A few berries, be it blackberries, blueberries, or raspberries. Then a few sips of water or green tea.
Tried the whole pre-workout stuff before. While I did manage to hit some PRs that I have never managed to reach again, I just don't like putting that stuff in my body. /shrug
Try the magic berries.
I've always read that protein is good to take before a workout. I get my pre workout protein from two hard boiled eggs
I don't know who, or why they would tell you that; but protein has nothing to do with energy. It will not increase anything in a pre situation.

Protein in the stomach just slows you down during a workout. Its best to take in a small amount of carbs along with a moderate amount of protein after a workout. Carbs give you energy, but not if you eat them right before a workout (they'll slow you down more than protein).
I typically eat steel cut outs and two eggs about an hour or two before my workout.
Dietary protein should always be preferrable to protein powders, as with powders you run the risk of overdoing it and just passing it all instead of actually having your body use it. Then again, my body builds muscle very easily, so I really don't need it as much. Just gotta make sure what you're eating is right for you. An hour or two before won't affect you as much, but you should definitely get some protein in right after you workout (let your body cool down a bit if you had a high-intensity workout).
I have scoop of whey and half a scoop of casein along with creatine and glutamine post workout
That definitely seems like it'd do more harm than good.
Why the protein powder

I use a combination of omega shred pills and buzzerk creatine powder. I can feel the buzz and endurance during the workout and I'm barely sore the next day. Good stuff.

Sounds like a recipe for farts.My pre-workout drink:
56g protein power
2-3 Tablespoons instant coffee
16 oz. 2% milk
If I don't have time for all of that, a Red Bull or Monster energy drink seems to work.
