BCAA's...maybe help recovery? I dunno...my back hurts all the time so the only thing that helps there I've found is Celebrex (Don't laugh it actually works!)
Aside from preworkout which is a must for my 430am workouts, I've found everything else to be a waste of money.

I agree with you. Supplements are over hyped and I don't think they play a major role in building strength and muscle. I was off all supplements for a good few months there, and made some pretty solid strides. The fitness industry in general is basically a scam, supplements that are proven to work are banned. All about having a solid diet in place and getting in the gym enough. I get up around the same time for the gym as you, just coffee for me though.
With that said, I did get back on protein and creatine on Saturday. Holding so much water, I'm dying lol.
