I tried Gycerol Fuel because I understand it to help with vascularuty. I took two tablespoons. The taste isn't bad but it's not good either. The one thing it did was make me cough like a mutha. It burned in the back of my throat for about a day and a half. I am glad I only use it for contests!

I took Twinlab Glycerol fuel a few hours before prejudging and again before PM show...didn't do anything for me. Some peope find it helps with fullness and vascularity, others don't... just gotta try it. I've been using the leftover before workouts and I think it's giving me an energy and strength boost. Supposedly it doesn't effect insulin levels the way other carbs do, so I'm thinking it may be useful during low carb contest dieting. Would like to hear other experiences.

it does contain a caloric value of something like 4.32 cals/gram... so watch out there... i got nothing from taking it as well..

Glycerol works pretty well for me. I take the NOW version about 20 hours, 12 hours, and 4 hours before I go onstage for a contest. I mix 2 oz. of glycerol with 2 oz. of water and a scoop of chocolate protein powder(also helps it taste better). It does not work for everyone though, I had a client who it did nothing for. You just have to try it and see.

First time I did it I gulped some down before prejudging and almost threw up right on stage! I learned that you have to start 3 days out from your show for it to "kick in". When I did the NABBA Jr Nationals, I did one tablespoon on Thu, Fri, then 2 tablespoons before leaving for check in and prejudging. It worked great!
