nahanshew89 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 2 Red Bulls, 1 Mega Monster, 2 bumps of cocaine and a big old bowl of meth before a match. Really gets me going. Just kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 artificial sweeteners are horrible for your body. I was a Diet Coke junkie as well and it sucked to quit cold turkey but it was the best way to do it. Hi, my name's Jack, and I'm 72 days without a diet Coke ... :bow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtturn Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I snort some adderall before every match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunBugBit Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 ...Diet Coke... Something about the sweetener in that stuff makes me feel very bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradsteimel Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I'd recommend Vitamix smoothie. You can pack in lots veggies, protein powder, and supplements... and if you add enough fruits, yogurt, and some OJ it's actually quite sweet and tasty. Granted it looks like barf, but is really filling with healthy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrconst Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 V8 Fusion Energy. Diet or regular. No crazy buzz or crash. Best I've tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen_grasshopper Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) I drink coffee before the match and Monster Ultra through out the match, probably a 2 or 3 cans. I generally work the night shift, and consume ridiculous amounts of caffeine on a daily basis, so it doesn't give me the jitters.

GunBugBit Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I find Rockstar Pure Zero gives me a good 3 or 4 hour boost in alertness and energy with no harsh side effects. Zero calories. Tastes pretty good, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOThompson Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I stay away from caffeine. I am jittery and anxious enough. I find that most supplements and energy drinks have a hard crash anyways for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muldune21 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Depends what you are use to. Do you normally drink energy drinks? I would keep the same routine as usual. I wake up and exercise early and then drink a energy drink on the way in to work. I find that doing that before matches keeps everything the same and nothing new. If you are not use to energy drinks i would avoid them before a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff22 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Complete Nutrition now makes a Coffee Flavored protein powder called "Maine Roast". There is the original coffee flavor and a new mocha flavor. You can mix it with water or milk or even cold coffee. (I find a half and half mix of 2% milk and coffee works pretty good) It's often cheaper if you buy it from amazon.com instead of Complete Nutrition.

rritchie82 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Amino energy or Branch Chain Aminos are good energy sources. Plus they will help preserve your protein so your muscles don’t fatigue as quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJD Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I usually take a B12 supplement and pack keto energy powder in my shooting bag. High energy trail mix helps too. Hydration is key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be better off with some complex carbohydrates. A small serving of eggs and some toast would be a quick and easy option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maynoal Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I think all sorts of stimulants are not what, for me personally, shooting is a stimulant) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dontkillbill Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I need my caffeine. Up in Canada I usually try to get a Tim Hortons coffee and thermos up for a match. Coffee even on a hot day. Sometimes coffee is a no go then its diet Redbull mixed with Gatoraide G-Zero. Not sure if I shoot better but I "people" much better with some caffeine in my system.

NOSHMJ Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Redbul and vitamin B12 before a match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hello0o0o0o Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Been throwing this around with my buddy for awhile. I'm not confident with my routine yet. Usually match morning I have a tiny amount of coffee, then during the match it's a lot of water and a gatorade. The part I'm unsure about is a redbull, which I'll have around stage 1-3. Without a doubt, I can feel a difference once the redbull is down. Sometimes I'm more focused, and sometimes I'm mentally foggy. The major issue for me, is being out in the Florida sun for 5 hours. Also I'm sprinting like I mean it. I often find that the last two stages I am physically exhausted, which is why I've been doing the redbull. This is obviously not the right way to solve this problem. Physical health and maintenance at the match is something that I need to work on... giant sun hat, fan, or umbrella, and little chair.
