I used a Juggernaut/Massport stacker for my pre and post. The difference with a pre and post workout is that for the most part, a pre workout shake has some sort of energy boost in it, whether it be caffeine or taurine, or a beta alanine(which is what makes your muscles tingle when you work out if you're wondering). It has stuff in it to give you good muscle recovery and a real good pump while you're lifting. Reaally kills fatigue and prolongs your endurance. Your post workout will most regularly have a high protein or creatine base as well as amino acids etc. Its good for all your muscle repair and recovery. I take my post workout with a suppliment called Waxy Maize...its pretty cheap and what it is basically is a pure carbohydrate thats purpose is really to shuttle everything you've taken in, through your body quickly and efficiently. Your body holds and uses 40% more when you use Waxy Maize apparently. A weight gainer is pretty much just a massive dump of carbs and protein into your body. I was taking nitro juice for a while, and was bringin in well over 3000 cal a day just with that, as well as over 150 grams of protein. But yea...doing a stack has been the best thing Ive ever done to enhance my training...a pre and post workout are real important to keep your body going.
