Lifting Weights In A Courteous Manner with the NEW Dymatize Pre!

[YouMadOrMirin]

Big Shoutout and Thank You to TheMatzah, Dymatize, and the rest of the Dymatize team, Swuuu, Tayd, and Violettt! Due to them I was able to be an early access VIP for the new preworkout Dymatize is coming out with.



So far everything is good. I've used it twice and had great results. First workout was Wednesday.

Hit up Shoulders for a nice light weight, high rep workout.

Seated db press 30x15 40x15 50x15 50x15
Cable lateral raises 4 sets of 7.5x12
Bent over cable lateral raises 4 sets of 7.5x10
Overhead press 3 sets of 65x15
Db front raises (simultaneous) 3 sets of 15x12
Close grip converging shoulder press 3 sets of 50x15

First impressions were that it lasted my entire workout and I felt energized the entire time. I also didn't have a crash at the end so that was a plus. I had only eaten some strawberries and raspberries that day so I had a pretty empty stomach and after ingesting I felt the beta alanine tingles like crazy, was pretty horrible because I started to itch like crazy. But other than that it was a good experience, that slowly dissipated and wasn't too big of a deal, was just a little bit of a shock because I wasn't ready for it. The flavor I got was Handspun Cotton Candy, which I enjoy completely. At first the flavor took me aback because I had no idea how it was going to taste. But it tastes delicious, the only problem is that even with a decent amount of water there is a little grit left over after mixing thoroughly. Not too big of a deal but when I take that last sip I can taste all the grit.


My workout for Thursday was another light weight, high rep workout but this time I did Arms.

Tricep extension with rope 12.5x20 17.5x15 22.5x15 27.5x15
Ez bar curls 3 sets of 40x15
Tricep extension with v-bar 20x15 25x15 30x15
Single arm cable upright curl 3 sets of 15x15
Reverse grip single arm cable tricep extension 3 sets of 10x15
Db hammer curls (simultaneous) 3 sets of 20x15
Single arm cable tricep kickbacks 3 sets of 10x15

Second time using was a lot more enjoyable due to actually eating a little over an hour before taking it. I didn't have the crazy itch like the day before and it was a pretty nice workout. I played basketball for about 30-40 minutes before I started lifting and the preworkout lasted the entire time I was playing basketball and even felt energetic after I finished lifting Arms.

With such a solid formula I knew this would be a solid preworkout and it hasn't let me down yet. I just have to make sure I eat some food an hour prior to taking it so I wont get the crazy tingle/itch feeling. I would rate this an 8/10 overall so far, we will see if that rating changes throughout my log though. So far everything is pointing to a solid experience just after the first two days.

The energy aspect is getting a lot of rave reviews.

The energy aspect is getting a lot of rave reviews.

I'm definitely a big fan since I don't have a crash afterwards. I remember back in the day almost every preworkout I would take had a serious crash afterwards and it would be weird because I couldn't go to sleep even though I felt tired as can be.




Third workout using the preworkout and I hit up Back.

Wide grip lat pulldown 4 sets of 55x20
Two arm long bar row 4 sets of 45x20
Bent over barbell row 4 sets of 95x15
Single arm db row 4 sets of 50x12
Lateral pulldown 4 sets of 45x15

Ive been doing a lot of light weight, high rep workouts lately and it feel good to have a change of pace from lifting heavy so often. Energy levels and pump are still going great and I haven't had any tolerance issues so far. Its been a steady feeling the first 3 uses.

[NoCarbsNoSugar]

I have the same flavor.
Totally enjoying it.
Great workouts!

Thanks, it tastes great but the first couple sips are so weird because my brain is like "Liquids shouldn't taste like cotton candy" lol.

Hit up Legs yesterday for a light Deadlift session with some balance and functional exercises.

Strongboard balance squats 5 sets of 10
Single leg kettlebell deadlifts 3 sets of 15x12
Barbell deadlifts 135x12 185x8 185x8 185x8 185x8
Leg extensions 55x12 70x12 85x12 100x12
Single leg Freemotion calf press 200x15 240x15 280x15 320x15 360x15 400x15
Slide steps with grey band 3 sets of 20 steps each way

Preworkout is still hitting me great with focus, energy, and pump. No qualms with it so far. Still a little gritty but not as bad since I've raised the water amount a little bit with each workout. But that isn't too big of a deal.

[YouMadOrMirin]

Hit up Chest today.

Flat db bench press 30x15 50x15 60x15 70x15 80x15
Machine fly 160x12 175x12 190x12 205x12
Incline db press 45x15 50x15 55x15 60x15
Incline db fly 4 sets of 20x12
Cable iron cross 3 sets of 40x15
Decline leverage press 4 sets of 90x20

The preworkout hit me a little slower than before so I took an extra 1/4 scoop 20 mins later and that did the trick. Going to see if 1 scoop is enough for a few more times and if its not I'm going to bump it up a 1/4 more.

Energy is still good with each time and I haven't had too much of a tolerance issue with it. I know now that my food intake plays a pretty big role though because when I don't eat much in the hours before I take it I get a mad tingling feeling which is alright.

I'm pretty happy with Dymatize Pre so far and have nothing bad to say about it. The Handspun Cotton Candy still tastes pretty good and hasn't gotten tiring.

[YouMadOrMirin]

Did a nice light workout for my holiday gym sess. Tried something new with the Swiss Ball Planks, was a sight to see.

Strongboard squats 5 sets of 10
1-leg kettlebell deadlifts 4 sets of 20x15
Bulgarian split squats 4 sets of 12 reps each leg
Planks with hands and feet on Swiss balls 8 sets 20-60 seconds each (as long as I can hold each one without dying)

Tolerance levels still going strong. Only had a banana for breakfast so the preworkout hit me pretty hard at first but it slowly settled to good levels. All in all a good workout.

[YouMadOrMirin]

Here are my Friday and Saturday workouts.

Was feeling a little unmotivated during my Arm session but I still had good energy and was able to get a quick session in before I had to leave. On Saturday I had a pretty intense leg session. Its been one day and I can already feel the lactic acid build up in my legs. Was strong throughout the entire workout and was able to do everything I wanted to.

My thoughts so far are that this preworkout is excellent after the first 2 weeks of using it. Cant complain about anything but the tingling/itching I get when I take it with little food being ingested before, other than that is works well within the parameters I want for my preworkout.

[taydbear7]

Strong workout man. The tingling/itching hasn't gone away? Usually your body adjust to it after a few uses.

Its only bad if I have just like a banana for breakfast, with an actual meal an hour or two before I take it I am fine.
