Question 1

what drink can i drink before a workout to give me energy?

Accepted Answer

Wrong Thoughts: Please do not buy into the 'energy drink' fraud phenomenon.  Energy comes from eating high protein, low sugar diets, getting enough sleep and getting regular exercise.

Question 2

i was drinking 2-3 energy drinks per day. i have stopped drinking them 1week. i have noticed during my workouts i am weaker and drained. please help?

Accepted Answer

Withdrawal.: That was a lot of caffeine you were taking in.  Stopping it suddenly would give you withdrawal symptoms.  Besides that, all that caffeine may have dehydrated you - you should be drinking water right now to see if it helps.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Supplement: I recommend none. They are not tested to show if they help.

Question 5

NO: Must supplement powders contain protein/whey and are very rich in amino acids ( small types of digestible protein )

Question 7

Sure: you could even add in a small amount of rice protein if you desired. Take care.

Question 8

can a pre-workout supplement used to give you energy and helps build muscle, like c-4, cause erectile dysfunction?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: There is a growing body of evidence that " workout supplements" have various negative side effects and there is scant evidence that is well collected that there are authentic positive effects.

Question 9

should i drink cold water post and pre workout?

Accepted Answer

Keeping with Cool.: Aside from the fact that cold or at least cool water is easier to drink as it seems to be more palatable, It is generally thought to be absorbed faster. It has a cooling effect on stomach especially after your body heats up after exercising. On top of all that, your body will expend more calories trying to make the cold water warm.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Yes: You do not need a high calorie, high sugar drink before working out.
