Anyone use "Optimum Nutrition Essential Amino" for pre workout?
    #18703619 -

I'm thinking about getting some of this stuff to give me a boost before my workouts because I've been pretty lethargic lately. I've read a lot of body building reviews and what not but I want to know if any of you guys use it and how you like it.

I used it before, but it was a free sample. Can't really remember if it had any effect short term or not. If it did it was placebo though. The thing is, amino acids are the building blocks of the body, and our bodies don't like to use them for energy. The body will only use amino acids as an energy source if it's absolutely necessary; ie you're not getting proper nutrition. I've come to learn that these supplements are completely unnecessary, and a waste of money. If you're lacking in energy that means you're not taking in enough calories. So eat more, but eat more healthy stuff such as fruits, veggies, nuts, chicken, fish, etc.... Make a smoothie before you work out. I like adding raw cacao & macs to mine. It gives me a lot of energy, focus, good feelings & I don't feel all cracked out.

I use N.O. explode for me I think its the best. I've tried several ones before but not that one. Optimum is a good brand though especially for their protein shake.

use the examine.com site before you buy any supplement. i recommend you save some money and buy a brand that isn't so hyped. supplement direct sells BCAAs for very cheap

I find eating some dried fruit, or even fresh about an 30-60 minutes before working out tends to give me enough energy to work out... Also creatine 15-60 minutes before working out helps greatly as well.

Intra-workout BCAA's:

Scivation Xtend



This works well during workout

I'm always taking a pre-workout before training (Supplements and/or Coffee)

BCAAs work well during workout/post workout and in between meals.
