Pre- Workout Meal help

bludevil Posts: 23 Joined: 2005/06/23	2005/10/15, 04:44 PM I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a good pre workout meal that will give me a lot of energy to lift It seems that I'm not timing my meals right or not eating the right foods. And I dont want to drink a big caffeine energy drink because I heard it negates the effects of creatine. \ Thanks
