Pre: Water
During: Water
Post: Water or Protein Shake*
*Mostly because I keep hearing you want some protein within 45 minutes of a workout since your muscles are like a sponge. Plus I'm thirsty and they taste good.0 -
I use Jack3D for a pre work out...have for a lil over a year now.. Like it because it gives me just a little bit of an edge but doesnt make me all wig out and get racey. Then by the time I am done working out I am back to normal. Then a protein shake with BCAA in it for after and I take Animal Pak vitamins.0

Pre: poptar ( strawberry )

I've noticed no significant differences in my performance or how I feel.0 -

It really depends on your goals. Some people exercise early might prefer a fasted training experience others need to eat. Either way, you don't need crazy supplementation for any of this.
Fasted Exercise
- Pre: 10grams of BCAA's
- During: 10grams of BCAA's
- Post: 10 grams of BCAA's
Simple huh? LOL
This is what I take prior to a lifting session (per my nutritionist)
- Pre: 1K to 2K mg's of Taurine, 200mg's Caffeine (I think that's it), 5grams Creatine Mono, 5grams EAA's, 54grams of Oats with 2tbsp's Natural PB and 1 serving of Whey
- During: 10grams of BCAA's with 5grams of Creatine
- Post: 3/4 cup of Brown Rice and 2 servings of Whey
Experiment I'm going to try:
- Pre: My pre will include the supplements from above but subbing-out the food portion for 26grams of Carbs from a startchy carb drink (Karboload from TrueNutrition.com) and a glucose re-partitioning supplement and 10grams of BCAA's
- During: Karboload (26grams) + 10grams of BCAA's
- Post: as stated above with the glucose re-partitioning agent.0 -
3 to 5 caffine pills a day0

Seriously? A poptart? LOL!
Check the nutritional info of that Amp 60...lol
I know the nutritional info thanks.0 -
I read the about drinking chocolate milk after a work out also but when I actually looked at the nutritional info on the chocolate milk, it has a ton of sugar in one serving so I bought premier protein drinks at costco. The chocolate flavor tastes just like chocolate milk. They have 30 grams of protein and only 1 gram of sugar in one drink. I drink half pre workout and half post. Water during.0
