ok. So for vascularity I recommend the vascularity stack. And as for energy, consider heavy doses of B12. Injections prefered, if not, I would get Methyl sublinguals. If you inject, 1000mcg twice a week is good. Sublingials, 5000mcg. Also include CoQ10 at 200mg. Try that for a couple of weeks and see how you feel.

My injectable b12 is only 100mg per cc.... It's a inject b complex so would it still be ok to take so much??

That's Hydroxocobalamin. Are you sure it's 100 Milligrams? Is this VET grade or something? It's probably 1000 mcg B12 and some mg's of other stuff.

Sweet. Yes, daily! - Takes a long time to dissolve, so be patient. It's better than chewing it.

Getting here a little late but that was a serious read and very informative.

Cheers Austinite...

If i choose b12 sublinguals is it 5000mcg twice a week?

5000mcg daily! You can go twice a week, but that might just keep you in the lower ranges. Take it daily for optimum levels.

Or right. Ill do daily. Just been looking on amazon at everything thats all.also, the things you said need taking with fats, do egg yolks count?

yeah def. Anything with fat. Some drugs are fat soluble so they'll absorb through fats better. some are water soluble and better taken on an empty stomach. Empty stomach is 1 hour before eating or 2 hours after eating with plenty of water. Just look at the labels, most will tell you the solubility.

Thanks man.

Your blood group matters when you take vitamin C:

There are different types of Vitamin C and depending on your blood type, you would benefit far more if you take the right type. Below is the blood type and vitamin type pairing:

- Blood group 'O': use Calcium Ascorbate
- Blood group 'A1': use Sodium Ascorbate
- Blood group 'A2': use Calcium & Sodium Ascorbate
- Blood group 'B': use Calcium Ascorbate & Bioflavonoids
- Blood group 'AB': use Ascorbic Acid

Hey austinite, great thread. Question - early on you mentioned you don't do protein powders anymore. Can I ask why?

[austinite]

Hey austinite, great thread. Question - early on you mentioned you don't do protein powders anymore. Can I ask why?

Because I prefer real food. No meal replacements for me. most powders are garbage anyway and contain dextrose/maltodextrin. Also, the majority of people eat way way too much protein. It's very easy to get what you actually need without over doing it with food.

Aust how you take your citrulline, arginine and methionine in off day ?

Dwhat do i do about taking the vascularity stack on non training days as its all pre and post workout?

[Doom44]

Same as on days

Whats the dosage?

[austinite]

Dwhat do i do about taking the vascularity stack on non training days as its all pre and post workout?

Whats the dosage?

Doses are listed in my protocol.

On or Off days, you take the same dose at the same time. Everyday. Preworkout on workout days is beneficial so that you get the pump at the gym AND you keep the vessels dilated and delivering higher levels of nutrients to the muscle.

Same for days off, except you're not getting the pump. Consistency is key.

If you take your preworkout at 5pm on workout days, then take it at 5pm on non-workout days.

Capishe?

That is very interesting that blood type influences vitamin C absorption. One more reason I should find mine out, lol.

^^^ After searching for articles on this, I found that vitamin C type may affect different metabolic rates too, particularly pH level. Have you read this austinite?

no! Give me some links, homie. Interesting!

Are you taking the RIGHT Vitamin C for your type? : REAL Metabolic Typing Blog

It is not from a scientific journal, so I will try and locate better articles. Based on the author's description, she seems like a credible source though.

Yeah that makes sense. I'm not sure though why they singled out vitamin C, this rules applies to everything.

Yeah, I agree. I think it was the easiest example to demonstrate the effects on pH.

Mmmmm.

Amino acid blast! This time with red yeast rice.

Red yeast rice? Is that a new supplement you are trying?

[sawyer86]

Sorry about all me questions austinite, just good to be getting all this advice. Does the pre workout stack have to be taking on an empty stomach or not? And how long should i wait to train after taking it? Also on non training days as i do a physical job would it be good to take pre workout before work and post after work?

[austinite]

Red yeast rice? Is that a new supplement you are trying?

Yes, forgot to tell you. My doc recommended it and so did MuscleInk. I'm trying to see if this will help lower my cholesterol levels so that I can get off the super expensive prescription; Crestor. Supposedly this is just as effective in the right doses.

No problem buddy. Ask away, that's why this thread is here. Empty stomach is best so that your supplements are not fighting food for absorption. Empty stomach is 1 hour before eating or 2 hours after eating. that said, it's still quite effective even with food.

[Gaspaco]

How you doin my friend?

I am on creatine mono 3/4year without break, should I take a break(2weeks or so..)?

[sawyer86]

So for best results. Take 2 hours after meal, then wait how long before training?

20 to 30 minutes before lifting will be optimum. Remember... lifting.. not cardio.
