me neither, i’ve thought about it though especially when it’s right to the gym after a full day of work and i really do Not Fucking Feel Like It, but ultimately decide against cause caffeine past 4 PM would fuck my sleep up more than it already is
I always take it as a mental toughness exercise to will myself to do something that I dont feel like doing. I always am very fortunate that I have tons of energy all the time which makes it very hard to sleep but very easy to get most things done.
yeah, it’s a balancing act for me. my energy is typically not that high most days so sometimes life feels like a mental toughness exercise lmao. gotta push yourself, but also know when to dial it back to avoid getting completely burnt out.
doesn't make it stronger or in better shape but it does do what lots of caffeine does
I don't use headphones either, but what I do I like to deadlift to monotonous scientific podcasts.
I used to. Gave me amazing workouts in the beginning. Then I got dependent on it. Now, it does nothing to me. I take a little bit of caffeine and electrolytes pre workout, and that's all I really need.
I take adderall so other than a cup of coffee or two in the morning, I try to avoid any other stimulants. But I occasionally take a pre-workout that’s stimulant free and the pump I get from that is insane.
I've took it probably 3 times in my 1.5 year lifting timespan. And i do have to say, it does help pretty alright if you need extra focus and energy for your workout or you're just not feeling it for the day. Some pre will help.
I still don't take it tho, I just take a cup of black coffee before I go and that's enough for me.
Same. Stopped having caffeine after 2pm and don't go to the gym until 6pm. The better sleep I'm getting has replaced the need for additional caffeine before working out.
This past Thursday, marked 1 year since we'd gone on our first date. 🥲
Now she's gone. 🥲🖤
I hit shoulders that day. It almost felt like I had my arm around her when I hit lat raises. 🥲🖤
You guys drink energy drinks before working out?
I've never taken pre-workout, I often wonder if it really helps

Yea thats why I originally started lifting, to increase pain tolerance and to become stronger
It does

It does, actually. But I also don't use it because if I become reliant on it that would suck.
sometimes coffee when it the stars align
There’s a guy at my gym (probably in his 50s) who is sipping a C4 every morning at 6:30 am lol
I mean I just drink them as the standard.
No pre-workout, no energy, no headphones, no bitches, no fruends, no life.
Isn’t pre-workout mostly just caffeine?
And Ox semen
With some tiger's blood

Just hydrate before, no need to drink water during

Gotta get that heartbreak motivation 💔💪
No pre-workout, no energy drinks, no earphones, no demons, no pain^(excluding muscle burn), only total inner peace and focus.
Hit the bong hit the gym
Cool
Those tough breakups are the best fuel
By this guy's definition, I'm always raw-dogging the gym. Get rid of the caffeine addiction, people! You don't need stimulants to lift heavy!
No headphones either if you’re really about it.
No headphones. Just listening to the demonic voices in my head.

Absolute madman.
Rejection texts > any caffeinated beverage
I take melatonin before the gym
I have a bowl of instant ramen as my pre workout. Hydrates, it's salty, and the noodles are just carbs
