How do you get ready for the gym?

[DK0223]

What's your routine or ritual if you will, or do you just get up off the couch and head out the door? Thought itd be fun to hear what others do. I usually like to have some sort of pre w/o drink a half hour before the gym or some coffee maybe, but I think it's more of a routine since I don't benefit all that much from it lol. I know some like to watch workout videos or listen to music...so what do YOU do?

Never gave it much thought. I just go there and train. I have some coffee usually, for the ride in. That's about it

Takes me about 30 minutes, true story.

Well I'm actually about to head out to the gym. My ritual is pre workout while reading PM, lol honestly this is true. Then I typically save my better music on my ipod for the gym itself and listen to the radio on the way in.

Make sure I don't have to make poops then roll out , cuss General population for being useless no driving maggots then workout

 

[nothuman]

have my preworkout whey + oats. Then sometimes a pre workout supp if I have time and I don't train too late. On back day, I bring wrist straps.

I usually beat off then take a huge hit of weed. Maybe some stretches too, if time allows.

I train in the AM with only EAAs/BCAAs and a pre-workout in my system (need some caffeine at 4:30AM).

Wake-up, drop a deuce, drink my pre-workout mix including EAAs and BCAAs, double check my gym bag for everything (chalk, belt, logbook, wraps, intra-workout and ipod).

I write my workout down the night before and prepare my pre-workout mix, intra-workout mix and post-workout shake/food and have everything ready when I get up and for when I am done so I don't waste time getting to work.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I actually do smoke a little before I workout but not enough to be too far gone. Been doing this more than 10 years. I also drink some coffee compared to when I was younger and could tolerate ECAs and stronger pre workout supplements. But most importantly I eat or drink a protein source (eggs, chicken, fish, whey, creating, glut amine) and have a semi quick carb. I usually aim for more carbs than protein unless I'm trying to lose weight. I never train on an empty stomach. Then I put my gym clothes on then hit the home gym or gym down the street. Once I get there I warm up for 5-10 and then start doing weights.

I eat some grits n eggs then pop 15mg of Adderall, then on the way I drift the roundabout next to my gym almost every day (unless the local PD is sitting there or I'm driving the G because tires are expensive as fuck) Gets my adrenaline pumping a bit. I'm at the gym within an hour of getting off work also. When I go in there I tear that mother down! This is the roundabout I'm talking about. Happened to be driving the G that day, but I had a fresh set of rubber to put on the rear so I didn't care.

When I used to have fatboy offseasons, I'd go to this bakery across the street from my gym, and have moon pies and nutella cupcakes before arm day. Never on leg day though, my leg day ritual is a coffee and a shit.

 

[RichDC2]

wake up,hgh, some water, go right to cardio 50 min at the moment ,put on ipod listen to music or watch vids while on ipad, go on forums. Have meal 1, make post workout drink, check gym bag for all accessories, change, charge ipod, blast a stack. Have pre wo drink. On the way to the gym mentally prepare the order of workout as well as what poundages or reps I need to hit that day. Put the ipod back on and go to work.

Eat a small meal 1 hr before. Usually something like a banana and oatmeal or a protein bar. Pre-workout drink 30 min before workout and idk why I continue to do this but I splash water in my face at the sink before I leave my house. Get in my car and throw on some hard rock from the local rock station.
