I was sceptical tbh. I tried it though and it makes a difference to me. I can do an extra couple of reps in a set. I need less rest in between sets and I find I'm more focussed. How much of this is a placebo effect I'm not sure. But it works for me.what is the purpose of pre workout? does it make you stronger during weights?
if not i dont see purpose of it. i am awake at gym so dont need a "hit" lol
just have a black cofee before you leave house for gym

Not sure what my one rep best is haven't had a spotter for a while.
Tend to try and increase the weight every couple of weeks by a 2kg.

Thought I'd be hardcore and do the gym and then circuits after.
2 hours did about 1100 calories and then 6 bag rounds so probably another couple of hundred (Fitbit is shite and wont work with gloves on)
Had Thermopures in between gym on the way and felt fresh as a daisy! None of the burning sensation and the itch so you don't feel it as such.
If there's no difference after a week I'm getting a KFC every day.
Hahahahaha!!
Gone back to good old fashioned exercises no weights, press ups crunches ( not crunchies) and back to 12 stone and in the best nick for years.... for an old bastard
Sensible eating and modest exercise have helped me lose 24lbs since new year. It's taken a bit of willpower, mind!
For the first time in about 6 years i am set to be officially not 'overweight', and feel great. On a real rolitwith it.
Get yourself a pull-up bar too?
Good shout that, always worry they might bring the door frame down though. Funny though years I spent in the gym with modest gains. Back to body resistance and massive change, convenient too. Even just watching the footy periodically got down did push ups. 5 x 20 good form and muscles ache far more than going to gym
I always worry about those bars
Other thing is motivation, I bought a smith machine for 300 with 100kg of weights and used it twice because I couldn't get "in the zone" out the back.
On another note. What would be people's thought on a decent weight for a bicep dumbell curl with say 12 reps. I'm average build but with reasonable definition. Not a body builder by any stretch
Thanks - in fairness, much of it was excess weight I'd piled on between mid-November and New Year, doing no exercise, eating junk food and boozing every day, so there was some "low hanging fruit" that would have fallen off anyway once the party season ended.Well done! Thats a fair whack!

Hard to say, I much prefer barbell curls but that's because Im lazy and they are easier to adjust the weights on! Same with hammer curls!
Could you get a set where you can change the weights and start off at like 12 and work your way up?

i always have it before bed with zmasDoes anybody use casein? Bought some to stop me from going to bed hungry so will try that later.
Have you noticed much difference? It was a weird texture.i always have it before bed with zmas
Noticed swapping off the pre workout powder and using CLA with meals I get much better sleep. Even though it's not longer I wake up more awake.
