I Gave Gym Bros FAKE Pre Workout

[Music] this is a top selling pre-workout with 175 migs of caffeine beta alanine creatine and a ton of other ingredients that promise a better workout and this is just zero sugar Skittle mix I have four strangers and four cffs some have pre-workout some don't we're going to put them through a series of tests to see if they can tell the difference all right ladies come grab a drink Shake It Up put a straw in you just don't want to take three don't take three or two anyone nervous we'll see we'll see see how it feel

after I'm worried about what the what the fourth one's going to be if it's not pre-workout tastes good what are you experiencing laundry detergent laundry detergent yeah that sounds like pre-workout delightful anyone feeling suspicious right now I am always always supicious I think the bait all already hit actually yeah this is definitely pre-workout definitely 100% 100% without a doubt you might look stupid last year the Pre-Workout Market was a 20 billion industry and is growing at a rapid rate but what is all this money really getting us do our gains depend on pre-workout and more

importantly does it even work the way we're told time to find [Music] out okay so they think only one of them is fake but in reality two of them are fake keeping them on their toes and you can never gas light enough you know let's go I think I got some pre-workout too okay could be Kool-Aid could be pre-workout yeah exactly taste fruity I don't know yeah do you think you have pre-workout yeah you can't open it I do so all you three think do you think you have pre-workout my answer is based on other

reasons though oh most pre-workouts take about 15 minutes to kick in so we're giving our contestants a moment to relax and wait let's see if they start feeling that energy boost soon all right guys it's been like 15 minutes are we experiencing anything B alanine tingles your face is kind of red I'm cold you're cold you're cold are you feeling anything cuz you you for sure took the Pre-Workout it might be a dud I don't know like I'm I feel I feel cracked but I don't feel any tingles like there there's nothing besides that yeah

my heart's going but I don't really feel any tingles your heart's going yeah I have no heart going but I feel the tingles I got the heart rate now 126 126 okay did you give me Jack 3D tell feeling for my preh hitting is pretty much just energy like feeling locked in in my workout not getting distracted talking to people at the gym and also a little bit of tingles helps you notice that it's working oh his hands are going look at his hands I love that oh my God what okay so he definitely has

pre-workout or we need to take you to the hospital right nowly [ __ ] either one I just my heart can't stop pumping I think I kicked in now yeah right just now oh [ __ ] his hands are going down too let's see yours yeah I got the D I got the D got the D I think it's pretty clear that they're all completely confused about what was in their cup one guy's already going back and forth second guessing what he just took tast it exactly like pre though that's the thing pre-workout promises four

things strength pump focus and endurance each challenge will test one of those claims and they'll have no idea what the real purpose of the challenge is challenge number one we're going to see how much you guys can bench for five ws simple as that W your first let's go let's do it Mr no pre workout I don't know the face is kind of red it is and you're breathing like you took pre-workout so 225 would this be a good weight for you yeah you be happy if you got this no it's easy it's easy I

do this on a regular you do this on a regular yep okay one two three come on four lightweight five there you go on the regular that's questionable easier than normal harder than normal what are you feeling um I'd say easier easier than normal yeah I think that is that saying something to you guys you guys getting some data from here interesting man are you confused now I'm really confused yeah and and he like had some issue with the racket I know you're kind yeah oh maybe he got the free huh who knows get out

of here who's next okay all right 19 190 loaded up is this a good weight for you or like would you be happy if you got that yeah yeah the T tail sign for me definitely the sweaty pits here when I get the caffeine the beta alanine probably just makes me feel like I got fire ants in me okay look at that armpit sweat that's pre-workout s we started a work [Music] easy guys that's Muny there it is feel good easier than usual easier somebody got that pre yeah I guess we'll see all right Colin

