I understand they endorse them but do you think they use them on a regular basis? I always imagined that their high intake of food and maybe some coffee was an adequate energy source for them.

Its a good question, Can not see why they would not if they do not have to pay for them. The thing is even if they did not use them they could not say that they did not or they would loose their contracts. This question would need to be answered by an ex pro who is no longer on a contact or marketing their own supps.

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

I also think, over the years they've become mentally conditioned and focused on the task at hand. You take a look at any random lifter, like myself, and yeh most us use pre-workouts. And that's because it's not a job, there isn't a title at the end of the line, perhaps even less drive. Yet for a pro, and the fact it's essentially their job/career, it's just a regular day at the office.. just my thoughts..
Yeh, would love hear from a bodybuilder what the scoop is on them!

Maybe some times,but Pre workouts often contains a lot of caffeine and other stimulators that stresses your body, and it realses cortisone and thats on of the most catabolic hormones in the body.
it might also have some negative effect on the sleep and water balance in your body, so my guess would be they only use it when they rely need it

This, I started taking Ultimate Orange back in 1994. It was the best thing ever. I only used it up until it was pulled from the market which I think was around 2001 ish. I recall still being able to find it back then. But I knew it was getting pulled. It went away for about 2 years and then came back with a new formula. But it wasn't even close to the same anymore
Many times in Pro's lifting videos. You can see them drinking colored drinks in gallon sized water jugs.US Marine Corps Vet 8 years ( 92/00 ) - Semper Fi - ★cVc★

When I went to Japan twice in the early 90's. You would see this stuff all over around town. It would be in tall glass jars filled with liquid. I never used it as I had no clue at the time of all it's affects. Plus you just never knew what would pop bad on a piss test in the Marines. So I never took chances. But yeah, everywhere I saw this stuff. They also had advertising pictures of Arnold there as well.

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.
