bucked up are fire. the packaging is always stupid like it’s trying to appeal to “REAL MEN” but dude ts is effective. i’ve tried about 4 or 5 from them and never had a bad flavor

Well I’m a woman and I don’t really care if my preworkout is manly. I’m just concerned about ingredients but I’ll try this!! Thank you

Texture wise, is it chalky tho?

that’s kinda what i mean, its embarrassing that they try to appeal to either gender, it’s just caffeine. the packaging looks like axe body spray

having had both alani and bucked up, they’re identical texture/consistency. bucked up also make one called “WOKE AF” but it’s the same brand/product

I agree. It’s a marketing strategy/ psychological thing to try to get people to think that since the packaging is crazy then it’s going to make their performance crazy too. And I’m not even going to lie to you, I was interested in alani bc I thought it was cute at first. It’s kind of like clothes. If you dress in something you like then you feel good. If you have a cool pre container then you feel cool using it.

BRO I WAS GONNA SAY THAT EARLIER BUT I THOUGHT IT WOULD SOUND DUMB 😭 THEY TOTALLY MAKE ALANI LOOK CUTE AND BRIGHT TO APPEAL TO GIRLS. THATS WHY IT ISNT AS STRONG STRAIGHT UP

to get around that i always just read the ingredients. if u get a stronger pre, u can have less per scoop so you’re getting more bang for your buck honestly. nobody knows the pre you had once ur at the gym anyhow

Yeah and the price point was what I was worried about too. $25-30 is crazy for the little containers of alani.

i wrote a paper recently on ordinary caffine vs pre workout. there was a pretty important study that compared the 1RM compound lifts of pre-trained males on either pre-workout or just like a energy drink/coffee, and it made literally NO difference in their performance. the only reason i continue to get pre is for the beta alanine that gives that paresthetic feeling. if i sit w that i will freak out, its a good motivator

Wait that’s actually very interesting. I used to just drink black coffee but I needed more caffeine and I could get a higher concentration with the powder pre in a smaller volume of liquid.

No hate. Just an observation
