My thought was that a lot of pre-workout supplements contain caffeine, so if I get the same amount of caffeine from a diet Coke or a coffee, is it a suitable substitute?
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

How about just not relying on either? If you need a pre-workout to get a good session in something is not right. Could you improve on the quality of your sleep? Are you not eating properly, especially lacking in carbohydrates? Are you working out too much and not recovering adequately?

When I was lifting hardcore and fasting I’d do 3x double shots of espresso before my 430am sessions. It worked.
Its a nootropic…

Coffee works well. Take it black or make your own creamer.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Artificial sweeteners are horribly unhealthy. Coffee has antioxidants. Unsweetened is probably best, but if you can get real honey, it's nice too.

Preworkouts are nonsense and another marketing ploy by the supplement industry
