I have read helps with plateaus, and adds soem good size. Even though I have been concentrating on strength latly, still wouldn't mind a bigger claiber of guns. before I worked out, had creatine 5gs in a glass of crystal light, l glutaman cap. and amino acid pill (2222mg) all "now brands" Before my workout, 19in bicep after workout.....almost 19.5 after workout, 5g creatine,l glutamn pill, 2 scoops whey in water. 65/10x10 1min rest in bewteen sets Arms felt heavy right after my workout, went to the store to pick up a cd....it passed....they still fell tight but not heavy as it did. first 3 sets, weren't bad, forth and 5th started to feel them. For the most part I only had to "cheat" on last 2 maybe 3. I did run into somthing odd, as the magize i read it said I would, on I beleive the 8th set, I got al of them.....just like the 1st 2 or 3. Not sure why, but people think has somthing to do with nervious system( acording to the article I read). That last set, of the last rep, I never felt that 65lbs more in my life! I bumped it with my leg, still could get it up, had to do it 3 times, and "drop" under it to curl it lol. So anyways i'll keep at it maybe for 6 weeks or so see what it does, keep everyone posted. -------------- The following, has not be approved by the FDA or FT, it was not meant to diagnose,treat,or prevent any diease(s) Please consult a moderator or doctor before using any of the suggestions or comments.
