    PW questions on pre/post workout intake

    I've read alot here and learned a great deal already, but I still have a few questions...

    workout M-W-F around 5:30 pm...each session is about 30-40 minutes long

    currently on workout days I have a PreWO shake consisting of 1 scoop whey iso, one scoop Xtend and one scoop waxy maize. PostWO consists of one scoop Xtend and one scoop waxy maize (protien is later).

    I'm very anxious to try PW, I've heard great things about it...and also because it has BA in it. (plus I'm a big fan of Blue Up and CL in general!)

    So PW is best pre and intra...my workouts are short so intra wouldn't work well...so PW would be then be PreWO (1-2 scoops). I read it was a good idea to split the aminos both pre and post, but with the PW, all would be pre...is this as beneficial as splitting? I'd still have the waxy maize post.

    in regards to the Beta Alanine, I've heard it's best to take this several times per day, every day...with the PW, I would only get this one time per day, 3 days per week...so would it be better to also add BA by itself as an addition?

    man, you'd think this was rocket science...

    thanks...

      Sounds solid and no need for additional BA / loading.... just give WRAATH up to 2 weeks to fully kick in.

            I have been without Wraath for over a week since I delayed re-ordering. It is unpleasant and I will not delay an order again, it has become my most important (non-protien) supplement.

            I think you will enjoy it.

              This is exactly what I do now with my PW.

              I currently take 1 scoop of WF + 1 scoop of GM in 10-14oz water 30-45mins Pre-workout then start sipping the 1 scoop PW in 10-14oz water ~15 mins before I start lifting.
              I then refill my 20oz water bottle and just sip water throughout the workout.

              I don't know if I just got stronger but I when I worked out yesterday, it seems I was able to push harder!

                I can't help but second what's already been said. Start sipping it on the way to the gym and finish it while you're there. PW is now my 2nd recommended supplement only to protein!!!!!!!!

                    what about a multivitaman or fish oil? both are overall better than amino acids IMO
