Just wondering what types of pre and post workout supplements do you all take?

Pre workout - Chicago Nutrition Pump Force, to increase strength, energy and lean muscle
post workout - Chicago Nutrition Muscle Juice to replenish electrolytes and reduce muscle fatigue

i also drink Optimum Gold Standard 100% whey protien since im trying to maintain 130-150 grams of protein per day

    I just use GNC Amped recovery drink ( the cheaper p90x substitute) and that seems to work well. I try to stay away from the straight whey proteins because I am trying to loose weight and not build too much muscle.
  • Love your profile pic.. haha

    I don't eat anything special beforehand (I typically work out mid-day). I do have a breakfast with a lot of protein, and a mid-morning snack (about 200-300 cal) with easily assimilated carbs for energy for the burn.

    I either follow up with a smoothie (nonfat yogurt or cottage cheese, fruits, Whey protein) or I have a spinach salad with lots of beans, nuts, lean meats, veggies, and cheese.

    Dont' take a lot of supplements, but I'm curious to what others say.......

    Pre-work out: Jack3d
    Post Work out: P90X Results and Recovery Shake.
  • I usually drink the P90X Results and Recovery during my workout. Seems to work really well.
