My supplement list? should I change any of it?

It's more the fact that I have hard time believing 4g Leucine, 1g valine and 1g isoleucine will change anything? Should I take more? They seem very controversial and sort of a waste of money? 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.

That's what I was thinking. Also I take around 15g of Glutamine a day, forgot to put that!

No need to take Creatine pre and post workout.

5-10gr (depending on body weight, muscle mass in particular) post workout will do the job.

Also, 15gr of Glutamine intake is somewhat ironic for someone who does not believe in BCAA and is on a budget. There is no definitive research showing that Glutamine is actually an anti-catabolic agent with claimed qualities of sparing lean muscle tissue.
