gnasher16 29,664 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 The most common ingredients of pre workout powders are caffeine and creatine.....which are stimulants that fail to deliver actual nutrients to muscles....a diuretic will make you piss more than normal.....creatine causes water to be drawn into the muscle tissue giving the impression of more muscle mass but this water retention draws water away from other parts of your body increasing the risk of dehydration.......you,ll get away with this training once per day but top bodybuilders and fighters etc are training 2 sometimes 3 times per day its just not possible to take pre workouts every workout as dehydration will become a real factor.... Things like Trimethiglycine or Carnosine being actual modified amino acids help the muscle contract with a lot more force which is the true purpose of pre workout supps.....for an energy boost with no jitters Tyrosine is used by the body as a precusor to producing hormones such as adrenalin.......The supplement business is in a terrible state at the moment absolutely flooded with poor quality products and straight out gimmicks.....do your research and dont fall into the " i,ll have one of these and one of these " category.....your heart/kidneys/ liver will thank you for it later on believe me 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 29,664 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't tell you to piss off lol I'm 30 now, been training on and off since my teens! I'm not planning on squatting heavy daily, I'm talking 3 or 4 sets of 60 or 80kg! I just dont get the pre workout supps if you dont make maximum use of every last bit of energy it puts me in mind of filling your car with rocket fuel to drive round to Tescos .....as for Thailand from what im told with all them little treacles hopping about its the last place you go for a rest Edited May 12, 2015 by gnasher16 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j1985 1,983 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I like it, I didn't use them for years but this one seems to be ok. Maybe it's in my head but especially with cardio I'm a lot more focused. I'm going with the Mrs, probably right about no rest tho....? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Plummerterrier 291 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 How much are you guy bent over bb rowing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOMO 24,879 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Funny you mention squatting every day,,I've always been each body part once maybe twice a week ,,,that's what I was taught,,,,but I watched a thing on telly a good while back,,,watching Olympic lifters training,,,feck me it seemed they did nowt but squat,,,sometimes two sessions a day,,,and some of them boys had huge legs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 29,664 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 How much are you guy bent over bb rowing? Are you asking this because you are struggling to find your weight ?.....very few people lift the correct weight for them on working sets most people go too heavy,the Pendlay Row requires the hips and knees to be static....if they are not then you are not rowing properly this is what makes it a difficlut exercise to go heavy on......any type of jerk in a row is not allowing full range of motion......the Smiths Machine is good for rowing as it stabilises your form......best to do variations of row be it barbell,t bar or machine.......but going too heavy really is a waste of time.

socks 32,253 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I used to do part of my rowing exercises on an inclined bench to make sure the form was strict ....... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
