We dont really believe in supps bro, most guys here do oats and raisins pre-workout (I add honey and milk or I have weetbix with milk and some sugar- hardgainer :whistle: )

Post I have some whey and glucose/dextrose (same thing, dextrose is D-glucose).

Intra I like vitargo,but normally I stick to water...

Supps are overrated bro, the only supps ill buy is: Whey,glutamine,omegas,flaxseed oil, maybe some creatine(every now and again) oh and I like the occasional pre-wo, but i have a theory that stims are counter-productive to gains - they are vasoconstrictors meaning the constrict bloodflow thereby decreasing nutrient absorption.

I have a pre-workout cocktail that gives the best pumps!! Take 20g bcaas(optional), 5g creatine, 5g arginine, 3g citrulline mix together and down with your pre-workout meal!

When you train plays a big part. I train early in the morning so my routine goes like this:

pre workout: Currently trying NO explode but i don't care much for the pre workout craze. A espresso is normally fine for me.

Intra: BCAA

Post: Whey/simple carbs/glutamine

1hr post workout: breakfast

Its not ideal to do weight training in a fasted state but i can't eat so early. If i do try and have some oats and whey my workout goes for a ball of s...

Arginine/taurine/beta alanine is stuff you can add as a pre workout drink. Most pre workouts have them but in much less than optimal dosages

I agree with gorilla, i think pre workouts are overrated and FAR too expensive for the purpose they serve,i mean sure you feel something when you are on them but i believe its more of a placebo effect...

That said i used to be a big believer my favorite was jack3d and i literally couldn't gym without it but then money became and issue and ive never looked back its been four months and ive gained way more using oats and rains as a pre workout

Moneys not an issue anymore but i still dont think ill ever go back, going into gym with the right mentality is far more important and will give you more than a scoop of overpriced stuff in a tub thats not even scientifically proven (creatine being the exception)

thats what im talking about, thats the info i need, i feel supps is a waste of money..
the bcaa argininine citruline, where do you get that...is it raw products..

as you say i would rather spend money on something else than products...

thanks for the info guys Mr T Gorilla, the oats raisins...do you cook the oats and just add the raisins...after..

pre oats and raisins
intra water ( as gorilla mentioned blood flow is important)
post whey..

i would rather try that than spending money on worthless supps..

thanks
guys

Cook your oats bro and eat it with raisins, I sometimes eat the oats raw, but that tends to leave me hungry in the gym and my performance kaks...

Eat your pre-wo meal 30-45mins prior to your workout, test what time works best for you, I like 45mins better though...

Have some dextrose/glucose with your whey post workout and add 10g glutamine + 10g BCAA's - this should get you super anabolic....

thanks Gorilla, the glucose...is it the raw powder from the chemist...

yes

Bro, iv used Wired, Jack3d, Shotgun, NO explode and yeah, they all give you tingles and a "pump", but honestly the BEST pre workout iv ever used and have been for ages now is 2 cups uncooked oats, with honey in a bucket thing haha, 10 eggs scrambled in another bucket container thing, then a mug of black coffee, i add some glycerine in the coffee and a glass of grapefruit with creatine.
about 40 to 30min before workout. Your strong, full of energy, pumps last waaaay longer, and along with all my meals everyday its great as a good breakfast aswell since i train early morning.
On my way while im driving i chow some raisins aswell like gorilla said.
My multivitamin and all my tabs i take after my workout, and my bcaa's are in my 3l workout bottle.
Awesome bro.

K1 you must be a machine, all those food just before training, well done...
im gonna try the oats thing, one question the honey, do you mix it with raw uncooked oats..and chow it..

thanks for the info...appreciate

i make it exactly like this.
Put my 2 container buckets out. Put 2 cups uncooked oats ( normal plain jungle oats ) in one container, boil the kettle, once its boiled, pour as much water in so that when i mix it its watery like, then i pop it in the mic for 2 minutes, while i do that, i crack 10 eggs and mix that up, when the oats are done i mix it and itll be all puffy and airy then i put some honey in and mix it up. i pop the eggs in the mic, scramble them, then while thats going im drinking my creatine with the grapefruit and making my black coffee, add the glycerine. Then i sit down, watch some BB vids while i eat it. Then make my way to gym.

Your cholesterol is going to be through the roof if you are eating 10 whole eggs per day!

damn K thats alot, dont you get sick in training, dont you wanna throw up...every time i do legs i wanna throw up...
but im gonna start the oats thing tomorrow...

thanks for your help

i have 10 eggs on days when i train, i have 2 days off in my split when i dont eat as many, i take some cholesterol tabs in the morning.

i guess, but i have a huge appetite and an extremely fast metabolism and if i dont eat enough, then i feel weak, its somthing iv always done, iv tried swopping oats for pro nutro some days etc but nothing works like that.

Before every session i walk / cyckle for 15 mins, just to get warmed up, blood flowing then a small warm up with light weights and then i klup it, i have gotten sick while doing legs and back but not because of the food, because of how i train.
try it, i dont mean by any means eat as much as that, but try the same thing and let me know how it worked for you.
Goodluck man
