    I also use jack3d, but NOxplode is what I used previously. I like the jack3d more and it's a little more economical.

    Pre workout you don't really need anything if your goal is loosing weight, post workout a protein shake or some chocolate milk is the best choice.

    You don't really need bcaa before a workout unless you are training fasted to reduce muscle catabolism, if you have eaten before your workout you don't need it.

    Just sharing my personal experience with ya...

    I've used Jack3d, C4 Extreme and SuperPump MAX pre workout drinks.

    I workout at night, so need something to kick my *kitten* quickly, then let me sleep approx. 2 hours after my workout

    Jack3d, Grape - Taste was so/so - I received a steady amount of energy from this drink, I received a decent pump during the workout, but a couple hours after the workout and still left me with too much energy to quickly fall asleep.

    C4 Extreme, Fruit Punch - Taste was good - I received a quick burst and steady burst of energy. The pump was minimal. I was able to sleep like a baby 2 hours after my workout.

    SuperPump MAX, Grape - Taste was scrumptious, but doesn't mix very well. I received minimal energy from this drink. But the Pump was incredible and seems to last. I was able to sleep like a baby 2 hours after my workout.

    My wife has used Jack3d and C4 Extreme. Due to taste, she likes the C4 much more.

    Cheers to you!

    Yes your right this is in a fasted state at 6am in morn on treadmill at 4mph for 65mins. before i weight train in evening i have 45g oats with 30g of protein 1hr before then my prworkout drink half hour before, i just sip on 15g of bcaas and 50g of maltodextrin during weights 50g of whey protein as soon as ive finished then have another 15g bcaas with my main post meal bout half hour later.

    I have an apple in the afternoon within 2 hours before spinning to make sure I don't have feel queasy on an empty stomach and give me the energy/carbs I need but I use my whey protein AFTER the workout as then the protein is best absorbed/utilized by your muscles.

    Rule of thumb; carbs before, protein after.

    But you could save some money and just have the bcaa before your fasted workout as your fueling your other workout with your protein and carb shake so don't really need the bcaa unless it's to help with doms
