Here is a shake that I take one hour pre and right after workout. 50 grams Whey, 50 grams carb powder, 27 grams glutamine, 14 grams of colostrum, 10 grams creatine mixed with 16 oz. of Welches grape juice. Those measurements are for my body weight. And I take 2 deer velvet caps in the morning and 2 before my workout. Which is usually around 5 pm.

That is a boatload of Glutamine, it would be ok as a post-workout shake only, not a pre-workout shake, unless you were a hardgainer on a bulk

you could split it and make half a during workout shake and the other half of your mix a post workout shake, but I wouldnt do with before. Id also just stick with your carb powder(is it dextrose?maltodextrin?) and add water rather than the grape juice. seems like quite a bit of glutamine as well. 5-10g is defintly enough.
what are deer velvet caps btw?

Thanks. I'll cut back on the glutamine. The carb powder I use is maltodextrin. Deer velvet caps are an awesome supplement that not many know about. Here is a little on them. deer antler velvet, which is extracted humanely, without harming the deer at all, not only has IGF-1, it has 7 other powerful growth factors, and much more!
