Back pumps?Originally Posted by liftingson
As long as you're getting 1-1.5g /lbs of protein per day you should have enough taurine in your system. I usually have an energy drink (RockStar Burner) that contains 2g of taurine about 45min-1h preWO and I try to include 3-5g of glutamine if I can. Since doing this I've noticed I get much better pumps at the gym. Placebo ... maybe but that's been my perception since I started this a month ago.Last edited by Barn01; 11-12-2010 at 08:08 PM.

I was taking 5-6grams 3 times a day (15-18grams a day) and that seemed to help the most with back pumps. I was getting strong back pumps. sucky.

OP is running h-drol now, that's why he is taking so much. I was taking 10-12 grams a day and it didn't do anything positive or negative, back pumps were still there. No studies have shown any negative effects of prolonged megadosing of taurine other than how is effects bipolar people.
