    If anything drink BCAAs during workout. Or nothing (supplement wise). It's unnecessary. Eating protein within 30 minutes is what matters most.
    The 30 min postworkout protein or protein carbs is one the biggest myths. You can get your protein and carbs two hrs latter and still be fine. In fact protein synthesis is still elevated 48 hrs after working out.

    Caffeine pills. Cheaper than coffee and you know how many mg of caffeine you are actually taking.

    30 minutes... two hours... I've heard every variation.

    My point is that the focus should be on post-workout nutrition rather than pre-workout.
