Pre-workout supplements are things that give you energy for the workout. Just search for "preworkout" on like Amazon, Walmart, GNC, etc and you'll find a bunch. Be warned that some of them have a fuckton of caffeine, so you might need to cut back on coffee. Also, they can make you itchy in weird places.
When I take preworkout, I can usually push myself for like a whole extra hour.
The extra time in the gym is probably due to some extended release caffeine that some blends include. But you're 100% right about the level of caffeine included. It can really fuck up your day if you don't understand your tolerance and cycling is something I highly recommend to anyone who uses pre workout. Makes coming back like Christmas even if the first week is a bit rough