I got to beat him let's do 230 230 230 oh man it's going fast one yeah oh that's easy nice come on 3 four let's go come on let's go let's go there we go nice damn I don't know if you would have had that one if you didn't take pre-workout maybe not that was a close call I don't think I've done that for five in a while I think we've just had three people take pre-workout in a row you're next man we'll find it all right all right what way we want here uh I

guess we just go 135 135 okay the biggest difference pre-workout makes for me is it helps with my performance in the gym helps me get out of my fatigue after work and just helps me push some heavy ass weight when I need to all right all right come on 135 easy five reps let's go we unrack that like it was like a rag doll man one oh that's easy two nice come on three 4 you could went for 10 I could have went more yeah how' that feel that was pretty good that was better than

better than normal yeah yeah for sure okay [ __ ] I'm the weakest one here oh man inconclusive okay for challenge one we were testing strength one of the things that pre-workout promises so after doing that how do you feel do you feel like stronger than normal do you feel like you would have been that without the Pre-Workout where's your head at I feel like I could have done 175 I feel cracked out right now really yeah you feel cracked out yeah what about I feel kind of normal like you feel nor I always take

pre but yeah feels like a normal day with PR so it feels like a normal day with pre yeah okay feels normal but I could have done more which is which is abnormal that's abnormal yeah so okay and then you yeah I feel like I could have did three plates I'm feeling on top of the world damn so I'm feeling good so what's every what's everyone like kind of confused right now kind of concerned right now cuz I mean you have taking like a it's a pretty like it's a heap scoop we're not doing level

Scoops here it's a heap scoop fast scoop okay yeah everyone keeps on checking heart damn okay yeah I'm going I'm SAR once each round is complete I asked all of them to guess whether or not they have the pre or the fake [Music] [Music] I definitely think I got this there was a certain uh chalkiness to the drink which is uh always happens with pre-workouts and I also feel like I'm back to normal Baseline energy wake up in the morning no caffeine feel kind of groggy but now I kind of feel like myself so I

definitely think this is the answer I think I got pre-work I'm extremely cracked out I got the Jitters my strength feels incredible right now and I got a I got a decent pump off one set I think I have the Pre-Workout cuz I usually work out in the afternoon and it's still morning here have a lot more energy than I usually have in the morning right now everyone is convinced they took pre-workout making two people just flat out wrong it's even left this guy speechless he's just so pumped he doesn't even know what to say

challenge number two is going to be a continuous arm circuit non-stop for 4 minutes pick a station all right is everyone ready y time starts in three 2 1 [Music] go oh it's light work are you connecting with the muscle more than usual right now I'd say so yeah you say so yeah okay that's a good sign you it's only 10 reps right oh yeah he wants to do more want that I I dude I think you have the biggest scooper Cree right now I think I do is the pump coming quick oh yeah yeah

beautiful okay you're only one minute in are you ready to explode yes yeah I'm ready to explode all over you will everyone looks like so mean right now I don't want to watch anyone everyone looks like so in the zone L Wait Almost minute and a half in right now look at these veins holy [ __ ] the biggest difference pre-workout makes for me is definitely getting my butt to the actual gym having enough Focus not getting distracted by my phone and especially that juicy pump at the end cuz what do you go to the

gym for if you're not just trying to get a juicy pump wow it's thick oh look at that quinton's in the zone right now damn it's aw quiet in here 30 seconds guys B oh yeah yeah I don't want to hit arms that's a power lifter for you 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 time woo I see some pretty Juicy Boys here it's getting hot in here D I got some free yeah all right let's Circle up we were testing pump in that challenge obviously as you could probably tell was that

a pump you'd expect from pre-workout would you say it overe exceeded my expectations it OV exceeded your expect I feel so full right now yeah I haven't felt this way in a while I mean my forearms aren't as pumped as this morning when I woke up but uh they never they're getting there they're getting there like I mean your arms look quite a they are Jesus would you is that a pump that you expect yeah I think it's better just cuz Okay intensity is up I think uh my pump's pretty mid to be honest pretty

