Do you use pre-workouts?

Question

(If you do) Why do you drink them? What helps you get going if you don't drink pre-workouts? What's an alternative to pre-workout drinks?

3g L-Citrulline Malate 2:1, 3g Beta-Alanine, 500mg Ajuga Turkest Extract powder (Turkesterone basically). and 1 scoop of Whey protein isolate 30 grams of protein which provide the rest of the amino acids (... all non-flavored mixed together and it tastes like yuck). I take my vitamins as well.

It's my own special blend for a pre-workout. I am not a fan of the caffeine or their "proprietary blends" or "special sports blend" in the commercial stuff where they don't tell you how much of what is in it. I order the raw ingredients off of Amazon and just make my own. My mix has no sugars so I eat some oatmeal.

I drink them. The reason I drink them is I have more energy during the workout so I go harder. You don’t need it, just go to the gym. If you want an alternative, drink coffee.

No. 1-2 hour before my workout I drink 150 grams of ultra fine oats in a shaker mixed with camu camu powder, flaxseed powder, plant protein, nac, organic sulfur, yeast flakes, coconut milk powder, vitamin C powder and glutamine powder. After my workout I drink 30 grams of pea protein isolate.

I do and I do it because it helps hold off muscle fatigue and makes you feel more energized and helps with lifting more.

coffee also does more or less the same thing a lot of body builders drink a cup of coffee before a workout used to see it all the time.

Sometimes, when I’m not in the mood to gym or when I’m on my period (bc I get really weak and anemic). When I don’t drink pre-workout but I still need that extra kick I usually just chew on some menthol mint gum, it wakes me up and keeps me alert somehow.

Are they really helpful? I simply whole protein…soy, beans, chicken breast etc. The energy load and healing rate seems to be working 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Just coffee for me. I don't know what it is but i always seem to hurt myself on preworkouts over the years and never injured myself when not on pre-workouts. Guess i push myself plenty without them and too much when amped up and flushed.
