 15 minutes beforehand.
