  if i work out after work will all the pre-wo drinks ruin my sleep? i work out around 7 or 8 usually.

  Any corporate desk jockeys want to share their experiences?

    i guess it really depends on your body. For myself , i train at night too and take a shit load of supplements but always have a good night sleep. Others have trouble sleeping when using pre-workouts.

    It relates to how fast your liver can metabolise the active ingredients if that makes sense.

    it depends on how your body handles them, some people can't sleep when they start using pres, others like me are totally wasted after a session and crash from using pre workouts. you'll find that they wear off over time (or the more you use them), so dosage is key here.

      Agreed with UMBrah. Follow the dosage pattern and maybe if you are just starting out, don't take them with late night workouts.

      I generally take PwO's only as late as 7:30 but I'm sure I could go later if needed.

    I've used PWO drinks as late as 8pm and have slept pretty well at 11 or 12. However, I have a hyper metabolism so YMMV.

    If you're just starting out, ensure that you take it 30 mins before the workout so you have a bit more buffer. Eat well after the workout and only use PWO if you're doing weight training. Give it a miss if you're doing cardio.

  i work behind a desk all day and hit the gym after 6pm. Most good pre or intra work out drinks don't have that much of a negative effect on me as long as i dont put in too much and work out hard when i take them, otherwise what's the point. Tend to prefer intra workout supps as opposed to preworkout, but that's just me.

  walugi on 06/09/2012 - 11:04

  do you take caffeine and sugar loaded pre-wo?

  i still have a bit of jack3d but it kills me to take it in the morning. my stomach churns really bad from it.

  Speaking of customs, does anyone know a more precise list than http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page4369.asp#e1074 to detail substances that can or can not be imported? I am just wondering with things such as DHEA, does that fall under their definition of an androgenic substance?

    No. Just drink a coffee and save yourself some $$$$$

    Not really… I just use products like these as motivation to work harder.

    imo it does make you more focused and get that one extra rep.

      mlburnian on 06/09/2012 - 14:35

      ok, i will pass then. will just stick to whey for the time being

        Good idea. They are good, but if you're like me, your body will adapt quite quick. If you aren't struggling to get stronger each week, get through your workouts in time, etc. then save them for later.

  Damn, they won't deliver jack3d to Aus. Would've been cheap with the referral code.

• 

  IAMDANNO on 06/09/2012 - 14:21

  Which one.?
  Normal or Jack3D Micro.?

  Thanks in Advance.?

  • 

    Morien on 06/09/2012 - 14:46

    Normal is banned in Aus, and according to wonga (post above yours), they won't ship to Aus. Micro is allowed in Aus.

    Never tried micro, but normal was great, til I got used to it.

  wonga on 06/09/2012 - 17:20

  Bit strange, I was able to put through an order for oxyelite pro which also contains DMAA like jack3d (both banned)
