Does any drink energy drinks as a post workout supplement? I always wondered why they sold them in the gym... I used to down one with my pre workout supplements and get better pumps.

what's your experiment with them? Why kind do you drink?

    I don't use them at all. I find the energy drinks don't do anything to/for me. I did take a pre workout C4, but all I found is that it made my face feel numb. I don't know why you would want to take it after your workout, usually I feel energized once I am done. Then again, looking at your pic, you seem to know what you're doing, and I'm just a fat guy giving advice!!! :laugh:

    i'm a girl giving advice so...if you don't take it I won't be offended

    i don't drink any of that stuff but I do like to drink coffee before a work out - or an hour/2 hours before - just gives me an extra boost. (There are conflicting reports on whether you should or shouldn't do this but whatever - it works for me) I have never been a fan of processed drinks like that.

    I've heard many people swear by the chocolate milk post work out but if I do weights I like to eat a protein bar within 30 min - Quest is my new favorite brand!

    From what i've learned the caffine helps with boosting metabolism.

    For me I would drink one with my Animal Pump pre workout pills...
