check vitago.com .. NOW nutrition has 2lb bags of dextrose really cheap

30-50 grams of complex carbs if you really want to push it with energy levels

I usually prefer to train on an empty stomach with last meal being at least 4 hours before

thank you, thank you , thank you. Was just having this discussion on another board. Basically i stated that i went to the gym without drinking the perverbial "preworkout" shake. Well, i had a tremendous workout, great lifts, great energy, etc.

I was just curious as to how many also do this. I feel if you have eaten a decent balanced meal at least 4 hrs before working out, you will be fine and not have that "bloated" feeling.

I'd like to have my last meal 2-3 hrs before my workout.....shake 30-45 mins before hitting the gym.

45 mins before training :

20 grams whey isolate
BCAA powder
L-Arginine
ALC
Caffiene
Taurine
L-Lysine
Glutamine

Mix all together, drink and grow. Have the same minus caffiene and increased protein plus simple carbs post workout.
