    What pre-workout supplements do you take?

    Just trying to change up what I currently take for my next cycle

    I currently use a LEAN EFX & Lean Xtreme combo but im starting to notice it not being effective energy wise as it used to. I have been taking the proper breaks between cycles but still nothing...

    Your body will adapt to any stimulants quickly. There is some individuality in this as some people are more sensitive to stimulants than others, however.. there is little point in looking for another as you will adapt to that fairly quickly and its only going to "work" for you if it has more stimulants.

    You have to cycle off that kind of crap. Typically it takes your body about 2 weeks to regain its sensitivity to stimulants (but also about 2 weeks to start losing sensitivity to stimulants)

    What you should be doing is eating correctly, which kills cravings and not taking any stimulants at all. If you are eating well, sleeping well and drinking enough water, energy is not going to be a problem.

        Biotest Surge workout fuel - http://www.t-nation.com/store/supple...rkout-fuel.jsp

        The only pre/during-workout supplement you'll ever need, works awesome with hard core mountain biking.

        Otherwise... Vitargo +electrolytes, Biotest Hotrox, Biotest Alpha Male, Biotest Spike, Beta Alanine, L-arginine, Natrol FeelANew just to name a few

                  Get off that shit, it has 1,3-dimethylamylamine which is garbage.

                  This is good advice.

                  Try to stay away from the preworkout supplements out there. 1,3-dimethylamylamine is in almost all of them, a supplement you should stay away from.

                  http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/su...shit-list.html

                  I've used it in the past, (jack3d and a few others) and it is fairly effective but I don't feel it's particularly healthy. When I took it and I almost can feel a buzz and energy similar to that of ephedrine.

                  Anyways, I've continued to see results without all that garbage. Ramp up your cardio on your off days and tweak your diet, (eat complex carbs at the right times). Cardio will do wonders for your natural energy levels and endurance. It also exercises the most important muscle of all, your heart!

                  That's not to say that all preworkout supplements are bad though. Here is one I use, if I'm feeling tired I'll add 1 cup of black coffee no sugar.

                  No arginine. No Caffeine. No Taurine. It's kind of expensive, but the profile is excellent.

                        Jack3d. Awesome stuff.

                        Usually just a good pre-workout shake though.

                          i've always taken a 15 day break after a cycle of a preworkout.

                          my end goal is to be able to eat properly and get all the natural energy i need from diet and exercise. Currently i feel i eat rather healthy and I work out 4 hours a day (2 morning 2 night ) and i dont have any energy still but im still very over weight so hopefully once im in better shape i can get the natural energy soon ;/

                            1,3-dimethylamylamine = geranium.


                            i find biotest products to be garbage as well. most of the time they don't even list ingredients and when they do, they are sub-standard.

                            but i think the pre-workout supps are way way way overrated, not to mention the roi is simply not there when you look at the cost v. results.

                            not to mention all of the proprietary mixes. fuck, they skirt the rules bigtime and come up with the most unreadable labels on anything that is ingested.

                            here are a couple ( not saying this product is garbage, but even so, wtf is all this nonsens? lolz!
                            Tri-pHasic
                            How about another industry first....again. The TripHasic Blend's method of execution is genius. N-alpha-acetyl-carnosine (AACA) has never been used in a nutrition product for oral delivery. It was way too expensive and too hard to attain, and besides that, no formulators had even heard of it. Well, ULTIMA? is about using the best ingredients and being groundbreaking...so we did it anyway.

                            How about a Nootropic blend called Cogni-Five that will push your Mind-muscle connection to the limit?* Faster firing.* Quicker thinking.* Strength to burn.* Lightning reaction time.* Stronger.* Faster.* Better.*

                            And no one else can come close to replicating Cogni-Five; the dose of methylcobalamin alone would be more expensive than the cost of this entire product if attempted by other companies. We did not set out to raise the bar with ULTIMA?, we came to destroy it.

                            With ingredients like L-Tyrosine, N-Acetyl Tyrosine, Alpha-GPC, CDP-Choline, and PEA...hold on, and forget stimulants...you'll be outlifting and outrunning all the over-stimmed and underperforming competitors.* Oh and it used to be five in the beta, but we decided to kick the brain in to overdrive and rock your workout like never before.*

                            Methyl-8-R Complex
                            The never seen before Methyl-8-R Complex pulls it all together. All of it. Remember how this is about biochemistry; about your biochemistry? ULTIMA? is not just some hodge-podge of kitchen-sink ingredients. It is about specific pathways, specific substrates and specific enzymes that act on those substrates. Like everything else in ULTIMA? the Methyl-8-R complex utilizes only ingredients in their most active forms and in their optimal doses.*

                            These eight ingredients are the fuse to the "powder keg" known as ULTIMA?. It is why ULTIMA? will get you amped up for a workout with zero caffeine and zero stimulants.* It is really that advanced. Coenzymated forms of awesome B-vitamins that turn this crank, such as Riboflavin-5-Phosphate, methylcobalamin, Formyl-THF, and Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate.

