Reply With Quotemy pre-workout meals is about 2 hours before the training session.
2 hours prior:
60 grams of a quality protein, usually chicken
30 grams of complex carbs, usually oatmeal
30 min prior:
1-2 grams of Acetyl-L-Carnitine
fat burners
right before leaving for the gym (5 min away) I drink 20 grams of CFM whey in water and take 6 grams of BCAA's.

I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

You want to exercise on an empty stomach, to help with fat burning. So two hours befor is ideal. This month I'm trying creatine before and after a workout cus of all the conflicting advice.
I've also started taking ECA about 2½ hours before a workout, it boosts my energy levels, especially after a long day.
