Thread: Any suggestions on pre-work out supplements?

it has to do with what you want, you would have to declare that.

specs:
5'10"
175lbs
8%BF

I'm looking to increase size and strenght and maintain being lean. I dont have the best genetics but I work my ASS off in the gym.
I want to stay away from any anabolic compounds or products that require PCT.
If you could recommend any supplement that are lagit products and actually do what it claims I would love to hear about them
thanks for your input,

I'm sure you have heard of Creatine. Are you taking it? Creatine is proven to increase strength.

Caffeine for focus. Works like a charm. 200-400 mg caps/tabs 30 minutes before workout.

NO products give me diarrhea, so I stay away from them. I've tried Superpump 250 & Nano Vapor, but had to stop using them because of the runs. Some people get bad headaches on them. Plus I have heard from a lot of folks at the gym that the body becomes tolerant to them and they don't work as well when you have beenn using them for a while.

Hope that was helpful. good luck...

How long have you been training, what is your diet like and how do you train currently?

Im sure i've read on here that caffiene makes creatine useless, does it?

Generaly, i recomend protein and zma (although people here have said zma is not as good as it claims to be, but i experience a few noticable effects but no extra gain from it to be honest) and although i stopped using it, creatine does gain you a hell of alot more muscle faster, apart from those i dont know anything about suppliments, however those ones are what most non-roiders swear by.

Dodge, you can relax. Caffeine does not make creatine useless.

I like stims pre workout, creatine and carbs post workout.

I would go with a creatine aswell in your case. I suggested this one earlier Primaforce CEE Creatine Ethyl Ester Size: 250 g and maybe with some grape juice. Also a good protein ON 100% Whey Gold Standard 5lb. This is as good as you can do in proteins. And if you want to add an pre workout then use it only when you REALLY need the boost and try this one CytoSport Fast Twitch. Obvioustl diet is very important but these supplements can be very beneficial to you aswell.Good luck.

White Flood is very good. Taste was no issue for me. They also have it in tablet form now.

I like my citrulline malate...
It works good for energy and a little pump
I take it at 2:1 5 grams preworkout
It was pretty cheap too from superior nutraceuticals .com

Mri: Black Powder: N.o.

Are these nitric oxide products as good as they claim to be?

Is there any kind of definitive list of suppliments, with what they claim to do, what they actualy do, side effects, effectiveness, and whether theres cheaper, safer or better alternatives? Or atleast, a list that shows the claim and what they actualy do?
Because i cant trust sites/pamphlets from sellers, that make every single product sound like a must-have.
A definitive list like that writen by expert users would be realy useful to me and many other people, and potentialy destructive to many companies (although productive for the good stuff ofcourse). Itd also reduce the number of threads to sift through in this section when searching for a product's basic info.

I don't know if you'll find a deffinative list that tells you everything really , you just need to learn what the ingredients do and then all you have to do is look at the label and you can tell if your buying a jug of bs usually. Just spend time researching and reading and it will come to you but it will take time.

Truth, and here's what's covered for supps in this 600 plus page ebook:

I've been taking Anabolic-Pump by USP labs for a week and I feel it's a good product so far. I'll update how I feel, gains in strenth and what ever else this product exhibits etc.

My ebook will save you mucho $$$$ as you will know exactly what works (based on the science) and what does not, instead of relying on what the sellers of such products have to say, etc.

Good luck.

i always do carbs and eaa's pre workout.

How does that e book work

You buy it and you read it.

Try out Nitrobolic Extreme, it's a pre-workout creatine/NO mix. Comparable to NO-Xplode, but more creatine content and less caffeine.
