It's more of something to try for the few people that are really having issues with mono. I don't have the issues myself so I can't test it myself to see if it helps. Some people have claimed it does. Figure it can't hurt to try





Indeed! I actually just got it a few days ago and started using it today. Some CREATURE. Thanks again That was a very cool promo thread you guys ran.

Thanks great!

Great content here, thanks for this

[mccyjcb]

This is a great thread...I was wasting my money on Glutamine before I came across this thread a couple years ago but I'm just getting around to thanking you. Thanks!

I can't post links. Why?

Just retried Victory One Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and I think it's quite under-rated. I like Quest and Fit Elites CCCD and would say it's pretty much right on par with those flavors but I've always been more a fan of the soft Victory One bars.

I used a combination of these three rankings. Still working my way through some of these and trying them out. Not quite satisfied yet.

Evidence-based recommendations for natural bodybuilding contest preparation: nutrition and supplementation

The popularity of natural bodybuilding is increasing; however, evidence-based recommendations for it are lacking. This paper reviewed the scientific literature relevant to competition preparation on nutrition and supplementation, resulting in the following recommendations. Caloric intake should be set at a level that results in bodyweight losses of approximately 0.5 to 1%/wk to maximize muscle retention. Within this caloric intake, most but not all bodybuilders will respond best to consuming 2.3-3.1 g/kg of lean body mass per day of protein, 15-30% of calories from fat, and the reminder of calories from carbohydrate. Eating three to six meals per day with a meal containing 0.4-0.5 g/kg bodyweight of protein prior and subsequent to resistance training likely maximizes any theoretical benefits of nutrient timing and frequency. However, alterations in nutrient timing and frequency appear to have little effect on fat loss or lean mass retention. Among popular supplements, creatine monohydrate, caffeine and beta-alanine appear to have beneficial effects relevant to contest preparation, however others do not or warrant further study. The practice of dehydration and electrolyte manipulation in the final days and hours prior to competition can be dangerous, and may not improve appearance. Increasing carbohydrate intake at the end of preparation has a theoretical rationale to improve appearance, however it is understudied. Thus, if carbohydrate loading is pursued it should be practiced prior to competition and its benefit assessed individually. Finally, competitors should be aware of the increased risk of developing eating and body image disorders in aesthetic sport and therefore should have access to the appropriate mental health professionals.

Thanks. Figured it would be helpful. Had a few people PM me asking me how they could read up on lots of information without going through useless threads. So this is my solution to help people isolate some of the best threads/posts I've found.

I'm sure others have done similar things, so hopefully we'll collect even more links!

[durgaprasadzone]

thanks info...

Not sure if this qualifies, but for anyone looking for info on a good multivitamin for athletes, check on Athlete Vitamin from Citadel Nutrition. It's a combination of 5 key vitamins/minerals that athletes are generally deficient in, and they link to published trials to back up their findings.

awesome thread,

[henryrega]

Great idea you had here lol, and thanks for all these very informative links. I think I will have to bookmark this page for future references. It will help me get most of the information I need while cutting out search time by more than half.