                            Most companies would have stopped there, but we kept on going.

                            Those coenzymes need co-nutrients to push a dedicated metabolic pathway, so we kept going so you will keep going in the gym and on the field.* For instance, utilizing an efficacious form of zinc for bioavailability and synergy, an amino acid chelate of manganese, selenium bound to methionine, formyl-Tetrahydrofolate...not "folic acid". All of these in their most effective forms and the most effective doses.* Period.

                            EnduraMAX Performance Blend
                            Yes, there are a small of performance-enhancing carbohydrates that lend synergy to the other nutrients here.* As you can guess by now, we wouldn't have just some cheap sugar in our formulas like the competitors do. Why slack on the formula now? Chirally Pure D-glucose, chirally pure D-glucopyranoside (trehalose), and pure fructooligosaccharide (FOS) prebiotic carbohydrate provide the carbohydrates in ULTIMA?. Five grams per serving may not sound like much and for low-carbohydrate athletes it isn't, but what makes this blend special are the forms and doses. This carbohydrate blend is highly effective at promoting the health and performance of the athlete.* No hitting the wall and stopping here - just run right through it.*


                            a piece of fruit or 2 and, if needed, a cup of coffee does the trick. healthier, cheaper, and better.

                                  hey, you got it. i'd look to nethorse, pr_glen and a few others here as well for good solid advice based on experience.

                                  can you fill us in on what's going on? where are you at with your health & fitness, weight loss and goals? age?

                                  you say you want to get to a place where diet and exercise provide your natural energy...how far along toward that would you say you are?

                                    Im 27 and ive been working out for 4 months now. 5 days a week 2 hours a day.

                                    I started at 350lb's and im down to 295 now. Im looking to lose another 95lbs and then want to start putting on muscle.

                                      2 hours of exercise a day is impressive. so you've lost ~14 lbs/month for 4 months, that's ~3.5 lbs a week, damn, that's damn impressive.

                                      have you started noticing an increase in your natural energy?

                                      how are you fueling the 2 hours, with a pre-w/o sup exclusively??

                                        I am more tired than ever now - that is why i started looking at different supplements ;/

                                        I eat a banana and either a handful of grapes or almonds. After i work out I do a protien shake.

                                        I lost most of my weight right off the bat within the first 2 months with just diet change.

                                          sounds like a classic plateau. i'd bet that you need to reconfigure things to kick start the fatloss process goign again eh.


                                          well, i certainly would not think you need to change your time of activity so the other variables are

                                          type of activity
                                          intensity of activity

                                          or


                                          diet.


                                          have you done an atkins-type no/lo carb cycle recently?

                                              Breakfast was the fruit and then i had the shake afterwards

                                              for lunch ill have some sort of turkey sandwich on either a wheat wrap or whole wheat bread

                                              and dinner tonight is a baked sweet potato grilled chicken ( getting very tired of chicken ;/ ) and steamed vegggies

                                              i feel thats a pretty decent diet

                                                Here is what I used in the past:

                                                Jack3d - body gets to use to it quickly and energy is not the same after a while

                                                Superpump - Too much anxiety and jittery effects after the work out

                                                NO-Xplode - Not too bad but gets pricey with daily use, still use it time to time.

                                                Hemo Rage Ultra Concentrate - Currently using it and love it! Great energy and really pushes you through the entire workout without feeling jittery.

                                                  yup, i do think you should do a ultra lo carb cycle. and that is a pretty decent diet, i would suggest cutting all breads, pastas, potatoes after the no carb cycle though.

                                                  a pre-w/o would help bigtime on the no carb too, as much as i try to stay away from them, in abnormal situations (weight loss is abnormal imo) they do help, i've used oxylabs pro elite, it's cheapest on amazon, and did feel it working.

