what do you take for the gym for Energy?

**str8cubano** · 08-19-2005, 05:44 PM

Caffeine, ephedra, red bull? non ephedra products? or do you just hit the gym without anything at all?

**wascaptain5214** · 08-19-2005, 05:54 PM

i drink three cups of black coffee before i hit the gym.......works for me

**SprinterOne** · 08-19-2005, 06:54 PM

Water works for me. I will use caffeine if I am feeling really sluggish.

**Jerzey** · 08-19-2005, 06:59 PM

ECA Stack.

**Benches505** · 08-19-2005, 07:02 PM

Food! I try and stack the carbs an hour before.

**Smak** · 08-19-2005, 07:43 PM

I always stop and pick up a Red Bull (sugar free) and pop a couple ephedrine in my mouth which is 50 mg before I lift.

**wink182** · 08-19-2005, 07:55 PM

Vicodin and coffee

**juict** · 08-19-2005, 08:00 PM

hydration and a cytogainer protein-shake 45mins before

**BlueHen** · 08-19-2005, 09:47 PM

If I need it a ABB Speed Stack drink.

**v-twin** · 08-19-2005, 09:53 PM

Coffee 1/2 hr before,then water at gym works for me

**Papi93** · 08-19-2005, 10:06 PM

Caffeine tabs work for a pre-workout boost. IMO, they beat ephedrine and clen.

**buckwheat** · 08-19-2005, 10:17 PM

clen, b-12 shot, and myoplex deluxe hour before

**hellapimpin** · 08-19-2005, 10:24 PM

i work out in the early morning now..so i drink a soda before i go to sleep

**Teegunn** · 08-19-2005, 11:03 PM

I used to take the old Ripped Fuel when it had ephedra. I still have some ephedra based stuff left, but I rarely take it. If I need an extra boost I take two or three scoops of NO-Xplode. I always drink lots of water though because I get dehydrated easily - especially if I take any stimulants.

**bigbouncinballs** · 08-19-2005, 11:10 PM

nothin... maybe i should be poppin somethin!

**bor** · 08-20-2005, 03:26 AM

ECA while cutting, straight caff while bulking

**jesse_james** · 08-20-2005, 03:33 AM

Nothing but I may consider trying ephedrine after reading this

**str8cubano** · 08-20-2005, 05:59 AM

bro I took like 2 years off ephedrine/caffeine, and when I started taking it again, its like I don't want to go to the gym without it. IT can be addicting. Don't take it if you feel you don't have to. Usually when bulking I never take it, but while dieting I do.

its more of a psychological dependence "mind over matter" i take an eca before i workout but if i dont it just take me a little longer to get started then im fine!

**harleyman** · 08-20-2005, 10:25 AM

i drink 2 cups of tea with 4 aspirin with it and your good to go.

**str8cubano** · 08-22-2005, 02:32 PM

White slice of pizza followed by a Lg. Tea light and sweet!

**fanatic** · 08-22-2005, 02:50 PM

NoXplode off cycle and 1 cup oatmeal on cycle.

**Pinnacle** · 08-22-2005, 02:53 PM

Guarana Root and plenty of water.

**JdFlex** · 08-22-2005, 02:53 PM

1 apple and 1 scoop whey protein mix in water. Guess I'm old fashioned.

**str8cubano** · 08-22-2005, 03:04 PM

has anyone ever tried Ginsiegn? (can't spell) I saw supplemnts for it in pill form, i wonder if it works like caffeine?.....

**Booz** · 08-22-2005, 04:03 PM

just carbs mate

**MatrixGuy** · 08-22-2005, 05:01 PM

I think No-Explode works well, but made me go crazy!

Gave me some insane energy bursts, but i would tend to feel light headed and a little naseous. I stick with black coffee and carbs now.

**BIG PAPPA PUMP** · 08-22-2005, 05:08 PM

usually i take abb nitric force or carbo force

**hosam4ever** · 08-22-2005, 05:18 PM

cup of coffee & aspirin 3 tabs

**heavylifter99** · 08-22-2005, 05:26 PM

i drink a glass of gatorade, and a couple hydroxycut.. seems to do the trick every time

**insanepump621** · 08-22-2005, 05:55 PM

what kind of asiprin do you guys take just regular aspirin... I got ibuprofen or however u spell it is that the same thing

**lfrisbee** · 08-22-2005, 05:58 PM

ephedra works really well. i haven't used it so much lately... but back when i was playing basketball, it turned me into an animal, had TONS of extra energy. This thread reminds me of that feeling again... maybe I'll get some more

**SpiderRico** · 08-22-2005, 06:10 PM

Gaterade and if im feeling really down some speed stack or whatever i feel like drinking at the gym.

**Jerzey** · 08-22-2005, 07:38 PM

Never heard of NoExplode

but I love ECA, I just can't use it as a fat burner.. I get use to it too fast that way...

**100m champ** · 08-22-2005, 08:57 PM
