    Question about Pre Work Out

    I am getting ready to start a cycle in a few weeks. Right now I am taking a no supplement with caffeine in it which gets me going. I work out pretty early. Any suggestions on what to take prior to working out, Maybe a sugar free energy drink,, maybe a cup of coffee when I wake up??? some caffeine tabs? any suggestions..... or continue the no product?

    Well if all you are looking for is a stimulant I see no harm in taking caffeine. However I am a little curious as to your diet, especially since you will commence a cycle. Whether you are bulking or cutting the breakfast you have shall not suffice. Basically you have no carbs/energy for your workout and the protein wont replace glucose since your body is craving for protein in the morning.

    I always drink coffe before a workout. I have a sugar free redbull with it sometimes.
    Prada is correct. You need to have some good carbs before you workout. How can you work your muscles properly if they arent fueled.

    Holy shit are you guys for real.

    Bro you need to eat a full meal 60 min before workout. Then 30 min before its best to drink a pre workout shake.

    This is not the right for you want to ask this in. You should look in the diet and supp forms

    One thing I would do if I were you is have Complex carbs 2-3 hours before your workout so you will have fuel during your workout. You can take as much caffeine as you want but without food you will fatigue fast.
