If you're eating 5 to 6 times a day, eating right and sipping protein, then your body should always be in anabolic state. You'll have plenty of BCAA in you already, digested, predigested, and waiting to be digested. Swallowing another 10g of BCAA powder is redundant. Your body will treat it...

I've been taking Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold standard for 6 years. I thought it had aspartame back then? I quit looking at the label. Now when I looked at it, it uses Acesulfame Potassium on the chocolate flavor. The cappuccino flavor has sucralose added. I'm just curious, when did...

Did you presoak it before you blend it? If you soak raw oatmeal or rolled oats overnight or for about 4 to 5 hours and then blend it with your protein powder, it blends better. It's also easier to digest.

Other than creatine, glutamine and vanadyl, are there any supplements out there that will give you that pump?

Diet and cardio (right after you wake up) is the best combo if you really want to drop those flab fast. If you're too heavy to run, then take a brisk walk for an hour a day every day (nonstop on a treadmill first thing in the morning) even during your lift days. Once you can run, run every...

I'm taking melatonin for sleep aid.

Has anyone tried ZMA? Did it do anything to you? I'm already taking a good multivitamin with plenty of zinc and mg in it. Would ZMA do anything for me? It supposed to increase testosterone doesn't it?

I eat 50g of oatmeal 5 times a day. It's pretty much my only source of carbs. I take simple carbs after workout only. I think I prefer it this way because it gives me constant energy to last through the entire day. I don't have ups and downs. I've been doing this for the last 2 months. I'm...

Glutamine, vitamin C, aspirin, and maybe antibiotics. That's all you can do.

Supposedly, when you take BCAA at least 5g on an empty stomach, it triggers anabolic response. That is true, but I think the effect is so minimal that it's almost nothing. Certainly not worth choking on 5g of this stuff 3 times a day and time it 30 minutes before a meal. If you're eating 5...

What's do you guys think of Dymatize's Elite 12 hour protein? Does it really last 12 hours?

My face broke out when I took tribulus (20% saponins) 625mg 3 times a day. It increased my libido (hornier than usual) and I feel a bit fuller down there. I stopped taking it because it smells bad. My breath and even my urine stenched the whole day while on this. Even an entire tin of...

I'm taking: BCAA creatine glutamine whey multi-vitamins fish oil vitamin C Any other suggestions?

Has anyone tried making chicken loaf made of ground chicken breast, bread crumbs, spices, and 1 egg? How did it turn out? Will it be too dry because there's no oil in this recipe?

Cheese, milk, eggs, yogurt, beans, and nuts. Whey protein are dirt cheap these days and more likely cheaper (protein to dollar ratio) than real food and more convenient.
