Just wondering on what might be better good for me to take while on this cycle of test e. I dont think theres a point to take ZMA.

1g Arginine good idea or just a waste of money? I'm not really into the sugary drinks before or after a workout so i was thinking i could just take a pill to add to my tackle box...

It could be beneficial because it assists in the release of growth hormone which is also trigered by sleep.

It also helps with the formation of collagen so it would also help repair which also happens during sleep, so in theory it could help if taken before bed.

Oh and I personally hate ZMA btw, waste of money imo

Make sure you are taking Arginine Alpha-keto-glutarate (AKG) Plain arginine won't do jack. Also make sure to take in at least 3g per dosage.

personally i take 4-5 grams before workout and achieve awesome pumps in the gym. im not one to take caffeine before workout kinda like james said. also 2 grams in the morning and night is awesome for the lactic acid. LOL like LBJ said gets u up and pumped in the bed as well.
