BCAA, Protein, Pre-Workout, Anything else???

I'm in bikini prep right now (12 weeks out) so I'm drinking a lot of supps but I'm curious to know what others drink or take on a daily basis & welcome to any opinions or advice regarding my routine.

This is what my day looks like:

morning: multivitamin tablet & BCAA - cellucor alpha amino fruit punch
mid morning: Protein - Iso 100 cinnamon bun
afternoon: BCAA - cellucor alpha amino fruit punch
evening: Pre Workout - cellucor 50x fruit punch
post workout: AllMax Glutamine
Before bed: BCAA - Cellucor Alpha Amino fruit punch

What's yours and why?

    I'm not competing, but I take Cellucor Bcaa's too. Take it during weights or playing hockey. I have not been sore the next day, ever since I started taking them!

    I'm not sure if you really need to be taking your BCAAs 3x daily, especially since most brands have a recommended dosage of 2x daily. Especially if you're consuming enough protein.

    But for myself I take:
    BCAAs during a cut(whatever brand is on sale/has good ratios
    Creatine MH year round
    Whey concentrate same as BCAAs 2-3x daily
    Multivitamin
    Fishoil (progressive)
    I also experiment with beta alanine from time to time when trying to break a plateau.

    Morning - multi-vitamin, fish oil, glucosamine/condriotin/msm
    pre-workout - creatine, beta-alanine, citrulline malate, taurine, agmatine sulfate
    intra-workout - BCAAs (if I'm lifting and doing cardio in the same session)
    post-workout - creatine, glutamine, beta alanine, luecine

    I don't consider protein powder a supplement, it's simply food in a powder form.

    I try to eat a well balanced diet and do my best to get what I need from my food.

    That said, no one is perfect LOL so I do take a daily vitamin. I also do a daily probiotic and from October - April I take a D3 supplement.
