Hey Fitz, I have heard a lot lately about pre-workout and workout pills. What is your opinion of these types of supplements? Jake<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Thanks for asking Jake. My answer is this. THOSE PILLS ARE CRAP! GARBAGE! TRASH! SNAKE OIL! People don&#8217;t need pills to work out. Pre-workout. Post-workout. Whatever. People need to eat a well balanced diet full of fruits, veggies, lean proteins, calcium and water. For the general population, I think a daily multi-vitamin is a nice insurance policy. Just in case for example, one doesn&#8217;t consume a full dose of vitamin C for the day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pre-workout pill&#8221; sounds like a useless product for the consumer and a great way for greedy jerks to take money from\u00a0the hopeful and desperate.
