Whey Protein In Addition to Glutamine and BCAA???

Prisoner at War wrote: I know numbers aren't everything, but they're an indicator, it seems. So I'm thinking it's probably old age setting in, loss of testosterone levels, whatever, and I'm now wondering if some supplementation is finally in order. If your diet, training, and hormones are in order, sure, no reason not to. If the former are not in order, than you know what you need to work on. See: http://www.brinkzone.com/articledeta...catid=3&aid=95 I'm still resistant to the apparent notion that hypertrophy and strength is in some opposition to rigorous and fairly frequent aerobic activity. Yet your own experience seems to confirm it: strength has gone down and progress has not been made. Do the math. -- Will @ www.BrinkZone.com "It twas ever thus! " - Mr Natural |

You see, I also wonder about all the "old guys" I see in the gym...walking on treadmills, for example: why not go for a walk outside?? Never understood that. It doesn't get cold, overly hot, rain or snow in the gym. There is no better alternative to cardio than the consistency of use capability of a treadmill. -- http://www.steppenwolf.com/lyr/mnnster.html |

Whey Protein In Addition to Glutamine and BCAA???
Hey Everyone, Thanks for all the feedback. I'll try some supplementation -- whey protein and creatine to start -- and see how things work out. I certainly hope they do: these things can be expensive! I'm still skeptical, but at this point, I guess I don't have anything to lose. I'll also cut back on training, especially cardio, to see if that helps. Everything seems to be age-related...I'm still capable of putting in the time and effort, thank Goodness, but I'm just not getting the same returns, and that's extremely puzzling. So maybe at 35 I'm finally aging! It's really hard to believe...part of what made working out so fun, and why I could do it for hours on end, was the sheer sense of feeling my own growing power. Now that it seems like the opposite, I'm afraid I'm just going to quit in disgust! Who wants to be reminded of diminished capabilities with each and every lift, each and every mile??? I'll go troll some golfing or fishing newsgroup instead! ^_^ |

Maybe you should try lifting some real weights! Was that you in the video on your website? Some fat bald guy with a tub and a handlebar mustache trying to bench 185-lbs.??? Seriously, people like you make me fear old age! On May 6, 12:02 pm, JMW wrote: Maybe you should try seppuku. |

Nothing like the real deal -- jogging totally under your own propulsion! I can't believe the elements can make the monotony of the hamster wheel seem so attractive by comparison. I can do treadmills and tracks, but nothing like a real run from A to B...on through Z! I really miss the Army sometimes...nothing like a platoon running through the post! --http://www.steppenwolf.com/lyr/mnnster.html Eh? |

Oh, you've never seen 100-pound plates before? I guess that's because you've never competed ... just Usenet lifts, right? Does it bother you that I weigh less and lift more than you do, and I'm still about 20 years older? Yes ... Maybe you should try seppuku. |

Yeah, sure, and how much did the bar weigh when inflated? =D Does it bother you that I weigh less and lift more than you do, and I'm still about 20 years older? You mean those usenet lifts you were just talking about?? ^_^ Yes ... ****, JMW, you sound like a comicbook muscleman, right down to the bald head and handlebar mustache -- I'm surprised you weren't wearing leopard-skin! |

Whey Protein In Addition to Glutamine and BCAA???
On May 3, 10:51 am, Prisoner at War wrote: I'm thinking about trying out supplementation because I don't seem to be progressing. The main culprit seems to be (so-called? I'm still skeptical) "overtraining," but since I'm not young like I used to be, perhaps it finally exists for me, too (I'm still wedded to the ol' Army idea of rigorous cardio 2x daily, etc.). So I'm looking into supplements to see if that helps any -- for example, I'm looking into testosterone boosters to see if that helps restore the "biochemical context" of my younger self, with respect to work-outs and progress. Researching the matter, there appears to be a million-and-one ingredients necessary to optimal performance and growth, LOL. But a few seem to consistently stand out. Like, first of all, protein. Then creatine and glutamine and BCAAs...but aren't all these "-ines" proteins?? It seems pure whey protein powders already contain glutamine and BCAAs. So why are those two latter ingredients also sold separately??? Hi, I am not a "know it all" but I would like to take a shot at answering your question, if I may. but aren't all these "-ines" proteins?? It seems pure whey protein powders already contain glutamine and BCAAs. So why are those two latter ingredients also sold separately??? because every "body" has different needs. try using protein and extra BCAA for about 6 weeks, than try protein and extra glutamine for 6 weeks and see which prduced the best results for you, if you are not happy with either try a combo of all for 6 weeks. I would say find a nutritionalist, better yet, a dr. natural medicine have him/her test your nutritional levels (which vitamins enzymes minerals) your body is lacking and which you may have too much of, then let her/him decide what will enhance your body performance. I hope I am making sense, I am just trying to help. Personally I am a fan of juicing, and I do a lot of research. I know my body needs extra B3 (niacin which I take just before going to sleep) B5 (pantothenic acid) B6 and B12 aside from taking a B-Complex. B Vitamins are responsible for metabolism of proteins fat and calories, it would really be beneficial if you knew what vitamins minerals and enzymes do, this way you can really boost your results. My favorite book is Prescription for Natural Healing. I read it and go back to it all the time. It gives you side effects, interactions, suggested dosage and defeciency symptoms. I got it on ebay, it's the cheapest. Take care and good luck. Kat |
