Static Labz got a lot of attention in 2020 with the release of 1’3 Volt and Shockwave, two high stim pre workouts that I am a fan of.

As we head into 2021 there’s a new kid on the block: Electro.

Why should you care? Electro has not one, but two types of DMAA in it: 1’3 DMAA and the relatively uncommon 1’4 DMAA. As DMAA pre workout supplements continue to make a minor come back, this pushes the envelope even more.

Pre Workout FAQs

Below you’ll find some of the most frequently asked questions about pre workout supplements.

Is pre workout bad for you?

Because the type of ingredients in pre workouts varies, it is impossible to provide a one size fits all answer. There are certainly safe pre workouts that are fine to take as recommended for most healthy individuals. Some of the more extreme pre workouts contain stimulants that can cause unwanted side effects and can build a tolerance if taken too frequently, which can result in negative withdrawal effects. However, just a little research from reading pre workout reviews can make it much easier to find a pre workout that is right for you.

What effects does pre workout achieve?

Pre workouts are usually taken to improve energy levels, increase blood flow, and enhance focus during a workout. The main difference between various pre workout supplements is how much they emphasize these effects. Some are mostly focused on blood flow (aka “the pump”) while others focus on boosting energy for long workouts. This is why doing some pre workout research before making a purchase is important.

Is pre workout right for me?

Pre workout may be worth considering after you have tracked your diet and sleep for several weeks and are still having issues with completing your workouts. At that point, some extra caffeine may be a good place to start when seeking supplementation. Lift Vault’s list of safe pre workouts is a good place to start if you’re a beginner.

What are the best pre workouts?

If you ask 10 people this question, you’ll likely get 10 different answers. It really is a personal decision that depends on what kind of effects an individual is seeking. With that said, Lift Vault has compiled a list of its favorite pre workouts for different occasions, including pre workouts without banned substances, pre workouts with banned substances, pre workouts with excellent value, and pre workouts without caffeine.
