Pre-workout Twice A Day

I have been working out twice a day, once in the morning and once in the late afternoon. Is it okay to take a pre-workout, like Craze, twice a day for both workouts? I go pretty hard in the gym both sessions, so I need some sort of boost for both.
 
You would have some problems falling asleep with that. My advice would be to get you a good non-stim pre-wo mix to take for your late afternoon workout. Or try taking half the dose in the morning and the other half in the afternoon.

Sounds like a good way to burn out the adrenals.

Most assuredly. Have you considered compromising, taking your PWO in the morning and maybe double bag some green tea in the afternoon? There's a point, I've noticed, in which too much PWO starts to hinder your performance due to vasoconstriction, CNS burnout, blood pressure and a slew of other factors.
 
That is the reason I asked, I am concious of not wanting to burn out the adrenals. I will have to figure out something for the second workout of the day, because adrenal fatigue sucks.
 
i would say either split the doses or use a stim-free pre-workout for your afternoon session. don't want to overload your adrenals
 
I used to do pre workout twice a day and it really ****ed me up. I did it for years and finally realized how stupid it was. I take my stims in the morning before I workout and then drink tea in the afternoon during work for a little extra boost.

Ya id stay away from a pre twice a day, I used to take black powder twice a day and I couldnt sleep at all lol, plus I think i was going way over the scoop per 24 hours, so ya not a good idea.

If I was you I'd take a pre before ur morning workout then drink something with less stims before your second workout
 
I am pretty stim tolerant as it is. I can drink tons of caffeine with no noticeable difference. But as you guys point out, I don't want to overload my adrenals. I need all the energy I can get, my wife is 37 weeks pregnant, so I am expecting my little girl any day. :)

Then I am sure I won't be going to the gym twice a day, it will be when I can find an hour to go each day.
 
why 2 times a day? ifits for buildingmass you may be over training. but id say maybe stick to half the dose for the one later in the day. or just have a coffee?
 
Agreeing with everything stated thus far; no reason at all to take in all those stimulants.

If you can take a bunch of caffeine and not feel anything, I'd highly suggest a stim-detox and maybe a product like Revamp during that time.

I realize how difficult that would be to swing with a kid on the way, but food for thought. Sounds like your adrenals are already over-worked.
 
Don't man. I messed myself up bad doing that.
 
Split doses, and throw in a little caffeine if you need it. I would NEVER take Craze twice a day.
