    Pre workout drinks (kreation)

    Is there anyway to make these taste better? Grape taste like battery acid mixed with a Flintstones vitamin with a tint of butt. YUCK!

    I have never used these until yesterday. I have to change my workouts from early to late and I want to maximize my workouts and be focused you know. So far.. I didnt even notice anything yesterday. I hope I didnt waste a small grip of coin on this stuff.

    I stopped using a preworkout and started drinking a sugar free energy drink and taking some arginine. Sometimes it's just water.


    Since you already bought it tho you might aswell use it. Try mixing it with grape powerade or Gatorade. Some taste horrible no matter what tho. They always made my body all tingly.

    jack3d is easy to drink, the worst ive eva had was the old skool maximuscle 'firewater', jez that was bad, when mixed with water it resembled watery excrement

    I believe today there is a new version of Jack3d available. I almost waited to buy it but was sluggish yesterday. If anyone gets this post reviews.

    I had mentioned Kreation on another forum, it is by far the best pre workout drink. I started enjoying the way it taste when I mixed it with gatorade or crystal lite.

    I will definitely give this a try then! It sounds a lot better than the soldier up approach.

    It's not too hard. When you pour the water in and swish it around it all goes down easily. Especially jacked. The scoop is tiny.

    Very possible. I used to work at and still work at one of the LFF locations. Most of these guys all worked at lifetime. I have only been here for a few years.

    Nope, I have not heard of it either. I have only been here for a couple years and I am big into the car scene and this (gym) is my other hobby.

    Oh, it's a private gym, invite only. My buddy owns it. The most hardcore place I have ever seen. There are fliers for it at Bob's though.

    No this one is inside an old machine shop, on a lot with gravel parking lot and fenced off to the public. Only a single solid oak door leading into the front, and a huge garage door that open in the back. I think it's somewhere around 56th street. Can't remember the exact intersection, I want to say right around 56th (actually a small road that I think is 52nd) and Post rd.

    Gotcha, I looked and couldn't even find anything about it online. Why am I not surprised Bob has info on this? I love talking to that guy, he is a damn genius and loves to talk.

    The "soldier method" is what I was going to suggest. It might make it a little easier if you just make it really concentrated. i.e. if it says 6-8 ounces use 1-2 so its just like one gulp which you can quickly follow with a slug of something delicious

    One hour before my workout (usually on my way home from work) I mix preblended 1 cup of oats, one serving of whey with 2tbspn of honey and drink that. Then about 10 min before, in 4 oz of water (for faster absorbtion), I mix 1000mg of vit c (emergen C) and 4 caps of arginine and drink all at once. So far it is the best method Ive used with none of those harsh/sick sides of the other BS you buy from the stores. Tons of longlasting explosive energy that lasts the entire workout with no "crash". Love it!

    Yung- 1 cup of oats, with whey and 2 tbsp of honey, how do you drink it? Or do you mix with water cuz that seems a little dry. Then the vit c you mix this in water with arganine? that sounds terrible vit c alone with water when you get a taste is horrible. Let me no, the worse that can happen is I dont drink it right.

    Not sure how much powder your trying to eat. A normal 5 gram serving is a teaspoon of raw creatine powder. If you got pre-mixed/flavored you got ripped off. You shouldn't have to take more than a tsp at a time.

    The concoction is mixed with 12oz of room temp water, cold water does not mix well and hot water taste nasty.

    I buy emergen C which tastes awesome (at gnc) and i empty out the agrinine caps into the water and stir it aggresively and drink immediately because both the vit c and arginine are not soluble.

    This is Kreation by sci fit and comes in a jug with a scoop damn near the size of protein powders. ITS HUGE! Purchased from my normal shop. None the less Im not impressed with the pump at all . I will use it and try the backwoods young version honey oat and baby blood concoction and see what happens. lol

    Backwoods huh?

    How about FUNDAMENTALS?

    Everyone's so caught up with post this and pre that...They forget that the body has its own highly effective way of doing things.
