Should old men really be taking pre-workout?

[WrongAdvices]

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?

[Darren Avey]

Let me answer that. As soon as I ve mopped my floor...with..
FLASH ... DIRECT TO FLOOORRRRRR.

Fuck pre workouts take cialis.

I thought that was messing with your peepers

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

Have you ever tried 60% enriched uranium in your coffee?

"Pre workout" and "post workout" chemical crap are brilliant marketing ideas. Some people must be making shitloads of money with such completely unnecessary plastic containers full of factory waste   







Flashy colors and over the top language do well with their target groups of insecure low IQ young men who still don't understand how to use Google

2 cups of good old coffee for me and I`m good.......works great as I generally train in the AM.

Are you taking actual maple syrup or is it the log cabin high fructose corn syrup stuff

[NaturalWonder83]

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.

[honest]

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.

bruh.

100% maple from grass fed pasture raised organic trees

I quit a couple of years ago around 57.  It was making my HR and BP go too high.  Now I just take a shot of coffee before I go to the gym.

Hold the fuck on, old guys in their 40s? Go fuck yourself.

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)

[Humble Narcissist]

Coffee only. Took Ultimate Orange back in the day. If I took that original formula today I would probably have a massive coronary.

[walkerblocker]

old men should not take pre workout, that shit sucks

[Gym Rat]

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...

("Do I drink 2 nips of vodka with some OJ, or do I guzzle a gallon)...  You get it...

Only the way Piana took it was safe, by snorting it.

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.
