![]() Member 3757, 1746 posts SQ 202.5, BP 110, DL 255567.5 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | Has anyone got any tips for a pre-workout drink? NO-Xplode? I usually just have a protein shake about 45 mins before the gym but then it's been about 4 hours since I had my last meal. Should I try and eat a smaller meal 2 hours before the gym? I find my workouts are much stronger when I train Saturday mornings an hour after breakfast. Any advice would be great. | ||

Whats with the 1200mg of Iburprofen? Are you in that much agony whilst training?!?! ![]() I have a protein shake with taurine and a banana in it about an hour/hour & a half before training plus a strong coffee about 30mins before training Only take the taurine as I keep suffering from cramps in my lower back/hip region and mid-back but this has been happening for a long time now due to this impinged nerve in my hip Have tried some of the pre-workout stuff and it just gave me the shakes & s**ts! | ||

![]() Chris 'The Magician' Melling Member 1443, 978 posts SQ 270, BP 180, DL 320770.0 kgs @ 135kgs UnEq | I have 3 x200 mg ibuprofen , 4 x powerkick tabs ( cheaper version proplus) and either a double espresso or energy drink 45 mins before training , by the time I get to the gym I'm bursting to lift and still feel full of energy and chatty as fook by the end of my session. By contrast dedicated pre workouts have left me shaky and crashed out mid session with nausea and a s**tty mood to boot , not worth the money ime but some swear by them so who knows ![]() ![]() | ||
