I see many successful people do different things. Some bcaa, some their pwo, energy drinks, water with minerals, coffee, and lastly alcohol lol.

30g cluster dextrin and some flavored EAA powder. Just bought some maltodextrin though since it is a bit cheaper than cluster dextrin.
Carbs, bought a 25lb bag of maltodextrin, one scoop 30g and then a liquid iv or a bcaa but just for the flavor. but only thing really need is intra carbs most of us are having way too much salt anyway
I use Karbolyn intraworkout, 25-50g, and a generous sprinkle of Celtic Sea salt. Sometimes ill add an EAA blend, but honestly just for the flavor if im tired of plain water, I get plenty of protein so its not "necessary"
Ive dabbled in all the powder carbs, and Karbolyn just works better for me, digests better than HBCD, maltodextrin, or dextrose for me. I mainly use it because I work out in the morning and have only a light breakfast, my smallest meal of the day. So I like those carbs to keep me fueled up while I lift, and before I can get to my post workout meal which contains the most carbs for my day.
I do use preworkouts but its more of a ritual than anything. So I look for ones low or non-stim with a good basket of other ingredients. Honestly whatevers on sale, but stay away from the ridiculously high stim stuff. Energy drinks DURING a workout? Fuck no LOL. Last thing I want between sets is a super sweet carbonated drink
I will always drink water with electrolytes during my workout. When I am in my bulking phase I will add Liquid Glycerol to it as well. I been thinking about playing around with some Cluster Dextrin since I haven't tried it yet, but I don't think I will add that until I am able to push calories higher later in the bulk.
I use to always drink Pre, but now days I found out I just don't need it. I am fine with a few cups of coffee in my day maybe a diet soda. I think Pre and high stim energy drinks are over doing it, and are unnecessary for a good workout. The high dose of caffein can upset your stomach on intense workouts like a leg day. Another reason I don't like them is I typically train later in the day, and it can fuck with my sleep to much. Caffeinated Pre is overrated, if I was to use a pwo, I would just run some TNE and feel way way better then 300mg of caffein.
Good question bro!
Glycerol monosterate samies here boo. Alongside whatever cheap-o electrolyte powder I grab.
Also mad dog 20/20.
Bro where have you been? I haven't seen you around for a week now at this point!
Bro MD 20/20 is a throw back lol, shit is fucking disgusting.
I make a little custom blend. Strawberry Banana TNE20/20 and pin it so I am still good to drive to and from the gym.
I took a break. Was spending too much time on here arguing with ppl lol.
Strawberry Banana TNE 20/20 sounds like it could be a pretty decent anabolic pwo dropper for sublingual use that also is tasty. I'd fuck with it!
Yeah I get it, its always good to step back sometimes and to live life without worrying about internet shit.
