Okay so this isn't exactly the type of pre workout you may be thinking of, but I've really not seen any threads about this and frankly I'm just wanting to hear some opinions. So what is this 'World's greatest pre-workout' I speak of?

Adderall, ladies and gentlemen...

Before I get chewed up over this, I want to include a little disclaimer. TAKING ADDERALL BEFORE YOU WORK OUT IS PROBABLY NOT SAFE AND I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT. Now read that three more times so I don't get held accountable for anyone getting smote by a heart attack on their last set of squats.

Moving on...

A STORY
-So I was prescribed Adderall IR a short time ago for ADD and have to say that I was very impressed with its effectiveness. It was almost as if a fog had been lifted. For lack of a better analogy, it was like my brain was on steroids. Now anyone who has ever taken Adderall will agree with me that there is another benefit...A potential "performance enhancing" benefit in the form of ungodly energy and stamina. To put things into perspective, this drug gave me an iron will to complete whatever task I assigned myself. This got me thinking...what if I assigned myself the task of blasting the absolute shit out of my next workout...So what did I do? I popped a couple of those babies and put that theory to the test...

boy oh boy...

...What followed could hardly be classified as a workout and more appropriately deemed a "muscular genocide" of sorts. My body still resents me for what I put it through that day. Did I go a little too hard? HELL YES. Did I give a fuck? HELL NO.

A DIALOGUE
...One of my buddies approaches me during a set of military presses that day...

Buddy: "Sup man! When are you done? Want to grab some lunch aft----"

Me: dripping sweat "Can't chat now man."

Buddy: "No prob dude, but wh----"

Me: "I SAID FUCK OFF AND LET ME FINISH."

...True story. I later apologized and we both laughed it off.

THE BOTTOM LINE
The bottom line is that Adderall is some serious shit. My body had no say on how hard I went that day. I set my mind on putting every ounce of energy that I had into that workout and my body was forced to obey. The age-old saying "mind over matter" suddenly made perfect sense to me that day all thanks to this drug.

So to wrap things up, I do NOT recommend using Adderall as a pre-workout and this thread is not in ANY way meant to serve as a recommendation to try this. I just wanted to post my experience and welcome others to chime in if they have had a similar experience or just wish to share their thoughts on this topic.

P.S. I haven't tried this again since due to the physical agony I experienced in the days that followed which ultimately led to a 3 day absence from any sort of physical activity.

Anyways...

-Cheers
