    Pre workout is about as gender neutral as anything can get. It's caffeine, beta alanine and a few BCAA's.

    warm coffee because its perfect and makes me happy. Any of those fancy packaged pre-workouts make me shake for three days. I took one once and my muscles cramped up ruined my workout

    BCAA's pre and during.. I also take a couple of sips of N.O. Explode Pre Ignitor (its my husbands and it was free).. I seem to be able to blast through my lifting program really well..

    I think this has creatine, caffeine and some other b's in it. Love the fruit punch flavor he got.. tastes really yummy! I am bulking so I think it is ok to drink for me!

    BCAA's aren't needed before a workout unless you're doing fasted workouts. So, for me, with fasted workouts I use BCAA's and Yohimbine (to make sure my body is burning fat not muscle, and a pre-workout drink (caffeine being the main ingredient ;)

    Oh, and for non-fasted workouts, a serving of why protein and a banana.

    C4 makes me not eat the rest of the day, really sensitive to appetite suppressants like caffeine. I've been looking for a non-caffeine alternative.
