Re: Pre-workout
C4 Ripped or Mr. Hyde on lifting days (4 days), coffee and BCAAs on just running days. I generally only use Mr. Hyde only once a week though. Trying not to be that dependent on caffeine.

Re: Pre-workout
Caffeine
Pretty much anything else is worthless |

Re: Pre-workout
I like to take a BCAA drink before working out (I work out fasted). Right now I like the Xtend - Blue Raspberry. No sugar and tastes like Blowpops.

I used CM during the summer with Beta-Alanine and Creatine but found the first two to not be worth it. Then again, I WL. Some of the documentation shows that BA is only worth it for much higher reps and the same is possibly true for CM. Light days: Diet cola which is 20-30mg. Also on off days so I don't have to deal with caffeine withdrawal but is far less than training days. Medium days: Rockstar (they're cheap at WinCo) which are 140mg. Sometimes a diet cola when I wake up. Heavy as all get out days: Diet cola, Rockstar otw, pop a 100/200mg caffeine tablet (I only found the 200 at Winco the other day). Sometimes generic excedrin which is 65mg each, so 1 or 2 depending how much I ache. Meet days. All the caffeine. My buddy likes Spike from TNation but the Yohimbe is no bueno for me as I get nausea from that. I generally drink the 0 cal energy drinks though sometimes you can't find 0 cal redbull around and have to go with the one that has 3g of carbs. Quote:

Yeah, I liked the white can rockstar but the carbonation was hard to chug. Need something quick to drink for early morning training. I've also had Bang which taste like a rockstar with the carbonation but is twice the caffeine and has creatine. But again, just can't drink it that quickly. Pretty pricey too. Carbonation doesn't bother you at all? |
