Hey y'all! I am avid fitness goer...and also a women :)
I train hard in the gym and lift heavy. A lot of days I am really tired and I use pre workout to give me that extra boost. I stumbled across this article that goes over some of the top pre workouts in the supplement industry as of right now. I used 2 out of 3 of them from the article. I just want to hear your guys thoughts on them? Are you a female? Do use pre workout? Which ones are your favorite?
--Also, I just came from reddit. I would like to start a womens fitness commnuity here if possible...
I generally feel like supplements advertised as "women's xxxx" are just a marketing ploy. Your supplements can be the same as the supplements men take, as long as you are taking them correctly. Just my opinion really, but I have been using the same preworkouts as my male counterparts for some time with no issues.
I use preworkouts on and off since my tolerance builds fairly quickly. C4 was my old favorite but the beta alanine just got to be too much, it's very hard for me to focus on training when I'm itching constantly haha. It just tastes so good. Assault is pretty good with a nice flavor as well. There is a prewo called White Flood, it's a clean prewo with a decent flavor, but it's cheaper than both C4 and Assault.
I'm currently using GFuel link here. It's not advertised as a preworkout really, I think they consider it more of an "energy drink". It tastes great, no added sugar, gives me the energy to get through my training and I never crash from it. Feels like clean energy to me. It seems to get me through the day.
If it matters, I am into powerlifting and have been training for a few years.
