r-ALA - still unclear

[fiz]

I know lots of people here say it's a great supplement, but to me it seems similar to what people say about glutamine, everyone says it works great but I don't really see any results, physically. I'm just not convinced I guess.

How long have you used it? at what doses? what times? what diet?

I think there are so many factors that come into play, but most effective usage is needed for proper gains.

Thanks.

There is no effective dose that is pegged for people. I would say 100mg R-ala per 30-50g carbs that you take in, that's about as accurate as I can get. I would suggest doing a balanced diet for yourself, the R-ala is just an aid no diet (besides having carbs of course) is highly better than the next.

What would you say is a balanced diet?

I am about to start a cycle of sustenon and EQ.

Stats:
Weight: 218lbs
Height: 5'9''
BF%: 15%(estimate)

Goal:
Weight: 210lbs
BF%: 7-8%

I was thinking about doing:

DIET:
Mon - Thurs: .4 g carbs X LBM, 1.75 g protein X LBM
Fri - Sat: 1g carbs X LBM, 1.3g protein X LBM
Sun: 3g X LBM, 1g X protein
EVERDAY: Flaxseed Oil

Cardio Workout:
Mon-Thurs AM = 1 hour cardio
Fri-Sat AM= 40mins cardio(more intense)

Mon-Fri Weight training in the PM :
1 body part a day.

Let me know what you think?

And if you have a diet written up smilliar to what i need please send it over i would appreciate it.

Thank you very much i appreciate the help.

M56M,

How much fat are you taking in a day:?

and, if you are cycling sust and EQ you need to add daily anti-e's like armidex...

the diet look fine overall, minus the fat part

Mr.X

I am not sure on how much fat i should add, i thought maybe 2-3 tablespoons of flaxseed oil was fine.

Can i also take ALA for fat in my diet, i thought it was also an EFA.

Why do i need arimedx, i mean i have done sust/EQ without arimdex and once the water drops i get ripped, do you think it effects fat loss, would i have gotten more ripped? or do you say that becuase of the holding water doesn't make you 'look' ripped?

BTW, do you have the actual foods listed in a diet breakdown? I know you have written at least a million by now saved somewhere...lol.

Which ones should i eat and when?

Carbs:
Oatmeal
Wheat bread
Mixed vegatables
pasta
dextrose

Protein:
Steak
Chicken
Tuna
Egg whites
Salmon/Fish
What kind of protein shake do you reccomend?? Isopure??

Fats:
Flaxseed
ALA

because water is NOT the only problem, but armomatization is one too. You might gain estrogenic related bodyfat, so I would suggest using anti-e's

I recommend a www.proteinfactory.com mix of whey/caseinate

add 1 tbsp. flaxseed oil 3x a day for now

You already have a good breadown that you listed before:
Mon - Thurs: .4 g carbs X LBM, 1.75 g protein X LBM
Fri - Sat: 1g carbs X LBM, 1.3g protein X LBM
Sun: 3g X LBM, 1g X protein

it looks fine to me

Oh ok, i wasn't aware of that, thank you very much for the insight.

NOW HOW DO I KNOW HOW MANY GRAMS EACH THING HAS, IS THERE A RULE OF THUMB?? I KNOW I CAN CHECK THE FACTS ON THE CARBS, BUT HOW ABOUT SOME THE PROTEIN, HOW DO I KNOW WHAT IS ENOUGH? THAT SEEMS TO BE MY BIGGEST PROBLEM WHEN DOING DIETS, NOT CALCULATING THINGS RIGHT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY FOR NOW, WHEN SHOULD I UP OR DROP THE AMOUNT?

You already have a good breadown that you listed before:
HOW DO I APPLY THIS TO THE FOODS, WITH OUT GOING OVER/UNDER THE SET GRAMS OF EACH THING?
Mon - Thurs: .4 g carbs X LBM, 1.75 g protein X LBM
Fri - Sat: 1g carbs X LBM, 1.3g protein X LBM

Sun: 3g X LBM, 1g X protein
