Pre-Workout Supps

shella_bella

I want to get a pre-workout since I lack energy and therefore my workouts are pathetic but I have no idea what to look at...

I just need to be able to have it shipped to australia for cheap or free. So preferably an australian supplement site.

Suggestions?

Terasome

Have you tried Mr Supplements, they are at Seven Hills and deliver pretty quickly.

They have a website and a FB page. I cant help with what to get though.

I've ordered from the supplement den and really liked them, wouldn't mind ordering from them again but yeah my biggest issue is that I literally have no idea where to start

I usually just munch on an apple a cup of coffee and maybe an egg or something.

Seems to work for me.

Chadomaniac

NO explode and Jack3d ?

I usually eat dinner right before I workout, doesn't help me whatsoever

Yep, can order either!

Which is better and why?

And if anyone can take the time to explain to me what to actually look for in a pre-workout that would be cool...more I know, the better

I personally prefer a pre workout with L-arginine, Beta alanine and DMMA . some countries Ban DMMA , but thats what makes a pre-workout for me . is it legal is aus?

Random google search says no it's not.

1,3 DMAA products are banned in Australia. Luckily I stockpiled a few tubs.

I've heard the new formulas are alright though. I personally liked Beta-Cret the best. Also used Mesomorph, Neurocore, Hemorage and Craze. I know Beta-Cret, Mesomorph, Jack3D and Craze have been re-released in Australia but without DMAA.

A suggestion if you do end up taking pre-workouts... don't eat right before you take it, it's less effective if you do.
Of all the pre-workouts I've tried so far I like C4 Icy Blue Razz the most.

I used to use Jack3d and it made a noticeable difference mentally and physically but I've read reviews saying it's not as good now. Used NO-xplode for a while and it was ok, slightly better than nothing.
Most pre-workout formulas are a rip-off I think. The best and cheapest I have found is simply a couple of teaspoons of instant coffee on an empty stomach, works great.

there is always some BCAA's...

also, if you eat dinner right before working out that may be why you are lacking energy...I don't think I could eat a large meal and then go work out....

Have you ever tried training fasted and then eating dinner..?

Muscle Pharm Assualt - Good Has Creatine HCl in it
No Xplode - Beta - Alanine not bad makes me jittery in a good way, alot of caffine
C4 - Also good has creatine in it
Super Pump - Also makes me gittery in a good way

So all of those are pretty good in my opinion

I have read that creatine takes about 6 hours to be properly available after ingestion so pre-workout creatine isn't really necessary. Sorry to be a smart *kitten*!

Cool.

Next time maybe mention that you eat dinner in your original post if you're going to get all snippy.

Actually, try this: Caffeine 115 mg, Tri Carb, BCAAs, and Omega 3,6,9 supplement.

I forgot how all you "elite athletes" are so against real food.

Black coffe, omega fish oils and bcaa's work. I personally stick with a cup of coffee.

^ This!

And it's cheap

i would definatley suggest using either AllMax Razor8 Blast Powder or Driven Sports Craze both awesome pre work out and the focus it gives in great.

Pre-workout supplements are one of those things you need to try to see which one works for you (as well as tolerating the taste).

I'm personally very fond of No Xplode 2 in watermelon flavor. (people look at me crazy when I say it tastes good!)

I love C4. Works great for me. It is from cellucor.

Yikes...I wasn't being "snippy"

I'm actually anemic so am pretty well fatigued all day which is why I need an extra boost.

Have tried fasted workouts, but usually can't even makr them halfway through.

Thanks for all the other suggestions guys!

Hi What kind of dinners are you having,

I find having some pasta 1 -2 hours before a work out,
and a smoothy with fresh banana,orange, almond milk with honey just before.
My opinion is try to get ur boost out off food.
