Low Carb Pre-Workout Energy Supps?

Diet and Nutrition
1


I am about to make my second run at the AD. Started before but got side tracked. I am looking for a good Pre workout supp while on this diet. The only problem I had with the AD was during the adaptation phase, I was just super low on energy at about 12pm pre workout. Anyone have any good recommendations on a pre-workout supp? Thanks

Spike is awesome. Check the store. Power Drive is also great. Helps with neural activation and focus during the workout. Read the articles on both. Even just tyrosine can help. But Power Drive has a lot of tyrosine in it.

Thanks for the help. I am new to the T-Nation site and am really impressed so far. Does the Spike and Power Drive give you the quick boost like some NO products do? Just wondering.

Thanks

NO is crap (just thought I would throw that out there).

Spike will give you the caffeine boost, and has some other CNS goodies in there.

Power Drive is a non-stimulant, but the formula is a CNS activator.

Use one at a time to determine tolerance, but in my experience you can take both if you want. I find I don’t need to take both.

Also, Spike tabs come in regular and caffeine free.

That boost from those “special” NO products is likely from caffeine. Big whoop, right?

Spike gives me an insane boost that lasts. Power Drive puts me in a fantastic mood, not to mention my lifts always seem to go up quicker. I think it’s underrated just from a well-being standpoint.

alright…I will go ahead and see how they work for me. I am sure the boost from the NOX is as you said…from caffeine. Do you ever notice a tolerance build up with Spike or Power Drive? Just wondering. Thanks for the input.

Another vote for Spike tablets or Spike Shooter. Either gets the job done with ammo to spare.

You can build a tolerance to the caffeine in Spike, yes. The Power Drive does not effect your beta receptors, so I do not think that you develop a tolerance to Power Drive.

cool…Ive ordered the Spike…gonna try that then Power Drive. Then I plan on trying them together. I noticed Spike offers a Caffeine-Free option as well…so if I like it i will try cycling them. Thank you for the advice. I will let you know how it goes
