How do you take your pre-workout

[Blue5ohhhh]

Has anyone ever tried putting the powder in their mouth first then drink a little bit of water, does it hit you faster and harder like that??

i add a scoop to about 6-8oz of water depending on what the instructions say and then i chug it after my first warm up set of my first lift at the gym

I just drink it with a half glass of water.


I see no reason in shot gunning. If you want it to hit faster, just drink it on an empty stomach.

I know of people who do it like that, but I've never personally tried it. I just mix mine with 8oz of water 20-30 minutes before I start training.

^ this. But try to have on empty stomach as well. I eat tuna and brown rice two hours before, then take my pre.

When I take my D-stunner, I generally mix up a cocktail of water, aminos and D-stunner. I"ve shot it strait too, but DON'T inhale when you do that, or you will be coughing uncontrollably . not recommended!

thanks guy was just wondering how it would affect you and if it was a good ideal, i saw jay cutler doing it on a video and was wondering about it

Empty stomach = faster it'll "hit" you. Usually just take my pre K-OTIC around 15 minutes prior though 2-3 hours after my last meal.

When I take C4 I just use the shotgun method and dump the powder in my mouth and take a swig of water. With my current mix, I add HemaVol, creatine, and beta alanine to 8 oz. and just shake it up and chug it. So good I wish I could drink it all day.

Mix with 14oz of water and drink on my way to the gym, about 20 min pre workout. Hits me about 1st set and stays throughout.

I put whatever I'm using into a shaker (I'm usually stacking a stim pre with Hemavol and maybe a scoop of Compete or a scoop of Cor beta BCAAs and maybe a scoop of Oximega Greens because it contains beet root and other nitrates rich ingredients plus it helps mute the flavors of a strong flavoured pre and all the other stuff mixed together) with 12-16 oz of water. I down that and then fill the shaker with another 12 oz, swish it around to get whatever I missed the first time around and down that. I'm basically trying to hit 20-24 oz of water before I hit the gym to make sure I am well hydrated.
