I am trying Doomsday for the first time tomorrow! What does do you guys suggest? I was thinking full scoop right from the start or should I ease into it with a 0.75 scoop?
You’re gonna get people say less than a full scoop will work to people saying if you take 4 scoops it will do nothing. I don’t think it’s so much the dose but more what you’re gonna use it for and how you approach training.
IMO, a lot of the guys who don’t like it are probably not training at all or half ass their sessions at best. People leaving reviews and talking about mood, euphoria, and nothing about training is a bit of a giveaway. If you’re one of those types I’d suggest not opening it and sell it to Carolina kid cos for sure you’re not gonna get anything even remotely resembling a high.
Then there’s another group who want a hard stim feeling which makes them restless, jacks up their heart rate and activate their fight or flight response. think the typical user of Crack, OG Jack3d. This group is very active on this thread and they won’t like it so again I’d not bother with it if that’s you cos it’ll feel like you’ve had a decent tasting energy drink probably and that’s it.
I think the final group who seem to like it appears to be guys who only dose stims at a moderate level, tend to be older, aren’t really looking for any drug type effects and quite a few of them I think have reported similar results like:
1) being underwhelmed when they drink it
2) no real energy
3) a bit of focus
(Doomsday hardcore delivers more on those three fwiw)
4) When they are training they’ll notice without being amped up that it feels easier to get more reps out
5) Find they can increase volume per workout (extra sets)
6) Find they can maintain a higher level of performance for longer (hence the extra sets and reps)
7) faster recovery between sets probably cos HR not as high
I think point 7 is where hard stim preworkouts fail and it’s weird people seem to think they are great cos if your hr is 170 after a set of squats you’ll need 5-10min rest to be able to perform a second set adequately. The point of training should be to be able to perform at a high level set after set, effort after effort and that means HR needs to be at a low enough level at the start of a set or sparring session, run etc that you can produce a good effort.
Sorry for the long post, but if you’re in group 3 I’d try 1 scoop empty stomach to start and adjust up or down after. I’d avoid having it after 6pm cos despite what people say about it being “stim-free” it’ll keep you awake for at least 6 hrs after.
