So today was my first workout A1 It takes a lot out of you!!! Holy shite! The first two exercises you are going all rawr on trying to lift like a mother@#$#@, but then when I got to dips I couldn't believe how fatigued my triceps were and completing a few sets really went to failure quick (and my definition of failure is when unable to complete a lift with correct form). By the time I got to doing barbell rows I was actually thankful they were just straight sets instead of the rest pause failure set. The stretching hurts...a lot...but it's a good feeling. Today was a success for day 1, and on wednesday I will start my B1 program. Onward and upward!

I’m so glad I got the pharma caber from this guys. It’s unreal. I’ve never ran caber but im running tren at 1150mgs and it’s keeping my gyno completely suppressed!! Keep the Caber coming

I thought I was the only crazy that ran tren that high?

I use this as well minus the tanning, using the rowing machine for 10-15 minutes before my work outs gets my body awake heart pumping and joints moving. I also use loaded stretching (don’t know the technical term) prior to starting a work out again use this to get muscles awake and joints moving

You can just throw them in

I take glutamine in my morning greens shake simply to help improve gut health...supposed to be good for that reason

Depends where you are in your training and diet cycle. If you're bulking or in a maintenance phase preworkout cardio is great. If I'm eating in a surplus I don't have to worry about emptying the tank from a 20 min run prior to working out. Some cardio gets your heart rate going, gets your muscles loose, it's great preworkout of you're eating right.

Today is the first day of my offseason training. Since my show in June, i've been going at a pace where I can say it's just to maintain, just getting into the gym, trying different things out, but eventually burned out from never taking a break. I took a full 2 weeks off in August and started back up two weeks ago with renewed focus, getting the kinks out of my muscles for soreness, and now I started my approach over the next 12 weeks. I am doing Doggcrapp (DC) training. I have my three upper body, and lower body days labelled below as a start - and as I tinker with how my body feels I will adapt and replace exercises to become stronger and to stimulate more as needed. I expect to have failures, success, shitty training days, great training days, days where i'm in limbo. I will update the log as I do my days and thoughts and feelings and hope you guys go along for the ride. Currently sitting at 225 lbs; 20 lbs up from stage weight. Lost some mass, have fat on me, but look healthy anyway. Time to get large!!

Glutamine is at the top of my "standard issue" group of supplements, meaning it's not an option. If you train hard and you're serious about growing, it's a given that you should be taking supplemental glutamine. I assume you're getting the vitamin/mineral and antioxidant insurance you need by taking a qualitymultivitamin/multimineral pack in addition to eating a wide variety of healthy foods, including plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. I also figure you're getting the protein you need (at least a gram [g] per pound of lean bodyweight per day, and preferably 1 g or more per pound of total bodyweight). If you could buy only one supplement to support muscle growth, it should be glutamine, not creatine. In fact, if the primary source of protein in your diet is whole foods (rather than supplements), it’s even more important that you supplement your diet with glutamine. Surprised? Don’t be. Creatine is the most popular supplement for fast mass and strength gains, and it’s a standard issue in most cases. Taking 5 g per day without any loading is plenty to keep the muscles flushed with high-test contractile fuel, while fully supporting recovery and growth over the long term. Glutamine, however, is unquestionably the most amazing, versatile and cost-effective supplement you can take. I’ll get to the why and how shortly, but the bottom line is that you shouldn’t have to make a choice between glutamine and creatine. Although few people can afford every supplement they’d like to take, even a daily dose of 20 g of glutamine shouldn’t set you back more than a buck, tops. You should be able to keep plying the creatine as well without getting a second job or pawning your guitar.> WHY YOU NEED GLUTAMINE Here's a brief, but convincing, list of reasons why you should supplement with glutamine. 1) Your body can't make enough of it when you're training hard. Glutamine is an amino acid: one of the building blocks of protein. It's classified as a "conditionally essential" amino, meaning that, although the body can make glutamine from a variety of precursors like the branched-chain aminos, it can't always make enough to satisfy the body's needs. The shortages occur during various types of diets and when stress levels are elevated due to illness, injury, surgery, hard or prolonged exercise, etc. 2) Glutamine can be considered the controlling amino acid for muscle growth. During times of stress, glutamine is released from muscle, which is the major site for its synthesis and storage. This happens because glutamine is more critical to other tissues of the body that cannot make it, including cells of the immune system and the intestine. When glutamine leaves muscle, the muscle begins to dehydrate. Dehydration, in turn, leads to muscle protein catabolism. Raising glutamine levels in the body leads to increased cell hydration and greater protein synthesis, both of which drive muscle growth. 3) It is essential for optimal immune function. This function is the most critical key to recuperation and repair of musculoskeletal tissues. Furthermore, a healthy immune system enables you to train hard without the interruptions of minor, but nonetheless frustrating, colds and viruses. 4) Glutamine enables you to train harder. Glutamine does this not only by improving recovery, but also by acting as a buffer for fatigue-inducing acids inside muscle. 5) Glutamine can enhance brain function. You may be unaware of the relationship between brain chemistry and muscle growth, but there definitely is one. For example, glutamine can boost the level of neurotransmitters such as gamma amino butyric acid (GABA), which supports relaxation and recovery, among other things, and can even increase growth hormone secretion. I bet you like the sound of that. 6) You can't get enough glutamine from your food. Even if your diet is high in protein, you still won't get enough glutamine. Sure, you get some glutamine from your diet since it makes up 4-8% of most food proteins (with the highest concentrations in milk, meat and some nuts). However, a high-protein diet derived mainly from whole foods (as opposed to supplements) may actually lead to decreased availability of some amino acids (glutamine among them) potentially causing reduced muscle protein synthesis. Adding supplementary glutamine can help correct any relative deficiency, as well as increase the amount and efficiency of protein synthesis. 7) Glutamine is the major energy source for many critical intestine cells. Taking care of those cells not only helps ensure better digestion and absorption of nutrients, but safeguards the enormous contribution the gut makes to the immune system. You can't minimize the importance of this. So there you have Glutamine 101: the basics of why you need this amazing supplement. Start using it now you'll thank me for it later. HOW TO USE GLUTAMINE • What kind of glutamine should I take? Take either or both the free-form amino acid (L-glutamine) or the more stable peptide-bonded form found in some protein supplements and meal replacement powders. How much should I take? • Suggested amounts range from 5 to 40 g per day. For significant effects, 8-10 g per day is the minimum suggested dose; theoretically, even 5 g per day may be effective in small athletes. When using the free-form amino, start with 4 or 5 g (a slightly rounded teaspoon) two or three times a day. Depending on your size, how hard you're training or cutting calories, and how much glutamine you're getting in other supplements, adjust the dose upward over a period of a week or two. When should I take it? • You can take glutamine every day, after waking, before training, after training, before going to bed and between meals, preferably on a empty stomach, since glutamine is sensitive to stomach (and other) acids, as well as to heat. There's no need to cut back or cycle in glutamine. How should I ingest it? • Each dose should be 5-10 g. Simply put it on your tongue and swallow with a swish of water or low-acid juice. If you prefer, you can add it to a protein drink, provided the drink is low in fat and will pass through the stomach quickly enough to limit exposure to stomach acid. Some glutamine supplements come in capsules, and you should follow the same direction for that form, as well. Is glutamic acid the same thing as glutamine? • No, Don't mistake glutamic acid or glutamate for L-glutamine. They're not the same substances and will definitely not produce the same effects. Read labels and accept only products that clearly identify glutamine as the free-form or peptide-bonded version.

