    GD meant to ask how long it took to start seeing/feeing results for you on your protocol ? Also do you think the benefits max out at some point?

    Thanks

    The stack as noted in my original post started seeing serious vascularity in 7 days.

    As for maxing out; I guess you get to a point where the body will only respond to so much but I've been consistent for a few years now on that exact stack and see no decline whatsoever. In fact, I've leaned out a great deal because of it which I just love!

    Was doing some serious cable cross overs in the gym today in front of the mirror and going at it hard...when I was done the last set a dude in the gym (someone I don't know) walks up to me and said he "saw veins popping out everywhere when I went to failure...said it was crazy".

    You tell me LOL...

    The stack works as I take it...

    Hey GD just bought the Now l-arg and l-cit at Vitamin Shoppe, and the dude there tried to talk me out of taking it everyday because it can cause acidity in the body to rise and yada yada yada. I don't particularly like VS sales clerks' self proclaimed expertise, but I thought I'd run it by you to see if you ever take a break from taking it every day. Thx!

    Gd, how do you mix the NOW powders. Just used up all my old pills. First time with powders I added them to my pre-workout drink since I go at 9am.

    That's a new one on me.

    Been taking them a long time with no break; the body thrives on regularity.

    GD what are your feelings on taking creatine on off days?? I usually get 3-5g pre workout and then 10g after but I normally dont take it on my off days... Main reason I usually just dont think about it becuase I'm not drinking a pre or post drink...

    I take the same supplements at the same time and same doses regardless of training days or not. On off days the body is recovering, meaning healing and when we get bigger and stronger. We don't get big in the gym we get bigger and stronger on recovery, meaning when we sleep and when we take a day off.

    I like the fact that serum levels are consistent throughout training and non training days.

    I do too. Same supps every day. Creatine also. I take 15 Gms a day but usually 10 Gms in the morning w some juice and 5 grams preworkout.

    I just recently stumbled onto the issue of low test, had bw done, and now waiting on next appt with my gp to see where to go from here. I had been hoping that it would be a smooth sail with the gp, but from reading around on here that may not be the case. Oh well, we'll see.

    Believe me, I'm ready and raring to go with this but just want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row.

    Btw, I am tremendously impressed with this forum. Really glad I found it.

    Glad that you did as well! Study up here and be ready for your appointment. Read the stickies. Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to your health. Do not settle for poor treatment. If your upcoming appt does not pan out check out lowt.com.

    Also take the time and visit some of the other forums here. The nutrition forum is basically stocked with free nutritionists willing to help. Doesn't get much better than that. Then hit the lounge and have some off topic fun as well!

    Been on the l-arg and l-cit now for three days. I'm not sure if this is coincidental, but I had some new veins popping out on my biceps today during my lift session. They haven't stayed out post-workout, but I have to think these sups are doing something

    Oh, it works.

    Add in the Horny Goat Weed and 5 mg of Tadalafil and 1 mg of Doxazosin every 12 hours and you'll get the sustained look you want.

    Make sure to take 3 times per day even on days offs.

    looks like bullshit. trib doesnt work, gaba can't apss the blood brain barrier, zinc only works if you are difficient and picolinate is better.

    Here's my take on supplements to boost androgen levels; if any of them were even remotely capable of increasing serum levels to a point that was statistically significant the FDA would take them off the shelves and you'd need a prescription to purchase them.

    Yes, there are some studies out there that can show some lift in serum levels using any number of supplements but nothing of any significance; in other words you wouldn't feel or see a difference.

    If they were effective in raising serum levels we wouldn't be using exogenous Testosterone here.
