Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

im bored, so im gona post an article on l-glutamine and see what comes from it...

"After hearing some great stuff about L-Glutamine, I decided to start using it about 6 months ago. First off, it is not any real big serious supplement. No side effects or anything. It doesn't make you bigger or stronger or give you energy or burn fat or do anything like that, yet, it could be one of the most useful supplements. Let me explain...

L-Glutamine is an amino acid, just like protein. It is the most abundant free amino acid in muscle tissue, and it plays a principal role in protein metabolism, cell volumizing, and anti-catabolism. Yes, lots of big fancy words, however, "anti-catabolism" is the reason that I started to use it and continue to do so. Catabolism is the breaking down of your muscles, which is something that you don't want to happen. Doing cardio or aerobic activity could have a catabolic effect on your muscles. Your body needs something to burn for energy when you jog, run, walk, ride a bike, jump rope, take an aerobics class or do any other form of cardio, and sometimes your body uses your own muscle for energy. This is where L-Glutamine comes in. Since it is an "Anti-catabolic" it will allow you to maintain as much muscle as possible and prevents muscle cell breakdown.

Most people find that L-Glutamine comes in handy the most when they are in their cutting up phase (which is when I originally started to take it) or any time when you are trying to lose fat. During this phase, you are trying to lose fat, but at the same time you are trying to maintain as much muscle as possible which is why L-Glutamine can be extremely useful for anyone trying to lose fat and keep as much muscle as they can.

Another thing that you should know about L-Glutamine is that you are probably already taking it. How? Well, if you are taking any kind of whey protein supplement, then chances are you are already taking L-Glutamine since just about all whey protein supplements include a few grams of it in each serving. Designer Protein Powder has about 2 grams per serving in it already. However, this supplement will be most effective when taking about 10-15 grams total each day, with the most effective times first thing in the morning, before you go to bed, and directly after your workout. Try to divide the 10-15 grams of L-Glutamine during those times (or maybe just 2 of those times).

Also, it comes in the powder and capsule form. However I use and recommend the powder form because it will save you lots of money. Don't worry about the taste either, L-Glutamine is completely tasteless and odorless and can be mixed with anything including water."

ok thats all i got, its an interesting read nonetheless?

Glutamine is a very highly debatable topic. It's really hard to know what the real truth is when so many "experts" have such different opinions.
