Supplement Opinions For Pre/Post Workout
 

I'm curious as to what you're suggestions and personal opinions are on the following products. It's tough to research online because there are so many products with such great reviews that it's tough to know where to start. I understand that different products work for different people, but simply want you're opinion on potential supplements.

Pre-Workout:
MP Assault
Jack3d

Post-Workout:
MP Recon
Afterglow

Optimum 100% Whey

I am 5'8", 160pounds. I'm looking to get stronger, while obviously gaining mass, and to be cut, not just bulky. I appreciate any input.

Is there a way to edit a post on these forums?

Anyway to set aside any confusion, here is a more specific list:

Pre-Workout: 30 Minutes before
MP Assault
Jack3d

Post-Workout: Immediately after
MP Recon
Afterglow

Post-Workout: 30 Minutes after
Optimum 100% Whey

I have never used the Pre WO's that you listed but have heard great things about Jack3d. I use 1MR and love it.

As for the post workouts that you listed for immediately after you workout, never tried them. But, the protein is the same protein that I use so that's a good choice lol.

Probably didnt help you as much as you wanted lol but oh well.

I've heard real good things about Jack3d too, however every good review that MP Assault has says that they prefer MP over Jack3d. So I wanted to hear some more opinions on both.

Optimum 100% is obviously one of the best in the business. However, I'm not sure it gives that intense energy surge that I want before workout, nor is it an extremely fast working protein which I wanted immediately after workout. But I believe it's good enough that it needs to be incorporated somewhere during the course of a workout day and figured post workout is best.

I've tried both the pre-workouts before, not too bad. Like most pre-workouts my body adapts to them fairly quickly. However, currently right now Im using Nutrabolics Swollen. So far I'm loving it, great pumps and focus. Most importantly it doesnt upset my stomach which is huge for me when choosing a supplement!

Also just added in Geranium into my plan, loving that as well! Unreal focus and intensity.

I take Vitamin World's Nos Blast Concentrate. It is the same formula as Jack3D. ON Whey is great, I love the stuff.

I'm not sure you'd need to take two pre-workout supplements. Choose one or the other. You'd probably do just fine having a protein shake (whey) some time after you train. Don't over-think pre and post workout supplements/nutrition. As long as your overall eating plan is in order then pre/post workout supplements won't make much difference.

I found this new pre-workout. I have been taking it for about a month. Usually I take a pre-workout and after a few days I stop feeling the effects or it makes my skin crawl. I still feel the effects of this everyday I take it. Gives me great pump and focus. It is called Rush. If you want the website message me.

A popular choice for a pre workout is jack3d or white flood about 10-30 minutes before a workout.
For post work out many people choose ON whey protein or other whey protein isolate. Also they sometimes add around 40 gram of sugar to their 5 gram of creatine to get an insulin spike.

I like Hemo Rage Ultra for Pre Workout at the moment, gives a kick but I have stopped using these so often now and therefore cannot vouch for whether the effects fade with frequent use as I found happened with some products more than others over the years.

Post workout is the MOST important meal. The window of opprotunity when your body is like a sponge! Simple sugars and fast digesting protein (whey) in a 3 to 1 ratio.

i just have a protein shake with peanut butter in it after every workout and it has been working well for me.
