Are companies starting to take the piss with pre-workout supplements?

Are companies joking with their new 'ultra concentrate' pre-workout supplements?

Just saw another new one today, which I won't name because it deserves no attention. 3.5g formula , 300g of caffeine, claims you just need one scoop.

Along with a nice marketing video that if you have to take anymore then one tiny scoop you're being conned. Also mentioning to check if you're getting a real pre-workout, not just some over stimmed product... oh you mean like yours?

At least there's some new ones of merit. Currently trying pumpbol. Is it just me?

Any other new pre-workouts of worthy mention that might get lost behind this nonsense?

I'm American, and I understand it. Probably because of my Irish/Scottish descent though :-)

I think it's British for the most part but it means to make fun of, ridicule, rib, sarcasm, etc...

I agree Syn, most of the pre-wo stuff is overhyped powders filled with stims that leave me with no appetite, stimmed out, or shaky afterwards. I'm starting a tub of Lit-Up by Applied Nutriceuticals today. Really like the profile and looking forward to running it.

It's quite obvious that he's saying that companies are taking the Urine out of pre workout supplements.:lmao::lmao:

'Introducing our newly formulated ReWorkout concentrate...notice there is no 'P' in it, pls keep it that way.' :biggthumpup:

Interesting so far. Picked up a jug in the sales too. I would certainly say, unlike some claims from some reviews, this isn't going to as strong as a stim pre workout.

I've had some lackluster workouts of late, mostly due to overtraining I think, so gonna run it longer before I pass to much judgement.

It's nice boost and pumps have been nice and seems to boost endurance. Have tried stacking it with jack3d and maximize v2 since I had some samples. Maybe a little over hyped but think I might end up keeping some around.

An over hyped supplement.......never!:lmao:
 
to the OP, just watched the video... hes so ridiculous. 1 scoop b/c theres hardly anything in it. they dont disclose all the ingredient amounts. and this isnt anything more than stims and some crap AAKG mixed with a lof of beta alanine
 
I don't need any pre-workout supplements and don't take them. Most are are loaded with just enough caffeine to dehydrate you, pump up your blood pressure to ridiculous levels(which definitely is not needed while working out), and give you a headache. Yeah thats really what I want before I workout!. The last sample I tried was Xpand Extreme Pump. I drank it during a workout, when I was half threw I ended up throwing it out because I felt like crap. I only used it because it was free. Stupid reason I admit that. Still I never understood the obsession with pre-workout supplements. Why on earth do you want to raise your blood pressure, increase cortisol , and dehydrate yourself for your workout?.
 
Mesomorph is the only formula I can think of that has high dosed ingredients and not just caffeine!

I know what product your taking about, it looks like 1M.R with even less ingredients lol

Actually had not problem with the marketing, there were reviews on NP saying that it replaces any need for stims, which I think is a bit of a stretch.

Actually got to give it a proper go today for my chest workout. My baseline for pre workout is : jack3d x2.5 scoops, Stoked x4 caps and Modern BCAA x 1 scoop. Found the icarin gives awesome pumps, but would need to cycle at some point. Had picked up 3 bottles of stoked on the cheap, so decided to experiment :).

Today it was jack3d x 2 scoops, pumpbol x 1.5 scoops and Modern BCAA x 1 scoop. Had good energy in general today, good pre workout meal about 90 pre taking my pre supplements. The big difference for me today was that I waited 45 minutes before working out, most by mistake because I took it and got distracted. Think that really made the difference.

Energy was smooth though the workout, a little but not too much BA tingles and the pump was amazing! Felt a bit more of a strength bump from it then stoked I think, weight or reps went up for all exercises.

Next time I think I'll try it at 1 scoop of pumpbol, maybe went a bit crazy on that with the mind set of 'I'll probably need more' hehe. Pretty impressed with it, curious to see how it treats me the next few workouts.
