Hey everyone,
As you can tell by the title, I am looking for a new Pre-Workout. I've been using C4 for a while now and absolutely love it, but at times, I do feel as if it isnt enough. I began trying a new pre-workout I was pointed to. I dont remember the name but I know I walked into a PowerBody Nutitrion Store and they told me that their pre-workout was the best, when it came to getting a kick. I didnt buy it, my bestfriend did. Honestly it gives you a ton of energy but for a short period of time. Im looking for something that will give me a burst of great energy, which will last my whole workout, also without making me crash or even making me feel like crap. I know you all have some great pre-workouts. Any feedback will help. Thanks alot guys & gals. I hope to hear from you soon. Till next time. Stay safe everyone. :)

@jmboiardi,Joey_Lopez- I really appreciate the feedback guys. I've been actually wanting to get off the pre-workouts becuase I want to naturally have the energy to complete my workouts with maximum results. Meaning, I want to go harder than ever each workout without pre-workout energy. I've been doing gret lately as my C4 ran out, so Im just not gonna buy any for now. But I finally got my new protein! BSN Syntha-6 Ultra premium protein mix - Peanut Butter Cookie flavor - it tastes great! :) Thanks again guys!

Yeah, John brought up some great points. I am 100% off pre-workouts. I only use them every once in a while and when I do I use BSN N.O.-Xplode 2.0 It was SO HARD to stop using them for me because like John said, I really relied on them.

 

You need to cycle them... maybe even do one week with and one week without or just save it for those days you REALLY need them.

 

On a side note, I love drinking my BSN AMINO-X. Nothing beats filling up on those BCAAs!

 

Erica and I just filmed a protein pancake mix video that calles for BSN SYNTHA-6 ISOLATE... you should try it with your peanutbutter cookie flavor! could be delicious! Video coming on Tuesday! #HTH

So I thought I would give my two cents if you are in the market for pre-workouts. I stopped using commercialized pre-workouts because they are filled with so much stuff. Instead my husband and I build our own. I buy a bottle of L-Arginine/L-Citrulline and a bottle of No flush Niacin. These are the two main components when creating a pump from pre-workout supplements and in reality, they are all you need. In addition to pre-workout benefit, these can be taken on non-workout days as well as they are great for overall cardiac health and cholesterol. I take 1500mg of Arginine (3 pills) and 500mg of niacin (1 pill) much cheaper than buying a tub of pre-workout powder as well. You don't need to cycle off of these because as I said, they are great for overall health. I buy these at GNC currently

Hey Michelle,

 

I completely agree with you about the commercialized of pre-workouts and that its best to create your own. I saw you take arginine and just thought I would share my opinion. There is a supplement called Agmatine which is a pre-cursor to Arginine and has shown more promise in studies in terms of effectivness of creating the "pump" through NO secretion. Also have you considered adding beta-alanine to your mix?

Daniel,

 

I have definately thought about getting Agmatine! USPLabs usually has a great deal on their agmatine but I might try to find it in GNC or vitamin shoppe as well. Funny you mention it as I was just looking into it. I have considered beta-alanine to the mix as well. I have been fine tuning the pre-workout mix for the last few months and that is the next to be added.

 

On a side note, we recently added 2 TBSP of Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar (link to webmd info on it) to our diets. First thing in the morning and then in the evening. It is a great detoxifying additive. One of it's largest benefits is lowering your bodys pH level. Having an alkaline system actually aids in better muscle building, recovery time and overall health!

Yeah if you get it let me know if you notice a difference. I've heard about this apple cider vinegar but haven't really thought about adding it to my nutrition. Have you noticed any differences with it? I've always loved the addition of detoxifying additives to my nutrition, they seem to perk my body up.

Going back to the pre-workout topic, have you tried taurine? Its also on my list of future supps.

Hey Scott, I really appreciate that! Im off Pre-workouts for now! And that pancake mix sounds amazing!!!! I definently need to see that because the peanut butter cookie I got is so delicious. :) Im sticking with BSN from now on.
