re: What supplements do you take?

from what I read back when, I think glutamine has its place when people are cutting and not getting the same amount of protein they're used to

but I remember years ago when people talked about it like it was the ultimate recovery tool

Glutamine is useless.

glutamine helps a lot of people to recover faster.

There is zero evidence glutamine is effective. It's pure bro-science. As I said earlier, if anything Leucine is the necessary supplement. Every collegiate strength coach I've worked with shared these thoughts.

In studies of otherwise healthy humans given glutamine supplementation, it does not appear to enhance the rates of muscle protein synthesis

Just a pre workout for energy and one scoop of protein post workout bc it's cheap

ETA- Nitraflex PWO and TrueNutrition isolate protein

How do you like that nitraflex?

So you'd say creatine is useless and only provides placebo benefits?

Multi vitamin
Vitamin e
Vitamin d
B12
Green tea pills (mainly for some caffeine in the morning)

Pre workout: Attack

My supplement "schedule" is

fish oils and Vitamin D pills in the morning with breakfast.

Preworkout- ON preworkout

Intraworkout - BCAA's

Post workout - whey protein in a shake (with almond milk, almond butter, creatine, banana)

Dinner - I take a Vegetable supplement that gives me a lot of veggies I normally wouldn't otherwise get, although I still eat vegetables throughout the day usually.

Before bed - L-argenine

How good is GX7?
