Jimmies rustled when I read all these raving reviews of supplements that makes them sound like the second coming of Christ, and when I try them they do absolutely nothing for me. Makes me feel like that party everybody is going to and I wasn't invited.
waste of money girl, get the real stuff use it or dont waste your money, stick to a proper diet and good meals. Its what I keep telling newbs, forget the protein shakes, the pre workouts, the multi vitamins this and that. Eat a steak, a pound of chicken a day and you will do better then any supplement ever can do for you.

Someone's bringing it over now. It's nothing extravagant but it always comes out good. Chicken thigh, diced eggplant and two red potatoes.

Yep, it's one of my friends who's been wanting to learn how to squat and deadlift from me for a while. I told her if she brought it to me I'd pay her bridge toll and let her workout w/me and even give her some of my food after we work out. (I work in a PT studio).

I can taste your sadness (no homo) while I eat steak that came off the grill last night!
I always have a problem making steak that's to be eaten the next day. I like it rare and whenever I reheat it, it always comes out too dry and rubbery... even when i cook it below rare to accommodate the reheating.

The guy has a follow up video where he talks about this as a "negligent discharge".. then someone in the comments wrote, "I think you're father had a negligent discharge about 30 years ago" LOLOL

Totally with you on that. I was thinking more of pre workout supplements. When Craze came out, people were writing stuff like "It's better than Adderal" or "There must be something illegal in it because it made me high as a kite". Tried it, didn't get high at all, strong WTF.
Then people started raving about Detonate and how they had to remind themselves to eat because it's such strong appetite suppressant. Tried it, still hungry as fukk.
Either I don't get it, or they are full of $hit.

Yeah I stopped wasting money on that stuff long time ago, pre workouts, strong black coffe with no sugar or creamer, works wonders and lots of water in the gym.

i stopped a few months back, all pre workout stims. all of em. i sleep better, and function better. good for short term use, perhaps, but that's about it. i was getting headaches...and it seemed like with all things, you just need to keep taking more of something (pre workout stims) to get the same desired effects. nothing can beat consistent restful sleep, and a good diet. not to mention the cost...holy smokes, a lot of this stuff is pricey!

It was a valiant effort, lol. I think if I show up at the gym tomorrow they're going to break both my legs for me though, I've been instructed to stay home until Monday.

I always have guys asking what I take pre and post. Well, nothing. If i'm eating right I don't need anything "special" before I workout.
I can't do stims. I do not like the "amped" up feeling. Good music does more for me than stims.
And no matter the extra special gluco/sucro/creto/metro action of the PWO drink, I'd still rather be hungry enough to eat a steak and potato!

Naw, they didn't physically pick me up, I walked out of there on my own steam. They were just coming over to help. Although that would have been a pretty cool sight, getting carried down the hall by a bunch of people, like everybody grab a limb kind of thing.

At the gym yesterday, apparently this guy was in on the "are you a gym idiot" thread, because he seemed to have had enough time to watch my ENTIRE workout. I am SS and it was squat/press/row day. I add powerlifter's briefcase walks around the gym at the end just cause it feels great for me to do something till failure. Literally in the middle of one of my walks-headphones in, music blaring, weights in hands, mean/in pain look firmly placed on face-this guy steps in front on me. I thought very seriously about just stepping to the side, kneecapping the bastard with the plate in my hand and keeping on, but I stopped. He proceeds to tell me, first off, everything I had done in my workout, and then explain how it was all wrong for MY goals. He then proceeded to tell me about how I need to isolate to get a big upper body so that the ladies will be all over me (never had a problem with women personally, but ya know). I was already so dumbfounded by the chit he was saying that I literally pointed and laughed at him, very loudly when he told be that the power rack is only good for shrugs. A body building couple that I have been talking to heard my laughing and came over to check it out. I told them about his power rack theory...they just walked away and shook their heads. I put in my headphones, so that I couldn't hear anything else he would say, picked up my weights, stepped to the side, leaned in and said "you have pencil legs. Nothing you ever say to anyone will matter. If you EVER step in front of me again, this plate is hitting your balls, and imma keep walking." He had this look like someone just killed his puppy.

