How have the workouts been? Pumps? Vascularity? Energy? Endurance? Crash? Just the basics, want to know how your stack is working for you, surely 5 different supps would be having some great benefits so far. Your thoughts on the stack with continued use, has it improved since day one, have you gotten more used to the taste of the Citrulline?

I gotcha... sorry for dropping the ball. Thanks for letting me know what you wanted though!
I haven't experienced any 'crash' so to speak after taking my own little formulated pre... That's a very nice thing. I do notice the energy levels wearing off after 45 minutes or so, but I get stim tolerant fairly quickly so that may be the cause.
The stack was still bitter before I bought the powerade flavoring, but now that I have that - I LOVE it. It's also convenient to be able to flavor the pre any way I want if I were to buy more flavors... Sure beats opening a whole tub of 1 flavor and having to suffer through it if you don't enjoy it.
I've upped the dose on the citrulline to 3 scoops on my push/pull days to get more of a pump, and boy does it work! I still stick to 1 scoop of citrulline and 1 scoop beta-alanine on leg day because I don't feel like I need that big of a pump for legs... but that's me. I just want my legs to get stronger. Unfortunately I am quite a bit bigger than I'd like to be right now, so vascularity isn't really a factor at the moment.... definitely don't have any veins popping or anything.
The stack has definitely gotten a lot better. I realize what I can do with it - mix and match with my different workout days.... if its a hypertrophy day and I want more pump.... more citrulline (and a little extra beta)... and on strength days when I just need a lot more energy I can mix and match there too, and even increase caffeine dose to help push through. Formulating my pre to fit my workout is something that hasn't crossed my mind until earlier this week... it just sort of clickedMuscleTech Clear Muscle 12 Week Log. 1/5/2015-4/5/2015 http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=165852691&p=1328326511#post1328326511

I've also been taking 2-3 yohimbine w/ caffeine tabs before I hit cardio at night as well and that helps me push through. Hopefully it's helping me burn some fat as well!

After taking yesterday off, I hit back and biceps today
I didn't want to take any caffeine/yohimbine today so I just used the powerade zero flavoring, 2 scoops citrulline, 2 scoops beta-alanine, and 1 scoop glutamine for the pre ...and surprisingly I don't think I need any stims to workout. The tingles got me amped up, and once I started hitting my arms, the pump got me feeling energized as well. Overall I'd say 10/10 for not using the caffeine/yohimbine in the pre.
For back I did lat pulldowns to start.
120 warmup x 10
160 x 6
180 x 3
200 x 1 (needed help to get it all the way down)
Lawnmower pulls
80's x 5 each hand
85's for 4
85's for 2
Seated row (instead of using the cable machine - I used a machine where you could put plates on it)
45 each side for warmup
45 + 25 each side for 5
45 + 45 each side for 4
45 + 45 + 25 for 3
Biceps
Preacher curl bar w/ 90 pounds
6
6
4
Hammer curls w/ 50's
3 sets of 5
Regular curls with 25's until failureMuscleTech Clear Muscle 12 Week Log. 1/5/2015-4/5/2015 http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=165852691&p=1328326511#post1328326511
