ALA Pre Workout?

[Spyder550]

Is it good to use ALA preworkout, how long before, and how many mgs?

I wouldn't use it unless you also eat before your workout - I get bad heartburn if I don't eat right after I take ALA, and then I feel drained and REALLY hungry if I let myself stay like that...

I have th exact same experience dead on....

I am thinking just ala post workout, and with other post workout meals during the evening

not before

Here is what you do. I am now doing it EVERY workout and NEVER
have any heartburn. About 20 minutes before I go to the gym, I
drink a carbo- force and 1200 to 1500mg's of ALA. The reason I
take it in about 20 minutes is because I also do a 10 minute
cardio pre-workout so I like to have a high blood concentration
at about 1/2 an hour later. If you do get the heartburn, just start
drinking some water. I was skeptical about hitting pre-workout
until Rangerx turned me onto it. Do it this way, you WON'T be
sorry.

I personally would not use it as a pre-workout supp.. I've tried it on several occassions, and everytime I feel really weak. I would think it might be okif you were going to use it for cardio though.

I took 300mg pre workout today with a small meal. The pump I got at the gym today was unbelievable. I didn't feel weak, but did have minor heartburn.

I would think that 300-500mg of ALA taken with a medium carb meal wouldn't cause too much lethargy before a workout. This is speaking from my own experience. I don't think I would go about 500mg pre-workout because I do tend to get tired easier.

I take 1500mg half an hour to 45 minutes before a workout, together with 2 carbo-force drinks which equals 218 g carbs.

I may initially feel a little tired, but as soon as I hit the iron, I become extremely alert, the headache, and dizziness are gone, and I get to stare at my incredible pumps in the mirror

If I wait longer than 45 minutes after taking ALA, before hitting the iron, I end up hitting the pillow instead. You just have to time it right.

Oh and yes I get a little heartburn, but I've gotten used to it, and seems to disappear pretty quickly...