i mix the two and also beg to differ, i see more definition and tighter muscles when higher reps are used...every BODY is different as we all know

I agree with this. Funny hearing guys at the gym talk about this shit and how serious they are when they say they’re doing light weight high reps to get cut lol.

Thankyou very much hun...

You give some great advice. I'm going to show my wife this as well.

Awesome, guna share this with my lady!

Good day all ? Recognize some familiar names from NM. Glad to be here ?

I second that!

Orders with BT are quick! I get my packages within 48 hours. I love that I get a tracking number as well. BT runs business smoothly. Always packaged incredibly well. Labelling looks nice. I’m always happy with the quality of product.

I've used Cyto Greens quite a bit. I also used the Genuine Health Greens+. I'd recommend either one of them.

I am definitely going to follow this! ?

Hello Guner OD

Hey, I was a long time creeper on the other site. I never really posted anything....now I guess its time to give back. My main reason for finding NM and NL was for TRT - testosterone replacement therapy. I Believe I was low in T my whole adult life, had extreme anxiety, low confidence, low outlook on life. I found it hard to gain muscle until I started my first cycle. (mind you I was working out since high school with minimal to show for it) While on my first cycle I felt at peace...or at Zen lol... in the glorious house of GAINS. My anxiety went away and confidence shot up. My doctor gave me 3 blood tests about a year and a half ago and my testosterone was crashed. Came in at 8.6 , 6.1 and 8.1. While checking some of my old tests from when I was in my early twenties I also had a very low test result. AAAANYWAYS my numbers were "within range" and the doc didn't feel the need to supplement test. WHICH IS A LOAD OF HORSESHIT. I was supplementing my energy with 3 double doubles a day as I work a pretty hard construction job. The high caffeine led to a number of other problems as my sleep was getting fucked up. So instead of offing myself I took matters into my own hands and got my own test. I got a couple of vials from a shit lab/over power lab and had some of the most violent zits on my backs. They gave me the finger and dropped gang signs when i popped them. Then I decided to switch forums and found a way better supply which I felt was properly dosed, zero pip and zero sides at a TRt dose I have found a shit ton of new info for TRT that i have found value in and I will share later today/ this weekend. I can't wait for others feedback / discussion on some points I have found. I hope it helps people and adds to peoples protocol. I am also trying to conceive with my wife and it is not going well so I can also add some points for fertility while on trt. Also, I promised my rep )6 months ago) to do some reviews and I will also complete later today.. ANyways off to work... Have a good day

Hey Guner, nice to see you over here!

Welcome aboard guner good to have you here...

So I learned my lesson well not to chase down dnp with liquid and I actually bought some capsules and started actually packing 200mg in the capsules worked like a charm. So I am on day 4 with dnp right now and a little bit of the night sweats during the day obviously the temperature rising a bit but nothing excessive even my last run when I did it I really didn't actually over sweat like some people experience but then I'm also not taking a huge dose either.

Welcome bud

Welcome...

It’s 10mg. I’ve used it this summer. I was darker then I’ve ever been. People thought i left for vacation.

really glad to hear you and so many others are happy with the products and service! We take great pride in remaining the best! It is a passion of ours! SSP
