Best pre-workout supplement for women?

[Anonymous]

I never thought about taking a pre-workout supplement before but I had received a sample of Pump-HD pre-workout and I can't believe how much energy I had.. for the first time in a long time my body is actually sore again...

so I really want to find a pre-workout for those days that I'm just extra tried in the morning as I go to the gym at 5 am. I heard that some pre-workout formulas have creatine and so they are more meant for men... Should I be wary of taking these?

Also, any other recommendations would be great.. fat burners or anything to get better results in the gym so that I can jump over this plateau that I've hit.

Thanks a lot!

Fat burners are scams. They'll burn pretty much nothing.

Honestly, I just looked at pump-HD and it looks like it's weak for any supplement junkie. Worst of all is it doesn't tell you how much caffeine is in it. Preworkouts are mostly just caffeine with other fad supplements thrown in that people are saying works. The only other thing I can see majorly impacting is the beta alanine but you may not have even gotten enough to notice it. Beta alanine is known to give tingling feelings all over the body when taken.

I personally think it gave you a rush because of a heightened amount of caffeine that this has but doesn't tell us how much is in it. If you want that rush, just take some sort of caffeine like coffee (preferrably without sugar) and roll with it.

Creatine is good but it doesn't net you automatic results just from taking it once. You gotta be taking it daily. Pump-HD has 2g and most people recommend 3-5g daily. You can get creatine dirt cheap (like 12 bucks for months and months of supply). Women can take creatine with no problems.

Just drink black coffee 15 minutes before gym, It's a natural pre-workout supplement.
Don't waste money on buying things like Jack3d, Assault, c4 shit and shit.
Do you know about how big is this supplement industry business?
I live in India and we don't have any supplement industries like that.
Though I have a defined six pack and a ripped body.
If you're willing to spend money on them, then I suggest go for BSN N. O. Explode.

Drinking coffee isn't good for working out, coffee is a diuretic, therefore taking blood and water out of the muscles. It may give you energy but is bad for your muscles. Natural creatine absorbs water, and coffee negates the effect.

@maiez - It's really funny bro. I saw the contents of this N. O. Explode and it contains both caffiene and creatine :P :P

I keep it simple. I use Muscle Milk. It was recommended to me by my Dr. who is a sports physician as well. At our level you don't need a whole lot more. It's also good for your bones & teeth. I can feel the difference.
My friend who was MR. Arizona (way back) use Myoplex.
So I guess whichever is cheaper in your area.

Stay away from some of those other supplements like Gel shots or black coffee, even at your age they give your heart a big jolt.

Be very careful with medication, the publicity won't tell you anything about the (long term) side effects. Kidneys and livers generally don't like medication even if you don't feel the impact immediately.
I would not take anything, just take your time to warm up and only increase the intensity of your workout when your body feels ready for it.
