    For sure. Any insight as to how long it'll take to build levels and notice a difference? Also, would it be good to take anything throughout the day to keep it up? My workouts are generally around 0900-1200 so I take everything in the mornings.
    I have a TON of AAKG 2gr tabs that I never used. Would it be pertinent to take throughout the day or is it kinda just crap. I didn't see anything out of them the first time around but my bf was much higher back then

    Well I've been on for so long that I couldn't tell ya, but the guys that have been playing around with it came back in less than 4 weeks to show pictures of their veins popping. Consistency is key. A lot easier to lose the effects than it is to gain them. Any time you can split the dose, it's always a good thing. But I've done both ways and haven't noticed much difference. Maybe at first it's best.

    If you can find anything in micronized version it will absorb much better. Citrulline in "malate" form is also superior than plain ol citrulline. If whatever preworkout dose does not give you a good pump, don't be afraid to increase the dose. Just try to keep Citrulline higher than Arginine.

    Of course the more expensive of the three is higher. Ill have to look into buyin bulk on amazon or something because 100 pills at 25$ at the vitamin shoppe just isn't gonna cut it

    Sorry Aust if I missed it, but what Brands are you using for these supps. I know Amazon has like tons and tons of different brands, some high and some low dollar. Im on a budget but scared to buy the cheap ones in fear of low quality stuff.

    Mostly NOW foods if it's pill form. Otherwise I buy raw powder at wholesale but that wouldn't be useful to you unless you want a huge order.

    Hey Austinite... been pretty successful with your supplement plan. I dig it! But I have a question for you

    You think it's a bad idea to add B6 and or B12 to the plan?
    It's the citrulline malate, arg, lysine, pycnogenol, and methionine one.

    I just read the first post again. I see the protocol but I don't see what time of day for orals. And the recommended oral amount.

    I also didn't see b6 doses. Sorry for being such a pain.

    Timing of what brother? It shows that I use them once per week and shows you my dose. Maybe I'm confused. Do you want the exact time of day that I administer the doses on Sunday? If that's the case, it doesn't matter.

    baby aspirin?

    Hey Austinite, with all this blood thickening around here I was wandering if I should add baby aspirin to my long list of stuff I already swallow. Is this only relative to age 35+? Or would it be beneficial for everyone to take this forever. I am 28, 5’8 230lbs at about 11% bf. My health is great other than I struggle with slightly low HDL all the time. If you do recommend me taking it is there a particular brand you like? thanks

    An aspirin daily is always good. I use 81mg daily. If you're cycling, your blood will thicken, regardless of age. I use HEB brand, generic enteric coated tabs. Remember though... while it has great benefits, it is not a replacement for blood donations.

    Sounds good i will add it to my list i see Aspirin doses most frequently recommended are 80, 160, or 325 mg per day so like you I will also go with 80mg a day unless you feel more would be more beneficial.

    I would assume it is on here but can’t find it do you recommended I take (NAC) N-acetyl cysteine daily for life as well? I would like to add some permanent liver support do you suggest this. If so what dose daily. thanks

    Hey aus. I was just going through this thread and noticed you said that optimum was a waste? I've gone through plenty of multis but usually stick won't opti men. So along with the other supps you talk about taking what do you recommend as a top multi!? Thanks.

    Hey buddy. As mentioned, I really do not have a recommendation for a multi-vitamin. I've spend endless years in search of a decent multi vitamin. Fact is, there is no such thing.

    So, since I've started this stack I haven't changed anything else, yet I've put on 6lbs? Remember if anything like this happened to you when you started this stack? I mean... I read that Arginine is supposed to increase your protein synthesis but 6lbs in 2 weeks? Seems absurd
    I feel like most of it is muscle also. I don't really see much of an increase in fat

    My protocol is
    PWO
    3G Citrulline Malate
    2g Lysine
    2g Arginine

    Twice through the day another G of Arginine

    hey Austinite

    Im trying to read as much as I can from all your posts, really learning alot (thanks). The info may already be out there , and i apologize if I have missed it, but there are sooo many threads and posts, hard to make time to read it all. That said, I believe I ran across you stating in a post that you do not take creatine as part of your supplementation program ( I also didnt see it listed at the start of this thread). Whats your position on it (why you do or do not take it)?. I am also a HRT patient (on test cyp and hcg , just started the hcg.... and fwiw my MD never mention supplementing with Preg or dhea). My goals are to gain lean muscle , and ive read both sides of the argument [yes creatine can help you gain lean mass / no it will bloat you with water weight].

    ps from reading your other posts I am adding DHEA / Preg / and maca to my daily routine.

    Thanks for your perspective.

    ^ Don't really have a position. lol. Creatine is not bad for you. It's certainly useful. My progress is absolutely fine without it though. As excessive as my regimen is and as extreme as I am with supplements, I still have some limits, lol. Creatine and protein/whey powders and BCAA are a few of many things that I chose to eliminate.

    Good call on dhea/preg!

    No, the stack won't do that. Something else is causing water retention there.

    That's entirely possible. I've been running outside in the heat in place of on an elliptical so it could be that I need to add water. Ill try it see what happens

    I'm still looking over this long thread but so far I've not seen anything on the Maca. Is raw powder form fine or should I get the pills?

    You can get both, either is effective.
