Vasodilation, lowers blood pressure.
Improves insulin sensitivity, by slowing glucose release into blood stream.

I’m not seeing where the stimulant effect is.

Granted, I realize I’m pushing into areas I know nothing about. Like, physiologically, what gives us the psychological feeling of energy? Is “energy” all psychological? That would make sense: body giving feeedback on available resources.

Like ginger looks like a sedative on paper, but it feels like a stimulant mentally.

What’s cool about ginger is it’s a non-diuretic stimulant. I wanna see if I can find more of those.

I'm not sure there is any human stimulant property in ginger. There was an old study done on guinea pigs showing Gingerol exhibiting positive inotropic and chronotropic effects. No human trials that I know of. But, I couldn't think of a better herb to supplement energy drinks with than ginger.

pull ups are a staple in a good back workout imo. You can get amazing overload and flex all over everyone in the gym by dangling weight from your dick and making those puppies really pop.
