the GAINS thread

[Dwarflord]

i meant to say while eating it reduced the urge to smoke ( huge reason people eat a ton after quitting )

Dunno about pie oats but im going to say drugs or chomps hormone pill

[kaizersoze]

Im curious what kind of sups other people take. I use carnitine 3x a day, glutamine 2 / 3x, creatine an hour (roughly) before working out and a preworkout. Seems to work well for me.

[Dwarflord]

i think there was some study that said glucosamine didnt do anything. I dont know if thats similar to glutamine.

I tried several supplements and i didnt see any difference and only take a L Argenine pill and optimal nutrition whey

supposedly my buddy told me BCAAs only last 30 mins so you have to take it then workout or eat it right after.

i tried the primer jeff mentioned KAGE and it gave me a horrible headache, i think it had too much caffeine in it

If someone has something that works well post a link ill try anything once.

Bcaa's and creatine before, protein shake without carbs after, preferably whey isolate or ultramyosin whey.

I do not supplement (much). I focus on a diet of plants and animals with a strict aversion to grains and tubers. Pre-workouts for me include black coffee, green tea, the occasional dab of baking cocoa powder (unsweetened) and sometimes a tisp or two of APPLECIDERVINEGAR.

I like to breakfast POST-workout with a solid serving of LEAN protein, a bowel of broccoli and a handful of cherry tomatoes. Sometimes I'll throw in a few highly processed grain products if I'm feeling knotty or overly rundown. I'll relax my foudtine in to throttle stress accumulation tho.


GAINZ UPDATE: Yesterday was BACK, boys. Been going hard for GAINZ in the recovery department. That means light in the gym, cold and work and HEAVY on the heat, rest and SLAPE. Dropped another # and arms holding hard under the tape. BF down, energy, mood and aesthetics UP. Feelin good dudes.

I use Nitr-OX Elite series for my preworkout. Its a non stim pre workout so no caffeine, just an amazing pump and focus.

I'm usually very supportive of non-stim preworkouts, in fact that's all I use and preach about, but I don't see anything aside from amino acids and something that's supposed to increase hydration (but the dose probably isn't high enough to be significant)

I use an no3 non-stim powder and I love it. You could probably benefit from that in combination with what you're taking if you want a little extra pump and support

Two reigns (monsters knock off bangs) and a 7” pulled pork sub today.

184.8 this morning. My horribad 1 sub a day diet has been pretty effective for losing weight / maintaining 185ish.

Mead I know I asked before but link what you use again. I’m gonna try it after I finish out my container of Spark (which isn’t great, 120 mg of caffeine puts me to sleep)

forget what I said for now, I got some more research to do apparently

it's just really hard to find facts on this stuff

citruline malate may act as a precursor to nitric oxide
