I lift weights, bodybuilding style.
Last 2 workouts, I had a Monster energy drink(the one with sugar), and have been seeing some amazing increase in strength and reps, that I was absolutely surpassing my last week's workouts performance.
It felt great in the first part of the workout, later it felt like a manic type of energy, so not sure how healthy it is.
What I'd like to know is that ingredient in it caused it. Perhaps I have a deficiency.
Could it have been the Carnitine, the Ginseng, or the high caffeine content?
Notes:
1. I have tried one pre-workout product, before, never seen much effects from it.
2. I have tried Taurine and B-vitamins on their own, no perceived effect on physical performance
3. Red Bull does not have the same effect
This is the ingredients list
