Are pre workouts just trash these days?

[MegaDaveMustang]

funny you ask about flavor because I’ve had probably 100+ different preworkouts over 2 decades and it’s in the top 2 worst tasting ones I’ve ever had lol. It says rainbow candy flavor but it just basically tastes like chemicals. I actually chase it with water and then Gatorade. But to me it’s nbd because I’m only chuggin it for the effects. One full scoop plus a 200mg Modafinil and I’m stimulated to lift.

Haha yeah I know the type. But hey if it works, it works. I'm truly not too concerned about flavor either; I'm very confident I've tasted worse.

Not sure how old you are but around like 2000 I think, there was a preworkout called N.O. Shotgun. That’s still the worst tasting one I’ve ever had. It was actually hard to get down lol

I've never tried that one but I definitely remember seeing it at the local GNC or maybe a gym at the time.

And let's just say I'm old enough to have cut my teeth on some Zambon and of course IP. Saved my day with the tabs. The gym bros that helped me in the first stages ended up knowing just slightly more than me before the time I was ready to move upward and onward.

Ahhhh good times.

Then you probably remember Ultimate Orange. The original. First time I tried it I was 16-17 and it blew my head off. Was probably a combination of my virgin receptors and the ephedrine and Tang. But that stuff could have you replacing shingles on your roof at 2am.

Oh yeah I remember UO. A lot of the school athletes drank the hell out of it. Ironically, one of the "ginger" players who was on it was the first one in our age group to break 300 on the bench. But of course, take that for what you will.

Even back then I kept things mostly simple. Could buy ephedrine cheap all day OTC anywhere. I took so much that I was told about 5 years after graduation that E was the cause of my two gargantuan kidney stones that had to be broken up into dozens of pieces each so I could pass them.

Oh snap. I still take ephedrine some days. Didn’t know it was bad on kidneys.

In our youth, we did a lot of stupid things, but the body often forgave us such mistakes.
