I usually take some L-Glutimine and Amino caps..The Glutimine Before bed, After waking up, and After my workout To help with Recovery. I take the Amino, usually Before bedtime and After waking up.

Are you taking any kind of fat burner?MM4 by Syntrax is a great adjunct to any thermogenic(or clen).Glutamine peptides is a great supplement,especially when dieting(as is HMB,but only during dieting).I think creatine is useful as well up until about a week out.There are more,depending on what non OTC supps you are taking. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

This is good but I would add Glutimine for recovery and to keep your immune system up during the hardship of dieting. In addition I would take creatine up until a few weeks out just to avoid any water retention. Fat burners are also very importent and I wouldn't forget to do that right up to the day of the show.

I will normally do the following with preparing:

ECA

Glutimine

Creatine

muti-vitamin

vitamin C

Glucosimine Sulphate ( for the joints )

Either a pro-hormone or one of the
flavors of the month ( ie. methoxy-flavrone , zmass , etc)


It tends to add up to alot of pills each day but you get used to it. I know the ECA , creatine , and Glutimine help the precontest dieting but the rest I doubt do any tremendous improvements.
