Title: Should old men really be taking pre-workout?
Post by: WrongAdvices on April 04, 2026, 10:12:27 AM
What is the age that you stopped at or think they should be stopped at if any?

It would seem to be pushing it for older guys over 40?  Isn’t all that caffeine and God knows what else begging for a heart attack?

It seems kind of like Ozempic. But there are worst risks from being 50 pounds overweight. If a pre-workout will get you into the gym with a kick of 100 and 150 g of caffeine versus not going to the gym at all you’re better off being there and getting the benefits from working out a couple days a week if you’re not going to.

Stopped like 20 years ago.

If I need a boost, coffee with honey or 2 tbsp maple syrup.

Right, now, 80% of the time I take beetroot + creatine

Pre workouts are fantastic. Nothing better than getting your shaker ready, weighing the powder, pouring the water, and getting a nice shake as you hear the blender ball rattle. It’s your own time of the day and it’s “you time”. It’s such a rewarding experience sipping the pre workout and knowing you’re on the way to the gym. Or even better if you sip your pre workout on the way to the gym.

People enjoy drinking at the bars and speakeasys for the same reasons. It brings you joy and is your time to yourself to alter your mindset and perception.

If you don’t want to drink a pre workout powder, a nice expresso or 5 hour energy works well.

But if you’re an older individual with health issues, it’s probably not a wise idea. You should still find a safe food or beverage to enjoy before your workout or power walk that will alter your reality and make you euphoric.

I recommend ordering Vermont maple syrup from Silloway Farms, Baird Farms, or Jed’s Maple. I’ve been enjoying maple candies a lot as well. I really feel maple syrup is a great carb source.

I train at 4am each morning on an empty stomach and have limited carbs during the day. Have used it for years so tolerance is up but find it helps me stay lean and gives me energy in a state where I have no carbs, basically assists me with getting into ketosis. Find it hugely beneficial in that environment take half a dose before weight workout then second half dose before I go on my 45 min daily walk.
I do crash after it, meaning need a twenty minute nap, but it's a good routine to stay lean.

Fair point. I didn’t want to make it too old that everyone would ignore as an obvious yes or too young to be derided.

Really if you’re drinking a couple cups of coffee or a Monster/Red Bull it’s pretty much the same. But everyone I know in their 60s+ is at least drinking coffee (not Sanka)

I have a couple PWO's (though I dont enjoy that stim-feel). However, I train 4-5 days at 5:30 AM.
(Im also 60 fucking yrs old and still train heavy Powerlifting).

BUT, I do not use what they tell you to use. The scoops can be like 10 grams. (I have "CHEMIX" right now).
I use a 3 gram scoop and it gives me a light boost, nothing crazy. Learn how to use stuff, do it yourself, and there are no issues.
(Their dose for Chemix is 9 grams) so I'm only using a 3rd and its a nice little boost...

Nothing is really bad for you if you know what you are doing and use it wisely...

Guys, pre workout is fine if you don’t have health issues. Think of it like drinking booze. I’m sure some of you go to bars or have brandy at night. I’m sure you feel good drinking it. I’m sure as you’re pouring the alcohol into your glass you look forward to the experience?

It’s the same as pre workout before the gym. Sit in your car early in the morning, have your heat on if it’s cold out, take some sips, listen to the radio, take a deep breath, and feel the euphoria building. Even the smell of the powder in the air after mixing your shake is satisfying.

Or what about you cigar smokers. I’m sure some of you visit humidors and get excited seeing all the cigars. The supplement shop is the same.

Or have some coffee. Or maple syrup concoction like Ape consumes.

Point is, pre workout drinks or pre workout concoctions are a great way to stop the world, suspend time momentarily, and focus on yourself. It’s a guaranteed perfect workout experience in a bottle that tastes great and makes you feel like a new person.

Ive been asking myself this for a few years now. Some pwo's have as much as 500 or 600 mgs of caffeine per dose! That is a crazy amount.

I also have an essential tremor which I can be self conscious about especially if Im doing any kind of public speaking engagement. And stimulants- especially caffeine- increase the tremor noticeably. Aside from that, something is going to give sooner or later. Maybe not at 50 or 55 but surely if you're slamming 4 or 5 hundred milligrams of caffeine and then lifting heavy weights for a few hours, you'd think it would eventually result in a heart attack or stroke, if not kidney damage from elevated blood pressure.

Ive struggled a lot with stimulant use. Mostly caffeine but modafinil, dextroamphetamine, Adderall, DMHA, DMAA
And have used pre-workouts for 20 years- since my mid 30s.

