The #1 reason your pre-workout stopped working (and the fix)
If your pre-workout doesn't hit like it used to, you don't need a stronger one.
You need a tolerance reset.
Your body adapts to caffeine in about 3-4 weeks. After that, you're just maintaining baseline — not getting a boost. So you take more. Then more. Then you're at 400mg+ and still feel nothing.
The fix is simple:
Week 1-4: Normal dose
Week 5: Half dose
Week 6: Caffeine-free (stim-free pre or just skip it)
Week 7: Back to normal — and it hits like the first time again
Also train stim-free 1-2x per week. It keeps your tolerance in check AND proves you can still push hard without it.
The best pre-workout protocol isn't about finding the strongest formula. It's about being smart with what you take.
