Why do people take pre-workout? Do you really need to stuff your body full of caffeine to be able to go to the gym? That sounds real pathetic to be honest family
Or am I missing the point?

If used properly, like once per week or less, it allows you to do more sets. I use it sparingly, and only when I do morning gym sessions. Usually I exercise for ~90mins, but when using preworkout, I can go for 2.5hrs.
over 60min workout gonna be a cardio
You're losing your gain
its just coffee
i thought it was just coffee but when i stopped taking pre and tried coffee i dont get the same effect
coffee isnt watermelon flavoured
i said effect not the taste
yeah i think its the other shit in the preworkout. is there a way to get that same effect with coffee + something else? preworkout is kinda expensive
Preworkout often has shit like "Beta-Alanine" which makes you numb and tingly, as well as other compounds. They're obviously not the same.
The 120IQ play is to have a single cup of espresso (brewed at home, you DO have a barista set up don't you?) and 1 scoop of pre on the way to the gym for optimal benefit.
I was influenced by my favorite twitch streamer to buy gamer supplements. I just use it as my pre workout.
Gamer supplements? Is that a real thing? Kek
Pretty sure GFuel advertises itself as a supplement for gamers, It's a classic tactic, when your pseudo science no longer appeals to gym goers advertise to a different group, Bang did this too towards students
I take mine for pump not for the stims
Which one? Im in the market for a stim free pwo, I only know the gorilla one but shits expensive even if the dosage is high
I can actually work out way longer before getting exhausted with these. Also, I don't know if that is placebo but I become consistently concentrated with these.
Right now I don't take any pre-workout but i feel that this makes my workout way more dependend on daily form ans sleep
I did a week without caffeine before a workout and I could barely get through my workouts. Pre actually helped a tonne the following week
Because it's fun to occasionally take
>Do you really need to stuff your body full of caffeine to be able to go to the gym?
No, but by stuffing my body full of caffeine I can generally lift EVER SO SLIGHTLY more PERHAPS ONE OR TWO MORE TIMES, which correlates to gains.
Caffeine is pretty much the closest thing to a PED that hasn't been banned. This thread is retarded. Take some caffeine and work out and tell me you don't notice a difference.
yeah i do notice a difference
I need to shit between each set. If that's a PED i don't want to think about what steroids do
coffee makes you shit, caffeine doesnt...taking caffeine in pills wont make you shit. Do some fucking research man
caffeine/creatine is not bad for you and it improves your energy before working out, why would you not use it? Except if youre a poorfag or dyel
caffeine cancels out creatine
Only when I'm cutting (no calorie energy boost) and only twice a week.
I used to take it. I tried for a long time but it actually does nothing. It does not increase the amount of reps I can hit. It did not get me to lift any heavier weight. The only application I can see for this shit is to use it like coffee and not get any pesticides in your system
What's the best preworkout lads? Should I get C4?
C4 is pretty good. Its cheap as fuck. I use it but not all the time. Its good to have around the house or something for that extra need or any other prework but c4 is like the cheapest one.
yeah I'm on ritalin every day, coffee in the morning energy drink in the afternoon, constant stims really
Tried month long stretches of less or nothing but my brain is probably irreversibly fucked from being put on ritalin and antidepressants as a child (single mother of course)
Most homosexuals who post shit like this usually come from stable homes and normal upbringings, you wouldn't understand because you had it easy in life (or you don't go hard in the gym)
For me, it just made me feel tired during my workouts, plus, it offered no noticeable benefit, so I just stopped taking it.