The thing is stimulants really don't do much for me but it's more of a mental addiction than physical.  Im always looking for the so-called "focus" but stimulants don't actually enhance focus.

I have found that some "nootropics" enhance creativity and increase energy as a result of heightened euphoria, and certain things like music, for example, sounds better and so I use certain nootropics in place of preworkouts and have cut back on my stimulant use... again. The best nootropic is phenibut in any of its various forms, baclofen and gabapentin (all gabaminergics) seem to provide the 'focus' that pre-workouts promise.

I plan on trying methelene blue. Ive read/heard that it has nootropic effects but isn't necessarily a stimulant and mostly has antioxidant properties but haven't tried it myself.

I got a great deal on Mr. Hyde from Costco. It's the new gimmick where you get a jug that divided in half with two different flavors; and, if you mix them together, you get a third flavor.

The one I have contains "Blue Razz" (Blue Raspberry) on one side and "Strawburst" (Strawberry) on the other. Each serving is 2 scoops. You get the third flavor, "Berry Punch", by combining one scoop of each powder.

Coffee is good, but not great.

Calling all pre workouts “chemical waste” isn’t accurate. Yes, there are some lower quality pre workouts floating around. But the same can be said about frozen pizzas, breads, toothpaste, and hot dogs.

Coffee is nice and can be a good pre workout. But there are also downsides to having coffee as a pre workout. You will eventually get stained teeth, nasty coffee breath, your toothbrush will stink from coffee brushing, smelly coffee filters in the garbage can, and the risk of electrical fires from coffee brewing machines/expresso machines.

You also do not get to enjoy euphoria with coffee. Taking a high quality pre workout puts you in an amazing mood, clears your mind, increases focus, and guarantees a great workout. Yes, you can and should be able to have a productive workout without stimulants. But if it’s nice to have access to a delicious, refreshing beverage that’s like drinking a lollipop.  And then to make it even better, you get guaranteed an incredible and satisfying workout. That’s 100% a no brainer.

People love alcohol and enjoy having their drinks. I’ve never had a drop of alcohol in my life, but I would imagine it’s a relaxing and enjoyable experience that some people can enjoy responsibly. Pre workouts for me, and many others, are the same enjoyable experience.

Coffee is good.

You will eventually get stained teeth, nasty coffee breath, your toothbrush will stink from coffee brushing, smelly coffee filters in the garbage can, and the risk of electrical fires from coffee brewing machines/expresso machines.

Drop a little milk into your coffee. Milk proteins will stick to the tannins in your coffee and lessen that teeth darkening effect.
Also I would suggest that you rinse your toothbrush after use and maybe even change it once in a while. Taking the garbage bag out into a bin helps with smell.

Moving in with the Amish community eliminates the risk uof coffee maker electrical fire as it can happen with TVs, fridges, computers or any electrical household appliance.

All old men should be taking test,gh,anavar and cialis and give zero fucks.

But with the cialis, presumably, one could give many fucks.

If coffee (caffeine) leaves you jittery just drink green tea (caffeine without the jitters/side effects)

Cold brew green tea is also a very refreshing drink. No homo

Actually, a dude in Tennessee made  Mountain Dew.  He created it as a mixer for whiskey.   True story.

And I hate coffee too.  Especially when other people drink it and have it on their breath.

Ive been asking myself this for a few years now. Some pwo's have as much as 500 or 600 mgs of caffeine per dose! That is a crazy amount.

I also have an essential tremor which I can be self conscious about especially if Im doing any kind of public speaking engagement. And stimulants- especially caffeine- increase the tremor noticeably. Aside from that, something is going to give sooner or later. Maybe not at 50 or 55 but surely if you're slamming 4 or 5 hundred milligrams of caffeine and then lifting heavy weights for a few hours, you'd think it would eventually result in a heart attack or stroke, if not kidney damage from elevated blood pressure.

Ive struggled a lot with stimulant use. Mostly caffeine but modafinil, dextroamphetamine, Adderall, DMHA, DMAA
And have used pre-workouts for 20 years- since my mid 30s.

The thing is stimulants really don't do much for me but it's more of a mental addiction than physical.  Im always looking for the so-called "focus" but stimulants don't actually enhance focus.

I have found that some "nootropics" enhance creativity and increase energy as a result of heightened euphoria, and certain things like music, for example, sounds better and so I use certain nootropics in place of preworkouts and have cut back on my stimulant use... again. The best nootropic is phenibut in any of its various forms, baclofen and gabapentin (all gabaminergics) seem to provide the 'focus' that pre-workouts promise.

