Red Bulls ?

[JLo]

Just curious -

I drink a Red Bull almost everyday about an hour before my workout. To me, there is a noticeable increase in energy when I drink these. I also take 4 Stackers a day (or another type of ephedrine). My question is: Are the Red Bulls bad for me considering that I drink them late in the day - around 6pm - and they are loaded with sugar? Does anyone have an opinion on this? My goal is to lose fat and gain bulk, so if these Red Bulls are not worth the extra energy boost, I will cut them out.

Not to mention they are 2 bucks a pop! If there is another supplement that will give me a quick energy boost before my cardio workout in the evening, please let me know.

Thanks.

I was tryin ta look up how much sugar, etc. is in that stuff. You can get the same rush from a can of Mountain Dew I bet! If you want to lose fat, all that sugar just creates an insulin spike and that defeats the whole purpose. If you are looking for a kick, maybe just stick w/ the thermos.

I've also taken green tea extract and l-carnitine for the non-ephedrine kick.

I drink a cup of coffee before I workout out; gives me a quick jolt at lifting time.

What about Creatine? I have been told that would bloat me, but it is advertised as giving quick energy boosts?

Creatine makes me hold, around 2-3 extra pounds of water. You need to be drinking a lot of water while taking it.

I feel some xtra energy when I am on it, and like the "bloated, puffy" look it adds to my muscles.

That very well might be something for you to try. I like it.

I may have to try some Creatine then. 2-3 pounds of water sounds like a lot though. If I am trying to go for the more vascular look, I am guessing I shouldn't try this.

I'll check it out....

I am also starting liquid clen - today is my first day - so maybe the bloated effect wouldn't be so bad with the clen in my system. All this is so new to me......

Alright - I guess Red Bulls are out - I'll drink my last one today....

I will admit when I first red the title to this thread, I thought for a split second you were talking about Red Bulls beer???? I think there is such a beer???? Then , of course I read on......but I have never heard of the BS .

 

[JLo]

I think the beer you're thinking of is Red Dog.
