Workout drinks

[agpando]

This might seem to be a dumb question to some people but I'm wondering what kind of drinks do you have while you workout? Like, I usually make a drink specifically for my lifting. It's gatorade powder mixed with water and liquid amino acids. Its kind of like an energy drink but my own special mix. I was thinking of making one with unflavored creatine, gatorade, and liquid amino acids mixed together. Does anybody else make their own type of drink?

Water or the occasional beer, no exceptions.

Na,I dont drink sugar drinks while I workout {or any other time}.
Have a preworkout meal or drink if you are on a low cal diet,then drink water at the gym,so's you dont get dehydrated.
Working out is the time to exercise the muscles not consuming calories.

I just have a big healthy meal 1hr before training.
Biggerbuddie, if you stick to your weight gain diet then I don't see the extra carb hurting you but a good pre-workout meal with slow release carb's should suffice (fast release carbs tend to make one tired).

As a post script, I find if I ask my questions in my own thread I tend to get more responses than if I post a Q in somebody else's thread.