Pre workout supps have their place IMO, they do give a boost when you lag in energy. Coffee doesn't do much for me any more, I spent too many years drinking up to 5 coffees a day, I can drink it and go straight to bed. I know supps aren't magic pills, but when you read all these reviews on how a supp does miracles, I sort of wonder if we are even talking about the same product.
Maybe it's like Ron White getting thrown outta the bar by the bouncers..."I don't know how many it would take, but I know how many they were gonna use!"
But, srsly, hope you're feeling better, lady!
Thanks Taiga
LOL... let's see, it took one to get me a Snapple, one to open the Snapple, one to take my pulse, one to ask me if I'd eaten breakfast, one to ask if I felt sick, one to ask if I felt any better... that's six people right there

oh my, your new year is off to a bizarre start! as long as you're smilin...lol
@ sy...i agree, for short term or occasional use, pre work out stims can serve a purpose. i think that when you're say suffering from insomnia, it can be something people reach for, instead of getting to the root of what's causing the insomnia, (just to use an example)
as for me...i've come to realize...jimmy rustling is all in the mind. don't sweat the small stuff, peeps!

I just came to this conclusion too and cut all the stims. I've been noticing my sleep deteriorating and the headaches you mentioned too. This is a pretty recent change for me (2 weeks) but I'm already noticing better sleep and the headaches are going away. At this point, I've even cut out all coffee except for one cup in the morning. Can't really assess how my workouts are effected yet since I'm getting over a nasty virus now and dragging a bit anyway. But actually sleeping through the night has been awesome.
When people disseminate false information just for mass effect. For example, the thread about pigs. Nobody thinks abusing animals is right. But, some of the footage in those videos is grossly misrepresenting what happens on farms. For example, sows in gestation crates. They're there so when they give birth they don't roll over and squish all the piglets, suffocating them to death. They aren't confined there for months on end, they're only there to give birth and nurse the piglets until they're developed enough to eat other food.
Agree or disagree with farm practices, not my judgement call. Just don't send out false information for the sole purpose of scaring people. I don't care if you disagree with the truth, but propaganda like that is infuriating.
I could go on for decades about this sort of thing....

Had an early morning conference call today, so I missed my usual early am workout . . . leg day. No problem--just go over during lunch and knock it out. Now I remember why I go so damn early!!! I get done with leg press and head over to do squats. BOTH racks are taken. The first one by a guy who's doing OHP with about 75 lbs--and "supersetting" with crunches on an exercise ball . . . all within the rack (because he has to anchor his feet on something). Second rack taken up by a guy doing shrugs with 135 lbs. Really??? You need a power cage for that????
At least they weren't curling.
What . . . you've never heard of a 30-year bulking phase before??
LOL... let's see, it took one to get me a Snapple, one to open the Snapple, one to take my pulse, one to ask me if I'd eaten breakfast, one to ask if I felt sick, one to ask if I felt any better... that's six people right there
A regular entourage. Well done!
OK, not the best way to be tended to. Just trying to razz your jennys a bit.

I am down to some vitamins , C, D, Zinc and fish oil no preworkout overpriced crap but I take caffeine pills, 2 before a workout
and some times I take nitric oxide which I find helps a lot when I have tendinitis flare ups

It's the new people. A guy was doing curls and OHP in the power cage. We only have one.
The Golds Gym here in South Carolina is packed like crazy. Full of college students. Lots of eye candy but some people just waste their time and take up space in there. Can get really annoying when a lady is "using" the cable machine when i ask but yet she literally hasn't touched the thing in over 5 mins because she's talking to a friend.
Also--what is up with parents today who let their kids do anything, say anything to them, etc?
