Pre-Workout - Which one do you use?

[Loscar]

I’ve been training since February and have used pre-workout on some days when I feel not as energetic.

What pre-workouts do you guys use? Do you like pre-workout do you not like it?

I just finished mine and was curious and what everyone else uses.

I found that pre-workouts make me all jittery and too wired. Instead, I load creatine and beta alanine and after loading phase, take a maintenance amount everyday. Since switching to this, my pre-workout drink is literally a big cup of coffee and a mixer cup full of water. I like to workout in the morning, fasted.

Double Espresso and Honey.
I am interested in trying Mots-C though.

Big fan of Transparent Labs here. I use their Stim Free pre workout since I don’t need the caffeine. I also use their Creatine with HMB

Coffee and citrulline only. I'm not into all of those strong brainfucking stacks anymore....come down is brutall. When I notice citrulline and coffe is not enough will add some alanine and arginine, but so far I don't think I need it.

I’ll have to try that tomorrow since I ran out today. I do use creatine in my protein shake post workouts. Thanks for the input!

Was reading about Citrulline! I’m noticing a trend!

You're welcome brotha

You could try loading creatine for 7 days - 20g each day split up through our the day. Then after the week 5g per day. When I'm loaded I feel a cognitive benefit too. When loading beta-alanine I just take 5g a day everyday, put it my shake or I'm some water or whatever.

Avoid citrus or acidic drinks, they will counteract the creatine. Have a good workout!

Citrulline is well known for ages. But as a single supplement it's getting more popular recently, ao you right. Actually before my break with gym a couple years ago, due to the shoulder injury, I used to supplement some stacks, where the citrulline was one of many. When back to workouts recently, after the break just decided to give a citrulline only a try. IMO it is what I was looking for. No stimulation, but gives me some proper concentration and efficiency while cardio and weigh lifting. Got an experience with many hard core pre workouts, but don't need this kind of speed feeling anymore.

Same as above, found most pre-workouts made me jittery and the non-caffeinated versions were mostly just flavoured water in terms of impact ...

Usually have a shot of espresso before my morning workout and sometimes half a toast if I'm planning on any form of long cardio. Does the job.

There is a HUGE difference between Canadian pre-workout and USA.
There are a couple of ingredients that Canada does not allow.

I bought the US version of Total War by Redcon1; never again !!
It felt like my body was being electrified inside; I can feel my veins vibrating 😱

All Canadian pre-workout is mild

Total War by Redcon 1 is my fav. All the flavors taste great 😉

Read about Mots-C carefully. It is NOT a stimulant.
It will not feel like a pre-workout.

I dont use creatine for pre-workout though I do take it. Right now my go-to is a combo of modaf-bemethyl-methylene blue, epicatechin, Jacked Factory's NO-XT, and Lipodrene Elite

Can't find this in Canada "Lipodrene Elite"

New York...

Can't even get Skippy peanut butter here anymore. They stopped shipping it up here about 5 years ago because of freight costs and lack of sales.
It's the best damn PB !

For context, I don't do any cardio and train more or so in a powerlifting style, which should matter in my choice of "pre-workout."

I usually have a banana. If I feel extra sluggish, I will pop a caffeine pill (100mg) to get me going. I'm more invested in my intra, which is usually an energy drink (taurine, caffeine, b vits, etc) or some form of electrolyte drink. I find that having enough glycogen in the tank does far more than any pre-workout, and I've truly tried them all and even mixed my own.

Where is the OG Craze? Any of you remember that stuff? Hands down the best stuff I've ever had, pretty sure it was some type of amphetamine. Still pretty sure I would use it if it was still around.

I feel like @Airborne Daddy is old enough to have enjoyed it.

Same. I fill my water bottle up with BULK and a hydration pack. Just google the ingredients. It has beta alanine so your skin will tingle a bit when you drink it. It helps with glycosis in your muscles while working out. It also helps with arm-pump when dirt biking.

Sneak! I only started using it because I liked the shaker it came with but after trying a few others I always go back to it. Their flavours are so nice!

Would be cool if the china bros would get us Jack3d back

 

[Bucky]

Sugar free Red Bull/monster and a hit or two of rosin usually does the trick for me.

Jack3d got me jacked back in the day. Every pre-workout after that has felt like a cheap decaf insta coffee.

I feel like pre-workouts are a waste of money, and in reality, all you really need is just caffeine, so why even buy an entire tub of something you have to scoop daily? What I do is I just swallow one tablet that has 200 mg of caffeine in it, and that's all you need. And I've been doing this for years now, and every single day, it hits me like a truck, and I have not seemed to gain any tolerance to it. And it also saves so much time and money rather than brewing coffee or making pre-workout before the gym.
