Green Mag - During Workouts?

Hellooo
 
I have been using SizeOn for th epast month - its good and allows an extra couple of reps.
 
However, I now am looking to switch to green mag as results have plateud, can anyone tell me if it is cool to drink green mag during workouts? Label states to drink pre or post, but I usually take a pre wo nox product before working out and like the idea of drinking during.
 
Help is appreciated.

During workout should be fine mate, but you could take green mag 20/30mins pre wo then take your nox 10/15 mins pre wo.

Green mag's good stuff, let us know how you get on with it mate. Good luck.

haha I knew you'd be in there with an answer as soon as pre-workuot supps+Green Mag were muttered in the same breath Ice mate!!

You know me only too well

Ice a mate of mine got a tub of green mag and a tub of no shotgun v3.

Took the pair of them 30 mins before training and he said it gave him the best pumps he has ever had and could knock out more reps than before at same weights.

Guess the question of if you can take green mag with a pre workout supp has been answered for me.

Cheers fella's - will keep you up to date!

Ice, where do you order yours mate?

Yeah good idea mate, both could be mixed pre wo, but the taste will be random, i would try mixing them and see what it tastes like, would be handier taking one drink rather than two pre wo, up to Mr lover.

Muscle finness mate with their 10% tuesdays dude is a good place to start.

Either them or bodybuildingwarehouse. Nothing but top service from both.

I havent used it for ages mate i got it real cheap too, sound suggestions by steve though especially MF 10% tues.

Ive just ordered some Green Mag from Predator (cost £36 in total) to coincide with the extreme nox pump I should receive tomorrow.  I havent used creatine for months and pre-workout supplementation for 3 weeks (I know they have creatine in them, but you get the point) - im missing its effects, placebo or not.

Ive bought it purely on the strength of the reviews and its cost per serving value and im really looking forward to stacking the two together.  Really really.

ice - you sure youre not a controlled labs representative lad? Haha.

For the first week im going to try it after straight after a workout, and see if it will help that strength (thats all I want it for) as i'll leave the rest to the nox pump.

Oh yeah lemonade flavour is abit nicer than sour apple just thought i would let you know mate, but both are nice, but sour apple may not be to some peoples liking but no mistakes with lemonade flavour.

Is it just me or do you get funny tasting saliva after drinking it ? Always have the taste in my mouth of the sour apple for hours after ive drank it lol

Personally i quite like the taste but im strange like that!

lol cant remember tbh having drank it in agesss mate, dont think i did, the sour apple is nice imo its weird and unique thats why i like it.

As said would probably be fine to take during workout, although best to follow instructions, take it around 20mins before workout would be best tho imo.

I used to just mix the Green Mag into my pre-wo supp, you will barely taste it because you're just using one scoop of Green Mag whereas the chances are you're probably using 2-3 scoops of whatever pre-wo supp you're using. Works fine mate!

Whatever works best from you from a covience perspective. Will the creatine you ingest DURING your workout impact performance, hell no, it actually wont get into your blood after ingesting for 30-40 mins. This is what the researchers call LAG time. Once it gets into the blood it then need to be absorbed by the muscle and phosphorylated. Simply put, the creatine you ingest during your workout can not be used to increase performance. Creatine's effects are accumulative and only until muscle creatine levels reach a certain point will they start to impact performance.

Having said all that, from a muscle UPTAKE perspective taking creatine around one's workout is a good thing! And if its convienient for you, take it whenever, as long as it doesn't cause any GI distress during your workout.

Yeah that's true but I believe the reason you're recommended to take Green MAG pre-wo is because it contains Taurine and L-Tyrosine, which give you an energy boost. But obviously this is a moot point if the OP is taking a pre-wo supp that will contain these ingredients (and many more) anyway

Yes, agreed but he's stating taking it during training. Again no harm, just want people to be clear that the serving of creatine they ingest during their workout will not impact performance. For some reason, alot of people seem to think it will.

There's very few things that actually have either acute effects or work synergisticly with exercise. High levels of amino-acids in the blood during workouts, from a protein synthesis perspective and improved recovery, are the most beneficial ingredeints to bring in. If workouts last 1-1.5hours or greater or training in a fasted states, intraWO carbs will delay fatigue. Other than that and electrolytes, not much else intraWO is going to make a difference.

Is green mag water stable? I took a course of green mag and thought it was a sound product. I stacked it with maniac pre-workout.

The reason you can take SizeON during your WO is that its water stable so will survive in the shaker whilst you sip it. Not sure green mag is the same so I would recommend taking it 20 mins before in one hit.
