Pre-workout: Shake or Pills? What's your preference?

[austinite]

I'm curious to know what your preference would be. If you had an opportunity to take the perfect pre-workout supplement. Would you rather take 7 pills? Or would you rather take 1 flavored scoop that you can mix into a shake?

Man am I dizzy or what? This was intended for the supplement section. GB, rescue!

Are we assuming that the overall effect is the same? I'd prefer a quick drink if it gave the sane results as the pill.

Yes, identical effects. But a powder you have to mix, not a ready-to-drink beverage.

I might lean towards the pills but not sure. What I don't like is the bloated feeling I get sometimes from drinking several ounces just before going to lift. Good thing is that it usually passes in half an hour or so. Also looking for a good pre workout powder that will actually DISSOLVE in water before I drink it. lol. Maybe the stuff I have is just old tech...

In that case, I would prefer the pill version. No preparation required. You could keep them in your car or gym bag and just pop them when needed.

I eat so few things that truly taste good that the protein drinks I take don't taste too bad. I kind of like'm now that I think of it. I mean if you ate crackers for a long time and the crackers were substituted with a pill that contains the same nutrition you might miss the taste of crackers.

Good point, quester!

Pills.. But if cutting then maybe shake for reason mentioned.. Any extra "food" is good when cutting imo

Pills all the way for me.

Personally..... I LOVE " nano vapor" by muscletech. 8g l-citruline malate, 3.2g beta-alanine, 2.5g betaine, 200mg quercetin, 5g creatine, and no sugar. No long extended stimulants which is good for me cause I work out at night. And it actually tastes good. Kicks in in about 25 min or less. Just my .02

Those doses really should be re-evaluated. Sometimes more isnt really better. This will produce a great pump but could be counter productive in other internal areas.

edit: I just looked, I dont see those doses in that compound. Unless you're taking 3 to 4 scoops.

I take 2 scoops per 8oz h2o. Started it this week due to prepping to cut. The doses may be stretched as everything now a day is. But it works great for me. But then this is a woman's pov ;-)

Does it make me weird if I like the protein shakes? My wife and son don't care much for them but I look forward to them.
