I blended up and drank my Ultimate Pre-Workout Elixir for Endurance and Power this morning. I drank half of it to boost my focus for work and I'll drink the rest before my resistance training workout this afternoon.
I've been constantly making this elixir and working out daily for 6 years! It works so well for me because it contains ample doses of all the most powerful adaptogenic herbs (adaptogens help your cells thrive and adapt to stress) and does NOT contain any caffeine. Most pre-workout formulas have 1 or 2 adaptogens and a huge amount of caffeine, which may not give you the sustainable energy and nourishment for both your workout and recovery you're looking for.
In fact, here's a video I made 5 years ago of my Ultimate Pre-Workout Elixir for Endurance and Power. I was about a year into my current resistance training routine.
And here's me now!

The pic on the left was after a year and a half of nonstop newbie gains when I first started a fierce and consistent split routine at the gym. The pic on the right is me now after over 6 years of a fierce near-consistent split routine, with a few going easy periods to rehab a shoulder and low back injury along the way. I've been eating a really nutrient-dense and nutrient-diverse paleo keto style diet and have been imbibing my adaptogenic pre-workout elixir every day too!
If you're new to weight lifting or other high intensity training, newbie gains are possible so start now, work on your technique and stay consistent. If you're seasoned, keep treating your body and life with the utmost care, stay consistent and never stop learning! Enjoy the lifetime of your hard work paying off! Don't deplete yourself with junk food and junk supplements. Give your body the best to maintain suppleness so that your gains have longevity! Being really nourished facilitates a natural attitude and focused mind where you just crave working out with minimal rest days!
The saying goes: Abs are built in the gym but revealed in the kitchen. In fact just about every long term fitness enthusiast will agree that as important as your workout technique and discipline is, nutrition is the main factor in building lean mass.
I hope you make this or a very similar elixir! It's great before yoga, CrossFit, running and all sports too!
