from what I understood it helps prevent some of the catabolic effects of lifting since your body uses up alot of zinc and magnesium when you lift heavy and the ZMA should help you protect the lean mass you have. Although, some recent studies have shown it's effects aren't very dramatic, it definitely couldn't hurt... I have heard it's supposed to help you have a deeped sleep as well, which aids in muscle growth.

yea.. the above is true. When u lift u deplete zinc from your body (heavy lifting to be more exact) and thats waht ZMA does, is it replenishes your body with zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6. I have used twinlabs ZMA also and i have noticed better sleep. Won't make you look like arnold over night though. I use it when i can (remember take on empty stomach) so sometimes i'm not always able to take it. But it helps me sleep and if your body depletes it during lifting don't you think you should replenish your body? (just a thought )

I wrote an article on ZMA...Check out the sticky OR scope the Supplement Forum. It's in there.

LOOK AROUND AND DO SOME RESEARCH!

take it every evening about 30-45 mins before you sleep

rest days are no different from training days

i have not taken it for a while but as soon as i have the money i will order some, its top of my "most wanted supps." list right now

peace

Sorry. Just sometimes I get irritated when people don't do the research OR read the back of the friggen bottle. The instructions are right there..BLACK AND WHITE...........

I think I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.

[TaylorsNutrition]
