What's the best one I can buy?

Would like to buy at a store and not online.

Drink, pills, powder, etc

I use Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard pre- workout. The blueberry lemonade is awesome. Its a powder you mix with about 10-12oz of water. I add crushed ice. I used the C4 Explosion for a month. It was good, too. But I switched to all Optimum Nutrition products earlier this month. Love ON products. Buy it on Amazon in the 60 serving size and it's pretty reasonable.

Mesomorph in bomb pop flavor is one of the best on the market right now in my opinion. Ultimate nutrition is best place to buy any supplements!

What is a pre workout supplement suppose to do for you?

I always worked out in the early mornings, I used a strong cup of coffee, and drank plenty of water once I started working out. Once I got home I would make like 2 eggs for my breakfast, no carbs.

I haven't ever taken the pre-workout supplements. I do what Red has done, and my hype to get going is coffee. Now, my son has used NOS BLAST for more energy and focus for pre-workout supplements. Also, after the workouts he was religious with taking Whey Protein by Body Fortress for helping build muscle and strength, and to boost recovery time after workouts. I seen noticeable differences in his muscle mass. All is over the counter at Walmarts or pharmacies.

Any good name brand Nitric Oxide should get you going just fine.

A local store should be able to guide you to a good fit - my recommendation is to try and get one with as low of Caffeine content as possible. It's the one stimulant I've found that messes with my system in ways others don't (Taurine, B12, etc).

I do recommend staring with a half serving instead of a full serving just to get a feel for how it runs through your veins. Some take longer than others to kick in. 20-30 minutes is long in my book, the real good stuff had me charged up within 10 minutes (Jekyll).

I did notice over time that it's good to switch brands because there's a bit of conditioning / tolerance that seemed to kick in with the cheaper stuff.

The feel of a post-workout burn after using a good Nitric Oxide is kind of addictive. With the best stuff, it felt like I was staying essentially pumped for the next 6 hours. Feels cool!

I tried this for the first time today. Not that flavor is a big deal but it tasted awesome. It gave me enough push to finish at 115% of the weight lifting sets I planned on doing. We'll see how it does on Saturday.

My mental desire has been weaker than my physical craving. I only lift 3-4 times a week so getting the 'want to' back is an obstacle I have to overcome.

I prefer C4 in the Blue Rasperry flavor. That stuff tastes better than Koolaid and mixes really easily even without a shaker ball. There are a few different elements to look for in preworkout supplement if it's the only thing you're taking.

Creatine - the most proven muscle building / endurance supplement out there. It needs to build up in your body, so taking it once a week doesn't do much good.
Amino Acids - another building block for muscle that is well-studied and proven to help, especially with recovery
Caffeine
Beta Alanine - this is what gives you the 'tingle' in pre-workout. It's also supposed to help delay lactic acid buildup (the burn) in your muscles to help you get more reps in
Niacin - this will make you feel warm or flushed

two cups of greek yogurt, a half cup of granola or oatmeal, and a cup of coffee is a good pre-workout

You should look at www.labdoor.com. It ranks all types of supplements based on their ingredients. The preworkout that I take is ENGN by EVLution in the blue raspberry flavor. It is spelled weird and sounds stupid but I like it. I am currently taking my 3rd container of it, the price isn't too bad either. I order it from Amazon.

Scam? Science and the way we respond physiologically to stressors be it exercise induced, work induced, spouse induced etc all play a part in how we perform physically and mentally. Pre training fuel is not a scam if approached properly. That is the same as saying fuel for my vehicle is a scam when I get in and know the low fuel light is on and I have a 60 mile commute.
Do your own research. I would never recommend buying anything off the shelf as a pre prepared supplement especially once you know and understand the chemical basis for which these products are manufactured from.
A good place to start is a reputable company with their own and independent research and development.

I find this very interesting. I have been wanting to get something like this done.

Your typical doctor will not know how to look at this type of stuff. I've asked around and nothing come up so far.

No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

That looks like a fine company to source supplements from

You are correct, pre-training fuel is very important. But the PWOs on the market are all scams. Nitric Oxide boosters - SCAM. The science does not support what they claim. There are other PWOs that don't claim to be NO boosters but they are overpriced and do nothing that a well designed meal and some caffeine will do for you.
