Yes I am set now on going into a caloric surplus. I just would like to know my pre-workout routine so that I can plan the calories in the rest of my day.
I have noticed that I do need a pre-workout supplement to improve my workout performance in the mornings (the caffeine gives me a boost in the mornings). Does this mean that you would recommend training fasted instead? And if so, which pre-workout would you recommend for that?
Sorry for all of the questions and thanks for your help so far
Well your routine is YOUR ROUTINE
that is not my routine or anyone elses
You need to find what WORKS BEST FOR YOU (nobody can tell you this), nor can anyone dictate that because we are not you
This is why I said trial/experience is what works best
No supplement works the same for you as it does for anyone else on here.
First you need to figure out what snacks and and calories work well for your pre-workout snack #1
Then you should add intra-workout carbs (Gatorade, Karbolyn, HBCD) which will help sustain workout performance/energy
Then consider a stim (Coffee, or pre-workout)
You can find my list here
You need to stop focusing on "Pills and Powders" because you can't supplement a bad diet
I am beating a deadhorse saying it over and over again. People are so quick to buy supplements but not fix the root issue which is your diet, training, sleep which are FAR more important then investing in a supplement. Not trying to be rude, but you can take 1g of caffeine, but if your diet and sleep and training are off it wont mean anything to help you progress to your goal

what may work best for you . I don't know. I don't coach you. I don't train you. So I am really just going to have to tell you "it depends" because none of us on here know much about you, what has worked and has not worked for you. These are all "Guidelines" that need to be tweaked in order for them to work for you
