I don't think stuff like preworkout matters at all.
In my mind, it has almost no impact on a person's gains.

People think "If I take preworkout, I have more energy, my workouts will be more productive". And in reality, I think technique, and merely the will to push a set to failure, or close to failure is far more important.

If people are training with the proper intensity and focus and form, they're out of the gym in 45 minutes, give or take.
Nobody needs preworkout to get through a 45 minute training session if they're eating well.
Pre gives me that intensity and focus…….

What time do you train?

Do you think You would have that same intensity at 6:45AM?
If I got enough sleep.
Wake up. Cup of coffee. Little breakfast. Go.

Honestly preworkout powder risks aren't all that high and if you're pressing me on it...it's whatever. My earlier comments were more on the side of trolling than REALLY thinking it's going to give people a heart attack. I suppose it's not Panera charged lemonade.

No bullshyt: if it helps you, take it.

I don't really need it. And I wanted to push back on its importance because on this board specifically some people are fukkin ridiculous and over the top with their "powda" clown shyt.

But to some degree that's on me. Bodybuilding forums are well known for hyperbole, arrogance, bro science and other foolishness.

45 minutes? How many lifts are you doing in that time? Please post the workout you are doing in 45 minutes.

Had to take him off ignore to see what all the fuss was about. This bytch nikka said a workout in 45 minutes. :dead:


So you might just have enough time to hit one barbell lift and bounce? Tf? Ain't no type of decent weight x volume getting knocked out in two episodes of Seinfeld. :mjtf:



@Starski @TM101 @trap101 You see how these false gym devils will lead you astray from the Path of POWDA! your Uncle @Son Goku has laid out for you?

45 min-1.5hrs is plenty enough time for a workout. I do two-a-days mon, wed, and Fridays. Calisthenics Tuesdays and Thursday. Chill on the weekends.

Anybody else be feeling :francis::martin: when you got that last bit you're trying to lose and it seems like you just fluctuate for a while before you break through.

Sitting at 195 and trying to get to 190 before and I'm like :damn:
My thing too... Until I did sprints and elevated walking. Run on 6.8 to 7.1 for 45 seconds to a min then lift to 4.5 incline at least and 3.3 speed. shyt will fall off
