Glycerine

Does anyone know wether taking glycerine with water will lower your core temp. and thus improve athletic performance? Or anything about taking glycerine in general?
 
I have like 10 bottles of D-Ribose I'd let go for around $10 each. I think Glycerin probably has decent effects, it increases water absorption which could potentially help an athlete.
 
I posted about this a few weeks ago.
I belive it can improve vascularity by drawing water in to the muscles.
As for hydration levels: I never really got a clear answer on that.
Anyone?
 
Well I tried it (about three tablespoons) and 3 quarts of water and by the next day I was up like 6 pounds and full of water. I talked to someone who says that it does keep you cooler....
 
d-ribose is good to take with creatine as a transport mechanism, but beyond that i don't know that it has another purpose. Glycerol supplements will hydrate the muscle because they draw the water into the muscle. hope that helps-josh
 
EG:
well at 330 pounds and around 14% bf I ain't razor sharp....lol

no, i just felt a noticeable increase in water retention and it actually felt pretty good.

I have heard a couple people say it lowers core temp, and I know the hydration thing works, so it is a success in that sense, again these are more noticeable effects for a perfomance athlete as opposed to an aesthetic athlete

thanks crmdogg, I ran a Journal of Applied Phys search and found that ribose actually increased the amount of nucleotides which actually is a good thing as far as the rate at which a muscle contracts. this is for an athlete more than a bb obviously, but I am going to give it a try and I will post my experience.
 
I know this may sound strange but I was thinking of using Glycerin when I go on holiday to Ibiza.
The thing is ,when I'm out there, I go out and can be dancing for like 4-5 hours at a time. Sometimes outdoors.
This results in major dehydration, overheating and poor endurance.
So.......
I was thinking: would using Glycerine help me out in this situation? Would it help me keep hydrated?

El Gaucho is espanol for.... THE GAUCHO! lol

Anyway, I think taking glycerin for that purpose would be a bit of overkill. Just drink some bottled water or something and you should be fine.
 
Oooh....why did you have to ruin my fun.
I like self experimenting.
I should be close to 6% body fat when on holiday, so I'm thinking the glycerol trick will bring out my vascuarity some?
Here is the trick:
The night before I will mix up 1 cup of red wine and 50 ml of glycerine and sip this before going to bed. This helps to fill out the muscles. Glycerine temporarily draws water inside the muscle cells making them fuller. I will have the wine and glycerine again early the following morning. Glycerine is also a mild laxative, so it will help eliminate any bloating.

I'm not 100% sure that glycerol is going to be everything you make it out to be. It's a cheap supplement, so if you dont get good results, you're not out much, but I read some study that was saying that glycerines supposed athletic benefits may have been greatly exaggerated throughout the suppl. industry.

I also seriously doubt retaining water would ever make one "more vascular". At 6% BF, you should be vascular as fuck anyway (and be showing a 6 pack for sure).
 
been out of town for a couple....el gaucho....the argentinian cowboy

I wouldn't try the glycerine thing in the way you described...too easy to end up bloated and shitting your brains out

I would mix a liter of pedyalite and 2 liters of water and drink throughout the day especially if you are drinking, this should keep you well hydrated.
 
Thanks bros. You may be right. I dunno how effective the glycerol trick is cos I don't know anyone who's tried it pre-contest.
What is pedyalite by the way?
