Those supplements before exercise used to leave me feeling shaky and overstimulated. So I started taking in creatine along with beta alanine first in higher amounts, then continued with smaller daily portions afterward. Now what I have before training is just a large mug of coffee plus some water in a shaker. Training on an empty stomach early in the day suits me.
My workouts started back in February, and I've taken some energy boosters on those occasions when my motivation was low. I'm wondering about the supplements people here rely on for their sessions. Have you found them helpful or not really? Mine just ran out, so I'm interested in hearing about the options others go for.
