    Different strokes for different folks. I personally would puke if I had a protein shake BEFORE my workout. I prefer sticking with after =)

    I dont think I have tried any pre work out ... MO Xplode, C4, Muscle Pharm Assualt, or Super Pump that I would say "WOW this is delicious" ... I just ended up with the NO Xplode because they were selling it on Woot.com two containers for 19.99 and its not the worst one I ever tasted I just don't like how you are supposed to stir it and not shake it because of the delivery system.

    I get a stitch if I drink or eat before running so tend to have something after. Maximuscle diet shake - it has green tea.

    No Xplode makes me feel like a crack head all jittery.

    I take it both pre and post workout because I can insure my muscles aren't getting burnt from the workout but also add more replenishment thereafter!
