Is this supplement regimen ok?

Pre-workout - MP Assault
Intra-workout - Extend BCAA fruit punch
Post-workout - ON gold standard whey
Casein at night, night before workout (I go for 5am)
Also, how long before workout should I take the MP? I usually wake up and within 15 minutes I’m in the gym. Is that too short of time to turn around and start consuming the BCAAs?
I’m on a 4-day split and considering these.

I’m going to be “that guy” for a second and say you don’t need anything more than coffee pre-workout. A lot of that stuff can be awful for your heart. Now with that being said, I just recently came to that conclusion about a year ago as I’ve gotten older. When I took pre, MP Assault worked just fine. However, I’ve taken a bunch of different ones and this is my favorite: 
But anyway....
I don’t think there is any definitive proof that a BCAA supplement really does anything. It’s probably a waste of money. But if you just like to sip on something that has some flavor and is a distraction I think this taste great:
I would, however, take Leucine with your post-workout whey. I think that’s pretty important. It taste like shite though so be ready. This is the one I use:
As for ON Whey that’s a great choice as well as a casein at night. For casein this has been my go-to:

Thanks for the recs, will check those out.
I’m early 40s. What element should I cut out? I don’t see the need to have a pre to wake me up, I’ve been doing fine there. Not trying to get huge either. Just maybe stick to the whet and casein?

I’m 32 just FYI.
Protein, Leucine, and if you want, creatine are the three most necessary components I think to build muscle.
I don’t think it really matters, personally, if you do whey or casein post workout .... but I do think casein is best before bed. If you decide to go with a creatine, just get ON Creatine Monohydrate. You don’t need anything fancy.

I just got on my computer and didn't realize how big the pictures were.

The pre-workout 15 minutes before working out should be fine except when on a full stomach. Which should never be an issue.
I'm not sure the point of an intra-workout when you are getting those same BCAAS before and/or after when you drink whey.

Intra workout drinks are mostly scams. Stick with labels that disclose accurate dosages and reputable brands for preworkouts. Know what the efficacious and clinically backed dosages are for each ingredient in your supplement rotation.
If you are going to do a "intra" workout drink maybe try Xeno EAA/collagen supp from glaxon. They back up their ingredients with linked studies and videos breaking down the intent of the supplement.

I haven't noticed any benefit since I started drinking EAA's intraworkout. I'm also eating 1.5-1.9 grams of protein per pound of body weight so that may be why. I think it's only really useful when you're low on protein or maybe if you have a vegan diet. I suppose if you're working out in a fasted state it may also help too, but I work out in the afternoons.
As far as whey vs casein goes, the only real difference is that casein is digested more slowly than whey. For some people it makes sense to drink casein right before bed for that reason, but if you're not getting quality sleep then it isn't worth it and you should just stick to whey an hour before bed and when you wake up
