How to Avoid Preworkout Crashes: The Science Behind Caffeine + L-Theanine

Ever experienced that dreaded energy crash after taking a preworkout? You’re not alone. Many fitness enthusiasts love the boost from a preworkout supplement, but hate the jitters, anxiety, or sudden drop in energy that can follow. The good news: there’s a science-backed solution that’s at the heart of 4 Gauge’s clean formula—combining caffeine with L-theanine for smooth, sustained energy.

Why Do Preworkout Crashes Happen?

• High doses of caffeine can spike your energy quickly, but often lead to a hard crash as your body metabolizes it.

• Artificial stimulants and sugary formulas can cause jitters, upset stomach, and rapid energy drops.

• Lack of balance—most preworkouts focus only on energy, not on how you feel during and after your workout.

The Smart Solution: Caffeine + L-Theanine

Caffeine is a proven performance booster, but when it’s paired with L-theanine—a natural amino acid found in tea—the result is a smoother, more focused energy that lasts longer and feels better.

• Caffeine (150mg per serving in 4 Gauge) increases alertness, endurance, and power output.

• L-Theanine (200mg per serving in 4 Gauge) promotes calm, focus, and reduces the negative side effects of caffeine.

How Does It Work?

• L-Theanine helps buffer the stimulating effects of caffeine, so you get energy without the jitters.

• The combination supports better cognitive function and mood—perfect for tough workouts or long days.

• Studies show that caffeine + L-theanine improves focus and reduces the "crash" feeling common with standard preworkouts.
