    Default do pre workout drinks work?

    drinks such as the no xplode drinks and pre workout drinks, do you think they are actually good for using for a fight and for training or do you think its best not too, do you think they elevate heart rate to much and make you gas quicker?

    they're all quite high in caffeine and you build up tolerance to it so over time it is pretty useless I reckon.



    I can make google like your site a bit more -> SEO

    I get good results from PhDs V-max pump.

    Although yes, you do have to watch your overall caffeine intake.

    i don't have an answer for you i'm just jumping on your thread:P

    Does anyone know if you should use pre-workout drinks if your goal is to lose fat, I some times feel tired before conditioning class and want a quick boost to help me get through it but was wondering if it will affect my weight loss?

    I use it pre-fight and for the more intense training sessions.

    It will help you with focusing pre-workout.

    It shouldn't affect your weight.

    Don't use all the time. like others said only use occasionally as you will get used to it and will need more to work.

    I have used the PHD one as well and it was quite nice.

    Try and get some samples from different suppliers to see which ones work and taste nice as the tubs are not cheap and you want to have one that makes you feel good and tastes nice!
