Pre gym energy boost

byoml2013

Cola bottles, gummi bears, wine gums, anything with lurid colouring and made almost entirely made of sugar has always been my pre-gym workout snack of choice. Because it works. I´ll have a handful of sweets on the way home from work and I´m raring to go once I get to the gym. But I´m starting to feel like there should be something healthier that´s as easy to digest and provides the same energy boost as sweets give you. Any suggestions? P.s. Bananas don´t work for me.

I'm going to bump this one because I could really use some suggestions. I only get maybe 1-2hrs asleep a day one workdays and really need something to give me that boost for the gym.

I'd cut back on the candy as well. As needernt said, simple carbs are good post workout, however, candy as your simple carb of choice is based more on "bro-science" than anything else.

Coffee or green tea is good, or you can try a Pre-workout supplement. Supplements such as 1mr, Jack3d, craze etc. have caffeine and can help you stay focused and feel more alert during your workout. There are others as well and those are better alternatives to candy Pre-workout.

**sidenote** I LOVE gummi bears :bigsmile:

Black coffee is always good pre-workout.

raisins and other dried fruit for natural energy. i personally prefer pre-workout supplements, most give you and extra pump.

gatorade g2 perform and creatine

I just take whey protein with L Tyrosine and BCAAs. Of course, not everyone will be into supplements here, but it's an option.

A small portion of nuts, seeds, raisin mix is a great boost for before a workout.
