Yesterday I had my first experience with pre-workout. I’ll admit I was a little nervous. I opened it, sniffed it, put it in my water, sniffed it again (it smelled delicious!), tilted my bottle back and forth staring at it, smelled it again (okay, I was a lot nervous) and then after a mental pep talk, I downed it. It literally tasted like liquefied jolly ranchers, not too bad. I figured it wouldn’t really do anything for me – probably because I’m a huge skeptic of everything. So I was like cool whatever and headed to the gym.
By the time I was walking through the doors I felt like I had snorted a mountain of crack (or maybe cocaine? which one do you snort, because I don’t know?). My nose was itchy and my ears were itchy and I just wanted to pump some iron LOL. I impatiently switched my weight from foot to foot between each set, waiting for my workout partner to finish his set. I wanted to do more and more and more. My mind was like, “You have 100 reps left in you!”, but my body was like, “OMG HOLD UP WHAAAT?! CHILL!” It was the hardest I’ve ever pushed myself.
So, I guess you could say it went well. My only regret is that I didn’t start using it sooner than seven weeks into my training, uhhg! I’ll leave you with a meme.
