precontest supp thread

I think I started my supp log in the wrong area, here is where I want to be.

I'm new to this site (coming from bb.com), 36 yr. old natural bodybuilder who hasn't competed in awhile.
I wanted to share my thoughts on precontest supplementation; I'm preparing for an April 5th show. Looks like a lot of good, solid minds on this site, so any feedback is appreciated.
I've never started a thread before, so here goes:

Upon waking (@5 a.m., 30-45 minutes before eating):
1 gram L-Carnitine
1 gram Acetyl L-Carnitine
5 grams BCAA’s (AST)
5 tabs Density (Beverley International)
3 caps SuperCissusRx (USPlabs)
NOTES: the carnitine combo w/ BCAA is a great way to get the fat-loss going for the day, as well as jump-starting positive nitrogen balance after nighttime sleep.

15 minutes prior to Meal #1: 1 cap P-Slin (USPlabs).

Meal #1: 1 Super Pak (Beverly Int.) or
1 Animal Pak (Universal)
3 grams fish oil
500 mcg Chromium Picolinate
NOTES: I alternate the Super Pak with the Animal Pak as my daily multi-vitamin, because I like them both.

45 minutes prior to training: 3 caps White Blood (Controlled Labs). Preworkout nitric oxide booster

30 minutes prior to training: 1 scoop Purple Wraath (Controlled Labs)
10 grams micronized Creatine (AST)
10 grams Glutamine (VPX)
2 caps PowerFULL (USP)
2 caps Recreate (USP)
4 caps I-GH-1 (LG Sciences)

Immediately prior to training: 1 scoop Purple Wraath
7 grams BCAA caps (AST)

Immediately after training: 1 scoop Purple Wraath
7 grams BCAA caps (AST)
5 tabs Density (Bev. Int.)

15 minutes following training: 1 cap Anabolic Pump

30 minutes following training: w/ postworkout shake (Meal #2) - 400 mg COQ10
1 gram vitamin C
500 mg vitamin E
5000 mcg Biotin
10 grams micronized Creatine (AST)
10 grams Glutamine (VPX)

15 minutes prior to Meal #3: 1 cap Anabolic Pump

Mid-afternoon: 3 caps White Blood
1 cap Recreate
2 caps PowerFULL

15 minutes prior to Meal #4: 1 cap Anabolic Pump

With Meal #4: 2nd Animal Pak (if taking those multi’s for that day; if I take the Beverly multi earlier instead, I’ll supplement with 1 gram vitamin C & 500 mg vitamin E with this meal).

With Meal #6: 3 grams fish oil.

Bedtime: 3 caps ZMA (Beverly Int.)
1 gram L-Carnitine
1 gram Acetyl L-Carnitine
5 grams BCAA’s (AST)
1 cap PowerFULL
3 caps SuperCissusRx

I’ll also take 6 Ultra 40 tabs (Beverly Int.) with every meal during this time, and currently I am using Scivation’s Anagen (2 caps w/ meals #1,3 &5) for ecdysterone. Out of all the supps listed, only Anagen has the jury still out. Not convinced this is doing much, and I think the company has discontinued it. I just happened to have some at the time, decided to throw it in there.

the recreate was a new add to my regiment that i just started yesterday. gotta tell ya, this was a great first experience; yesterday's workout (day #6 in the routine, the hardest of the week for me) was just insane. i've tried many preworkout energy/metabolism boosters in my time, some better than others, but the ones that worked the best to get me jacked always seemed to give me jitters to some extent. always read about "focus" claims that products made, well that never happened for me; in fact, the most effective ones made my mind race... until this stuff. now i know what that "focus" feeling's like. supersetting my quad/ham exercises, i felt like a machine, and when i completed the workout i felt like i needed to keep going -- UNHEARD OF on this day! very clean energy, no jitters or heart racing. same thing today with day #7 in the routine; i did a couple extra things in the workout, supersetting most everything, and still had energy at the end.

Haha, the best part it was not designed for that just a very nice ancillary effect. The main effect is fat loss/muscle preservartion or gain.

I shipped the testosterone product today. Arrived sooner than expected! Yea ya!
