Pre-workout and Post-work shakes

AlaskanGuy · 07-28-2008, 05:39 PM

Im pretty new to taking any kind of supplement with working out and i just had a few questions, im sorry if im posting this when someone else already has.

I have a pre-workout supplement called NaNO Vapor, and a psot workout drink called anabolic halo.

my question is can i still take my 3,000 grams of L-arginine and two protien shakes throughout the day? If so when should i be taking the L-arginine?

Thanks

it is every where you look in the world of supplements. Muscle Tech this Muscle Tech that. wonder if he went to GNC aswell.

i bet he did, i feel so bad for the new bodybuilders who fall for muscletech and GNC

well i havent started taking the muscle tech stuff yet, i guess i wont by the sound of it. So what supps do you guys take? If i dont take anything else i should just take the L-arginine with my protien shakes twice a day? I have been told that 3,000 grams a day is what i need to be taking, can i just mix half of it with each shake during the day?

im not to sure on the arginine wait for another person to help you with that but as for supps this is waht i think a stack should look like:

Creatine Mono-Dymatize or AST are good brands
Fish Oil-any brand
Multi Vitamin-any brand
BCAA-Scivation Xtend is a good choice
Whey Protein-Scivation Whey or ON 100% Whey are both good

You can still use the MuscleTech stuff. Hell you paid for them already.
It is just that for what you are getting, Muscletech products are way way over priced.

OK thanks for the quick help guys, what is better or easier to take, pill or powder form of BCAA's oh yeah and any tips on the L-Arginine

**allstar** · 07-28-2008, 09:15 PM

depends, do you like drinking things or would you rather pop a pill. Scivation Xtend is in powder form, but it taste pretty good and is a good source of BCAA

GRAVESY079 · 07-28-2008, 09:22 PM

i have an unflavored BCAA powder, from BodyTech(Vitamine Shoppe's brand) stuff tastes nasty, i tried to mix it with my protein shake, with all types of juices, nothing could help the taste, so next chance i got i went back and got ON's capsules. *if going with a Bcaa powder get a flavored one.

pills/capsules are easier to take with you on the go if you do not have a chance to make a drink.

but it is all your personal preference

I agree Allstar and Graves. Most of the time bcaa powder tastes really bad unless its flavored. I go with ON bcaa pills too.

Here is some info on arginine.
