male only Weightlifting Supplements and Reactions

[matt1912 316]

Any odd side effects from weightlifting/bodybuilding supplements following VSG?

I am 2 yrs out and have started supplementing my nutrition plan with glutamine, phenu greek, fish oil, and a thermogenic.

Do any of you have any info on what you have tried and found success with...anything to def avoid?

i do not have an answer for you and i do not mean to derail your thread but i have a question..have you used a pre-workout supp. since being sleeved? if so does it bother the sleeve in any way?

Your question was directed to the guys about supplements and weightlifting. Hope you don't mind a post from me I work just as hard as the boys

i highly suggest bodybuilding.com. So much information.

I've had no issues with my sleeve with any of my supplements,

Before my workout - NOS BLAST - Pre workout drink.-

Running days - Frog Fuel running gel - 15g Protein. these have worked well.

After workout recovery - whey isolate Protein Drink..I also eat a bit of carbohydrate.

Slow acting Protein shake before bed. (this is new info for me I'm trying it out.)

Casein is considered a "slow" Protein. When you consume casein, you will reach a peak in blood amino acids and protein synthesis between 3 to 4 hours.^5,12

This peak, however, does not even come close to that of whey. On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being the highest or fastest), whey would be a 10. Proteins.html" rel="external nofollow">Casein would come in with a meager rating of 2.

But, here is the kicker. That is not a bad thing! This, too, is a good thing. Casein dramatically slows the rate of protein breakdown. Remember, muscle growth is dependant on the balance of protein synthesis and breakdown.

So as we can see here, relying on one or the other, and debating which is superior is futile in the hopes to gain the most benefits from them. To tip the scale in your favor, you need to increase protein synthesis and slow down muscle breakdown.

I am now working on my neglected upper body. My goal is to build muscle.
