Homebrew pre-workout mix

[tucker01]

I thought this post was brilliant - it's a recipe and a rationale for a home-made preworkout stack, just like mamma used to make...

The Boost Your Pump Stack

SUPPLEMENT DOSE

• Arginine 3-5 g 30-60 minutes preworkout
• Creatine 3-5 g immediately preworkout
• Glycerol 10-30 g 60 minutes preworkout

MariAnne's note: I'd probably knock back the glycerol and arginine with a caffeine tab when I'm getting set to leave for the gym, then toss the creatine into my pre/post workout shake, with some dextrose.

In fact, I'm going to try it this way tomorrow!

Great thread.

Well,

I just knocked back:

• 5 grams of glycerine (bottle said for external use only, LOL)
• 1 gram arginine with 1 gram ornithine (leftover from an earlier experiment)
• 200mg caffeine
• 5mg dextroamphetamine

- and I'm sipping on a protein shake with 30g protein, 20g dextrose and 5g creatine monohydrate.

I'm either about to have a SPECTACULAR workout, or I'm about to die.

Friends, enemies... pray in the appropriate directions!

Well, I had a great workout - got some nice pumps.

I'm going to double the glycerine and the arginine tomorrow. Should be fun!

if you are homebrewing and looking for a pump, you can do better than arginine.

Sure, but I HAVE arginine. So I'm using it.

What works better, nni?

ohh I would love to hear a good home brew pre-workout mix

Cause well I wanted to hear a response on this

it really comes down to what your goals are. i rarely drink a pure preworkout drink, i have a drink that i start pre and continue throughout. at the base its carbs, bcaa with additional leucine, creatine and BA.

pre game, is really the only time i take something close, and a pump isnt my goal. usually its body octane, plus a gakic knockoff. i find this is great for endurance.

there are several decent additions, both pump and non pump.

What would be a good "pump" addition?

a good Icarrin solo product should give nice pumps. im hesitant to go deeper as there is a new product in the works.

Ahahahahaha gotcha!

I'll look forward to seeing what you guys develop.

 

[tucker01]

Pre-workout. I like something, to just amp me up.

Caffiene alone isn't enough. Ephedrine, I don't like my reaction too.

bump.

You going for the pump purely for vanity reasons or something else? Not really sure what benefits you're trying to achieve here.

Pump for vanity, yep.

As well as Citrulline Malate i would try Geranamine. Much better stim than Ephedrine and works well with Caffeine.
