I read about how some of you guys take caffeinted pre-workout drinks, and some of you have said it affects your sleep or has other side effects. It seems like there's always something wrong with a pre-workout drink. SuperPump causes stomach aches and anal drainage; 1MR, depending on scoop, can make you jittery/up all night/etc. I'm probably missing a few.

Is there no all-arond best pre-workout shake? No ON Whey-type sort of class-leader for pre-workouts?

BTW, just to play along, I'll add my #s:
Weight = 155
Bench = 205 x3 with spot
Squat = 245 x3 or 4
Deadlift = 245 x5

I don't use machines much. Mostly body-weight exercises or free-weights. Chin-up 8x3, pull-ups 8x3, dips 10x3, etc. IMO, bodyweight exercies feel more natural than machines (eg: lat-pull down, tricep extension, etc.)

BTW, somebody above needed advice on increasing their bench. Since benching is a push maneuver, how about a pulling maneuver? EG: inverted row. Just a thought.
