Thoughts:
This was yesterdays session around 4 PM in a fed state
Pre-Workout Meal (90 minutes prior to gym)
Carbs : 50g
Water up to this point 1 gallon
Sodium → Sea salted every meal (3 meals prior to gym)
PPK: Taken 10 minutes prior to gym
Pumps were there, but this really is not a formula meant to give you skin bursting pumps. Energy comes on around 15-20 minutes after ingesting the pre-workout, it hits you, and then sustains for the length of the workout (60ish minutes) and into the post-workout period. I can go home shower, and then prepare a meal and still feel the effects of the pre-workout. I find my recovery and endurance to be pretty typical to the full blitz and vasoblitz stack I am use to running. I do feel the slight headache pop into my head, making me think its a nootropic in the formula that is causing me to have adverse effects. I have ran everything in PPK In the past ingredient profile wise (betaine, peak atp, creatine, hydration complex’s, bioperine, astragin etc) So this makes me think this is the underlying issue.
Hordenine and Huperzine A i have used in several pre-workouts and in energy drinks, so my narrow guess is : Beta-Phenylethylamine 100 mg
could be wrong… could be right, but just a stab in the dark.
I did one workout over the last week since getting PPK with fullblitz and had no headache or issues,
