3 Major Reasons Why Most Pre-Workout Supplements SUCK
Published: Wed, 02/13/13
Most are based around some unproven "compound" and combined
with a tried & true supplement like Creatine.
Yup, nothing more than high doses of caffeine and creatine along
with some other nasty ingredients we'll get to in a minute ...
And 90% of them just didn't work!
That makes them a total waste of money--nothing you couldn't get
from drinking a few cups of strong coffee and taking a serious muscle
builder like Hyper Gain!
Reason #2: They Are Loaded With
Physique Destroying-Sugars!
Truth is ...
You'll never look like a bodybuilder unless you're big ... AND ...
ripped. That means you gotta keep your body-fat super low too...
I guess they thought packing a pre-workout supplement with 90%
sugar would give you an extra "jolt" before you hit the gym...but...
all it's gonna do is cover the muscle you work so hard for with ugly fat.
But of the 10% of the pre-workout formulas that had some effect--
99% of them were jam-packed with maltodextrin and other simple
carbs--many with a Glycemic Index HIGHER than straight sugar!
(Plus, new research is showing every time you "bulk up" and gain
fat along with muscle--it makes it harder and harder to ever get
lean again because you're actually MULTIPLYING the number of
fat cells in your body with each bulk!)
And for this reason alone - the other 10% of pre-workout formulas
didn't make the cut.
Reason #3: "Proprietary Blends" That....
Hide What's REALLY In Them!
If you pick up a bottle of any of the currently popular pre-workouts
that are available today and you look at the label you'll notice a bunch
of "proprietary blends" that don't show you the actual amount of each
ingredient.
This is supposed to be there so the formula can't be knocked off
(although I'm not sure why you'd want to with most of them!), but
what it often does is make it so companies can skimp on the expensive
ingredients that actually do something while still being able to put it on
the label.
This way you see all the fancy names and think it's jam-packed with
goodness, when in reality most of the ingredients have been "sprinkled"
in - meaning there's just enough to pass a test, but not enough to
actually do you any good when you're lined up under 315lbs on the bench.
There is some good news though. Although most pre-workout powders
