i used to go all out on breakfast. but lately ive just been eating 2 bowls of corn flakes with a banana before the gym and having great pumps. before this i would be eating like 6 whole eggs 2 egg whites or a hunk of ground beef along with potato or oatmeal. it just got to time consuming cooking all that shit. if i feel the 2 bowls of cereal didnt cut it i will have a protein shake.
also, my Mr Hyde preworkout is giving great pumps too

Thank you fellas. I really appreciate the feedback. I’m looking into a pre, without the stim. I’m under the impression caffeine restricts blood vessels. I tried a tbs of salt pre. Very unpleasant eating it. Cialis is always great. Unfortunately mine is laced with viagra. So it leaves me in the gym with a boner
I came across this info an found it to be an interesting read. Hope it helps Big T
Foods That Encourage Nitric Oxide Release
Your body naturally releases nitric oxide when you lift weights, which helps facilitate increased blood flow and blood vessel expansion to contribute to the pump. Your body may release nitric oxide through a path that uses the amino acids arginine and citrulline. These amino acids allow the blood vessels of the muscles to relax and widen, thus accommodating a greater amount of blood and fluid to encourage the pumped-up appearance.
To bolster your ability to use this pathway, include more foods that contain the amino acid arginine throughout the day, especially in meals that are consumed before and after workouts. A study published in a 2012 issue of Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism showed that supplements containing arginine increased the blood volume in muscles worked after a strength-training session. Nuts, particularly almonds, cashews and peanuts, are high in arginine. Shellfish such as shrimp and crab also contains substantive amounts of this amino acid. Red meat or egg yolks are alternatives to shellfish.
Another physiological pathway by which nitric oxide is released uses nitrates. When consumed right after a workout, foods containing naturally occurring nitrates are especially helpful in prolonging the pumped-up feeling for around 45 minutes. Arugula, beets, beet juice, rhubarb and dark chocolate – with a minimum of 72 percent cacao – promotes a higher concentration of nitric oxide in the blood. A 2011 study performed by Indonesian researchers showed that after only 15 days, participants who consumed 1 ounce of dark chocolate a day experienced higher nitric oxide serum levels, when compared to participants who consumed an equal amount of white chocolate.
Carbohydrate Foods and the Muscle Pump
Consuming carbohydrates before your workout further contributes to the full, pumped appearance brought upon by increased blood flow. Your body converts carbohydrates into glucose, which is then stored as glycogen in your muscles. Along with this glycogen, the body stores a small amount of water -- helping the muscles to look full and engorged.
Quality carbohydrates that contain fiber give you with the energy you need, but they release it slowly, so it lasts throughout your workout. A small serving of protein, along with the carbohydrates, provides an early delivery of essential amino acids that support the muscle-building and recovery process. Before your workout, have a baked white or sweet potato with an egg, a serving of brown rice, with a couple of ounces of chicken on whole-grain bread with a bit of peanut butter or some tuna salad.
Highly refined carbohydrates, such as white bread and pure sugar, digest too quickly to promote a long-lasting pump. They give your muscles immediate energy, but your body can’t use all the carbs at once. The extra carbs get stored as fat, which doesn’t contribute to a cut, pumped-up looking physique.
Water intake also plays a role in muscle pump. When you're adequately hydrated, blood flows more readily and can rush to the worked muscles to create the pump. Spread out your fluid intake across the day, with a concentrated 32 ounces of water consumed around the time of your workouts.

I experiment with different things, however, a can of chunk tuna in water is always the base. 45min PWO with a cup of black coffee and sometimes ill throw in a lenny & Larry's complete cookie in the mix.

Two scoops MTS Vasky, 10g EAA, 10g Creatine, 1 1/2 cup of white rice or 7oz white potatoes (45-60 mins before), a good amount of salt, and BCAA/EAAs with 50g Gylcofuse during my workout. If I have PlasmaJet I’ll throw 5 pills in preworkout as well.
If I’m taking slin than 5 ius of GH and 5-10ius of slin 30 mins preworkout and adjust he carbs as needed. I use regular slin not humalog.
40-50mgs of dbol is also pretty badass to add to this mix[emoji1362]

2 hours pre workout: 4 whole eggs, 1 cup of oatmeal mixed with whey protein, bowl of spinach, 1.5 hours pre workout: 50mg anadrol, 1 hour pre: 4 cups of coffee
My first run with anadrol, pumps are ridiculous

I am partial to a large carb meal before i work. Usually somethinglike 8oz of pasta with shrimp, or a cup n a half of rice and some lean burger/steak.
Morning works i have typical breakfast foods. 3 eggs 4 oz eggwhites, 4 strips thick bacon, and a cup of oatmeal or a couple slices of daves bread.
Plus my preworkout, been using total war, stuff is pretty intense. Great focus and energy, but for some reason i have no problem going to sleep after it.

Yeah I like to get my carbs in at least 1.5 hours pre otherwise I feel a bit sluggish. Sometimes I get hungry and will have a scoop of Karbolyn or something 30min pre as well. But I'm always ravenous post workout

Take a few grams of Celtic or pink salt. 70g+ carbs from cream of rice, 30g protein from isolate and lime 8-12g fat from nut butter.
So that 60-90 min pre.
Intra have some carbs, cyclic dextrin if you can afford it and 8g citrulline Malate. Add 20g essential aminos. Get it from true nutrition or buy arc reactor from granite supps.
Add in 5mg cialis daily

Yes you'll get pumps from taking an oral or having increased RBC from AAS, but vasoconstriction from caffeine will negate the vasodilation effects of NO.

Thank you guys who threw me a bone. I been training and eating and doing the dealy-o all year. I needed help in nutrition so I reached out.
