What's scarier than a nightmare? Quitting coffee cold turkey But, with this stack: - Uridine Monophosphate - Omega-3 fatty acids - Phenylethylamine - Vitamin B3, B6, B9 - Alpha-GPC Your transition away from coffee will be smoother. They are a substitute, not a crutch.

If this is your pre-workout: - EAAs - Taurine - Creatine - Beta-Alanine - Rhodiola Rosea - Citrulline Malate Drink it. Go train. It works. If this is your pre-workout: - Caffeine + electrolytes Drink it. Go train. It works. No pre-workout? Drink water. Go train. It works.

There are no macronutrients without micronutrients. The former: - Protein - Carbs - Fat The latter won't fit into this tweet, but: - Fruit - Meat - Vegetables A whole food diet with a broad variety of the above will cover your bases. Still not enough? -> Add multivitamin

The spec sheet of a used car tells you what's in the car, not the damage done to it. The nutrition facts label on processed food tells you what's in the food, not the damage it'll do to you.

A keyboard gives you leverage in the digital world. A prybar gives you leverage in the physical world. In a civilized world, the keyboard is your friend. In an uncivilized world, the prybar is your friend.
