Making Your Own Pre

[Rjeezie]

First off... been A LONG time since I've been on these boards and since I've used supps. Hey, life happens right....

So, I'm getting back into the swing of things and wanted to start using a Pre again. Been away so long I started looking at what's new out there, etc. It seems to me more and more people are going the route of making their own pre. So since I never considered this route, I have a few questions.

1. Do you find it cheaper when you make your own?
2. What would you consider absolutely critical to add, and what are some things you could or could not add?


Thanks

I don't think more and more people are making their own pre. It's not usually worth the time, effort, or even cost, unless by pre you mean caffeine and citrulline and that's about it.

Critical? Caffeine.

If you have to ask these questions I'd say save your time and effort and just buy a pre and get on with it

Appreciate it. Though I ask these questions so I can learn just like everybody else!

I guess I just jumped to conclusions that more people were making their own! I'll check out the ones you listed. Appreciate it.

I'll mix some different stuff together, but I use other products (i.e. adding stim free pre with stimmed pre, or just adding creatine to a pre). I don't know anyone that mixes their own anymore. Most pres out there are pretty complete and well dosed these days. Plus, the flavoring aspect.

Gotcha. Yeah, it looks that way from the few responses I got. So I'm just gonna shift gears and look into pres. Might do a stimmed/pump boost combo.

Kudos on the positive vibe on learning!

Not 100% srs

For real though, anything that gives a caffeine + sugar kick will get you moving. I usually have a banana and shot of espresso 30min pre.. if you need something stronger, take a double dose of caffeine. If you need something stronger, convince yourself that you dont.. imo

I'm just coming back to the game myself, your post brought me out from the shadows lurking.

looks like supplements have come a helluva way when I used to make my own

Electrolyte powder
Beta Alanine
ephedrine
Caffeine
Taurine
1,3 Dimethylamylamine (think they made it illegal now though)
Citruline Malate
L-Arginine HCL (correct me if I'm wrong, but I've glanced that arginine gone to **** now too?)
Vitamin B Complex
Tyrosine


I'm hella rusty though, fresh off the "life" bandwagon too. But I'm slowly making a comeback to lifting heavy
Just did my first heavy deads the other day in over 12 months of no serious lifting, 145kg x 6 150kg x 5 160kg x 2 (though I couldn't help myself and used a grenade sample for pre workout ahh)

NIce man. Welcome back!!!!

[naturalguy]

You can but it's never going to taste as good or be as convenient as a pre-made and there are some really good formulas out there now

[JamesA1990]

Ive made my own really simple pre and it works great


Something that all pre's are missing - fast carbs


Squatting with a bunch of juicy sodium and carbs in me is great



200 mg caffiene
60g carbs - maltodexterin
teaspoon of beta alanine
teaspoon of creatine
