Pre-work sups

[two_phat]

Any body take any decent pre-workout sups?

Usually I'm pretty content with my effort at the gym, but on the odd occasion I like to improve it - I don't take in much carbs during the day so I attribute it to that.

However the other day I took Gaspari Nutrition Super Pump 250 Pre Workout. And looking back, I had a pretty decent workout. It was just a sample I got - was it anything to do with this? or is it all in my mind??

hi mate, i bought some superpump, and apart from tasting like crap i found it definitley lifted the tempo, i also have been lacking pre workout carbs. and i thought id try something new so instead of buying a new superpump i bought isamorph. did f*ck all first try, but to be fair wasnt a full dose. i have legs tommora, so will take max dose (9 pills!) ill let ya know if they gimme a kick..

I think your best bet is ensuring optimum carbs before training and a mixture of creatine and a vasoldilator (is this what you guys describe as superpump??-something that contains Arginine a-ketoglutarate). I'd say that it wasn't just in your head that your workout felt better.

See this abstract below from a study in Oct 2008 Sport Nutrition & exercise metabolism journal. It only looks at increase in reps on bench press and wing gate test (30 sec power cycle test)

Sorry if I'm totally missing the point on what you are talking about I don't take many supps myself but I used to work for a supp. company for two years. :? :?

to be honest I don't know the exact ingredients - but yeah thats what i was talking about. seems like it has an effect from that study though...

i have legs tommora, so will take max dose (9 pills!) ill let ya know if they gimme a kick..

Yep I know what you mean,I started taking superpump 2 weeks ago and I have definitely had good gains in my weights, I feel more focused and it takes me from sleepy-work trodden-girl to enthusiastic-love-the-gym girl! I think the caffeine in it amongst other things helps!! I like it and it works for me! :grin: Tastes like chemicals though yuk!

will definitely cop me some superpump or morph in the future, jst finishd doing a loading phase on creatin mono so will give this stuff some time, cant wait to finish this shit tho so i can try the advanced creatine's

so my pre workout sups atm is a mix protein, creatin n carnitine drink, they aight

just got back from legs workout, and imo the morph was a waste of my moolah. not to say that it wont work for others, but at most it stopped me from falling asleep. i will be buying myself more superpump for sure though, it seems to be a consistent and effective product, especially for ppl like me who are shagged after work and need a boost for my w/out..
