preworkout supps and upset stomachs...

[mweaver84]

Lately my preworkout supps have been giving me an upset stomach and making me feel like sh*t at the gym. Right now I am taking RPM... I usually go workout first thing in my morning so my stomach is completely empty when I take it. Just wondering if anybody has had this problem... should I have a small snack or something before taking RPM?:dunno:

My bottle is over half empty and plan on trying Jack3d after its empty... but in the mean time I guess I'll try lowering my dosage, taking 4 right now, 3 doesn't seem to very much for me but think it might help my stomach a lil...

just looking to see if anyone else has had this problem or has a solution...

:thanks:

I have the same problem - yes. I found eating half a banana while taking the supps or 10-20 minutes before taking the supps helped alot.

Ya I get it every so often when starting new stims. RPM did it to me again this morning but it never really hits me til im done lifting. Overall it goes away with continued use for me and the effects of RPM build into it being worth it once they diminish.

What I would recommend man, is lay off the pre workout supps for awhile. Alot of us love tossing down these pills and drinks like they wont be here tomorrow. Fact is we pay little attention to our stomachs themselves. Think about the crazy crap you are putting in it, that it wont normally be seeing. Give it awhile to calm down, settle. Increase yogurt and fruit intake, avoid spicy things for awhile as well.

Every part of our body can be worn down to a breaking point if you dont give it a chance to rest.

i eat those natural valley garnola bars a bannana and my pre workout supplement thats tons of carbs and tons of energy and i dont feel hungry or anything so i think u should be good if u eat a lil bit.

Good posting by Zero tbh.

We automatically assume its the supps, whereas it could be our internal processes giving us a message.
