There’s too much misinformation on this subject. I’m not an expert, but this is all based on what I’ve read from the most reliable scientific sources I can find.

Creatine timing doesn’t matter at all since your body has to load it over the course of days or weeks anyway. Take it whenever. Just take 5g at some point every day.

Pre-workout obviously before working out. Ostensibly 30 minutes before, to give your body time to take it in. But be aware that caffeine is the only legal OTC pre workout chemical that’s proven to be effective. A recent study even showed carbs didn’t increase performance measurably.

Recent studies show protein timing doesn’t really matter at all either. Your body will use the protein you give it. Now, you probably do want to get enough around the time you’re triggering muscle protein synthesis… Like, within a few hours of exercise. Ie, don’t fast all day, work out, then get your protein 8 hours later.

Other than that? The best pre workout is sleep. Get enough of that shit every night for your best gains in basically every area of your physical and mental health.

Right? How many mass-murdering psychopaths has God raised up in authority? What an idiot.
