All from TP.com

25lbs protein
2lbs creatine monohydrate
2lbs taurine
Green tea extract pills
2lbs of BCAAs (free from TP if I order tomorrow)

Already have a lot of fish oil, and use NOW Adam multi.

Now my questions:

1. Is the WPC/WPI mix solid for the 25lb recession whey? Or should I spend the extra money on the Ultra Whey?

2. Is it worth it to buy l-arginine and something like beta-alanine to make a pre-workout formula? I remember reading about something on this site saying using l-arginine with something else is better and more cost effective than some name-brand NO product.

3. Good decisions on my purchases/quantities?

Thanks for the help

Things look good. Beta Alanine is a good addition. If you are into NO products, add citruline malate to it and it will extend the effects of the arginine. I don't really care for the NO products in general.

I have a problem with being tired randomly throughout the day, even with sufficient sleep (8-10 hours). I love lifting, but sometimes right before I go I'm sluggish and tired and unmotivated. Once I'm there and start my workout I'm fine, but I think the pre-workout supps will help me get that focus and controlled mental pump and set a good tone to my workout. I haven't taken pre-w/o supps in a long time. I enjoyed their mental benefits (more than physical - I get pumped no matter what with a good workout), but don't find them that necessary. This order is more or less a Christmas present so I said, hey might as well.

Thanks for the help man.

2lbs creatine mono
2lbs taurine
500g beta alanine
200g green tea extract
