screw everything else. all you need is bcaas, or really leucine, and waxy maize starch. for my post workout i take 1-1.5 servings of IDS waximaize and 40g of bcaas. if you are drinking 30-40g of protein after your workout, might as well the protein come from bcaas. true protein.com is the most legit place ever invented. you can buy bcaas and even leucine in bulk at true protein.com you can build your own protein powder with whatever you want whatever ratios, hydrolyzed, micronized, anyhting.

Since glutamine doesn't exist naturally in the food, it causes stress to the liver and kidneys, which may result in excessive urea. If you want the benefits of glutamine, use BCAAs. Glutamine is converted in the body from branch chain amino acids (mostly leucine).

@orasis you're right most of the people are not the same..all the ones at my gym who waste their money on supplements are tiny..meanwhile I'm at home eating my chicken and rice and am twice the size of these guys..I have met "many" pro bodybuilders at my competitions who all chuckle when the subject of supplements comes up..my cousin goes out with Chris Cormier and even he says it crap.hey it's your money ur throwng down the toilet . go nuts

@orasis The glutamine really is individual thing. I supplement with Glutamine+ BCAA+ creatine+NO2. It is all available as a combined product and I kow it has made a difference. I am 39 and train Juijitsu with a bunch of guys half my age and they notice the differnence. I have far more stamina and less post work out fatigue and delayed onset muscle soreness. I am thinking about buying individual compunds and making my own ratio once I finish my current supply.

@collin355 You really need to stop thinking everyone is exactly the same :P I mean carbs after a workout is good for most - you know, unless you're diabetic.. Creatine works well for MOST people but not all etc. Some people do have Glutamine deficiencies and for those (not many) people supplementation is mandatory if you're doing a lot of workouts.

@collin355 Dude the doctor gave me Glutamine :P He said I was deficient and I have been on it since I was 12 years old. Glutamine is pretty important man - without it you die.

@orasis you really need to stop believing everything you read in the bodybuilding magazines..lol..you're sore because you are not getting enough sleep or not taking in enough "real" food or both..You are what I would call a supplement companies wet dream...

orasis (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

@collin355 Not everyone is the same :) Glutamine for me is a good thing I noticed that without Glutamine I would be sore for days on end after intense work-outs. Why? No idea but for ME I know it's effective and it's not a placebo effect either because I didn't take it for soreness :)

collin355 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

@orasis you have been reading way too many bodybuilding magazines..I've took glutamine for 7 months..no difference what so ever in my physique..hey cromiumn picolinate was the rage 15 years ago and they had studies on that to with gains..total BS..no one even uses it now
