From my searches i see that apples and bannanas are the most popular for pre-workout, but im a picky fruit eater and hate both of them.
Would having some raisins and some dried apricots be just as good?

It won't be as good, because they are actually higher in the Glycemix Index, raisins and an apircot would be great post-workout to spike insulin levels. But don't get me wrong, I'm sure you won't see much of a difference bro, they will definitely give you some good energy, make sure you take them pre and post!

at your weight you should worry most about caloric intake. Train Hard, Sleep well, and eat harder. After getting good variety in your diet, aim for a caloric surplus, if your metabolism is fast get a larger one. IMO over thinking pre workout food is a killer. Eat 2 hours before you lift, then thirty minutes before or doing. Just eat you will gain muscle.

imho is not obligatory fruit in pre wo. you can eat bread or other carbs source.
(in my opinion is non obligatory to have a pre wo at all, but that's another story )Bestial life and not the human pleased me, like the mule I was.

I would say PWO since the Glucose-fructose ratio is almost 3:1 for dried apricot and 1:1 for raisins which means you can restore liver glycogene and muscle glycogene.
But, they should be fine pre-WO as they are carb-loaded.

i believe the going senses is pre workout is not important at all, during workout maybe some bcaa's because they do not need to digest and then have some protein for sure and maybe carbs if you like post workout.
