oh shit, how's that GH/EQ cycle going, how far into it are you? Intrested.
I started a fina @110/eod, eq @ 400/wk stack. At wk 4 I had blown up a sick amount (20#). I did not want to get that big. I was bloated and unhappy. I am an athlete and it was not working for me. I dropped the fina and subed gh. I am now in week 9 and loving it. I am strong as fuck and ripped. I have tested as low as 6.25% in the past. I would guess that right now I am between 7-8% @ 198-200#. So I am up about 13 # and I dumped a little bf as well. I am going to end the eq next wk and stay on the gh for at least another 2 months.

Why are there people out there that continue to believe that supplementary glutamine will have any effect wahtsoever on protein synthesis and cell volume? There has never ever been one single study to demonstrate measurable results from anyone other then bed-ridden, post-traumatic, seriously ill folks.

ok so basickly dextrose, malto, ultra fuel are the most popular carb drinks right after a slin injection. what r your guys thought's on a good ole can of coke??? if useing arround 4-6ius. and not just the coke,cause u need 10carbs per iu, so we will fill the rest in with something.

Re: Not related to slin but...
Here is a thread created by Huck. But in my opinion, I feel less sore, I recover faster, and dont get sick as much when I use glutamine. Also, when training glutamine is used up first, and is used when other aminos arent available. Supplementing with glutamine can only help. It is amazing when used with slin. I feel a huge difference when I take slin with glutamine and creatine. If I dont add those two, I dont get as much out of my slin.

Why Glutamine should be a part of every BB'S arsenal...
The term 'bodybuilding' is somewhat of a misnomer.Although that is the end result we are striving to achieve,for the most part what we,as athletes are doing is 'bodytearingdown'.Weight training itself is a catabolic process in a direct sense,as we are tearing down muscle fibers,and putting our nervous system and immune system under tremendous stress.Proper nutritional feeding mechanisms following these traumatic events is CRUCIAL to our success in undoing the damage and forwarding our systems into adaptation.One key element in forwarding these adaptative processes is an often overlooked and underappreciated non-essential(although it should be classified as essential to athletes,lol)amino acid-GLUTAMINE.What makes glutamine so important to us as bodybuilders?Well,just off the top of my head I will list several actions of glutamine that will have direct impact on your bodybuilding progress/recovery/overall health.Here's some of this powerful macronutrients influences in the human body:
*Increases T-Lymphocyte cell(immune-system boosting)cell proliferation...
*Augments the bacterial-killing functions(known as phagocytosis) of neutrophins,also known as leukocytes,which have a voracious appetite for microbial bacteria...
*Enhances liver GLUTATHIONE(which is a very potent anti-oxidant)stores and lowers hepatic(liver)enzyme elevations(which will obviously be of tremendous benefit to all oral 17aa consumers)...
*Promotes glycogen synthesis and storage within the muscle cell.
*Stimulates protein synthesis/inhibits protein degradation...
*Acts as a muscle cell volumizer(increases fluid/macronutrient capacity within the cell)...
Outside of Creatine Monohydrate,this nutrient should be second of importance on the 'to-purchase' list for physical augmentation.It does not give the dramatic,instant-gratification effects like creatine,but as you can see,it's overall mechanisms toward improving health/recovery/cell processes vital to bodybuiling are far reaching...I would recommend the peptide forms over the L forms as they are pre-digested,and pass the intestinal wall into the blood stream much more efficiently.

I am sooo glad this got replies. I was thinking about this thread today, but didn't take the time to do a search for it.
I have been taking Skim Milk w/ an MRP after my Insulin shot. Immediately with the Slin, I've been drinking a glass of grape juice, followed by the MRP a few minutes later.
I believe milk is something like 80% water anyway, right? I don't see how skim milk is so much more slow to be digested and get the nutrients passing on their way?
Maybe I'm over-do'ing it on my carbs post-insulin, but I get about 60 grams from my grape juice then the sugars in the milk and MRP combine to be about another 20.
I've felt no hypo symptoms, either, thus far and I'm already feeling "fuller" only 5 days in.

Yes but all of the wonderful anti-catabolic and imuno-inhancing properties of glutamine have never been demonstrated in healthy weight training athletes. These benefits are only seen in bed-ridden seriously ill folks. Remember couple years ago the "study" which showed an enormous increase in plasma GH levels after ingesting a soft-drink with 5or so grams of glutamine in it? It was a complete fraud, funded by a supplement company (can't remember which one).
The only proven effect of glutamine administration post-cycle is one thing: the typical post-workout decrease in plasma glutamine levels is much less severe. Does this have any tangible benefit to the athlete? Not one single study has yet to conclude one.

Ice, I think you are a very intellegent person! BUT, I think you put way to much weight on scientific studies. As I stated, I feel the difference when I use glutamine. Maybe its a plecebo effect, who knows. I like it as well as many others. As for anti-catabolic and imuno-enhancing properties in healthy weight training athletes...I feel those effects! I dont get as sore when I'm on it, I dont get sick when I'm on it, and I just feel better.
I'm not saying that everyone should run out and buy glutamine because I like it, but in retrospect, you shouldnt tell everyone its a waste because you can not find an abstract that proves you should buy it!

With the athletes I have consulted, I personally have not recommended that nutritional supplements, like glutamine or creatine, should be taken.
I guess I'm from the old school when these supplements were not available. I feel the positive effects of these particular products have been blown out of proportion by the parent companies as well as the media.
The results, both scientifc and real-world, have been incinsistent and inconclusive to say the least.
Some swear that these products have improved their abilities and results however where these athletes taking anabolics at the same time? Did their training patterns and intensity increase? Did their caloric intake increase? There may have been other chages that caused the results.
I have always recommended an athlete is better off consuming ONE extra meal per day rather than spending their time and money on these nutritional supplements.
There are three major factors that will increase physical results in an athlete:
1. Nutrition
2. Training style and intensity
3. Anabolic Steroids
Everything else shares such a small piece of the pie that it is really not even worth mentioning.
With that being said, I will never deter people from taking these products as long as they remain intelligent and safe in their usage.
