And the pre-workout really is for the extra boost on upper days, I usually finish school around 1 and workout around 2-2:30 so don't have time to make meal, on days where my upper is on the weekend I usually make a meal. And I'm strongly considering not using it after I'm done with it, they are way to expensive.. Especially on a student salary.
I agree with this. While EAA Do work - its proven they have an effect on akt/mtor - when money is tight they are not by any means a necessary staple. Layne Norton - who has been involved in studies on EAA and is even sponsored by Svivation (Xtend ) and is a proponent of EAA supplementation ( and one smart, well educated bodybuilder btw) has posted this very thing.
