Whats your opinion about gainers pre-workout?

[Strelok]

I was considering to adopt a 2 day split therefore the effort required would be greater than a 3 or a 4 day split, I was used to get whey proteins with water a hour before the training but Im afraid that wont be enough in order to have strengh and maintain intensity all the time (limit catabolism too).

So I was considering to get a weight gainer with skim milk about a hour before working out and then have a 60-75 min workout with some cardio in the end.
Awfully I dont have time anymore for a 3-4 day split.

Drinking water before and during your workout, 10-15 minutes of warming up and stretching will help you lift more and longer. If its energy you need you could drink a little coffee before hand...

I don't need energy for my mind or my will, I just have to make sure my muscles dont burn all glycogen at the beginning and run out of fuel later so no intensity and catabolism.

Cofee is just a stimulant it doesnt add any caloric content.

Your supply of glycogen is not used up within the first half hour of training. Catabolism does not occur this quickly either.

Read points 4, 5, 6 and 9.

You don't need a gainer, just get some BCAA's in you. If you are consuming starchy carbs on a regular basis, you should be fine.
