Hey GP, don't you get enough Glutamine with your protein, or does it matter what type you're getting?

No you don't. You need a 5 gram dose in one shot, and 15-30 grams per day for the best effect. The peptide form is best. This is the only supplement that I take year around, aside from vitamins.

Where did you come up with these amounts? Experience, or research?

If from experience, how did you measure to know you need 15-30 grams for it to be effective? Also, why do you need to take 5 grams in one dose?

I read in an research article that taking 10 grams per day in conjunction with a high protein diet was sufficient.

Just curious. I started taking GLutamine again, but I do not take that much.
 
I have to say that my thoughts on glutamine have come from research in part, but mostly from personal experience and experimentation on myself and my clients. I also get to speak with several other experts in the field on a regular basis, and they all feel that glutamine works best at the numbers I gave you.

I keep very careful track of everything I do as it relates to bodybuilding. I will experiment with one supplement at a time and diligently record changes in my body. With glutamine, I saw and felt dramatic changes in my body as well as in my health, but only after I hit about 25 grams per day. Now, I weigh about 250 lbs, so a lighter person can probably use less with the same results. I could probably write a whole article on my experiences with glutamine, but I'm sure you get my point.
 
i noticed a big difference when i went from 10 grams to 35/40 grams a day. i guess i would rather spend more money on glut than creat. just my opinion

Studies indicate creatine is more important in terms of cell volumizing and 1RM Lifts.

Actually, creatine is more effective at increasing lifts in the 4-8 range, than in the 1RM range.
 
Protein is essential

I must agree with the people who have responded with protein. If you don't have the essential building blocks of the body you will not recover and grow from your training.
 
I don't really consider protein as a supplement. It is a macronutrient...the idea is to use the right amounts, the right types, and , at the right times.
 
Food and sleep. None of those things would do shit if you didn't eat n' sleep.
 
I use cell-tech, 1-Ad (gopro recomended), flaxseed oil, multi-vitamin, and glutamine...... thats what I find to work the best. Im thinking about trying this animal stack, but i dont know got to read more on it.

I think most people here know you must first eat and sleep before bothering with supplements.

Yup, and you must also lift weights! :p
o'great, now ya tell me.:headbang: :headbang: :lol:
 
Cell-tec is crap. I tried it and could hardly drink it, it tastes so bad. Epherdrine is pretty darn good. I've taken it on days when I was almost asleep on the way to the gym only to end up having fantastic w'outs. The best I've tried is the one by AST - dymeterdryne extreme
 
protein and creatine. That will do it for me!
 
been going to gym for a while but have never really done any serious weight training. I want to bulk-up yet stay defined and am looking for the best supplements to do this.
Any Tips or suggestions??
