[345] - Why Your Pre-Workout Is A Waste of Money

Text me what you thought of the show 😊

We break down why most pre-workout powders are expensive caffeine with underdosed extras, then lay out a simple, research-backed routine that suits shift work and real recovery. We explain energy balance, protein timing, caffeine dosing and sleep so you can train smarter.

• the problem with proprietary blends and label padding
• why energy balance drives fat loss, not powders
• the only reliable acute aid being caffeine, with proper dose ranges
• beta-alanine tingles explained and why saturation matters
• the simple pre-training setup: protein milk plus coffee
• protecting lean mass by adding protein first after fasting
• milk as carbs, fluids and electrolytes for quick fuel
• post-training protein rhythm every three to five hours
• caffeine timing for shift workers to protect deep sleep
• the core pillars: deficit, protein, lifting, sleep, consistency
