I posted a thread a few weeks ago and i remeber someone saying that you should not have sugar before your workout? is this true, i like to take my creatine before my wokrout with grape juice , should i change this, and also i usually drink a gatorade in my pre workout meal, did i get everything mixed up or should sugar not be taken before workouts?

Well I personally eat a good meal about 60-90 minutes before and just drink a protein shake right before, but yes I have heard also to limit your sugar and carb intake right before you lift. I'd ditch the gatorade but keep the grape juice with the creatine.
Sugar prior to a workout is no good unless its in a cocktail to chase down winny. For a cutting diet only sugar intake should be post workout. Try to avoid any insulin spikes, especially before training.

Oh... I didn't see he was cutting.
sorry i didnt mention im not cutting im bulking.
there is an article in the current flex mag that talks about sugar\whey shakes before, during and after a workout
personally i go for brown rice and chicken before a workout and then whey\maltodextrin\dextrose after a workout (cut or bulk)
