Pre-Workout - Which one do you use?

[JimGainz]

Creatine, 100-200 mg of caffeine, 150-200 mg of L-theanine, and 3,000-6,000 mg of L-citrulline.

Big fan of Transparent Labs here. I use their Stim Free pre workout since I don’t need the caffeine. I also use their Creatine with HMB

Ryan Humiston on YT did a review on multiple whey proteins and other products and found that Transparent Labs were consistent in quality.

Pre-workouts like BCAA's and all that other crap is a waste of money.

You can either drink black coffee straight down yo throat, take a Celsius down that throat, or take NAD+ in the morning for that energy boost. I did MOTs-c and it did nothing for me, but that's probably because my mitochondria is damaged/messed up (gotta take SS-31 first to fix all that first).

 

[Florus2026]

I try to work out on days where I take Mots-C though the effect is marginal. I liked SS-31 initially as well.

Supplement wise I take Creatine (large dose daily as I am looking for the cognitive benefits), coffee or caffeine as well as CoQ10 and Rhodiola Rosea.

All in all I played a bit with supplements for a while. Is different for my wife, will be different for everyone, but coffe is always good somehow.

 

[PAPoots]

Read about Mots-C carefully. It is NOT a stimulant.

It will not feel like a pre-workout.

I sort disagree. MOTS-c and NAD+. It will hit for about 5 minutes, but you won't notice the benefit until you are at a weight you typically hit your 8 - 10th rep and manage to squeeze out 15. I would say after being on those 2 for about 4 weeks, that I could add a 2.5 and get the reps I was expecting with the original weight. I'd expect a runner would say they took a few second off their time or added some more distance than usual.

Doh! For preworkout. I look for sales. Ultimately you want something that won't clump or leave a teaspoon of filler at the bottom that you choke on if you don't catch it.

I love Hyde. It mixes well, and is cheap. Previous gotos were Gorilla or C4.

Don't know that guy but I don't disagree with the overall take. Pre workout is probably one of the more overhyped categories in the supplement world. I get something out of the Citrulline Malate for pumps and blood flow and maybe a little from the Beta Alanine but strictly necessary? No way. Mostly just habit at this point. If it's pure energy you're after there are definitely cheaper and more straightforward ways to get there.

 

[PAPoots]

You can even buy caffeine in bulk on Amazon. Measure carefully. A little bit over or using a tablespoon when you should have used a teaspoon can make a seriously negative and different responce.

Oh? Pray, do tell.

Coffee, that's the easiest method and far cheaper than most pre workouts

Sadly it does nothing for me.. at least in sane amounts. I love green coffee but it's hard to get

 

[BlatantlyObviousXL]

Double Espresso and Honey.

I am interested in trying Mots-C though.

Wait for real?? Because me too!!! No one ever believes me that it's the best!!

ah yes, Tren, my dear old friend. Those were the days.. Those hair-less, acne-ridden, brain-dead, rage-filled, spittle-laden days of yore...sigh! Hard-on for days, beholden to no one, I finally felt what it was to be a real man...or at least it seemed so at the time. Things get so blurry.

But hey hold on...did you just call my pal Tren a preworkout? RippedWhite, how could you? That's like calling Clint Eastwood some actor, like calling the Tsar Bomba some explosive, like calling Retatrutide some diet pill. English, do you speak it?

 

[Hawk_recon]

I love Ghost pump when I don’t want caffeine or jitters. And then the Ghost legend when I want to feel like I could hulk smash through a wall

 

[mrmors]

I take Cellucor C4 any days I'm training, which varies between 5-7days a week.

 

[PAPoots]

L-theanine should cancel the jitters from high caffeine levels. I take it on days I go to the gym before work and need to slow the mind back down before I start having to talk to people. I don't want to look like a crack head.

Are you into ghosts, by any chance?

Anavar and a cup of coffee

Yay! Now that's some Manly shit. Keep rollin', brother.
