Pre W/O energy boost?

RaSP · 02-15-2007, 04:17 PM

Any recommendations for a little pre w/o energy boost that **isn't** geared for fat loss? I used Caffeine and Venom when cutting, ( I miss my ECA stack) but don't exactly want to use Hoodia when I'm trying to eat a lot.

SuperPump250 by Gaspari is da bomb!

Great mental focus enhancer. Although a very common side affect is a minor upset stomach.

I know it sounds wierd but ive had so many problems with preworkout stuff that i went natural and guess what, this works great. about 1 hour before the w/o i boil some water put in one green tea bag and one yerba matte bag let it sit about 10-12 min add some natural honey(from the health food store not the supermarket crap) I put like 4 spoons in, sip it til its gone take a couple of high potency B vitamins and I take my green bulge and I have all the energy i need but not so much that im jacked up or puking between sets like i was with NO explode and many others that ive tried.

I just use Poseidon and Chaos and mix it together and drink pre/during/post workout. Great energy.

I drink a very strong cup of coffee and eat a low glycemic carb meal before I workout. This can be oatmeal with some berries, potato with sour cream or pasta with meat sauce. (Yeah, I know potatoes and pasta can be high glycemic, but what you eat with these can turn them into low to moderate glycemic.) While I workout, I suck on a squeeze bottle of protein/creatine/ gatoraid). I have plenty of energy. Food is anabolic.

Bump to thys thread... I don't care if the pill that provides energy is a fat eliminator ... I'd be happy with an energy pill that doesn't work as an appetite suppressant.... Should I just buy some caffeine pills and take 'em pre-workout??

Peace..~G

Don't like coffee? I drink a strong cup of coffee pre workout. Another alternative would be green or black tea if you don't like the flavor of coffee. Having llow or moderate glycemic carbs prior to my workout also helps my energy levels.

Another vote for SP250

**Ikaika** · 03-30-2007, 03:43 PM

All that matters is that you get ~200mg caffeine...thats where the energy boost is going to come from, and there has been a lot of research done showing that caffeine pre-workout is very beneficial.

Superpump is good but really expensive. If I have it, I take it but its too expensive for me to buy regularly.
