Oh, sorry
But who would use a preworkout on non training days? What would the point be? I don't even use pre-workouts every w/o out. If you are able to motivate yourself then no need unless you are dragging a bit.

yeah that was the whole point I was trying to get across!
I've used it on non training days when I was dead and needed a good boost. Now, I just typically pop a couple 1,3 dimeth caps and I'm good.airvine91

Keep an eye out for adrenal fatigue though. Keep your rest days strictly rest days and go to bed early those days. If you stimulate your body when it is fatigued, then it will force the adrenal glands to work harder....
Your cortisol levels are supposed to be elevated in the morning and wind down to very little at night. When you start the day off with low cortisol you are going to have a hard time getting out of bed, as you force your body to stay active even later into the night you make your adrenals continue working, even later into the night. The adrenals need a break, over training and lack of sleep will tire them easily.
Somewhere around 30% of your total testosterone is produced in the adrenals. Feeding adrenal fatigue will contribute to much lower T.
Taking DHEA and Licorice extract in the mornings (only), should help to keep the adrenals from over working. Also, Standard Process sell dessicated adrenals pretty cheap and have helped some people I know.
Aging men are also more prone to adrenal fatigue, as the testicles loose function, more stress is shifted to the Adrenals to produce T and other hormones. That is why DHEA supplementation is very beneficial to older men as opposed to younger men.
Lastly, if you suspect extreme or heavy fatigue upon rising in the morning and plenty of afternoon crashes you may want to visit your doctor. He can prescribe you a short cycle of Hydro-cortisone pills. It should give your adrenals the break it needs to recuperate.
Remember! Sleep and proper off days

I tried iForce Maximize V2 today. I've been off of stimulants for few weeks now but I decided to start using preworkout formulas again.
Flavour was "Fruit Punch Slam". I wasn't very excited to try it because I tend to puke after taking fruit punch flavoured preworkout drinks. Didn't puke this time. Flavour was not very good but not too bad either. Hands down best tasting fruit punch flavoured stuff I've tried so far. Not as sweet as Pump Fixx and not as sour as N.O. Ignite.
About 15 minutes after drinking it I noticed something really, really weird.. strange feeling in my chest/lunges. I don't know what it was but it had to have something to do with Maximize V2. It felt like I had taken asthma medicines, like my lunges were getting plenty of oxygen!
Later I noticed that nice beta-alanine tingling. It didn't tingle as much as it does with most other preworkout products so I assume that Maximize V2 doesn't have very much beta-alanine in it.
To the workout then... Energy and focus were AWESOME! Even better than with SAN Launch or any other preworkout formula I've tried. But it may be due to the fact that I've been off of stimulants for so long.
Pump was brilliant too, almost as good as what I get when I take NTBM Attack. Better than any other stimulant based preworkout product has given!
I sweat a lot and heart rate was elevated, but that's the case with most stimulated products.
I did many PR's today so I'm really happy. And no crash nor appetite suppression! I couldn't ask more for preworkout formula. I'm really impressed, iForce has done good job. Only negative thing is the taste. If I bought this, I'd try Raspberry Lemonade instead of Fruit Punch Slam... And I would buy this if I didn't have so many tubs of different preworkout products.
I forgot to mention that I got little hypoglycemic after workout, dunno if it had anything to do with Maximize V2 though. It may be just because I trained so hard and took 2 caps of Slin-Sane after workout.
Energy: 10/10
Focus: 10/10
Pump: 9/10
Taste: 6/10
