energy drinks before training - yes or no

**GT2** · 02-10-2009, 06:31 PM

Pre-workout drinks are for those with weak minds!

All I'm saying is that it's not good to build up a need for a pre-workout boost, because when you don't/can't have it, your workouts will suck, because mentally you will tell yourself you are low on energy.

I always have a protein + simple carbs meal 1.5 hours before I train, and it always provides me with more than enough energy.

I've been taking 2 grams of BCAA caps before my workouts for the past month, and it's definitely helped me with endurance, concentration, and energy.

Hahahhaa....yeah...I remember that dreadful feeling of having to finish up squats or deadlifts REALLY fast.

I used to use BSN's Endorush...but it would destroy my stomach. I was off all energy supps while on cycle, and during PCT (now) I'm on NO Xplode.

nobody likes 5 hour energy, it seems like the obvious best one.. its just like a small amount of caffeine and B6 and B12 vitmans .. 8000 % more than ur daily view lol

I used to take that stuff every day when I was a trainer and had to get up at 5:00 every ****in morning. Worked pretty well.

the problem with oral b12 is that it has a 1% or so absorption rate

I'll do noexplode with a few pure can sugar cubes dissolved in it.
The sugar helps get me fired up and I'm gonna burn those fast carbs during my lifting.

**hankdiesel** · 02-16-2009, 11:00 PM

speed stack or hydroxycut before every workout. Caffenine is a major performance enhancer in my opinion.

I think it's better to just have a protein shake before I leave the house then have an energy drink. They generally upset my stomach halfway through working out. I generally try to stay away from excess sugar/sugar substitutes though.
