you can only bring certain supps back with you.

i think its GNC and bodybuilding.com

if you want to know for sure, just go to bb.com forums and PM a few of the guys in the supplements part of the forum, dont ask directly on their forums for competitors
 
Jack3D, seems to be pretty good actually im suprised ... how many scoops do people normally have, im doing 2 at the moment about 45 mins before the gym. Im 10.5 stone.

I am still debating getting Jack3D. Part of my concern is that I do a lot of my workouts at home and with dumbbells etc I figure I would be more likely to injure myself.

At the minute I use Chocamine Plus, and I think the stuff is really good taking before a workout. Unlike Coffee it does not appear to have any come-down either.

i take 1, it's best to avoid taking more tbh as the more you take the more tolerant you become to its affects.

the 1,3 dymeth in it has been banned in several countries and most sports too.

:confused:

jack3d will not cause injuries or help cause them, it gives you energy and focus. so long as you use common sense you will be fine.
 
Quick heads up, just placed a £70 order at My Protein and was given a 1Kg pouch of Impact Whey isolate for free.
 
Hi, I've been training regularly for the last 2.5 years and am making gains in size and strength, pretty pleased with my progress. I'm just checking in to ask about a few supplements I'm considering.
Scivation Xtend: I've read about BCAA intra workout helping to avoid muscle break down whilst working out. Apparently this is the best one for taste (watermelon), what have people on here found? Any noticeable changes after starting to take the supplement?

N2O supplement: NO xplode seems to be a popular one. I'm on creatine and protein shakes at the moment, coupling this with a BCAA and then N2O I think I may be over doing it a bit. I've been told that the caffeine in these pre workout supplements hinders the creatine uptake so I'm a bit wary of it. Just interesting to see what other have to say about them.

Cheers
 
It all depends on what you're goals are.

I take BCAAs at the gym because my workouts can take a long time, but I also sometimes don't bother if I've eaten a big meal just before going or if my session is going to be short. Mine are just unflavoured though, so I can't help you there.

I really don't see the point in pump supps though, although I know a lot of people on here like them. I've never used them, and I can't say I've been limited by not having extra blood go to my muscles. Even if I really wanted more muscle mass I probably wouldn't bother (I need to stay in a weight class...).
 
Had a weird conversation during my lunch time earlier. Drinking some juice out of my shaker bottle and a girl next to me says "On the protein shakes are you?"

me: Err yeah
her: How long you been on them?
me: few months now maybe
her: oh right trying to beef up are you?
me: yeah sort of
her: ah cool I know a few lads that are on protein shakes

the some lad next to her jumps in and says "isnt it expensive?"

her: well a couple of my mates who use it cos its cheaper than steds so they get it.
him: ah yeah I know a few lads on them and they say its better than protein shakes

She then agrees with him and I'm just sitting there wondering what the **** must they be thinking! it was very bizarre really.

Didnt you know that protein shakes are magic potions that make you huge and muscly even if you dont work out! They even dont have side effects like steroids.

you should have set them straight with a bit of knowledge. the reason why people think like this is due to idiots in the gym, they usually like to big themselves up and will say anything to do so.

oh yeah i just started on dat der cell tech, its amazing, im so much stronger, even though they arent taking anything. guy asks him if he can get some off him, oh its like £500 a vial, can you afford that?

there was this idiot who went to my local gym when i used to go there and he would talk to everybody and i mean everybody, he asked a guy for roids and the guy said yeah sure no problem just give me £3k and ill give them to you tomorrow.

or idiots taking protein shakes thinking that they are steroids.

It's very rarely worth the time or effort to try and explain things to those sort of people, it's much better just to leave them to their own deluded thoughts.
 
Just noticed today that they sell Jack3d at the gym, £1 a scoop, will have to give it a try some time. Guessing I'll have to bring it home so I can have it 30 mins before my session though?

errr take a water bottle with you, as soon as you get there don't bother going into changing rooms, go straight for the jack3d. mix it in bottle and drink.

now relax and talk to some people who work there or something, the gym i used to go to had a internet cafe inside it which was free, so great for killing time.

go to changing rooms and take your time getting changed.

30 mins should have passed by now after downing it and your ready to go.
