5 hour energy as a work out supplement?

[AlexLefty]

I've heard of people doing this, using half or 1/4 bottle of 5 hour energy as a workout supplement. Thoughts?

Also, what's the reasoning for not drink milk, and drinking almond or soy or something instead?

I've drank 5-Hour energies before my workout or maybe a little coffee to to wake me up and get focused. I don't like being tired and trying to train hard. I havent had any negative effects.. I guess you just dont want to be bouncing off the walls with energy and loose your form or try to over-due something.

As far as milk goes... Theres nothing wrong with drinking it. Some guys may choose soy or almond for personal preference, diet or health reasons.

I don't see any problem in taking the 5-hour shot preworkout or even during your workout just like other stimulants.

ya, i suppose it's mostly b-vitamins and would give you an energy boost.

Nothing wrong with taking a stimulant before a workout. The problem with 5 Hour Energy is that they are expensive. You would save a lot of money by opting for Crystal Light Energy packets or something similar.

You could save more by just buying caffeine tabs

Caffeine is has a five hour half-life, which is why this drink gives you five hours of energy. It's fine to use but you'd also do just as well to drink coffee.
