Hello everyone,
I've been following the Naval Special Warfare physical training guide for 14 weeks and so far it has been going very well. That being said I have substituted the 1 set of 12 reps of weight lifting for a 5x5 routine but other then that I follow it closely.
I feel that I've reached a point where I can finish all the sets and reps for each workout but I can feel myself slowing down in the intensity of my workouts and finding myself not progressing. I've given some thought into taking a pre-workout on the days I feel tired and sluggish but I read in the PDF that taking supplements is not recommended. It says something about not growing dependent on them as I obviously wouldn't have access to such supplements during BUD/s.
1) I'm wondering what your take on this is? By supplements do they mean other substances?
2) In the end is it me building strength and the pre-workout helping me to reach my goal?
3) If I were to stop taking the pre-workout, I would assume that the strength gains I experienced while on the pre-workout would still be there?
Thanks for reading.