mid yeah I'd say uh not as good as usual you weren't going that hard though I was going hard in the paint you I was going hard yeah you I mean I don't hit arms like that often so it could just be a pump from actually working them out but the veins are protruding pretty early feels like it's going so like are you guys overall happy with your pumps right now 100% 100% 100% happy yeah happy y so so so so so so I think I got the Pre-Workout a little bit of tingles along the

way is considering I don't hit arms that was a pretty good pump and more weight than I've done in a long time I definitely got some pre-workout I have insane pump right now I feel strong and my energy is through the roof still going to go with this one reasoning feel kind of the same pumps good pumps I think more than usual if you don't have some kind of stem product and uh terms of energy still there but kind of leveling off honestly I think I had no pre-workout because I felt energy at first but

as the the workout went on it kind of died down and of course the pump was subpar so I'm saying no pre-workout everyone apparently had a great pump except for Raph but he definitely doesn't seem too confident in his answer are you connecting with the muscle more than usual right now I'd say so yeah Challenge three we're doing pause squats on my count so when I say down you go down and you stay down until I say up and we're just going to go until until I feel like it okay let's go all right ready

all right unrack [Music] down up down up down up Rock okay how'd you feel great you felt great okay good set you guys good set how' you feel good pretty pretty light pretty light pretty light yeah what was going on like what were you like visualizing in that moment like during that setup were you pretty locked in I was locked in yeah yeah more than normal man that's a tough one I'd say same same honestly same as normal okay and do you normally take free workk workout yeah always so I mean you said it on

me what about you more dial than the normal or yeah that's warm-up weight for me but yeah yeah I was pretty focused and pretty locked in so all right all right guys Quinton CH Co ready sexy boys yes oh yeah all right unrack down up down up down up getting deep Bro holy [ __ ] got to go ass to Grass baby come on [Music] down up it's beautiful weather down up rck woo I think that was a slightly harder round there good job man thank you good job thoughts what's going on through your head

what was going on during the set I thought it was going to be worse that was going to be worse yeah okay that's that's a good sign yeah yeah did you feel pretty locked in yeah yeah those were deep squats dude yeah I'm proud of you thank you thank you holy [ __ ] yeah know I felt locked in there I felt way too late felt I swear I just gave you pre there's nothing else in it nothing no you sure yeah 100% my nose is little yeah yeah all right let's Circle up another thing

that pre-workout promises is focus so that's what we were just testing did you guys feel more focused than normal yeah I'd say I got into a good Rhythm honestly you're all over the place now literally I felt focused as hell I was locked in yeah and your cues I don't know something about them and just they made me get it up I feel like I could have Liv 500 lb yeah I feel like all my poor life choices were flashing before my eyes while you're on your phone yeah yeah pretty locked in yeah it's just

warmup weight but okay we get it man all right guys so back to the Whiteboard for you let's do it [Music] yeah all right I definitely got pre-workout definitely got it energy through the roof my endurance is crazy my focus is locked in and pump's crazy so it's nothing thing so honestly at the start it was kind of a placebo and I was like okay I have energy but after it was like you know I was focused but I'm always focused I'm focused in life honestly the pump was super mid which is not something that

you expect at a pre-workout you expect it to be good the pump but the pump wasn't good so no pre-workout leg days is usually pretty miserable even on pre-workouts so the fact that that was pretty easy we got to be taking pre today I think I have the Pre-Workout I was very focused and I still feel a little bit of energy and I got a good pump on that arm workout so that's why I think I have the pre Challenge number four is be a little cardio circuit we're going to do 15 calories on the

assault bike and the right when you're done you're going to run over to the sled and going to take it all the way there and then pull it all the way back through time okay fun but before we do that who took the fake like like what do you guys think right now who has the fake it's got to be him you it has to everyone else is cracked you guys are all like equally you think that yeah yeah okay who's going to go first you're one first yeah yeah you're going first as hard as

