Sore joints and weird smell

**Levani** · 10-20-2012, 10:16 AM

hi I'm currently on 6th week of 500mg/w test e cycle. Everything is going gr8 so far, have solid gains with no sides except I noticed last couple of sessions my shoulders are sore when I do shoulder workouts. It feels like I can't lift my arms until I cool down. I do drink at least a gallon of water. I'm on 0.25 adex eod. Is there any supplement that I should take to help me with this? Also my sweat smells funky! It's like vinegar. My pillow and gym gloves. Is is test e or some supplement that I take?
Thanks

The soreness sounds more like a muscle pump

Sore shoulders means one of two possible scenerios:

1) You are not warming up properly, and/or...
2) You are lifting too heavy too soon.

I don't believe test e will make you smell funky, so I believe it has to be something else.

I was reading on the web that overdosed glutamine can convert to glutamic acid and causes ammonia smell. I take 10g glutamine and plus BCAA pils 3 times a day. Maybe I should drop glutamine?

you take ten or thirty grams of glutamine per day?

Little overkill. I take 10 g of glutamine total on lifting days. I dont think my gut could take much more than that.

10g powder and 3 times BCAA pills which contains some glutamine in it with other aminos

So should I take 5g before workout or before bed?

That would be fine. Im still not sure if you are saying you take 10g 3x a day or 10g once per day?

I personally take 5g preworkout and 5 g intraworkout

Ok I take 10g once a day and I addition bcaa phills which I believe has another 4 grams in it so total 14-15 grams a day

Using a scientific method, one would eliminate the glutamine for a few days to see if that improves your odor. If your odor DOES improve, then gradually reintroduce glutamine until you get the return of the odor. Once the odor returns, then you back off that dose until it disappears. This becomes your new dose.
