What the hell are 'perks' ???

[Luke]

I was talking to a guy and he says that he takes 'perks' (some pills available in the drugstore by prescription) before workouts to give him awesome energy. What are those? (He didn't know the exact name, so I couldn't look it up).

THX.

Wouldn't pain killers relax you? Ephedrine will give you a pick me up pre- workout.

It would definitly relax you and that friend is an IDIOT to take pain medication to go workout!!!Im not saying i 've taken them recreatinoal now and then but NOT PART OF MY WORKOUT SUPPLEMENTS!!

No way your buddy is taking percocet before a workout....Percocet is a combination of oxycodone and acetaminophen which is capible of putting you in a walking coma, unless you're elephant.

Percocest? I thought it was Percodan.

PERKocets will give u a slight pick me up. but not to go to the gym! i take them if i have a hangvover or head ache. two 54543 perks and a 6 pack, ...alldone no matter who you are! percodan are taken to relax muscles so you can sleep while in slight pain from injury

Percodan and Percocet are for all intensive purposes the same drug....Their only difference is Percodan contains Oxycodone and aspirin and Percocet contains Oxycodone and Acetaminophen....for those who can not take anything containing aspirin. Both drugs contain 5mg of oxycodone HCl which is a derivitive of 14-hydroxydihydrocodeinone. Both drugs will leave normal humans dazed and confused....neither should be taken before a workout.....and neither should EVER be taken with alcohol....unless you want to go to bed one night and maybe not wake up in the morning.
