Yo fellas,
Does anybody drink an energy drink before/during training? I dont just because they're full of a lot of crap that isnt good for you, but some days I have to train late at night after a long day and I'm lookin for an extra jump when NO boosts arent enough.

Shock therapy is the way to go...it never fails me along with pump. I have tried sugar-free red bull..which is fine..also, cliff makes a gel called shot..cliff shots..they are really, really good...taste just like the original powergel formula before they added 4x the salt...which by the way tastes like 4x the salt...they are terrible!...plus the cliff shots have more flavors.
Anyway, don't wanna sound like I am promoting products here..other than my fav Universal of course! ;)

My favorite: Extreme Speed Stack in CranApple. Mmm...I train early in the morning and that helps. Also, try the Clif Bloks - basically, they're the solid form of the Clif Shots that Toni mentioned, but they're solid. And yummy. They taste like gummy bears...and make me hyper.
i drank a mdx (mountain dew's energy drink) before my workout today and I drank one earlier in the morning, i just love the way the damn things taste and it takes about 2 of them to have any effect on me anyways. but im on a mad bulk so i dont necessarily mind the extra cals and some sugar.

That sounds interesting, those Bloks. I may have to order some next time...I have to order everything since the bases here are very limited in their supplements section. Thanks for that!

I use to spend so much money on all those pre workout energy drinks, but now I just buy pro-lab caffeine tablets that are like 5 bucks for a hundred 200 milligram tablets. Most energy drinks have 200 mgs so I save alot of money doing that. I usually have it with a kre-alklyn capsule and I am set.

If your looking for a preworkout pump.. dont drink anything carbonated guys! the Carbonation in the drink has the inverse effect that a no2 supplement, and actually would cause your blood vessels to grow smaller, not dialate. the drink would dehydrate you too because caffiene has that effect, causing you to drink more liquid during your workout. it could also increase your blood pressure, over stimulate your heart or nervous system, which could be dangerous and isn't healthy for us athletes. *correct me if im wrong about the co2 having a inverse effect or no2.
