    Golden whey is protein (mainly for post workout)
    For some reason it's harder for me to sweat so I'll try C4 on the Go for sure. The first time I tried pre-workout my hands and feet started itching like mad for like 10 minutes though lol

    It does for sure give you a tingle. I'm not sure "how many scoops" on the go is; read the labels for sure though.

    It's the beta alanine in the preworkout that causes that. Anyways what are your fitness goals?

    Creatine ,Whey Isolate, Multivitamins, and fish oils.
    Other than that sleep, food, and staying well hydrated.

    Whey isolate is probably the best if you are trying to build strength and muscle.

    In general, I try and avoid C4 because of the potential side effects it can have on your body.

    You def should not take c4 for anyone under eighteen.

    You need to make sure you eat a lot before taking it, but obviously give yourself time from eating, to drinking c4, to working out.

    My local gym recommends Apex as a "natural thing"

    i am a certified personal trainer and at the moment im studying traditional chinese medicine
    what ive learnt so far is you should really stay away from all the protein shakes and preworkouts and creatines and whatnot. protein shakes arent so bad if you stick to the all natural and organic and non GMO stuff, otherwise all the others are just full of unnecessary chemicals that destroy your immune system. there are plenty of natural ways to get the "high" before your workout and that could even work better than any pre workout

    Hi cute., would you mind elaborating a little more on this? I tried pre-workout a few times but I didn't really like it all that much. Made me too jittery, I couldn't concentrate on what I was doing

    Most pre workouts that people use are chemical based. That's what makes you all jittery and heart race..
    There are plenty of herbal pre workouts that are chemical-free that have the same effect as a pre workout would, minus all the nasty side effects.
    There's an Australian brand called "natural force" that my boyfriend uses (well I made him use it). It doesn't taste as sugary and nice as a conventional pre work out would, but it is a lot healthier and safer and my boyfriend says it works as well as any other pre workout he's tried.
