with a side of beta alanine.Nowadays high stim pre-workout usually just means an obscene level of caffeine.
None of the shit really kicks unless you're well rested. Good sleep is biggest needle mover.
Yea but that's assuming you're normally getting good sleep. A week of 4-5 hour nights fueling every workout with 300-400mgs of caffeine and it starts to have a fractional effect.I disagree with this.
I've gotten in decent training sessions on 4-5 hours of sleep thanks to PWO supplements. If I didn't take anything, I would spend those afternoons dozing off and falling asleep.
8+ hours of sleep is ideal in every possible way, including for these products to be best used. But they are actually more "needed" for me when I'm running on less rest.

I'm assuming the people looking for exotic stimulants are already tolerant to the upper range of caffeine doses. And I don't think you get tolerant to those doses until you've been using them more than once or twice a week.I can't speak on that, so I will take your word for it.
I'm more of a 200-250mg caffeine kind of guy. I don't touch those powders with 300-400mg. Also, I very rarely go more than 2 nights in a row with that little sleep.
