Hello,

I dont know if this thread is the right place to ask this question.
I purchased two packs Animal CUTS. Can you please tell me the best time/way to take the CUTS? I mean, before/with/after meal.

Just be careful taking this on an empty stomach, especially if you are at all sensitive to caffeine. This is a heavily-dosed stimulant product and can cause you to feel jittery or have an upset stomach if you take it without food.

Why CLA is junk?
Should I trash it and take only L-carnitine?

I tried some water cut and thermoreducer as fat burnerm but i didn't see any effect on me...

[ben3434]

so i bought some cheap six star creatine. idc i put in work in the gym and kitchen and dont feel the need to splurge on supps. but anyays my question is this : i was going to load the first 5 days 20 g of this stuff then go to 5 a day but i remember jim stoppani saying that you only need to load mono. this is a mono hcl blend of 8 g per 33g serving. do i load as i would if it were all mono or what ??

Does creatine offer any benefits for strength gains, or does it just make your muscles swell up ? Thanks

What's the difference between peptides and peptide creams? Do they have the same effects just taking more time ?

[91yates]

What is the major difference with the two and the effect on the body when you can get both types in normal petide doses and a cream????

I read around here about Glutamine and dosage.
I read 2 article and the first write to take 5 gr 2-3 time a day (10-15 gr daily).
The second one write to take 20-30 gr daily amd on training day to take 10gr preWO - 10gr duringWO - 10 gr postWO

What is the right dosage?



About Casein protein.
There are a lot of protein fro the "Night Time"- "BedTime" "Slow Digesting" etc..
but i read about taking micellar casein before to go to sleep is useless because during sleep time ther is no catabolism.
Is it true???

Hey Krissy!

What is the bioavailability of pasteurized egg whites?
Egg's are not the best cooked, and are junk raw. So where does pasteurized stand up? I have never seen an actual study on them.

Anything on this krissy?

Question re: glycogen depletion and muscle replenishment. Is stacking glucose with whey protein after a strength training workout (avg 45 minute workout) actually beneficial or harmful toward overall goal of fat burning? If beneficial, what kind of sugar is best for replenishment - glucose, dextrose, maltodextrin? Does a following low/no carb diet like Paleo influence the answers to these questions?

[Trevydub]

I'm new to this site and I might be posting my question in the wrong place so please forgive me if I am.
What supplements should I use if I have to combine strength training and cardio in the same session? And does it matter if I do cardio first or strength training first?

[ShahaFar]

My question is, I drink an 8oz pre workout shake with 5g of creatine and 60g whey protein with oatmeal in it plus i drink a 8oz post workout shake with 5g of creatine 60g of protein and eat a banana. The Lee Labrada program tells me to eat my meal within 45 minutes of the workout. Well, i'm not hungry at that time obviously because of all the protein. What do you suggest that i do in this situation. I'm told not to substitute whey protein in place of a healthy meal.

[heno9]

hello

[Muayad]

[kwong486]

Can you confirm these beliefs for me, and correct if needed?

1. Supplementation is useless if your diet is not well planned and executed. E.g. Macros and micros are great.

2. If you are lacking in some parts of your diet, supplements help. E.g. You can't afford to eat salmon every other night for dinner. Ergo, fish pills. (joke)

3. It's hard to have a "perfect" diet, so many resort to supplements to help.

I only ask because I have friend sin the fitness business CONSTANTLY posting about bcaas I'm their water and all sorts of other nonsense and I always think to myself "why can't you just fix your diet?" but I'm afraid to say that because I'm a banker and supposedly have no knowledge on anything because I work with numbers and not food.

[kwong486]

This should probably be unstickied or assigned to someone else lol

[HydrationAny]

What studies are there about impacts of proper hydration on the utility of supplements? How does drinking water affect supplement adsorption etc? Very interested in this topic.

[RippedMcnasty]

This one is for any and everyone. Im very skinny 5'8 and 148.6 pounds.
But i want to get bigger and gain mass. I understand dieting is a big part of it i already know that much.
But my question is what is in your opinion the best protein powder to help build mass.

[TysonPrince]

That's really very kind of you to do that, thank you so much

[idigautoo]
