Agreed. I cannot have anything at least an hour before I take a pre workout, or even think about training if I just ate something big. That empty stomach feeling for days

1MOREMOD · 12-06-2015, 01:57 PM

I can eat just not right before heavy legs or deads

skua · 12-09-2015, 09:08 PM

I tried that once. I got really ill and I felt like throwing up, I have to have a empty stomach but not to the point I'm hungry for food

Amirsm3 · 12-09-2015, 09:14 PM

Yeah, I don't eat for an hour or so before the gym. I use Gnar Pump because Dom told me to. Komodo Dragon tastes soooo good

SugarSkulls · 12-13-2015, 06:55 PM

Stacking Mr Hyde with hvol right now.

Big pump!

1MOREMOD · 12-13-2015, 07:27 PM

Still haven't looked for that need to. Super pump tonight and some light back

SoFlo_BD · 12-16-2015, 08:40 AM

Taking GAT PMP stim free right now and just add a scoop of creatine in it and I am liking it.

HyeWarrior · 12-16-2015, 10:18 AM

I'm a big fan of Jym Pre and Post Workout. I really liked Legion's Pulse too. Wasn't a huge fan of Jack3d or MP Assault

Fabspeed Motorsport · 12-30-2015, 08:26 AM

Good old N.O.-EXPLODE, but if it's later at night and I need a kick without caffeine...hot miso soup spiked with sriracha.

lsturbointeg · 01-06-2016, 12:32 AM

Hyde!

gthal · 01-06-2016, 06:03 AM

Legion Pulse... basically anything from Legion is great IMO. No fillers or artificial color, sweeteners, etc.

Tnt123 · 01-07-2016, 08:13 PM

NITRAFLEX.

Wayy better than C4. You will go hard.

Mr.SugarSkulls · 01-11-2016, 09:29 PM

Recently got on Mesomorph which has DMAA.

Honestly, strength gains are incrementally going up 10 days into it. Loving it so far!

Yeah so is caffeine, green tea extract,any of these preworkouts in excess.

Key is to keep yourself hydrated at all times. Anything less than a gallon a day is unacceptable

Plus check the date. It was banned/then unbanned since.

I see plenty of articles dated late 2015 that still recommend to avoid it.

I'm just bringing up to your attention in case you haven't seen the news.

Your body - your temple.

I'm def no saint and have tried dangerous things myself.

Appreciate that bro-

Back in the day they'd go too crazy with the dosage, so maybe the fact that they cut back on it helps.

I'm of the days where ephedra was just a boost so everyone's body is different.

It's too bad they banned that though

Had brutal quad workout this am now need to recoup and hit hams tonight still

Agreed with this. I actually like to workout on an empty stomach myself.

I cant do it on heavy days though.

On normal back days- I won't push more than 315 DL and be able to do it on an empty stomach- but on days specifically designated for deadlifts and squats (maxing out at 475 deadlifts, and squatting 385) I HAVE to eat before. I'll feel like I'll pass out otherwise.

I'd rather not feel the preworkout but be able to push through, than feel like the weight is pushing me.

Donutz · 01-16-2016, 04:31 PM

Right now I'm taking hyde with a couple of added caps of yohimbine. When I'm not cutting I'll use a mix of Jekyll and hyde, assault, or neurocore, or just straight hyde (Canadian formula without yohimbine).
