What do you use for a pre workout?

All that gear you run should be 750lb dead

nice numbers...progress on bench is most difficult for me, military press and squats are easy peezy...one thing that's helped my squats are sled pushes, focusing on intensity and squeezing the shit out of glutes/hammies

and that wasn't my cycle lol...it was some dumbasses' (bostin loyd)...all natty here!!

though I would jump on a cycle if I wasn't being tested for work...

I'm in a growth phase I guess you would say eating like a mad monkey, 205ish right now. Numbers are low though however as haven't been super heavy in while. Once in a while do 405 on deads or 275 bench but havent been pushing numbers as much unfortunately

13 mm is too serious for me since I'm not competing, so I got a smooth black in 10mm (lever)

I could pound my chest and write my PRs rather than prove em like smoosh but I'll save myself the time.

I did use it today for box squats/conventional DLs. it's definitely not broken in even though I spent last night rolling it in and out for a good hour (felt it jabbing in) BUT considering I box squat less than I squat - and matched it today (455x6) on the box- I felt my core completely secure. I let my breath out on the last rep and normally I'd fail, but the belt kept everything super tight even then.

Deadlifts, just went for reps so did 365x12x3. Tomorrow's a rest day, so Monday I'm going to really push it (I'll be carb loaded on stuffed crust pizza) so we'll see how that goes.

I've had better results when I keep my ego out of it and usually stick to 2 plates (bench, dl,squat and 135 barbell shoulder press) for growth, so I'be been hitting that. It's cool to check apes like you and smooch from time to time, but my penis is big enough that I don't do It maybe more than once a month.

Ps love you both

I'm not an ape, I'm a skinny bitch that started from the bottom now I'm here. My boy Dakota pulling 800 at 240 is the ape

I'm still working on increasing my flat bench, only started doing it a few months ago...at 245# right now, hoping to hit 300# by the end of my growth phase, at end of this summer...want my front squat to hit 315# as well

and sitting at 250#...max weight I'll allow myself to get up to is 280#...

EDIT: oh, and no belt, wraps, sleeves, or powerlifting shoes...all raw baby, I ain't not little bitch

This is a troll post, correct?

Reports and testings show these pre workouts do not really work.

To be honest the best pre work out is belive it or not, a few pulls of your pecker 20 minutes before your workout. That releases the tension in your sack and gives you the boast to lift heavy iron and really good intensity.

On a serious note, does anyone here train without pre workout and without taking any protein supplements?

[1MOREMOD]

Sure most days

Sometimes will train without preworkout. Only used protein supplements my first 3 months of training when I didn't know what I was doing. Also, there's no correlation between training effectiveness/intensity and protein supplements, as you seem to be implying. If you can get in your protein from whole food, stay away from powdered, tub protein.

Eggs > protein powder

I have been using Assault for 2 years. It works well for me.

protein drinks don't work for people, because they use the wrong protein and ingest it wrong as well.

they drink slow acting whey and want to chug it down faster than the body can process it getting all gassy and pissing out most of the active metabolites.

learn how each type of protein works, and take it sparingly

"Special" over the counter pre workouts are universally pretty dumb and ineffective compared to "less available" chemicals. The important thing is you get adequate nutrition and maybe some caffeine or amphetamine if you're really crazy. Just beware the cardiovascular side effects with respect to both and addiction potential in the case of amphetamine. No, I'm not suggesting street speed, people get this stuff prescribed all the time on the lightest of pretenses from psychiatrists and even GPs. The cardio effects won't be any worse than lots of caffeine if you take a reasonable dose and you have a healthy heart. The biggest risks are psychological because it's literally 1000 times more motivational than anything you're going to find over the counter. So much so that you may hurt yourself if you're not fully aware of the changed mental state.

Anyway...

If you really want to benefit from gym work I suggest you look into insulin. You can buy it over the counter at any pharmacy without a prescription along with the needles. Reason for that is diabetics die if they can't get it so for humanitarian reasons, no Rx required. There are different types, slow and fast acting. You want humalog / fast acting so you need to do plenty of research as this is dangerous shit. Make sure you know which syringes to ask for as they're available in a variety of gages, needle lengths, and capacities and nothing is more embarrassing than having the pharmacist think you're going to shoot up heroin or something and refuse the sale. ANYWAY, the way insulin works is, given proper nutrition to work with, it will load your muscles fast and to enormous capacity with everything they need to heal and grow like absolutely nothing else out there. Presumably if you're gonna go there you're already on some "exogenous androgens". Just be aware that you can kill yourself with insulin if you make mistakes. It's extremely powerful.
