hey guys.
so, hopefully you'll all hop onboard of this one.
I want to start making my own prewrokout mixture so that I get more of the stuff I want and less of the stuff I don't and all this for cheaper ;)
so, I want your advice of what to include and why.
so far I want to mix up 5 grams of creatine monohydrate, beta alanine, l-arginine, l-carnitine, methylhexanimine, some flavourant, caffeine, alpha lipoic acid, zma and maybe some taurine.
sooooo, what do you guys think?
take anything out? add anything in?
hope you all try this with me :D
peace

oh, it's just 5 grams of creatine mono. everything else will add a fair amount of weight to this too. it's not 5 grams of everything.

Definately add taurine @ 6g. I love it much more than Creatine! And its dirt cheap too! I don't really use Creatine anymore unless its in some supplement and then its usually in CEE form. The rest of your ingredients look good so far.
BTW can you get methylhexanamine, and where?

i would skip creatine,as you have no delivery mechanism,add that to your pwo,it is something that must build up in your system.
maybe add waxy maize starch?or oats? u dont have an energy source to carry u. my 2cents

WAR uses a bit of Waxy Maize starch in their Grenade Pre-Workout

Give it a shot, you're only TESTing it...

@ SuThy where/how do you get your hands on those individual products to make your own PWO?

How do you know what amounts of stuff to add SuThy?
I have tried something similar with spirulina, arginine, glutamine, leucine, wms and bcaa's. But I got tired of all the effort involved. (and spirulina tastes crap)
tbone, try warrenchem

@ mOlt3n, shot bru, had a look at their website and all the stuff is listed.

Does Warrenchem supply to the public? Small quantities of each etc?

Mostly in 1 or 2kg packs, and yes to the public, but I dont exactly know how and to lazy for the schlep of calling and and. Got someone else to help me there.


side note: The prices are good, protein and stuff just about the same as that of LSJ, showing you how well priced is basicsupplements for real good quality stuff.

howzit guys.
sorry for my absence.
I was busy all day.
I'm not sure what amounts of each ingredient to add so I've been looking at the N.O. supplements on the market at the moment and just copying their amounts.
I'm gonna try and test until I get a good recipe :)
@m0lt3n I eat my oats an hour before gym so I don't need carbs in my pwo. it's just an energy shot kind of thing.
you can buy methylhexanimine from Supplements SA I think. I saw a topic posted here a while ago,
I'll check it out.
any other advice?
I'm taking out arginine because of the blunting of GH secretion. (go read in the earliest posts on this forum)

Warrenchem is good to buy from, minimum 1kg per ingredient, but they are cheap and fast.
I have had no success trying to get info from Supplements SA regarding methylhexanamine, I think you might need contacts to get it from them :unsure:

You would probably need a licence or some sort of prescription for some of the compounds at that site like
19-nor-4-androstenedione
Epinephrine

if you see all the raw stuff they have you can come up with some sport illegal shit that you will freak out on even die if you dont get the correct dosing

And suthy i think the safest best is take like 6 different preworkouts contents and see where they barrier certain products and play around to see what works for you
