Rad To The Bone

Definitely need to keep fluids up... creatine is the one supp that cannot be faulted. I do like Glutamine too personally and it's dirt cheap, probably no need for the other added BCAAs TBH but if it's not jacked the price up it's no bad thing.

I did notice you pluralised 'freezers'... flash bugger.

But you can't moan about the heat and training when you your reps fall in to single digits, start hitting 20s and I'll have more sympathy

Keep mega hydrated mate with creatine take 5g ED that's as complicated as it gets tbh.

As long as you getting some work in on weights don't sweat the numbers at the moment. Intensity is always up there mara

Cheers Mick I will plough the water in,I am drinking like hell at the minute as it is lol.

Do you rate creatine or is it not worth bothering with?

With the weights I am just playing it by ear as this heats really killing me off feel proper drained by the end of the day.

They were both cheap as fook tbh so I bought a few tubs of each,I have always looked at creatine but never bothered with it,but I will keep water intake right up and see how it goes, I do like glutamine for some reason I get less aches and pains when I take it.........no idea why.

Lol over here you need a couple of freezers as meat just doesn't keep well in the fridge plus I buy a load of stuff from euro drop and it all comes frozen so they are well stocked now.

With 30 secs or less between sets and less than a minute rest between different exercises in a shed that's like a oven.....trust me I am allowed to moan LMAO.

Yes mara creatine mono is a fantastic supplement probably one of a few with thousands of studies showing positive effects too.

It's dirt cheap and has many benefits outside of muscle building / cell volumisation - no Brainer taking it daily.

Now my tummy troubles are under control I added it back in couple weeks ago.

Glutamine assists greatly with recovery and immune system mara, so less aches and pains as recovery is improved. Its amazing for gut health too BTW.

Mick beat me to the replies there... but just to add, creatine is directly used for ATP production, which essentially is all to do with energy for explosive power - lifting weights in other words

As a side note, if you ever have a liver function test the use of creatine will increase creatinine levels, which on it's own would be a marker for liver damage. This does not mean creatine is damaging the liver, it is simply the by-product created from the body utilising the supplemented creatine

Nice one Mick it sounds good so I will make a permanent addition to my supplements
from now on.I forgot how good glutamine actually is especially in settling my guts and inflammation down since this celiac crap my guts are a mess so definitely a useful thing to have in there.

Yeah I read today that it's good for a bit of a energy boost which I can definitely do with at the minute lol.

Thanks for the heads up on liver function that's worth knowing....cheers dude.

I didn't bother with any cardio today after a hot day and working late I felt to knackered to do anything else most spoiling though.

Happy I can help anytime mara

Tudca has been the main supplement to assist with settling my colitis down. I'm having 300mg x 3 each day.

Don't want to tempt fate but still restricting certain food groups as you know but had no flare ups or pain in around 5 weeks now mate.

It's not an energy boost in the sense that you get a kick, like a red bull, but it prolongs and maximises your ability to lift explosively

One thing you will find with the higher intensity stuff is that numbers do fluctuate a lot as so many other factors can hinder performance in a more noticeable way
