I'm not on gear, either, btw. I just always want more energy, and I already do the top part of the list.
I want explosive energy. I would just do adderall but I don't have insurance right now so I can't get any, and It makes me want to jerk off for 10 hours straight anyway so that's out.

Pre workout drinks like C4.
megadose pregnenolone
in moderation
This acyually fricks up your energy.
A heavy dose of caffeine in the morning just gets me off right if I get a shit in before work.
200-400mg of caffeine a day is fricking up my energy? how?
That is a lot of caffeine though. I would not say that is moderation. Moderation is around 75-100mg a day. Your caffeine intake is most likely (it is) affecting your sleep and decreasing your overall energy
“Caffeinism” is a state of chronic toxicity resulting from excess caffeine consumption. Caffeinism usually combines physical addiction with a wide range of debilitating effects, most notably anxiety, irritability, mood swings, sleep disturbance, depression, and fatigue. Use your “Total Daily Caffeine Intake” from the previous page to determine if you are a victim of caffeinism.
• If your caffeine quotient is less than 100 milligrams per day, it is highly unlikely that you are a caffeine addict.
• If your total is between 100 and 300 milligrams per day, you’re in the “danger zone.” Disruption of sleep patterns begins at this level, and certain heart disease risk factors may be increased.
• If your total is 300 to 600 milligrams per day, you are undoubtedly experiencing some degree of mental and physical addiction to caffeine. Research shows an almost 200 percent increase of risk for ulcers and fibrocystic disease at this level.
• Intake of 600 to 900 milligrams per day indicates almost certain addiction. At this level, your mood and energy levels are severely affected. Research suggests that your risk of heart attack may be twice that of non-caffeine users. If you are a pre-menopausal woman, your chance of maintaining optimal iron levels is slim.
• At 900 milligrams or more per day, you’re a caffeine addict—hook, line, and sinker. At this level of dependency, all heart disease risk factors are significantly increased, as are the risks for stroke, psychological disorders, and gastrointestinal disease. You may need medical help to kick the habit.
Caffeine tolerance may allow you to fall asleep, but if S4 sleep is disrupted, you will wake up feeling tired instead of renewed.
Research shows that people who consume more than 250 milligrams of caffeine per day tend to have poor sleep quality.33,34 What’s more, they are generally unaware of this critical problem. In one study, habitual coffee drinkers were allowed to drink coffee until midday (in order to prevent withdrawal). Later in the day, they were given either caffeine or placebo, and on days when they received placebo, their sleep quality improved significantly.35 As a result, they felt much better the following day. But for millions of Americans, caffeine-induced sleep disorders remain hidden and undiagnosed. These people drag themselves out of bed and remain tired through the day.
I don’t think it is being overly cynical to suggest that this is precisely what the caffeine industry wants. After all, if you’re groggy in the morning, you’ll reach for their product. By midmorning, that first cup will wear off, so you’ll reach for another. You’ll have a caffeine beverage with lunch and most likely another in midafternoon—all because your body really didn’t rest. You fell asleep but never got to experience the depth of sleep that you need most. Is the problem widespread? Recent surveys suggest that 25 percent of U.S. adults have trouble falling asleep, 23 percent awaken frequently, 25 percent wake up too early, nearly half of all Americans are dissatisfied with the quality of their sleep, and one out of every ten is taking some medication to help them sleep.

Get your caffeine intake down to less then 100mg a day, wait 1-2 week until your body gets used to the lower intake (light withdrawals) and watch your energy levels normalize.
I stopped drinking coffee yesterday cause i gotta do some traveling and my headache was so bad, I couldn't imagine someone whos way too far gone quitting cold turkey.
okay i'll do like 200 until i can do 100 or something
A gram of creatine and a shot of pickle juice chased with a half liter of water will pick you up

but i'm a bodybuilder. I have to lift a lot
ashwagandha and pic rel
i love oysters but i don't have the balls to eat those i just stare at them
i'm generally in a good mood
the only stuff i don't take on there is iodine, potassium, gino, rhodiola
if i get potassium it's from bananas and i don't do those every day and iodine from salt the other two i don't get
are they worth it? i'm kinda a wage slave
Iodine is really important. I highly recommend it. Necessary for the body to turn food into energy. DV recommendations are too low so I recommend finding a better way to supplement it than table salt
Potassium is a very important electrolyte. You body can run low on it in 2-3 days. It depends on how active you are, but if you don't have a desk job or if you are workong out more than 2 days a week then you should supplement it. Bananas can work for it, but if you aren't eating one every day or every other day expect your energy to dip some days.
Ginko Biloba is amazing. It will give you that explosive energy you are after. Mildly addictive though. Causes headaches like caffiene when you stop taking it. Look up clinical dosages for this one or you won't get the desired results.
Rhodiola gives consistent and steady energy. Also reduces oxidative stress meaning you can work out more and see better gains. Also mildly addictive. Causes some brain fog when you stop. Clinical dosages not necessary, but still recommended.
I too wage slave, but these are relatively cheap except for the iodine. To me they are worth it. Pick up a bottle of Ginko Biloba first and give it a try. I think the last bottle I got was under 10 dollars.
oysters have a decent amount of iodine btw
A lot of the differences in energy between people comes down to their personality and outlook on life/the world. Physical changes can make a big difference sure but everyone knows people who seem to have infinite energy and that really comes down to personality.
also known as work ethic and strive for a high quality life
Supplements and vitamins. Some are scammy or unsafe so I will give you a short list of worthwhile ones.
Vitamin C
Calcium
Magnesium
Potasium
Zinc
D3
Iodine
Ginko Biloba
Rhodiola extract
Beta-alanine
Creatine
Look up clinical dosages for this stuff and ignore what it says on the label. Also try to get the pure stuff when you can and double check to make sure there isn't any adatives like chromium or some shit.
