Supplements the debate/discussion thread

Yes precisely what I'm saying. Thanks for the information you've provided. it's been very helpful. As I said before, I'm a bit old school. I remember taking the stuff years ago and caffeine then was a definitely a no - no. Things have moved on I guess. I was asking because i was thinking of paying a revisit. Although I don't have too much problem with the weights, I've noticed my recovery period is longer as I've got older. Wednesday no-training is a must and a relief :)

No worries. :)

To be fair, I used to do most of my training on around 300mg of caffeine a go, but have stopped recently because I didn't notice much of an effect. In fact, most of my best sessions recently were without caffeine other than coffee first thing.

If recovery is a problem, try OAKG on for size (just kidding - I would always recommend reading up about a supplement and be prepared for it rather than just "do it because somebody on a forum said so). :) :D
 
It's still on offer too. I've decided to take Glutamine before bed and see if it makes a difference than after training. Although I won't be able to test properly until I cripple myself on Squats day with BSS.

It's not a suppository, just put it in vimto and neck it ;)

I had 20g OAKG yesterday, took almost 10g pre-workout and I got a wicked headache after the squats, not sure it's connected or not. Never had any issue with OAKG before. Got 1.5kg of it from MP in the half-price sale, plus there was a 20% off code so it was under £40 for the lot :)

When I go back to my volume training after my holiday, I may well invest in OAKG and Creatine - think my body won't know what hit it! :o :cool: :D

Thought you may have dabbled with Creatine?

10 years ago was my last visit to the stuff. Gains were quite notable but then subsided. Just like a good woman, after the recommended break I went back but it wasn't the same as the first time. ;)

In the past I used to always try and deplete my own creatine pool by training like a maniac for a few months and then starting the creatine. Always noticed a good boost following that protocol. I think that's the problem with most people I know who say creatine does nothing for them.... I've seen them train and it's half-arsed at best, no wonder they aren't noticing anything, supplementing something that your body already has plenty of won't do squat!

Might do some of that OAKG - Seems reasonably safe and well priced :)

It's THE single most powerful supplement I've ever used, the gains in strength on pressing movements were unbelievable. I've never felt anything like it before or since. Best way I can decribe is it's like having an over zealous spotter who is taking half the weight for you. When it first kicks in you'll be looking around to see who just pressed that weight up for you :D

Strangely it only boosted my pressing strength to that degree, can't say I really felt anything like that for pulling movements.
