Pre-Workout Drinks - Are you addicted to them?

[ProudVirgin69]

I like them when I'm dieting.. the ultra-sweet flavor really helps with cravings and they help induce a pump even when you're depleted.  Otherwise, i just pop 200mg of caffeine

Oral steroids make the best pre-workouts IMO.  Never tried test no-ester or test-base but I hear that stuff turns you into King Kong

[NaturalWonder83]

I couldn't give 2 fucks what you're impressed with. The thread asked about pre workouts so I answered it, simple as that. If you wanna waste your money on that garbage, go ahead.

wow u r so clueless and in outer space it's mind blowing
I guess millions of people are wrong huh
You know best right

There is no need for preworkout. Just go hard or go home!
Millions of people want a quick fix instead of really pushing themselves.

You should be in the gym an hour tops if you are training hard enough, why the fuck do you need endurance supplements.

Running a marathon fair enough, weight training, get the fuck out of it.

you just don't take pre workouts for workouts-enjoy them throughout the day

U folks all do drugs, drink alcohol, go to clubs, buy expensive cars, gamble
If I don't do any of that but enjoy taking pre workouts what's the problem?

Pre workouts are not for endurance-they're a sub for coke And other illegal drugs so u don't get arrested

You don't have to take them pre workout-and U can have a great workout without em-but to say they're ALL garbage is very foolish

And I would never take one before a marathon that's too risky imo

If you wanna take them go ahead...but by the same token, what's the problem if I don't wanna take them? You are attacking me, calling me clueless, and in outer space lol, just because I don't take pre-workouts. I'm not trying to say I'm "Hardcore" because of it, but the fact is I started training before there were any preworkout drinks, and I've never had any problem getting psyched up for a workout or training hard. That's why it blows my mind when I see 99% of people today that seem to need that boost. Most of them won't even bother coming to the gym if they don't have any pre-workout. Or they lumber around the gym saying "Oh man, I didn't have any pre-workout today, I'm dead!"
Seriously?? lol

here's how i see it:

two guys goes to the gym. one of them take a pre workout before hitting the weights. the other start bitching about what an idiot he is, he shouldnt waste his money, he should be able to hang without that etc etc

would it be ok for the pre-workout-guy to tell the other to fuck the hell off? of course.

and thats what we're doing here. youre that whiny little bitch who cant mind your own business but feel the need to tell others how you feel.

and guess what? people like you can FUCK THE HELL OFF. nobody likes you. nobody wants to be around you. nobody wants to train with you. because youre a little whiny bitch who cant mind your own fucking business and you feel you know best and need to tell the whole world about it.

Its the caffeine...

[ratherbebig]

[wes]

I`m addicted to coffee in the am which is when I train........fuck all those other stupid hyped up drinks.

[ratherbebig]

the problem is u calling them garbage-some are, but there are good ones out there
If u feel great training, and feel good all the time, why not drink a tasty drink that makes u feel incredible
Don't judge all pre workouts on the actions of a few morons

Like I said many times before, why do you americans fuck with these powders when you can
get ephedrine?

Uppers sure help even if you are self-motivated and can train hard without them. There's a reason
these things are tested for in competition settings. Personally a "speed-ball" stack is best. Downers may be
counterintuitive in a training/competition setting but they can help in pushing harder than you ever did before.

One thing I found fascinating is the research that came out on paracetamol/apap. It has been shown to improve cycling and
sprint performance. But what's really interesting is the psychological effects. It reduces psychological pain, not just physical pain.

One powerlifter wrote an article on alcohol and max effort lifts:

Now I didn't try the alcohol myself yet. But the reasoning can apply to other drugs as well, what I said about the "downers".

Finally, someone who is speaking my language. I'll stack this regiment with The Adonis Principles for maximum effectiveness!

Are we gonna resolve this once and for all or is this going to end up with the usual 'do what works for u and peace be upon you' whore shit?

[NaturalWonder83]

it never will be resolved because so many people live with horrible misconceptions of pre workouts
People want to waste their money on dumb stuff like watches, yet they want to crucify people who use pre workouts
The pre workout community is fucking fed up

[cephissus]

It would seem people are quite confused about this "working out" business...

[The Ugly]

Wtf? If pre-workout is anything other than coffee, I think maybe you bought into some bullshit. Caffeine, right? What's this pre-workout drink?

Far as addiction goes, though, yeah. I do find myself injecting more and more heroin even when I'm not hungry.

It's not so dumb when one of you watchless pre-workouters wanna know what time it is though......then you come to us watch wearing, hardcore, no pre workout drinking mother fuckers and ask what time it is.

hey man-if that's how u see it, I don't think pre workouts are for u

But if u do really do heroin maybe u could try replacing the heroin with pre workouts
