Banana and a caffeine pill for me.
I'm ok with a banana... but anyone who chooses to take a caffeine pill vs drinking actual coffee should probably not be trusted!
I eat super light early in the day, and the vast majority of my exercise is done after at least 12-16 hours of minimal food. And as long as I've got a couple hundred calories in me after I wake up, I don't think I suffer from lack of nutrition unless I'm going to hit it hard and burn 1000+ calories doing cardio or something.0 -
Coffee. I can't stand pre-workout supplements/drinks - they make me feel jittery and my workouts go just fine without them anyway. Waste of money IMO.0

I love my coffee, just can't do it before a workout because of reflux.0 -
Coffee, water, a small sandwich.0

Coffee doesn't work for me as I take the subway home one hour on my way to the gym, as I'm simultaneously falling asleep after working with children all day and being pushed around by rush hour commuters...sooooo...I like MuscleTech. C4 is fine if it is your first pre workout.0
-
I use C4 as well. Fruit Punch is good. That's usually my go to one.0
-
I do C4 and creatine although coffee would work the cost is about the same day to day and I like a cold drink when working out.
For cardio my HR is consistently 15-20 beats faster on C4 (145-150) than not on C4 so I don't use it for cardio any longer now that my weight is where I want it..0 -
I hate beta alanine, which is in most pre-workouts. I am very sensitive to it and end up itchy over every inch of my body. I use MAN Sports Game Day. Great pump and good energy.0

I drink black coffee haha0

Love preworkouts. Love the caffeine kick. Love the beta alanine itch. No matter how tired I am, I always get revved up mentally to go lift after a preworkout. Currently using Pulse by Legion for the last 6 months, and pretty happy with it. If you don't like beta alanine though, this won't be the one for you.0

Caffeine has no impact on me, so I don't really do anything for a pre workout.0

Thanks for this post. I have a high tolerance to stimulants and had been considering a pre workout since my exercise routine could use a kick in the pants. I think maybe I just need to kick it in without trying supplements.0 -
Beet juice powder mixed with Vega energizer and pycnogenol. If I'm doing core workouts, I add 2 pills of amplified creatine 189. My stamina for my age is very good. Have to stay consistent on your workouts though, that is the key.0
