Things you do b4 a workout

MeLo · 12-22-2003, 01:19 AM

the moment i wake up, or in the afternoon, i would usually take a shower b4 hitting the gym. but sometimes when i feel tired , my mind thinks 'damn, i still need to bathe just to go to this workout, forget it. you know what i mean? im interested to know who bathes before every single workout for hygiene reasons or otherwise.

I don't shower prior only after

REACTION · 12-22-2003, 02:29 AM

fuck it man, if you go straight to the gym only have one after! If you had to make a number of trips first - yeah. Especially if they involve pretty girls!

MeLo · 12-22-2003, 02:57 AM

If I come home first from work, then I shower before going to the gym, feel more relaxed and have more energy.

Otherwise when I get to gym I just think about what Im trying to accomplish by being there.

ucs · 12-22-2003, 04:55 AM

Oh and listen to some music, something to get you pumping...

It's the best warm up there is!!!! I usually work up quite a sweat.

Var · 12-22-2003, 05:47 PM

I shower before AND after working out. I need the morning shower to wake me up and I'm pretty sure I'd lose a lot of friends if I didnt shower after.

MeLo · 12-22-2003, 05:54 PM

hmmm... diff. ppl diff. styles. From taking a dump to listening to pumping musics

BabyArnold · 12-22-2003, 05:57 PM

I often watch Pumping Iron and The Comeback to get me motivated on days that I don't want to go to the gym. Oh yeah, and I take a dump!

bballplayer4514 · 12-22-2003, 06:01 PM

i go tanning b4 hitting the gym

MeLo · 12-23-2003, 02:17 AM

wont you be tired? everytime id go tanning with my friends by the pool i feel lethargic. i wonder if this is normal...

KataMaStEr · 12-23-2003, 02:23 AM

I don’t have any specific routine before working out, the only thing I do consistently before working out is eat a high carb meal before working out and that’s it.

ponyboy · 12-23-2003, 05:15 AM

I crank Rage against the Machine in my car on the way to the gym. Does that count?

Watching Pumping Iron or Blood and Guts always gets me pumped up as well.

**P-funk** · 12-23-2003, 09:32 AM

I know a couple of guys that take a shower before their workout everytime. They swear by it and say that it wakes them up and gives them a better workout. I have never tried it.

taking a dump is numero uno on my list. i don't eat alot in the hour or two before my workout cuz i hate training on an even somewhat full stomach. so i always "go to the office" and put in some overtime before i hit the gym, that way my stomach at least feels empty and light.

after i get out of the office, i pop a caffiene pill, and like to watch a little part of a video or two. Pumping Iron, The Comeback, Blood and Guts, Lee Haney or a Mr. O tape. usually gets the blood flowing.

oh ya, and i usually keep the videos on mute and blast heavy metal in the background and on the carride there.....and the people at my gym wonder why i look like a madman as soon as i show up.

SJ69 · 12-23-2003, 09:48 AM

stacker 3 and coffee.
I also do a whey shake before and after wo

BabyArnold · 12-23-2003, 02:17 PM

I use to do epha, aspirin, and caff. but I think that cocaine would actually be better for you than the speed stack. I don't know, I just hate everyone at the gym when I am on the speed stack. Does anyone else want to beat the fat personal trainers at the gym like I do while speed stacking?? Damn! Good thing I don't use gear, I might hurt someone!

oaktownboy · 12-25-2003, 09:34 PM

i eat a lot of food before i go..i have an extremely fast metabolism so i eat all the time..definetly pb before all my workouts

Its the attitude that causes "roid rage" not the roids.

Yes, I shower every time before I go and workout. I take a really hot one to help loosen muscles and whatnot.

aggies1ut · 12-26-2003, 07:35 PM

Well I workout first thing in the morning, so I shower after I workout. I also make sure that I have my water mixed with some ICE since I just got that in the mail, a towel, MP3 player, etc., before hitting the gym.

gr81 · 12-26-2003, 09:38 PM

get all loaded up on ephedrine and caffeine, and oxycottin if I have any, and I am ready to go baby!

	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.
