Health risks + chemicals for a slight boost in energy

Like using a gun to kill a cockroach

I heard taking pre-workout that contains creatine is a bad thing and you want to avoid those kinds.

>>40198588
why's that? i already take 3-5g of creatine a day anyway. plus it only has 1g

beta alanine and creatine are both naturally produced/consumed

beta alanine is produced and creatine you get from meats

apparently, it can make you fat unless you're trying to bulk up

Honestly op, a cup of coffee or a caffeine pull and a banana is all you need. Maybe a glass of milk if you can stomach it before a workout

>>40198624
okay no thats not true. it CAN make you bloated however but thats totally different

>>40198626
not true, just caffeine does nothing to me. it just provides an extremely short lived burst of energy while i feel preworkout is more consistent.

actual preworkout works way better imo

>>40198646
>a stimulant gives you more energy than caffeine

Thank you captain obvious

Wow how did all the newfags end up in this one thread

>>40198638
damn alright I didn't know that lol

It's a waste of money, it's basically just caffeine. Guarentee that you don't need it if you're under 30 or 40.
Don't waste your money

Just mix a cold coffee drink with a scoop of creatine

>I have no idea what I'm talking about.
creatine may make you retain water, it doesn't do anything for fat storage. Also creatine isn't a preworkout, it just saturates the muscles with extra ATP and takes days to do so.

Ephedrine+caffeine is literally the best preworkout there is.

Take C4, its like the cheapest one. If it works for you, great. Worst case you get nut cancer or something

>>40198549
If you are gonna go for pre-workout use Mr Hyde, better than c4 imo

I have stopped religiously taking pre workouts and I have been progressing just fine. If you are really dead set on a pre-workout... blend your own. Get a bit of caffeine, some protein powder, some royal honey for sugar and workout out. I think you will improve more by
A: working out more (frequency)
B: learning/research all the exercises you do in a given workout to improve your form and mentally go through the key notes before each set and
C: Get in the zone. Stretch your body before hand, get your heart going with some quick cardio, and do a warmup set using maybe 60% of the usual weight man.

You can improve a lot. Your gym over there looks really fun! Find what you enjoy about working out. I like lifting heavy, then heavier shit. Motivation is way better than a pre-workout.
