just curious, what do you take for preworkout?

[gewaltiger]

if anything at all?
i used to take 50mg of ephedrine, 400mg caffeine, 6mg l-arginine and 3g beta-alanine , always did the trick
im stopping preworkouts except on my mock competition days at the end of each week . today was my first day without a preworkout and it sucked balls. but i dont know if thats cuz im not used to a stim or because i was forced into another grueling ass crossfit routine this morning, about4 hours before i lifted
so what do you take, and do you think its best to always train on preworkouts or only use them on mock comp days ?

[SquatzAndPuke]

Nothing really...I try to get some food about an hour before I lift but thats about it.

[gewaltiger]

i didnt take them in highschool either, i noticed there were a lot less 'off days' when i didnt rely on them. thats why im cycling off, even though i should take them sometimes since the marine corps has me doing so much gay **** that wears me out ontop of my lifting

[trap-bar]

food and milk. never fried food or mcdonalds food though cause it gives me the craps....

[madaozeki]

food and sleep

[raffiki]

Some protein with leusine and glutamine.

[r_graz]

Caffeine before, protein/creatine/glutamine after.

[gewaltigsbabe]

i usually drink water and eat a yummy fruit like a banana. but you know this, since you see me do it.

Today my pre-workout meal was:

6 oz steak, 300ml Balkan Yogurt, and 3/4 cup blue berries

[crackyflipside]

Usually just eat a meal an hour or so before going to the gym. On short notice I'll just eat a handful of almonds and blueberries.

Wow that's a lot of ephedrine and caffeine! I'd be through the roof and running laps!

Oatmeal and protein shake for me, sometimes a coffee

[Bensauce]

A couple servings of fruit - 30 minutes before start of warmup

Half of a chicken sandwich (chicken, lettuce, tomato) - 10 minutes before start of warmup

ive had to take so much because most mornings i am running more than 4 miles among performing other vigorous bodyweight exercises. its not abnormal to run even 7 miles
so my legs are usually pretty tired and need it

[AusLifter06]

Nothing like a pre-workout coffee to help increase concentration. Ofcourse a well balanced meal of protein,carbs and fats is always there.

Most people, myself included, would most likely take that stuff too if we had to run 7 miles on top of our training. Hell - I'd probably start popping ammonia caps after 2 miles.

[gewaltiger]

I've always wanted to try ammonia caps but never seen them at stores

You feel like crap because your used to the stims it will take some time but your body will
readjust, that's what sucks about stims.

yeah =) yesterday was absolutely horrible, although i did do a brutal crossfit routine before my session. i used no stims yesterday
today all i used was 200mg caffeine and my workout was spectacular

[lewdog_5]

A meal about 90 minutes before training and then I sip on some Xtend and Creatine Mono throughout my workout. Never liked stims and I don't drink coffee.

[Arlecchino]

Train in the mornings, if I eat first I will puke.
