**Make your Own Pre-workout supp**

[Twist]

I can't comment on the stimulant aspect as 1) I am hypersensitive (borderline allergic), and 2) I don't believe stimulants should be relied upon and should only be used when necessary. I wouldn't consider them in my prewo regimen at all.

As for the nutrients I would include:
L-arginine (most important) - 5-10grams
L-Norvaline (to assist with arginine) - 100mgs
L-Citrulline - 200mgs
Beta alinine - 500mgs
Creatine Monohydrate - 5grams
B-Vitamins - 10-30mgs
EAA - 1 gram

When making your own preworkout supplement you have to buy the right ingredients, in the right form, from the right supplier. If you don't your shake will be unbearable. Try mixing powdered L-arginine by twinlabs with anything and you will toss.

How important is the pump? Crucial!


That being said my preworkout supplements are:
1 8oz steak
1 sweet potato
5 grams creating monohydrate

curious about the supplement in bold above...I have recently read it increases NO levels more than Arginine. I know that Muscle Techs new preworkout formula (I know Muscle Tech products are an expensive waste) uses L-Citrulline instead of Arginine.

Here's my preworkout formula: 1 5oz can of tuna, 1 whole egg, 2 egg whites, 1 tsp. fish oil, 1 cup oats - this is taken 1.5 hours before my workout.

30 mins before my workout:
1 scoop jack3d
200mg caffeine pill
5g creatine mono
4g beta alanine
5g AAKG
1g Vit. C
1g taurine

This formula gives me tons of energy, vascularity (depending upon bf%), and a huge pump in the gym.

1 scoop jack3d y wuld u take a scopp of jack3d ASWELL as the rest of those stims? 5g AAKG is way 2 much btw, wont see any gr8 difference above 2g with me anyway.
200mg caffeine pill
5g creatine mono
4g beta alanine
5g AAKG
1g Vit. C
1g taurine

never been big on taurine either... its called the "happy" amino acid because its supposed to lift u but it has never done anything 4 me so i wuld question whether its just placebo.

I add the scoop of Jack3d for flavoring purposes mainly and because a container will last me 45 workouts with only taking one scoop. In my opinion 5g AAKG is not overkill and I can tell a difference in pumps with 2.5g and 5g. I normally don't take taurine but I am currently taking it because I'm on cycle and running an oral.
