Can you take pre workout and fat burner together

Q: What should you not take with pre

Dont: Mix Creatine with Caffeine Caffeine is known to increase energy and athletic performance in the short term, while creatine has long-term benefits of increased strength, endurance, and lean body mass. Its obvious why, at the surface level, you would want both ingredients in a quality pre-workout product.

Q: Do you need pre

To summarize: If youre looking for something to support your body goals, then a Fat Burner supplement could be a good option. If youre simply looking to support your workouts, then a Pre Workout may suit you better. Remember, a supplement is not going to do the hard work for you.

Mixing Fat burners and Pre Workout
I've recently bought allmax rapidcuts fat burners and Pre workout and I was wondering if it's safe to take both.

I wouldn't take them at the exact same time if I were u. Both are typically loaded with stims, and if u take them both pre workout you will probably be throwing up in the parkinglot of ur gym. I work out in the evening, so I usually take a fat burner first thing in the morning, then a pre before my workouts at night. Space them out if u do.

Top post!
Also if you are new to working out I wouldnt even look at the fat burner... get your diet right and then start with supplements.. pre-workout ok if you really need the motivation to get into a gym

Thanks for starting the thread, Lambo, and for the reply, digler.
I had a similar question. Essentially, I plan on taking 3 different supplements: 1) LS7 (fat burner), 2) Purple Wraath (pre-workout), and 3) Myofusion (whey, post-workout and more than likely whey throughout the day as well).
I know on LS7, and probably most all other fat burners, the instructions say to take roughly 30 minutes prior to your workout. Is it still going to be beneficial to take a fat burner so early in the day? I definitely had the same concern about loading up with a fat burner and something like Purple Wraath around the same time so that makes sense.
Any ideas?

I personally wouldn't consider wraath to be a pre workout. Its more of an intra, and its not loaded with stims. This isn't the same as taking the ls7 and white flood at the same time. Two different products, and u would be fine with the PW and ls7. As far as taking the fat burner in the morning, that is typically what is recommended on most dosing instructions, so u are fine there too. More of a concern would be taking it late at night, as it could cause sleeplessness. Hope that helps.

Definitely helps, and makes sense.
Just re-read the label on the LS7, which states:
As a dietary supplement, take one serving (3 capsules) twice daily with a full glass of water, approximately 30 minutes before meals and/or exercise.
...so I guess prior to meals would mean that the morning is fine, before breakfast. Although, I'm still curious if you're losing any sort of added benefit by not taking a fat burner (LS7 in this case) prior to the workout. I suppose while using something like Purple Wraath during my workout, I'll be getting benefits from there as well, in addition to the morning stims.
Taking my whey post-workout (within 30 or so minutes) is still a fine choice, right? Or will that not sit very well with something like an intra-workout like PW?
Thanks once again for everything.

The fat burner is typically designed to suppress your appetite and give u energy for several hours. That is also why u split the dosage throughout the day, so it lasts the whole day. This usually helps u out when u are cutting because of the reduced caloric intake...keeps u from feeling wore out and starving all the time. I guess im just confused as to when it is u r working out, and why u don't think it will work for u. Its a fat burner, not a pre. As far as protein, there's nothing wrong with taking it post, and I typically do because I workout late...just before bed, so I don't get a chance to eat a full meal. Focus more on hitting ur protein mark for the day as opposed to trying to "time" it.

My schedule is something as follows:
- work from 7-3:30pm Monday - Friday
- workout from 3:45-4:45/5ish weekdays, weekends may vary
- definitely focused on hitting my protein intake daily, throwing in shakes and bars to make that happen.
Ideally, Ill start my morning with the LS7 (7am) followed by breakfast shortly after. I can either take the Purple Wraath throughout the day or during my workout around 4pm - not sure what would be more beneficial?
Post-workout will be the Myofusion and then dinner an hour or two after that.
Like I said, thats just a rough idea. Am I missing anything else?

Sounds good to me...that's probably what I would do. Use the PW during ur workouts...either the am session, pm session or both. No need to drink it throughout the day.

I've done my research , personally no need to take both since fat burners contain caffein which will work as a pre workout.

30 minutes apart is too soon for those. The pre-workout contains a couple stimulants, yohimbe being one which some do not tolerate well stacked with other stimulants. Between both, you are getting over 300mg of caffeine plus a decent dose of yohimbe.
I'd say if you workout in the morning, either stack your burner with a non-stim preworkout or take your fat burner a couple hours later.

I would save the Neurocore for another time. It isn't wise to mix stimulant products. Since preworkouts have other beneficial ingredients in them, I would get a nonstimulant preworkout.

^^^Both of these. Those are two high stimulant supplements.
I would take something like BodyForge 2.0, White Pump, Body Octane or Hemavol if taking a fat burner preworkout. That way you still get ergogenic benefits without overstimulation.

Help
I am new to suppliments but i planned to buy c4 as a preworkout then stack with creature powder creatine. Then take a protien shake like maybe whey or something like that. I am also debating on taking a fat burner like the ripper. Can anyone give me good stacks to take for pre workout and post workout and maybe a fat burner?

If the The Ripper has caffeine in it, I would get a nonstimulant preworkout such as Push20. It isn't wise to mix two stimulant products together. That may be too much caffeine for you.

will this work?
i work out every morning at 9am for 30-45 min. I get up at 8:30 I was hoping to take EVLUTION NUTRITION Lean mode capsules 3 when i get up & possible then take my per-workout ( Optimum Nutrition Gold standard pre-work out 1 scoop ) if i shouldn't take a per-workout that's fine but would like to know if their is any benefit to doing so with.
Post work out around 9:45-10 I always take 1 scoop Optimum Nutrition Gold standard Whey for my breakfast.
My goal is to loose weight and gain muscle mass im 5,11 and at 207lbs. I am dieting since i have read that is 80% of the battle & these things like lean mode play a small helpful role. I mainly eat steak, chicken,turkey, broc****, asparagus.

Lean mode is stim free so you should be fine. I like to take my fat burner in the morning, do some fasted cardio, then take the pre workout around 4 and hit the weights. It is too taxing to do weights and cardio in the same session for me. Either the cardio suffers or the strength does.

When should I take pre

The best time to take your fat burner is when you wake up, 30 minutes before breakfast or your morning workout. This is because your body's metabolism slows down when you're asleep. Taking your fat burner first thing in the morning will act as a kick start to your day, allowing you to complete a more intense workout.

Is pre

Fat Burners will give the user a longer lasting energy than a standard pre workout. The ingredients used in Fat Burners will differ and are generally designed for that increased feeling of energy for longer periods of time.

What should you not take with pre

Don't: Mix Creatine with Caffeine Caffeine is known to increase energy and athletic performance in the short term, while creatine has long-term benefits of increased strength, endurance, and lean body mass. It's obvious why, at the surface level, you would want both ingredients in a quality pre-workout product.

Do you need pre

To summarize: If you're looking for something to support your body goals, then a 'Fat Burner' supplement could be a good option. If you're simply looking to support your workouts, then a 'Pre Workout' may suit you better. Remember, a supplement is not going to do the hard work for you.