you can man I'm going to push it to the Limit 3 2 1 go come on go go this is the pre-work up man come on okay let's go all the way there and then back all right and pull back all right how you feel I feel good made it look easy I don't know to with this guy like endurance wise you felt good yeah I mean like it's not preg good yeah it's regular good regular good would you even know what regular feels like anymore like when's the last time you went to the gym

without pre-workout so The Telltale feeling that I get is definitely my heart rate goes through the roof and like after I do my first set like my heart rate's super high but yeah it's just definitely a Telltale feel okay you feel good about that answer you want to try again sorry do you feel good about how you answer that what are you going do like unsure sh let's do it one more time who's next okay so okay let's go let's go play Let's Go 3 2 1 let's go let's go come on let's go yeah

two calories down five calories come on let's go Pi it up Pi it up it up one more calorie there it is oh F [Music] [ __ ] let's go pull back time feel good oh gas yeah endurance is good it's it was all right it's all oh this is the first time I've seen you kind of not feeling like you're on Trend no that assault bug took it out of me any doubts now you like waffling sides I don't know if I'm offing but I feel like it's worn off now yeah or you didn't

take it at all or I didn't take it yeah 3 2 1 go yeah woo come on little X Games mode right there Dismount don't hurt yourself let's go let let's go let's go time how was the endurance on that better performance on it than I thought but yeah has the pre worn off for you at all feel like we're at like a a plateau but Plateau is higher than normal just like my heart rate so the plateau's higher than normal but the heart rate's higher than normal so what what what's that even mean means

you took the pre that means you took the pre yeah yeah that's what it mean all right Colin oh 3 2 one go let's go okay those are some good loss man the heart rate says 163 what let's go look like you're going for a little like boy ride dude come on let's go [Music] there it is woo this guy's pushed and pulled a few [Music] sleds time you guys your breath gotten back you don't feel like you're out of breath you feel good has your has your pre tapered off at all if you took

pre uh a little bit but yeah you still feel it I think I'm still on pre yeah so why do you feel like yours died off I like you ask me usually I'm really good at Cardio I'll do like 30 hour on the St on the stair Master every day yeah and that that gas that killed me oh my God okay after the final round I got all of them to make their guess together is everyone feeling 100% confident 95 R you're 100% confident 100% 100% okay 110 actually everyone has their answers written down okay

so there was a Twist oh two of you guys took just sugar-free Skittle powder and then two of you actually took pre-workout want please step forward Skittles what cup were you three three that's what you picked so you picked pre-workout you didn't have pre-workout damn are you surprised a little bit Yeah so is that does that shock you or you like now looking back on it like how does it make you feel maybe I just had a good day okay rap it was finally time to see what Raph had to say to be honest nobody

was entirely sure where his head's at at this point he was going back and forth contradicting himself the entire video this is definitely pre-workout definitely 100% 100% without a doubt you might look stupid yeah it might be a dud I don't know are you connecting with the muscle more than usual right now I'd say so so yeah you say so all right so concluded no pre-workout and what cup were you I was number one you are correct no pre-workout let's go let's go and me the rest of you guys let's see what you picked free

you guys took free workout I I can't say that you were 100% confident the entire time cuz you were like I think everyone was saying w w you an emotional roller coaster I think a little bit so 110% my ass man 110% my ass 110% by the end though by the by The End by the beginning beginning was like 50/50 okay so does this change any of your opinions on pre-workout yeah yeah you I think I just got to invest in Jack at this point cuz I wasn't even hidden at any point where you guys

in doubt what you guys were taking I was in doubt some a little bit but I was in doubt the whole thing yeah the whole thing you're in doubt the whole time the whole time to me these results indicate that both pre-workout and a placebo led to an increase of performance from a baseline day I would say this suggests that pre-workout supplements do not significantly enhance performance and there's many studies showing this it raises the question of whether the perceived Improvement is due to the actual supplement or simply the belief in its Effectiveness I say

save your money and just go grab a coffee
