drink during workout?

is there anything I could drink during my workouts that will keep me going? I really do not wanna buy a supplement for this

corporation pop always does it for me!

I stopped buying pre workout supps a while ago because all they ever tend to contain, is caffeine, and maybe taurine, and it is a hell of a lot cheaper to buy these things seperately!

Try having taurine in your pre workout shake (you can buy it dirt cheap from myprotein), and have a drink containing caffeine during your workouts... Lucazade sport do a caffeine plus. I use this during every session and I think it works great.

Hope this helps.

black coffee before then water, if you do decided to buy a supp i would reccomend NO explode 1 scoop in water gives you a kick up the arse and as soon as the first set is over i tend to wake up a bit

Not sure about the coffee as it's a big no no nutrition wise, but energy drinks like locozade sport are okay. I've also heard a lot of feedback about Disco500's supp reccomendation. Either way, it's important to keep hydrated.

Out of curiosity, why coffee is a "no no"?

I used to drink red kick whilst training, but now I just make sure I get into the session ahead with a decent lowish weight high rep warm-up set, I'm then ready to go....just water throughout, save money for PWO supp IMO!

Council pop would do it mate. lol

fizzy drinks are bad pre or during ,keep one till after workout suger gets the insulin going mate (love the iron bru and whey after mine lol ) ,during work out water is my full but have a whey shake before i go in , thats all anyone needs but am sure lucazade do still drinks this might be what you'r looking for if ur doing lots or cardio

or=  off lol

Green tea before cardio, then weights and just drink 2litres of water while training

At the minute I'm drinking a whey and Palatinose mix thoughout my workout, seems to keep me going

Council Pop = Water. LOL

2 litres is a bit ott for just during trainin mate better spreading it out over the whole day. Drink around a litre myself when training anymore would  be borderline for being bloated etc i find..

black coffee before then water

^ This. I also can't understand why coffee would be regarded as a 'no-no'.

I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel. I focus on the pain, the only thing that's real. Trent Reznor- Nine Inch Nails.

Coffee is good for you before a workout also has been proven to reduce DOMS...

Coffee is bad nutrition wise because although it stimulates you at first, it actually overworks the adrenal glands, making you feel more tired after you have had your "hit".

Coffee also reduces the absorption of minerals in your body - compromising your immune system. As a general alternative to coffee i'd stick to green tea without a doubt - though i'm not sure about its use pre-workout.

reflex whey refresh is good to drink during a strength wrkout..would'nt recommend it for conditioning routines or cardio tho..makes me want to barff..£1.99 a bottle from tropicana usually lasts me 2/3 wrkouts..

Very dilute whey and palatinose is a good way to go.

10-15g protein and 15-30g of CHO per hour depending upon goals/work density, this is a popular formula in elite sport .

I have always used a pre-work out drink be it caffeine or Nos pump, type drink and i have used most on the market now.
And i have two favs,
 (USN No voltage) and i would use MP CEE tabs with this one at a dose of three with the drink 1/2 before your work out.

Muscle tech Vapour is one of the best i have used yet.

As said i have used lots pre-work out supps all the way from GABBA to Ephs. And will give most things a spin once, but i have narrowed to the two above.
