    Before doing an anaerobic workout you won't be able to take anything that burns fat. Your using glycogen stores and phosphocreatine reserves for energy not fat.

    If your asking about before doing cardio, then you could use ephedrine, caffeine, yohimbine, green tea or acetyl-l-carnitine. Any of those would be good, or make up a safe stack with some of those supplements.

    Squat, They train all the time, have clean diets and sleep long at nights.

    Reg, like i said before your using glycogen and PCr for energy when doing anaerobic (lifting weights) exercise, your not using fat for energy.
