    Staying anti-catabolic WITHOUT gear?

    Hey guys,


    I'm sitting around a strong 205 right now at 5'8 but miss being peeled to the core. The last time I've been completely shredded was around 185 on a prop/tren /var cycle, but after the legal trouble I went through I wanna stay away from gear.

    My diets on key, clean as it can get. I'm wondering if anyone knows any secrets to staying anti-catabolic? I'm taking pretty much everything I possibly can to preserve muscle and increase free test.

    ZMA
    Storm Creatine by Universal (Shits amazing if you guys haven't tried it.)
    SuperPump 250 by Gaspari (NO2/pre workout)
    Novadex by Gaspari
    PlasmaJet by Gaspari (NO2 product)
    Amino Acids
    Flax seed oils

    If you guys haven't tried Storm by Universal give it a test run. I swear to God guys, I got pumps just as good on that as I did prop/tren/dbol . NO SHIT. It's amazing.

    Any input anyone else can give here?

    Bump it up. This would be beneficial to all. Steroid users and natural bodybuilders.

    its a metabolite from an amino acid, cant rem which of the top of my head. alot of companies were banned from producing it a few years back, to my knowledge maximuscle got around it, good stuff but only for a few years on and off, then it doesnt do much for some strange reason. yea, mite give tht creatine a blast, cheers

    BCAAs are good for anti-catabolism

    I also really like USP Labs products. Look into Anabolic Pump, where you take 1 capsule 3 times a day before eating high carb meals. Also Jack3d is the best pre-workout supplement on the market by far

    I have heard the stuff is amazing. I will have to give it a run. I enjoyed shock therapy by universal but my god....it was TOO much.

    Thanks for the article too daytona, reading up on it now!!

    Edit: Looks like an excellent read for sure. I love sprints. I will definitely give that a try after my workout. I'm going to keep a log starting today. In six weeks I'll post up my results.

    Glutamine-Glutamine is considered a long-term commitment. One of the most plentiful amino acids in the body, glutamine assists in recovery by helping muscle cells take up glycogen after a workout, boosting muscle cells take up glycogen after a workout, boosting growth-hormone levels and maintaining immune function so you can stay healthy. It can also help delay fatigue during a workout so you can turn up the intensity for a longer peiod of time. The digestive system requires so much glutamine to function that it will take it frommuscle tissue so supplementing is a no-brainer.

    7-10 grams upon waking--This will be taken with your smallwhey shake mentioned above. Again, this will be absorbed quickly to help get your body out of a catabolic state it may have slipped into overnight.

    7-10 grams pre-workout-- This will help you workout longer and keep intensity up.

    7-10 grams post-workout-- Again, taking glutamine after a workout will help with glycogen uptake to quickly start the recovery process and get you in that anabolic state.

    7-10 grams before bed--This is another great opportunity to protect your hard-earned muscle right before you go to bed. This taken with casein will help fend off catabolism

    L-Arginine-Readily converted to Nitric Oxide in the body. It allows more blood flow to muscle by dilating vessels to allow more nutrients in, such as amino acids and glucose, as well as homones like growth hormone , testosterone and insulin -like growth factor-1. Also, having a greater water delivery into the muscle cells means an increase in protein synthesis, which, in turn, spells more muscle growth.

    2-3 grams upon waking in the morning- This time arginine will dilate blood vessels to shuttle in the nutrients of other supplements.

    2-3 grams pre-workout- This will enhance the natural increase of growth hormone before a workout.

    2-3 grams at bed-- Another opportunity to take advantage of the natural growth hormone.

    Tribulus- A proven hormone booster, Tribulus can increase testosterone from cholesterol in the testicles. It also has th ability to enhance the firing of nerves in muscle for increased strenght during workouts.

    500 mg pre-workout

    These are supplements that you did not have listed that I feel are crucial to long term success, especially, going the natural route. This is assuming you whey and caesin is also included.

    I'm not sure on the laws where yiu live but if possible try IGF or slin. Be careful with slin if you're dieting though, you must take the proper carbs with it. I like it for bulking but it will keep you anti-catabolic when dieting too.

    I'm in the USA but I've been arrested and convicted for possession, so I'd rather stay the natural route from here on out. I wish this never to happen to anyone, but trust me after the amount of stress you endure from it you don't even want to be around gear anymore. At least that's in my experience anyway.

    I will definitely give everything up above a try. I'm pumped to see what I can do on my body's natural test with OTC supps!

    good thread.

    I got some NO2 and Size on, also ordered some Purple K (on a recommendation from a buddy). Anyone ever try the Purple K? It is super expensive, but I'm gonna run it with size on/No2 and some other creatine (to average the cost down, mix it up).
