Poor Man's Supplement..
Anyone ever use Coffee and Aspirin before a workout?
I am so broke lately that I have been having a cup or two of good 'ole Java and a couple of 325mg Aspirin to get me motivated to get in and knock out my workouts.
Anyone else try this with any positive results?

nah bro, im broke too, typical college kid. I just bought a **** lot of stuff in bulk though that should last 4-5 months. all you need for a preworkout drink is a little caffiene (200mg),arginine (3g),and creatine (5g).....if you want to get fancy you can add taurine,beta alanine, c. mallate... the point being i got all that stuff in bulk for about 30 bucks and that should last a loooooong time. oh and i bought kool-aid cos that stuff taste like pretty raw, 1 scoop and your good.
either go to bb store and search underlistings and buy the cheapest per serving, or got o supplementdirect.com ( i am not a rep or anything, but just let u know what i did)

I dont know man. Call me stupid, but doesn't caffeine work counterproductive to muscle gains? Its a diuretic and if your taking creatine, it has the opposite effect...
Though by the looks of you, I wouldnt say you have much to worry about ha (no homo)

caffeine
caffeine is good for your work out most expensive preworkout drinks have about as much as 2 cups of coffee and asprin thins your blood out so if you can spend 3or4 bucks and buy a bottle of argenine you should have a pretty decent low budget stack

the caffeine is fine, look at 99% of the "preworkout energizers" out there; they main energizer is caffeine in some form. The classic fat burning stack of ephedrine and caffeine was just that, some ephedrine tabs and caffeine tabs.
that said, the asprin is a bad idea. The use of asprin can inhibit protein synthesis.

What's the point of Asperin?
Caffiene is a life saver though. 200mgs and I'm golden.

aspirin thins the blood and stops the bodies reaction to ephedrine and caffeine which causes inflamation

Thank you..
I actually read a couple of those posts on that link before my head began to throb and fearing it might explode I stopped.
Thanks a bunch for the link though, it appears as if the Aspirin I might do without. Maybe if I can get some Clenbuterol I will replace the caffeine as well. lol

exactly..
You are exactly where I was measurement and weight wise in 2004!
The only reason that isn't my goal at present is because I am looking to be much leaner and can't afford the street supplements necessary to be 220lbs and 10% bf.

Yeah a cup of coffee before your workout will work. Most supps you buy will have caffene in them, so that would be a great cheap subsutute. Don't know much about taking asprin before your workout tho.

Broke ass college kid?? Brother I am 38 you are 23, when I was 23 you were 8 years old and your mom was still making your peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for you to take to school in the 3rd grade. When I was 23 I was in Mogadishu Somalia as an Infantry soldier in the U.S. Army. While you were still playing with toy boats in the ****in bath tub and giggeling at your farts as they bubbled up.
Watch your mouth Kid!

Any guy who thinks 38 is old is still trying to impress high school girls.
Lies, do yourself a favor and stop hanging around high schools on your lunch break. You can get arrested for that SHIIT. Kinderschreck!
