Use Pre-Workout Stimulants Only Occasionally

If using pre-workout drinks or coffee before exercise, do so only occasionally rather than habitually, because doing it too often can reduce overall dopamine release capacity, motivation, drive, and energy.

1 / 1

So I'm not saying that people shouldn't take the occasional pre-workout if that's your thing or drink a cup of coffee or two before working out now and again. Some people really enjoy that. I certainly do that every once in a while, but if you do it too often, what you'll find is that your capacity to release dopamine and your level of motivation and drive and energy overall will take a serious hit.
