Do the pro's REALLY use pre-workouts

[t-350z]

skimmed through thread but obviously the GOAT ronnie used them all the time at least from what i can see from all his workout videos.

Phil Heath had a few scoops of Neurocore before he did a seminar over here. lol

[EATbigLIFThard]

I drove Flex Lewis to the gym one time and before we left he threw a scoop in his mouth and washed it down with water. It was boss as hell

[naich]

the real question is how many scoops of cell tech hardcore series are they taking? and if they are getting their daily serving of muscle milk in.

In a perfect world i'd get paid to drink muscle milk and muscle milk would taste like this:

Some do, some don't. I know Antoine V & Erik Fankhouser love pre-workouts but at the same time Evan Centopani is not a fan of stimulants. Like other things, it's individual

What a pro takes in videos designed at least partially as marketing is not indicative of what they actually do. I'm sure some use them, but why does it matter? It's just heaps of stimulants and usually underdosed or ineffective other supplements. If you need a pick me up, then I never understood why one didn't just chug a cup of coffee and save $1.50 a workout.

Because preworkouts supps are *way* more than just coffee, and the effect is way more than simply having a cup of coffee, at least for me it is. Coffee doesn't make me feel anything close to like what a preworkout supplement makes me feel like. That beings said, coffee has antioxidants and stuff that some preworkouts supplements don't have.

edit - anyways, I'm sure some do and some don't, just like everyone is saying. Why wouldn't you at least try it every once in a while if you're getting it for free?

[ZBlacktt]

Yeah, I reckon they do.

Been chatting with Phil in the PM's. He said clear your in box so he can respond to your PM.

Have you ever legitimately chugged a cup or two of coffee? Have you ever actually looked at the ingredients in a preworkout? Most of the stimulant base is purely caffeine. Most of the actual efficacious supplements in preworkouts are underdosed and could be bought in bulk for way cheaper and actually dosed properly.

I personally find that the right mix of pcp and coke work just fine.

[jrhodez]

yeah it's called TNE

tried that once. i hit 540 on the shoulder press for reps; the next day i found out i obliterated both my rotator cuffs. would not recommend it.

When you get to ifbb level, pre-workout supps go to a whole new level....
