Pre Workout Boost
In your guys opinion what is the best pre workout meal to give you a "pump"
I know pasta is well known and I have tried that with parmasian cheese and its pretty good but anything else to mix it up.
Also, do you need a significant amount of protein pre workout or is carbs the main necessity?
Thanks

a dextrose and oatmeal shake 10 minutes pre workout if you want a pump.
a solid meal with low-medium gi carbs and lean meat 45-60 hours before if you want stable energy

Is dextrose normal sugar you get at the grocery store? (I know, newbie question at its best)
So you use a blender to mix the dextrose and oatmeal? Water or milk or...?
Thanks

The second concern is becoming dependent upon caffiene for a pump EVERY workout. Do you need it always or just sporadically (sp?)
Anyway, thanks for the response.

the best thing for that is a solid medium gi carb meal 45-60 minutes before the workout. get like 60-70g carbs from brown rice, oats or whole grain pasta. Down some r-ala and vitamin c along with it. Dont do the dextrose shake pre workout for that. That is only good for a pump but can make you a bit lethargic.
Ephedra is good to offcourse.

try no-explode....alot of people will agree and alot will disagree..for me it works great. not for the creatine value but for the pre work out energy..it gives me that edge to get me through the work out like an animal..sick pumps as well

if im feeling particularly carb depleted and have a back or delt day ahead of me (my weakest parts) i do chicken breast, sweet potato with a tbsp of honey. it sounds gross but i mix it up and nuke it...mmmm, hits the spot. crazy energy too.

honey will give you some energy. I mean some old school boxers would have a tablespoon before a fight. I have it on my pre workout meal.
natural peanut butter, banana, whole wheat bread, 1-2 tsble spoon honey.

Johan, i was under the impression that high GI carbs before a workout might supress GH release during a workout...is this true at all? or would the insulin spike delivered by the carbs be negligable in that regard? i'm talking having maybe a teaspoon of honey about 20 minutes before a workout like some stated above.
