Is glutamine Shit what do you think?
- Thread starter pureplaya616
- Start date
Hello all, this is my first post.
I'm a six foot, 200 pound bodybuilder. I feel I have to say something about the Glutamine debate.
I've made good gains over the years, but found myself at a plateau for the last six months or so.
I have always consumed 250 - 300 grams of quality protien every day (mostly powdered milk, eggs, tuna) and I keep up on carbs and essential fatty acids.
I had recently read a scientific, controlled study in FLEX attesting to Glutamines immediate effect on testosterone levels.
It said that taking 5 grams of Glutamine with water only and on an empty stomach ALWAYS sent test levels way up there, and kept them up for 20 to 60 minutes.
I started taking these Glutamine shots during the day between meals and over the last month I've seen wicked gains.
Happy as hell to bust out of that plateau, but lately all I read is that Glutamine is bunk.
My question is ... has anyone read that article in FLEX or any similar studies on Glutamines effect on test levels?
and - can glutamine be taken with creatine or do they compete for absorption?
Thanx, I've really enjoyed all the info you guys spout.
Later.

No, it was actually blood levels of testosterone that shot up dramatically, but the effect only occured when the glutamine was taken with just water. Add any other sugers or carbs and there was little to no effect. I'm gonna hunt down that article because it was heavily referenced and looked legit. It wasn't some Muscle-Tech add.
And by shots I meant like in Tequila.
The study was showing how a person could naturally pulse levels of this anabolic hormone, if only for a brief surge, but every time they tested the subjects blood ... it worked without fail.
Anyway, I tried it and I've been making highly noticeable gains for over three weeks.
I'll find that article, but if anyone else has heard of a glutamine - testosterone connecting I'd like to hear about it.
Happy Holidays all.

Even if Glutamine did increase your T levels for 30-60 minutes I do not see how that would benefit you except maybe a quickie in the sack with your woman.
The only way that there is an anbolic benefit is if T levels are raised for at least 12 hours.

I see. On a related topic, does anyone think Tribulus has any real effect on T levels? I know lifters who megadose this herb and claim to reap great benefits, even roid like side effects. I've even read that it should be cycled to avoid messing up the brain-balls connection.
And wouldn't any possible boosting of blood testosterone levels be valuable to a bodybuilding lifestyle? Even if just for an hour or so between meals on a regular basis?

RW...I have never heard of a testosterone/glutamine connection. I DO read Flex magazine and am curious if you know which issue you saw this in (month? who's on the cover?).
As to your gains from glutamine...good for you! I believe completely in the effects of glutamine and am very glad you are enjoying the benefits first hand.
As to tribulis. I do believe it is an effective supplement, especially for men over 35 or so. Its effects are not dramatic, but can be noticed over an 8 week period...some size and stength gain, as well as increased libido. As with most supps, effects very from person to person.

A lot of you guys must have weak-ass immune systems.
Or maybe you all live next to cell-phone roaming towers.
I take fuck all and yet i only get the flu maybe once a year or once every two years.

You just love to pick on me for balding, huh? I will admit...glutamine does many things, but it does not grow hair (even when applied topically...ummm, not that I've tried or anything...).
ha, picking on someone cuz they're bald or going bald. 
this whole glutamine thing cracks me up. i use both L and peptide form and will use it till the nurse at the nursing home tries to take it out of my grip.Also, i would like to add this little statement. for those who ''LIVE'' by bodybuilding, eat,sleep breath it, will always try a supp, and when they find one that works, will more then likely add it into they're supplement program.reguardless if its the cheapest or the most expensive, its a lifestyle. People race cars for a hobby, some snowboard, mt bike, or what ever your hobby is, it cost money.Its all about choices.

Ahhhh...there he is...Tank, the voice of reason. Amazing that such a freaking monster psycho such as yourself can be so clam and well spoken (and then go to the gym and frighten all the other members)!!!!!!!!
GLUTAMINE=more muscle
GLUTAMINE=more muscle