I plan on trying methelene blue. Ive read/heard that it has nootropic effects but isn't necessarily a stimulant and mostly has antioxidant properties but haven't tried it myself.

Isn't Methelene Blue a surgical dye?  Or is that the name of some other supplement thing?

I am very sensitive to stims and back in 2013 or 2014 I bought a box of Modvigil (modafinil).  Each tab is 200mg.  1/4th of a tab will wire me up the entire day.  Today I still have over half the box.  That is how infrequently I use it.  On a side note, somewhere I have about 500 tabs from the old source IP.  Unfortunately there are two problems with this.  1-  they are tiny.  like the size of a BB.  So I can't half or quarter them.  Which (for me) makes them too strong.   2- You take it and all day long there is a overpowering taste in your mouth.  Like you just sucked the last fart out of a three day old dead man.

How do you like it? Does it affect your hunger levels at all?
I like it, the pump is unreal, nice smooth energy, nothing too crazy though, nothing that feels like a heart attack waiting to happen. I'm not sure if it affects my hunger levels, I can still eat after my workout

He took methylene blue? I thought he only ate scrotum.

I didn't know that. Others have talked about its benefits,  Huberman, Rogan and a few others.

He was taking it like it was going out of fashion when he had his psychotic episode.

This could be describing me down to the essential tremor.

Stims with gabaergics is the best for workouts, or anything. At least I think so. I absolutely love stims but seem to be able to drop them for months without too many problems as well, so I don't know how "addictive" they are for me really.

I tried Methylene Blue but didn't notice anything from 5mg doses.

Do we?  It certainly ain't like it was years ago and all the cold medicine had it taken out long since.  YOu have to get it from behind the counter from the staff.

Plus if you take ephedrine (mini-thins) that screams drug addict but caffeine is in coffee.  People can't handle ephedrine being sold so easily.

Yes I've read that it's behind thee counter, you have to show ID and you can only buy a limited amount each month. But it's at least something, you could stock up for a while and ask friends to buy it for you too. It's of course restricted because you can make meth from it. I miss ephedrine, pretty much used it every day for 15 years LOL. Now it's been more than a decade since it disappeared from the black market here. But it's so much "better" than high doses of caffeine. Low dose caffeine and low dose ephedrine = much better than high dose caffeine or any current  PWO. One thing I have to point out, ephedrine by itself is not that strong of a stim, many can sleep after having taken it without caffeine.

Not all of them. There are some very good pre workouts that make you feel very euphoric, increase focus, and get you wired. Some of the mainstream ones are weak and are nothing more than caffeine with garbage added.

Though I haven't checked I don't think there are any really good stims in PWOs currently. Like actually euphoric. I think there are probably some stims on the "legal research chemical" market but then you have to use bitcoin to buy them and you don't know how safe they are :D In the UK you can still buy DMAA and DMHA PWOs.

Someone try these grey area supps (drugs) and tell me if they were any good. beakdoctor maybe? :D All you other guys are too much of a pussy :D

This may be baloney but AI says this:

While Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn't typically make a bourbon-specific shake, he is famous for spiking his post-workout drinks with alcohol. He usually prefers Austrian schnapps or tequila (and once famously mixed his drink with moonshine), under the belief that the liquor helps the protein enter his bloodstream faster. (LOL)

Arnold's Go-To Protein Shake Recipe

Arnold blends the following ingredients into his post-gym shake:

Liquid Base: Unsweetened almond milk and cherry juice.

Protein: Whey protein or a plant-based powder like Ladder.

The "Secret": A shot of Austrian schnapps or tequila.

Add-ins: A whole raw, unpeeled egg (which he keeps in for extra nutrients) and a sliced banana

Again, I hate coffee! And, if you get them on clearance, pre-workout powder are even cheaper than coffee and taste better.

Plus, I'm a happy warrior. I don't train well when I'm angry. When I'm in a good mood and just focused on the iron (not my job, nor my wife or kids), I get in there and act a fool. No iron/rubber/vinyl/plastic weight is safe!!! ;D

Indeed!! The boost, the tingles, all of it!!

But, try to get it on clearance if you can, either from Vitamin Shoppe or Costco (as I did).

It ain't worth $60. But, for $22 (or less).....it's definitely worth the try.

Thanks. Much appreciated. Vitamin Shoppe lets you try and then return it if you don’t like it. So I’m going that route.

You're welcome. They may have other flavors; but I can only vouch for the Blue Razz/Strawburst/Berry Punch one.
