Cheap is coffee, Caffiene helps with the muscle soreness too. Otherwise a good Preworkout drink may help. I have used Superpump250 forever, just recently I have switched pre drink to see any difference

Funny you should say that. I'm getting quite the following. I have two guys training with me now. Everyone is over 40 years old. I guess they see that I can do it, so they can do it too. I just make sure they do it correctly.
 
I usually do my creatine after my workouts. Most post workout drinks have it in them. I may be wrong, but thats when i do it. I figure I lift in the gym to build muscle out of the gym.

words of wisdom great words ..from the power lifting  wetdawg..geroo..bad spelling.

DONT BLAME THE PITBULL TRAIN THE PITBULL .BAN THE DEED NOT THE BREED.... OH YES MY GRAMR AND SPELNG SUCK AZZ...I KNOW.. THERE ARE NO BAD DOGS.JUST BAD OWNERS...

I think I'm gonna have to disagree on the caffeine for this one due to its during and after effects.  Sleep is very important to maintain a homeostasis that favors anabolism.  Caffeine tends to keep a guy awake, especially if taken on an empty stomach.  It can also be very dehydrating and it is a powerful anorectic.
In the case of stimulants legal is not exactly a way of describing something that will be easy on you.  In the RC field there is a stimulant right now that is legal called desoxypipradrol, this is about 20 times the cns stimulating effects of methamphetamine and boasts a dosage level of about 0.5 mg, it anorectic potential is about on par with a comparitive dose.
Modafanil, developed in part as a "methadone for cocaine" can be had in some legal circles, particularily RC.  Its a good stimulant, non addictive, great for truckers, no jitters.
I see potential for mild stimulation in methylhexamine, some say it comes from geranium oil but thats b.s., its only constitutes maybe .01%, it is in some supplements, do a search.
For this type of stimulation, like for working out ephedrine couldn't be beat.  But, you may need to go to the route of the problem, I for instance am always low on energy, I don't sleep enough, I don't eat right, you have to find the balance that works for you.  There are amino acids that are really good for energy, supplemental b12 via subcutaneous injection is a must for someone suffering with low energy.  Thyroid activity has a HUGE effect on you energy levels, as it essentially dictates the rate you are able to produce energy from food.  Take a good look at how you live right now, record what you eat and do and look at it as a whole at somepoint, things jump out at you.  YOu might all of a sudden realize, hey I don't eat lunch at the same time everyday or on weekends I just have a whores breakfast when I get up.(whores breakfast=coffee and a cigarette).  Look at your sleep schedule, record how many times a night you wake up, consistant sleep is all important for energy.
good luck, I'm sure you will figure it out.  A good ginseng supplement containing only the fraction with the 6%gensenosides(sp?) is supposed to enhance energy as well.

Dr I hope you plan on sticking around DBB for a while.
