It starts June 20th and my cycling group will be finished by July 14th. (long story short) My question is that I have weight lifted regularly for the past couple of years and have taken a numerous amount of different weight lifting supplements. My current build includes Pump-HD Pre-Workout Muscle Builder, Build-HD Anabolic Creatine, and BSN Syntha-6 Ultra Premium Protein Matrix. All of these products can be found at GNC where I regularly shop. So the question, what supplements should I take for cycling to help maintain my weight and give me that burst of strength and long lasting energy these products give me when I weight lift? I'm 6'0" and weigh approx. 165lbs. Don't worry about consulting a doctor, knowing your risk, etc. I have that covered I'm not foreign to that sector.
TLDR; What supplements should I take for cycling to help maintain my weight and give me that burst of strength and long lasting energy that my current supplements give?
Maybe you guys take supplements? Thoughts? Maybe I'll find something new that is unique to cycling aside from lifting!
thanks,

Jesus man how much do you spend on supplements? your stack also seems off a bit. why take a creatine supplement
when all good proteins have enough creatine and BCAA'S to not have to buy extra? also most if not all of your supplements your taking require you to cycle them on and off.
my suggestion is to first stop shopping at GNC because they are a rip off. start shopping online at bodybuilding.com or supplementwarehouse.com and you'll notice how much cheaper everything is. second dump syntha 6 because its overpriced and lacks a good combo of whey and casein protein. it also lacks in the BCAA department as well. switch over to combat powder and then you'll be able to dump your creatineand pump HD. You may also want to look into getting off C4 since its a cycle supplement. look at a pre workout like assault that doesn't require you to cycle.
any good trainer or someone that knows what they are doing will tell you to save your money on supplements and spend it on food. if you focus more on hitting your macros and less on what supplements you buy you'll be in even better shape. go compare the supplements i recommended with what your taking now. they offer more and are cheaper!
