It def depends, will say those who have ADHD, those negative health factors such as poor sleep can be resolved by stimulant meds. I have maintenance insomnia and take meds at abt 4am and sleep few more hrs

[jadencole]

I think having a pre workout isn’t just for endurance and energy or that initial extra pump . It’s sometimes about the extra benefits on your muscles when lifting.

[derekjeffries]

60 years ago people were chugging more coffee right along with their Benzedrine

[jackhubert]

I lift four days a week. I’ll have 1 Zyn on my off day. So about 3-4 zyns a week. No coffee. Caffeinated tea is my substitute.

How does this topic apply to people like myself who take ADHD medication daily?

[rileyroberts]

I would say I "abuse" caffeine and I fall asleep within minutes on 8 every night if not 9 and I wake up at 5 to go
To the gym every morning, maybe that's just training my body to do that but If your smart about when you take caffeine then it won't be a problem

I go on 6 hour bike rides when I take adhd meds

[SolitarySoldier]

Thoughts on escalating density training for athletes? How often in offseason? Can i use squat and deadlift as well as bench press and some sort of rowing?

[Legendman]

I take adderall for my adhd meds does that kill my gains ?

[MasterOne-pf]

The bottom line is you can train at levels not achievable without stimulants. Look at just a few of the tests conducted on starving prisoners of war. You can grow lots of muscle on stimulants.

How does it affect distance running? Does the vasoconstriction cause decreased performance?

[MyLessonsTV]

So, yeah, people with ADHD. High anxiety and self-medicating, with massive amounts of caffeine and carbohydrates. not to mention self-medicating with booze to get sleep. Maybe what I need most of all is to just get my grind and go monk mode leaving all that crap behind.

Three dates or 2 banana before workout try this.
I never took these stupid stimulant before workout.. natural sources like dates and banana are the best prr workout you can have
