    pre workout boost

    i've stopped taking fat burners. but i wanted something for pre workout energy. i've used dymetadrine extreme and like it pretty well for that purpose. (it used to be better before they changed it but it's still pretty good). it's ok if it's a fat burner product - i just won't be taking it every day throughout the day. pretty much on leg day and every now and then if i'm dragging.

    anything out there better than dymetadrine? could be that they are all more or less the same but thought i'd see what you all think.

    Some ma huang (ephedra) is good. I take this before a workout. Plain old caffeine tabs work too.

    I just have a cup of coffee sometimes. Caffeine is caffeine.
    Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.

    The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things that losers don't want to do.

    Fade, I've gone up to 75mg Ephedra (ma huang extract) before workouts and it unfortunately hasn't had any effect on me other than the first day I've taken it, I used to LOVE Ultimate Orange, that stuff WORKED!

    I use Gatorade now, I have some a few minutes before I am in the gym (in the car), and I drink throughout the workout as well, although thats carbs/sugars.

    I have coffee about an hour before, but it does dry you out a bit.

    any reason i found dymetadrine better for pre workout energy then let's say....xenadrine. both have ephedra. i got more "alert" and more energized from the dymetadrine but think the xenadrine (and adipo too for that matter) were better for fat burning.

    was i just dreaming that there was a difference?

    Listen to your favourite song and drive your car to the gym really, really fast.

    Or buy some kind of lifting/training video.

    We haven't seen the research yet, but the rumor mill has it that there is something to the combination of CLA and Guarana, both for fat loss and energy!

    Guarana is about 22% caffeine, but feels totlally different....even at 200 mgs. (Some possible warnings)
