L-arginine facts

L-arginine is great for pre-workout it's the supplement that is in every pre-workout. This is what get's you those big vascular veins to pop out and gives you the pump you want!  I usually use 3-5 grams several times a day, but don't go over 10 grams.

the basics of L-Arginine

  is an important amino acid for releasing nitric oxide into the bloodstream, improve the health of the circulatory system and heart, release growth hormone, promote relaxation, and keep blood pressure normal.  L-Arginne is in almost all of your pre-workout drinks, which is what gives you the "pump" you feel during or after your workout. I typically buy the amino-acid seperate from the pre-workouts because it's way cheaper and you usually don't know what else is in the pre-workout drinks.
