Pre Workout twice a day??

[stickerrrr]

Is it ok to take a pre workout supplement twice a day??
In the morning before workout and in the evening before workout??

It is fine as long as you don't go over the combined max serving in a 24 hour period. Taking a preworkout in the evening may keep you up at night depending on how close to your bedtime it is.

It is going to depend on how sensitive you are to caffeine if they are stimulant PWO. If it contains a stim you will build a tolerance to it and will need more and more to feel it.
It is hard to say if it is "okay" as everyone is different, but overall the recommended intake of caffeine per day is <400mg total.

What PWO do you take?

[stickerrrr]

I take MR HYDE...
It works great..its just that I'm planning on hitting the gym twice a day for the next two weeks.
that's why I wanted to know to if its ok, to take the PWO twice a day

[qksc2]

I would suggest not.
You do not NEED a pwo and that is loaded with stims.
I wouldn't take that twice a day.
Try taking it in the morning to get yourself going and see how that works.
Personally, I never need the energy any other time.

cool

Hyde is high stim, I definitely wouldn't suggest taking it later in the day at all. It will likely interfere with your nights sleep.

If you feel the need for a pre workout for a late afternoon or night workout you should look into some non stim options like Hemavol, Push10, Opus etc.

I agree with them ^^

I would just decide whether I need more energy in my morning workout or afternoon, and if you're only doing cardio vs lifting too. You're probably better off taking your pre in the morning so it doesn't interfere with your sleep, so if you're doing weights one work out and cardio another, do weights in the morning when you're taking your pre and go for a run in the afternoon.

If you need the boost; why not?
You wouldn't be the first person to have done it.

Thanks for the support! Honestly I would not take Mr Hyde twice a day. If you're going to do that I would maybe take 1/2 scoop before your first workout and the other 1/2 scoop before your second workout. Also melaney had a good suggestion with looking into Hemavol. You could take Hyde during the day and Hemavol for your night workout since it is non stim and won't keep you up all night.

Sometimes I work out in the evening and will take a pre... I get a huge boost, better than in the am because I am already awake... but more often than not it will keep me from having a good sleep. I usually shoot for right after work and I am fine. I drink several cups of coffee in a day and take a Pre and I am fine.. I would just start using 2 smaller doses to see how you feel.

Also its kindof the same as that dude you see drinking 8 cups of coffee a day.... chill out

Look into a stim free PWO for your 2nd training session

[stickerrrr]

yep..I'll take the PWO in the morning when doing weight training...and just do cardio in the evening.

Thanks all

This.
If you are going to use twice make sure you are HALF dosing the product and not exceeding its limits.

As has already been stated, try a stim free pwo during your late session, something like Hemavol for example
