Putting together a shopping list, need input

[parttimer]

I have moved away from buying tons of powder protein and have started to stick to just the basics, amino's, pre and post workout drinks so I am looking for some suggestions. I have a few products I am looking at but I'm not sure.

For my amino's I am going back with amino decanate from Musclemeds, has all the basics including glutamine which is hard to find in a mixed drink.

Preworkout I am on the fence, I have been using super pump which is my preference, I am looking for more than just speed in a bottle like 1MR or jack. I have tried assault and didn't get anything from it except the tingles, needed a red bull to pick me up. I have tried monster pump and used to like no-xplod but haven't used it in awhile. Anything else good out there?

During/post workout I have been using size on competition the low carb version. Thinking about going back to IGF DES so I might switch to the full carb version. Alternatives are Dark Matter and Karbolic. I think the Karbolic is just a waxy maize type product.

Looking to stock up, got a bonus check coming and 20% off an entire purchase at Vitamin Shoppe.

I think a lot of the supps on the market are a rip off... Some creatine monohydrate and maybe a new approach to dieting? I stopped spending all my hard earned money on supps and I haven't noticed a difference. Except I got bigger cause I wasn't drinking so much crap and could eat more... And spent some of the money on a bunch of TNE. That shit is awesome pre workout!

Bro Vitamin Shoppe is a fucking rip off just like GNC. Order your supps online. I just got a TON of shit from supplementwarehouse.com

They guarantee to beat ANYBODYS price and if u find a better price they will beat it by 5%. I actually created my own website "selling supps at a very cheap price" lol and they beat the prices by 5%. Stay away from those big stores Vitamin Shoppe, Vitamin World and GNC..Stick to online stores

I compared prices between V Shoppe and Bodybuilding.com and they were pretty close in cost and 20% off that takes them below BB.com. I don't have time shop a few different places.

I think it depends upon what you're looking for out of a preworkout (focus, energy or pumps?) For focus (which is most important factor to me!), anything containing DMAA has worked well for me, until recently. I developed a percieved 'tolerance' to DMAA and have switched off to non-DMAA supps for the time being. DS Craze was a good replacement...good focus/energy. C4 by cellucor was a nice alternative as well, decent focus/energy combined with pretty good pumps

During/post workout I have been using size on competition the low carb version. Thinking about going back to IGF DES so I might switch to the full carb version. Alternatives are Dark Matter and Karbolic. I think the Karbolic is just a waxy maize type product.

Are there still problems with supplement warehouse stealing credit card information? Considering their history, I wouldn't chance it.

I stick with lockout supplements or dps.

In regards to your original question. I only use cheap creatine, optimum protein, and various preworkout stims from time to time.

Man, I wish I could still find stuff with DMAA, does anyone know where its hiding? I had tried Cellucor when it first came out, didn't notice much except it tasted great!
