i need to get a preworkout shake come payday, ive tried NoXplode and kinda liked it, might get it again idk and ive tried a few others, anyone have one they swear by? i lift in the morning so being full of caffiene is a plus, the idiots at gnc just try and sell you the most expensive shit so i dont want to ask them shit, thanks in advance

i generally don't use anything before i work out, except a tall glass of water about 30-45 mins before i start.

Payday doesn't matter. working out first thing in the morning is the best way to adjust your hormone levels for the rest of the day, just remember to eat a big breakfast afterwards lol

of course, if you're body building im sure you'll want as much good protein as you can get.. but i've never heard of a pre-workout shake

i always thought u took them after you work out

[93hatch]

yeah ive been eating a big ass bowl of rice, chicken and a protein shake afterwards, i guess i meant pre workout drink, basically more for energy than anything cuz i get sick and want to shit my pants if i eat before the gym but not taking anything i notice i get tired doing cardio sooner

[whitemustang02]

i used to take no explode and liked it but stopped for 2 reasons, 1 it has some kreatine in it and i am not a fan of that, and 2 because it made me feel like a had fake straight, meaning one day i didn't take it and went to the gym, and couldn't do the same weight.

i know some people like the 5 hour energy, and i have tried that a few times but am not to big a fan of it my self.

now i don't use anything, just eat about and hour or so before and drink water, then have protein after.

sorry i can't be of more help, just giving you my experience.

if you're getting tired doing cardio then i'd practice your breathing, build up your lungs, and get those ribosomes going in your muscles lol

take big, long, slow breaths through the nose while doing cardio, provides more oxygen.. most ppl breath like they're sprinting while doing a light jog.. you're bound to get tired quickly

im a huge fan of creatine, i take 5 grams everyday after i eat my post workout meal, and i think i might just buy the noxplode again, the pump from that shit is ricockulous

cardios pretty new to me, ive only been at it for maybe 6 weeks, i like doing it just feels like without shit in my stomach i run outa gas after lifting

you're not going to get any support from me, im a huge advocate of going completely natural

what are your goals anyways, you wanna be a powerlifter? or just look good?

[whitemustang02]

yeah if you like creatine then yeah i would probably recommend that, it is probably the best bang for the buck i could find. i don't remember the exact name but there was another one out there that was almost 2x the price but was supposed to give you a even bigger kick.

[93hatch]

na not to sound conceited but i think im finally big enough to slim down a bit, im at 176 right now, was at 183 and i bench about 290-295 so im just trying so lose some fat, get a 6 pack

same here, i only take protein cause there is no way for me to eat as much as i need in a day with out it.

[whitemustang02]

i'll see if i can find it, i think it is by the same company that makes no explode, do you know who that is by chance

[MSO]

protein shakes are ok imo, there's nothing fake about them and there really isn't a practical way to get that much protein

lemme tell you about fish tho, if you're low on energy after working out, i suggest eating some good fish

its PACKED with protein and omega fatty acids (which are good for your brain) and eat that along with fresh veggies (raw broccoli is awesome i love it!)

[whitemustang02]

i believe this is it, and it is about the same price, but it isn't a powder it is a pill,

but you can check it out for your self.

GNC - BSN: BSN® Nitrix™

Whey protein FTW.

i know how good fish is for you, but cant stand to eat it, so it suck to be me lol

yeah same here i wish i liked samon n shit, and zippeh if i take a protein shake before the gym ill shit my pants on the treadmill

[Traidmarx]

muscle mik is what i've always used, doesn't taste like shit, has alot of protein as well as a of BCAA's, I'd suggest muscle milk, my fav. flavor is peanut butter chocolate. As far as creatine if thats what your looking into, i'd recommend Size-On

[TheUNZippee!]

You are supposed to take the Whey after you work out.

Within 20 minutes.

And I always mix mine with a scoop of Gatorade power to help replenish electrolytes.
