If you're getting enough bio-available protein, ditch the free form amino acids except creatine. Ditch the ZMA and buy zinc and magnesuim speperately.

Creatine 5-10grams /day
Zinc 50-100mg /day
Magnesium 500mg /day
Vitamin C 2000-5000mg /day

caffeine as needed
ephedra as needed

A word on ephedrine: You can go as high as 120 mg of actual ephedrine, but you can start of like that or you'll die. I usaully take 50 mg twice, and then another 25 later on. So i'm pushing the envelope by 5 mg, but whatever. However, I have been using ephedrine for over six years, so i know what i can handle and what i'm doing.
