Re: energy drinks
Sometimes I use RedBull if I'm tired before a workout. It seems to work good.

Re: energy drinks
If you need anything take a caffeine pill and don't do it on a regular basis.
Stay away from energy drinks. Red Bull has loads of sucrose and glucose and the one that is unsweetened contains Aspartame. Stay away.

Cytomax, Accelerade, Carbo-Pro are all very good products. [/ QUOTE ] All these drinks are, are some kind of combination of fructose, sucrose, malodextrin, dextrose. In no way do these make up a proper pre-workout meal. They also defy the proper ratio for a post workout shake. In short, no they are not good products.

Re: energy drinks
I'm dropping them when I go on my bulk. If I need an energy boost before workout, I'll just use a pill. How do you guys feel about EAS Termogenic that is part green tea extract and part caffeine?

Re: energy drinks
I have to agree with caffiene pills other than energy drinks because energy drinks are full of sugar and/or aspartame so i'd agree with "stay away."

Re: energy drinks
yeah - ive heard that for a typical BB'ers cardio session drinking energy drinks is counter productive to the calories we are trying to burn (to a certain extent - as they will be 'burned' too).. so I jusr go for water and do my usual PWO
Red Bull is very high in all the usual things these drinks contain. The issue of a high level of Taurine was a topic of debate for some time when they first came out - but there are other Guarana based versions like 'V' etc. Caffeine makes me need to urinate alot and conflicts with creatine a little anyways so I stopped with the Red Bulls after a while... Hope this helps
