Pre Workout Drink

I love NO-Explode and Fast Twitch, but of course the creatine bloats me. Can any women recommend a pre workout drink they like that is similar, without creatine? But at the same time, I like the pump from the NO-Explode when I?m training. I appreciate it, thanks!

Creatine shouldn't bloat you if dosed properly (eg. 1g per 40 lbs of bodyweight). However, a couple good creatine free preworkout products are Controlled Labs White Flood and Designer Supplements NO Limits. NO Limits is caffeine free as well, so if you wanted caffeine, you would have to add it yourself.

I've been taking Controlled labs green mag, 0.5 scoops per day, without bloating.

I've never had a bloating problem w/ creatine. Are you drinking enough water?

I drink a TON of water. It causes me to hold water around my waist and abs. When I cut it out, I see a huge difference in a couple days and my waist is noticeably smaller. Maybe I will just stick with one scoop of the NO-Explode before my workout. Thanks for the info though!

You don't leave the NO Xplode or other creatine containing product in water for long periods of time right? I'd drink it right after you mix it up.

Yes, I drink it 45mins before my workout, only when I weight train.
