Thread: How many of you think prework outs sups are worth it?

i quit using any form of stimulants. So, i use caffeine free no-xplode with some extra beta alanine and tyrosine added. It actually gives me pretty good pumps.

There are some good products out there. But, if you're gonna take the stim route, you can just pop a caffeine pill and save urself money

I think they are a waste of money, however, since my dad got around he age of 50 he loves taking a PWO stimulant. It's obviously a little extra motivation due to a lack of natural Test.

You think? I mean is it a commen thing? Prework outs sups? Are they a must? Scarth that are they handy?? I had way more focus while on them but just thinkin are they realy it?

When I got off ephedra for a while, I used jack3d, 1.m.r. and whatever free sample I got at vitamin shoppe. You build a tolerance quick, thus, increase your servings. Nothing beat my ECA stack.

On the flip side, I found that my pumps made me inflexible. I ended up not being able to do a full ROM or more to the point, it made me NOT want to do a full rep. Cant say I liked that feeling.

A friend gave me some of his white flood a couple of times, before going to the gym, when I was super tired and didn't feel like working out. It made a difference, but I'm sure having a cup of coffee before the gym would have done the same thing.

Nothing beats a solid meal 2 hours prior to training and a little bit of caffeine...

Thanks guys for your replyy, its funni i mean after usin it i cant be arsed with gym its lije a good buzz but after u stop usin um its a kill lol

Depends on what you mean.

Caffeine works for endurance training and mildly for resistnace but research is mixed in this area. CHO + PRO pre workout is great. Anything else and it is pretty much a waste of money.

I use d-aspartic acid as my prework out sup. Gives me a small buzz, doesn't have any crash, and it's cheap.

I always eat 30min-1hr before working out. I normally take a PWO such as white flood, jack3d, superpump.... but I think I'm going to lay low on them for a while and try 1 bronkaid and a cup of coffee. Besides, the pumps from the dbol are more than enough!

Totally worth it if you feel you benefit from it. Some people prefer it, some people don't. I hit the gym after work, so I prefer it; not a "need," but a strong preference. Mesomorph by APS is my personal favorite; it has the highest concentration of BA relative to other popular pre-workouts (6g BA rather then the norm of 2g BA most pre's contain) and the stim matrix is solid.

Strong veiws! Ok i think i might put it in my workout i mean i nornal have oats with tuna and 2 spoons of penut butter ( ewww ino lol ) before workout its not realy a boost more like a mental thing so i might try super pump or somthink see how i goo and cycle it off

Try supermax, it is the new superpump bro! Its some good shit.

^^^^ How do you compare SuperMax to the original? I've used both and actually prefer SP250.

Jack3d, about two scoops, is what I've been using recently. Definitely wakes me up.

Love SuperPump250, too.

A large coffee works just fine, though.

And with supplements, well, you can't argue with the placebo effect even if they are "worthless" from a chemical perspective.

Honestly best preworkout is a bit of power metal... goes a long way lol

i definitely think they are worth it. when you buy the right one ofcourse

I use whiteflood 100 servings. All comes down to only 35 dollars on bodybuilding.com
& IMO the best preworkout supplement ever made. & i've tried quite a few

I get more pumps from superpump 250 hands downs, but superman gives me more energy and endurance but not as much pump as the superpump 250

Hey alan and you think bro? I have been looking at super pump 250 imean jacked is good but 4 scoops to feel it lool

Upon the advice of TGB1987, I just started using SuperPump Max and it's awesome. I don't get that jittery feeling but it does help my endurance. And it's one of the very few preworkout supps I've used that tastes great with no funky aftertaste.

Mesomorph like Volc said; IMO nothing in my mind compares. There are a lot to choose from, many suck royally, and even more are so stim loaded you are too wired to get a workout. My suggestion, find out what you are using it for, source of creatine/beta alanine, stims, both and choose accordingly. I hate the place but at the bb.com store there are lots of reviews to help you choose, then come to Orbit to get the best deal .

Supplements are suppose to help you achieve your workout goals,
particularly by supplying nutrients that are important part of a
strenuous workout.

They are not suppose to give you a pump, your training is suppose
to do that. Those with sugar, caffeine, certain teas, and such
raise your alertness, but your effort levels play a much larger role.

I think that you might be mixing these things up. Almost any
preworkout food can positively improve your endurance compared
to taking nothing... even water has this effect.

Personally I use a banana.

An apple also works for me.

No i get my wprkouts good i swet like a bitch and hurt like a ho! So i do hit it hard bro im just posting to see what your guys views are i my self use a banana aswel ha lol

I remember loving Super Pump when I used it a few years back but I was also a stimulant junkie. I hardly even drink coffee anymore. Now that I'm back in the gym basically stimulant-free I actually feel more focused without them. And I've never had a problem achieving a pump without a pre-workout supp either.

i love pre workouts.....they can make a normal workout that much more intense and enjoyable....don't go with something to stim'd out like a mesomorph, that stuffs like liquid crack.....a nice caffeine supplement wil do the trick to wake you up a bit and get you going

I slap myself in the face a couple of times before heavy lifts. Seriously, it works.

Several people have mentioned SuperPump250, I personally hate that stuff. It gives me a headache and makes me jittery......I have started using C4 by Cellucor (2 scoops) and i love that shit man. Great intensity in the gym, feel like I could do my workout a couple times, and makes me feel great a few hours after. Oh and its the best tasting one I've ever tried.

Best preWO is Dbol.
