Thread: Favourite Preworkout supp?

A good meal 1-2 hours prior to training and 200mg of Caffiene 30mins prior. PreWO supps are a waste of money IMO.

GMO,

BINGO!!!

Caffeine "The Foundtion"

Virtually every pre workout supplment contains caffeine. It is the foundation of every pre workout suppment.

The "80/20 Rule"

This rule applies to just about everything in life.

Business Example

80% of a companies business comes from 20% of it clients/customers.

Pre Workout Supplements

The same applies with all of the pre workout suppments.

That means caffeine is responsible for 80% of the benefits of your pre workout suppment. The rest of the "ingredients" contribute about 20%, less or nothing at all.

What That Means

That means, you end up paying 80% more for the other 20% of the "ingredients" in products like Jack3D!

Why

The cost of caffeine is dirt cheap. There is very little profit in selling caffeine.

Thus, companies add "proprietary ingredients". This allows them to jack up the price and drive their profit margin through the roof.

The Final Act

Then the manufacturers hype the product as the next coming of Christ.

Cost of Caffeine

The cost of caffeine is next to nothing. A bottle of 100 tablets of 200 mg per tablet is about $10.

Even better, have a cup of coffee.

Kenny Croxdale

Agree with both above.......
Eat a meal about 1-2 hours before, pop 200-400mg of caffeine and my usual 3rd dose of ephedrine.

FYI - 100 count of 200mg caffeine pills cost $4 at walmart.

While I agree with the idea of a good meal before training, I also think a lot of people benefit mentally from using PWO's..you read a label on a product and convince yourself that you're going to have a great workout from something other than the caffeine, then so be it. I personally use Jack3d as well and while I think it's a good product for energy, I'm pretty sure it's helped me thru more than a few workouts

N.O. SHOTGUN beats all!! Wicked pumps quick recovery.

Animal RAGE

After 4 bottles of Jack3d, my body got used to it so I now switched to No Xplode. Basically does the same thing but I prefer the taste of Jack3d better since No Xplode is a bit foamy. I might give coffee a try next time, just to compare.

Personally i'm not a fan of a lot of pre-wo things on the market just because they go way over the top and put so much shit in them it gives you jitters or a huge crash afterwards. I've been taking All-Out (Beyond Nutrition) for a while and it doesn't give me either of those, but i get awesome focus from it.

Maybe i'm too sensitive too caffeine or something, but hell. Works for me. Take a scoop pre-wo and put another in my carb drink to sip throughout. PR city.

Black powder, WTF, Shock Therapy

yea depending on the supplement it may be a waste of money, go with no explode. its good

i cant used jack3d. i gotta use like 4 scoops with that and NO Xplode. stupid

Mesomorph by APS is by far the best PW sup i have evr used, Dorian Yates NOXpump is also one to consider.

MRI Black Powder

Jerk off and eat it

Jack3d is my go to for sure...I've tried the other ones, but my body seems to respond best to this stuff, steady energy and focus without the jitters, I'll keep it

neurocore is what I got now, waiting to test the wyked from taurus nutrition (if it ever arrives)

I like 1MR. Just ordered some new stuff today though so I might change my mind...

I've tried every one on the market. Only two that I actually even remotely care for.

1) No Shotgun - My go to pre wo
2) Bullnox androrush - Just tried this one. Absolutely love it. Went out and bought a jug. Recommended it to about 5 people at the gym that love it too.

For those of you who smoke your preworkout supps
