Whats with the "pre-workout" fad?

[anabolichalo]

it's an addictive gimmick for naturals

gives them the illusion they are getting somewhere with that artiificilally enhanced pump (or at least they believe) and more energy


in the end they are still the same small son of a bitch once pump wears off


once i started sterons i quit all that balonie

[kreator]

i would stay away from pre-workouts, yes u are motivated and energized but as soon as the stuff wears off u feel like shit and it can hinder ur sex drive

[jr]

I often find that on days that I don't feel like training but drag myself to the gym anyways, I'm stronger, able to get one or two reps than usual or the weights feel light.  

I haven't come up with an explanation for this phenomenon yet.

Placebo effect.

[Simple Simon]

I never use them, if you are training 30mins to an hour why would you?

nothing to do with test


just side effect of stimulant abuse

yes, probably stress hormones hindering the effects of test

Placebo effect.

No, I don't take pre-workouts of stimulants.

I just mean that often have the best workouts when I feel "tired". It doesn't make sense but it happens most of the time.

This is one of the reasons that I don't take stims.

[Coach is Back!]

Placebo effect.

Hey retard. How about here for breakfast on Sunday...

i dont see myself trainning without caffeine at least
so many benefits, cost almost nothing

coffee is absolutly delicious too

[Rami]

My pre-workout that always works for me when I need it, a small serving of rice/oats with sea salt.  I can easily do 2 hours in the gym and get a good pump on the last set. Works better than any supplement I ever tried.

[SuperTed]

I've never used a pre workout formula. Never saw the point. If you can't motivate yourself to train unless you've taken some stimulant, then you probably shouldn't bother training at all.

[Big Chiro Flex]

If I misunderstood and you were referring to a pre-workout, I would suggest that the 30g of carbs aren't necessary. To me a good pre-workout is mainly for getting better pumps and getting me more pumped to train when I am tired. I don't suggest you use one regularly as they are vaso CONSTRICTORS.

No One please chime in on this question as well:

Say I'm dieting/cutting on a set number of macros, would it make sense to use this product and reduce my carbs from some other meal, or would my carbs be better spent on my usual sweet potatoes/rice that I have pre and post workout?

[NaturalWonder83]

I love pre workouts
I take up to 900g of caffeine a day at times
The results are great
Can't workout without some form of a stim
I like to take them at work
Before social gathering
Whenever I need to be more productive

[muscleman-2013]

I've done some of my best lifts when I'm tired and calm.  In fact I lean towards less stims these days.

Pre workouts will give people the energy or placebo to complete good workouts. Think of it, I know when I first stared out on them I was obsessed and it did give me somehting in terms of energy during workout (maybe placebo effect). So I think that they are good for the industry as a whole.

I have done 240kg squat and 245kg deadlift. If you look up cyrrus 200kg squat you should see that lift.

[Weedlejuice]

People actually fall for this nonsense?

Same people who put a belt on to train arms.

[latiuss]

So many of my mates have ended up shitting blood from using the pre workouts, straining them shits out lol
