The effects of pre-workouts

I would like to ask how the rest of you feel when taking pre-workouts?

The reason for my asking is, so far ive used the following and well, going without would have been the same thing for me, I don't get a kick, a rush, a surge, a overwhelming amount of excitement and energy before a gym session at all, nothing, nudda

SSN NO Crea-pump
SSN NO Rage
Supplements SA Hellfire

Should I feel something? Anything before a session

Ive always taken it as follows - 1 x scoop, 600ml water, 30 mins before session ill drink 300ml and sip the rest during a session

Your thoughts please

I feel the same bud, used them & other products and zip! No increased pumps or energy. I just drink water now haha. Otherwise I take an ECA before workout & it works much better than any PW can.

You see that's the reason for my asking, I see videos on line of guys getting all like pumped and ready for a session on "pre-workout"

And yet I like you feel nothing at all? Maybe we need 2 or 3 scoops haha

Drink two scoops hellfire,with 250ml water, half hour before gym. Dont expect a cocaine rush though.

I thought I was the only one experiencing this. I have tried:

SSN NO rage
1MRD
Muscle Junkie
FCN Unchained Fury

The only one that give me "tingles" is No rage if I mixed it in 100ml of water or take it just like that. I have now given up :pinch:

HAHA im not alone, thank goodness

AlexRon,

I wasn't getting much from my pre-workouts either. But then I combined my NO-Explode (which is a bit pricey) with a few Hellfire Nitrate Tabs. Suddenly I got tingles everywhere bru. Maybe try it.

Nate

Ill be honest here, once or twice I did get a mad rush from USN Creatine HCL, I rem now, they kind of got stuck in my chest as I swallowed them, gym session was full of tingles after that

You sure it wasn't your body trying to reject the USN, haha. Ouch. I'll be quiet now

LOL or maybe it was me choking on the pills the whole gym session hahahaha

@ Nate and AlexRon..

Okay bro's so this 'tingley' feeling you experience is from the Beta-alanine in the pre workout. Take it on its own and you'll be freaking out from the sensation >> trust me!! :woohoo:

For me, pre workouts are the bomb! My current favorite one at the moment is 1MR by bpi sports. I do spice it up by adding an extra 5g of L- Arginine and around 5g of Beta - Alanine. This combo gets me pushing lank hard and the pumps are freaking amazing!

Also remember that you have to cycle your pre workout. After a couple of weeks they do jack shit and you need to take a break or buy another brand. I cycle mine, but I'm on them mostly all the time.

@ AlexRon.

Bru, I see there are a lot of threads on this pre workout subject here.. Check this one out [and there are many more hey] hope this helps.

If you guys like the tingles, Beta Alanine is what causes it. You can get this stuff pure.

If you want an insane pump nothing beats a 5mg Cialis.

It's used to treat ED, where do we get this?

The only thing that I have used that has given me INSANE pumps was Anabol.
As for pre workouts....Nano Vapour really did the job. Gave me that extra edge.
One thing I must stress is, don't think you a main man by doubling your pre-workout because the crash at the end is terrible.
My 5c. Lol

Well I for one would like to feel like I could run full sprint down to Durban when taking pre workout and to date that has never happened

Ron my bro,

Considering I have a bit of ED at the moment, that pre-workout tingly feeling seems to be as close as I get to a relationship right now. Haha

Seriously though, thanks for the info mate. Gonna give that a shot next month.

Nate

HA HA Nate, sorry to hear bud, your best mate at the moment must be your socks!!!

It's a pleasure Nate! Hahahaha! Bru well at least it's on your mind! That's a good sign! Hang in there Nate! It will all be good, trust me! Try not let it get you down hey! And remember your bridge is a good time! So make it count! And sure that prop is gonna sort out that ED situation chop, chop!

Dude I hope so. First test prop pin for bridge tommorow so hoping it sorts it out.

I am hanging in there but at the moment that is all it is doing. Haha

Low doses of PDEIV inhibitors have shown to be beneficial in causing an increase in peripheral circulation for conditions such as diabetes where complications arise because of decreased peripheral circulation.

Many supps contain "NO" which is Nitrous Oxide. (NOS for petrol heads, also laughing gas) This will probably be in the firm of some or other Nitrate which breaks down to form the NO. Much like poppers, when unasked give an intense head rush.

NO is also called EDRF -Endothelium Derived Relaxing Factor. Produced by the blood vessels to allow them to relax and expand.

This effect is short lived though.

The PDEIV's last a lot longer.

Unfortunately it is scheduled so you can only get if you have a pharmacist or dr mate.

VERY VERY VERY NB!!! Do NOT be tempted to use a full strength dose. If you don't have ED you may end up with priopism (prolonged erection). Sounds fun but after a few hours this will be a medical emergency requiring surgical intervention. Depending on the time and damage you may walk out unaffected, permanently impotent or in worst case, amputated.

Amputated - :ohmy:

Ok ill skip - thanks

What's the strongest coffee on the market, maybe ill get a better kick from that