                                                    what would you take in for a no carb diet? I cant stand seafood so that cuts out a large chunk of food it seems ;/

                                                      my end goal is to be able to eat properly and get all the natural energy i need from diet and exercise. Currently i feel i eat rather healthy and I work out 4 hours a day (2 morning 2 night ) and i dont have any energy still but im still very over weight so hopefully once im in better shape i can get the natural energy soon ;/
                                                      My view on pre workout stuff (assuming you are just looking for energy) is that i used to rely on it a lot for energy through the work out is that its not a good idea. You have to deal with the crash. would try to do cardio and crash 1/2 way through and so on.. and it leaves your energy levels going up and down (ultimately way down) no matter how you are sleeping, eating and training. Thats stuff should ultimately be controlled by proper diet, sleep, training/rest/recovery and making sure you're getting enough fluids.

                                                      otherwise, have someone help you with a steroid cycle.

                                                          Like my meal for today

                                                          Breakfast was the fruit and then i had the shake afterwards

                                                          for lunch ill have some sort of turkey sandwich on either a wheat wrap or whole wheat bread

                                                          and dinner tonight is a baked sweet potato grilled chicken ( getting very tired of chicken ;/ ) and steamed vegggies

                                                          i feel thats a pretty decent diet

                                                          you have no energy...seems to me your not eating enough for your size. your body cannot rebuild energy & muscle off this food supply. eat more complex carbs/fiber is my advice. Complex carbs give you a great base of energy, so your proteins can be used for building muscle instead of being used as fuel as is likely in your case.

                                                          I know low carb is popular & yes the body burns fat faster without carbs. But you feel like shit. The brain burns only carbs. so taking out carbs is best left to bodybuilders prepping for an event. not people looking to be healthy as a lifestyle.

                                                          & likely your body adjusted to your exercise routine. New activities like swimming, hiking over hills, go to a circuit regimen on the weights. these will keep the body changing & adapting to new forms of exercise.

                                                            chicken, lean pork, lean red meats, eggs. protein shakes, i'd stick with casein and egg protein, don't worry about whey protein.

                                                              last thing - i think you should be most concerned about building your strength & energy at this stage instead of worrying about the scale. As your body gets stronger, it burns more calories, & then when your fit inside, the fat gradually burns off as you maintain a healthy diet with calories limited to your bodies needs. think long term. losing weight so fast can fuck up your psychology as a slower weight loss is inevitable at later stages.

                                                                You need to eat more meals. Three meals isn't enough. You will hit a wall soon and you obviously lack energy already.

                                                                Drop the fruit aswell. Vegetables are more important than fruit, plus fruit contains tons of sugar. Lots of people don't tolerate fruit well in the morning as it spikes your insulin levels. Once they go down you feel tired at around 10-11 AM. You then need coffee, etc. etc.

                                                                *EDIT* Don't forget to add good fats to your diet. You should eat at least 40g of good fats a day. Add flaxseed and sunflower oil to your breakfast (1 tablespoon each), make sure they are organic and in dark bottles, not the transparent glassy ones. This will supply your body with a good ratio of Omega 3 and 6 + good fats and quality calories to use as energy.

                                                                Listen to 'joshgirls' regarding the carbs. Don't cut them out unless you're cutting bodyfat down to below average levels. You'll feel like shit.

                                                                Good luck!

                                                                  but i think the pre-workout supps are way way way overrated, not to mention the roi is simply not there when you look at the cost v. results.

                                                                  not to mention all of the proprietary mixes. fuck, they skirt the rules bigtime and come up with the most unreadable labels on anything that is ingested.

                                                                  here are a couple ( not saying this product is garbage, but even so, wtf is all this nonsens? lolz!

I keep getting cards in the mail so I decided to try the guess pass, it's an amazing gym but almost $100 a month. I can't justify paying that much.

                                                                                  I used to take Superpump though, which is very similar to no xplode but I saw far better results with Superpump, it increased my strength dramatically.

I've taken supplements in the past, and while they did seem to work, http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp...542&cp=3593186, it also made me slightly moody.

                                                                                              I started at 350lb's and im down to 295 now. Im looking to lose another 95lbs and then want to start putting on muscle.
                                                                                              That's damn impressive man.. keep it up, obviously what you are doing is working.

                                                                                              no secrets to pre workout supplementation really. I've read that taking in a small whey before and a regular one after is for optimal gains, but that gets expensive and is probably unnecessary. As dyna mo said a little fruit or a little tea should give you the energy you need for a good workout, anything more than that you'll end up bloated and will slow you down anyway.

                                                                                              oh as for nos and gu? nos is overrated and essentially does nothing but heighten your blood pressure and gu? It's meant for endurance athletes, i've used them during marathons and triathlons, but it would be a waste to use them for just a workout, unless its a long run/ride or whatever. The PowerBar gels are far better for that too by the way...
