No pre-workout supps except maybe caffeine if I need it. Back when I used supps pre-workout I didn't see any noticeable difference in gains compared to without, to be honest. Sure they get you jacked and give you a great pump, but after that? Eh.

wtf you mean you stoped taking protein :O really man saying that kind of sh*t about here will get you in the red  )
there is a reason you lost 6lb when you stoped "protein".... malnutrition ?

Is this serious?
I usually get 1lbs/week whilst bulking and thats without any pre workout supps.
Whey, creatine, multivitamin and fish oil caps - all you need.

Naw, they're a waste of money IMO. I just have a solid meal two hours before and a banana a half hour before working out.

hey bro i got this really cool idea wanna know what it is its called use these awesome things called periods it makes what you are trying to say so much easier for use to read and if you dont RANDMLY CAPITALIZE AND MISSPELL WORS IT WOLUD be a lot easier to read also i see there that you used one of these newfound period things it really helps in separating thie thoughts and makes you actually sound like you know what you are talking about when you dont use periods i just think ur a moron and then i completely disregard anything you said because i dont listen to morons comprende?

i've tried liftin without a pre workout...i'm sure it's more of a placebo effect but i just feel like i don't want to be there. i just kind of go through the motions and don't feel the energy like i do if i take something before.

Been taking NOXAVOL, stuff is pretty good, one of the few NO supps to give me a decent pump and to get my veins popping. I suppose the only good thing about taking pre workout supps besides the pump is that they claim to give you more endurance and strength during your lift, which can lead to more reps, and more reps lead to more muscles built. But idk if NOXAVOL has given me more reps, but def a good pump.
