If you have ever supplemented DHEA or L-Arginine please post your results with them. Bad or good please post...I will rep in return. Here is my supp stack...the two supps I got from ordered from an institute so they are pure forms of the supps.
400mg DHEA daily
5000mg L-Arginine (twice daily)
I have noticed I am angered a little easier and have great erections, but I am looking to gain mass on this. Can anyone post their results for the supps?

you need a bonded arginine supplement... unless you take the l-arginine with carbohydrate drink... otherwise it does a poor job absorbing in your system... thats why most NO supps use akg

what is your age? i think you'll be disappointed with it as far as gaining any muscle from it as a cutter dhea + an anti e shows promise. your aggression may be do to estrogenic mood swings. dunno?

I don't believe you will see any muscle gains on DHEA. DHEA has it's place and is good for several things, but building mass is not one of them. Although, high doses can cause hair loss and in some cases, gyno.

Really, you picked two worthless supplements for strength/lean mass gains. Arginine might give you a temporary pump in the gym, but that is about all. I'd do some reading around the boards and pick up some different things. A good place to start is creatine monohydrate. Probably cheaper than the two you listed, and proven effective over time.*SCC*

l-arginine-big viens, good pump feeling......thats it really.
DHEA-doesnt do much. it can actually convert into estrogen and that is not what u want. i have seen older people like it. they say they get a good pump out of it. they also stack it w/ an AI.

well I am passed the "start out with some creatione monohydrate" stage like someone suggested above. i went to a known doctor for the supplements and got them shipped in. They are supposed to be an excellent form. I have noticed great vascularity with 5000mg of L-Arginine twice daily. 200mg of Dhea has provided 3 lbs in about 2 and a half weeks. I actually had my conversion rate tested and it was very, very high. 95% of my DHEA goes into testosterone.Originally Posted by aguy0523

i used arginine for the "sexual" benefits ,it help make sperm ,resulting in more intense,longer orgasms,as well as firmer erections as your experiencing
i started using dhea for the hell of it awhile ago,and for like 3 weeks had results like this:better mood(happier,more focused)...kind of aggresive a bit,i noticed i recoverd more quicker

Doesn't L-arginine clear the body of fatigue toxins like ammonia and others and theoretically more stamina means more reps means intern more muscle right?

LOL....I call total bulls%6t on this one. You'd be the first and only specimen in history to have 95% of DHEA converting to testosterone.Russell Wilson, the first QB in NFL history to throw a game-winning interception.

more reps doesnt mean anything cept more strength/endurance,it will help with vascularity as well,getting more oxygen flowing
just becouse you get more reps means nothing till you get the food to repair what you have torn

LOL.......to hell with injecting test, I'll just get a gram of DHEA, that'll convert to 950mg of testosterone after all...........that sounds like supplement company logic to me.

Most studies show that DHEA is most effective after the age of 50 since natural DHEA declines with age.
Its not really recommended for younger individuals.seated rows before hoes
