Gym And Supplement Discussion

[bozodos]

pretty sure that the timing of ingestion is irrelevant, it's more the fact that you're having it.

They have a live Q & A session daily on FB, might try to get on there if I get a break today and ask for clarification.

See I've also heard not to consume it too close to training because of increased blood pressure

I just went with that, it worked well for me for my goal - aiding recovery. I wouldn't say I noticed more power or more reps etc.

This was roughly me also in the beginning

Dat six pack though lol

I didn't have a six pack lol, I was nothing but a skinny kid with no muscle. Made me so happy every kg I gained at the gym, whether muscle or fat, using one of those old scales that you slide the weight along until it balances!

[No Crust Racing]

Not skinny and no six pack, wut?

I have an old film photograph somewhere of me when I was 17-18, rake thin, ripped abs lol

I too celebrated heartily with every KG.

[Birds]

That's correct. Had no muscle as a teenager. I was the weakest kid in school, literally got beaten by a girl at an arm wrestle in year 7. Mind you, girls are huge in year 7.

So yeah you gotta understand how even more surprising being anything above average, whether looks or strength, is for me!

lol @ old film photograph, showing your age? Kids these days wouldn't have any developed photos of themselves.

[No Crust Racing]

Yeah we're talking 13 years ago now lol

Ahh fair enough, I was very skinny but still did chin ups, situps, pushups etc, so was at least lean muscle, winning age group champs at athletics n shit. Easy to be fast or jump high/far when you weigh nothing.

From what I've read, WHEN you take it is for the most part irrelevant - it's taking it consistently that makes the difference. Takes time to accumulate - roughly within a month to reach maximum concentration/density when supplementing it at 3-5g/day.

I get mine from my pre workout - I go to the gym enough these days that it's pretty consistent.

enough?

I get what you're saying, but it's just not right.

Teaspoon of mono in the morning with apple and blackcurrant juice. Sa grittay!!

I don't notice the effect when I'm on it but really notice when I come off (strength & recovery).

Are you taking protein powder as well? Sometimes when I start back on the shakes I tend to get a little bit of bloat but it drops off.

hmmm PTC might be opening another gym in Sydney annnd near me. This makes me happy

[bozodos]

no wonder Markos hasn't posted here in months then

[-FIGJAM-]

Cannot confirm if Markos is apart of it or not

[bozodos]

pretty sure he has a hand in all other PTC gyms opening, as it is his franchise as far as I know

Yeah he does, Dan at PTC Perth said that to me

[TTT]

Yeah he has a lot to do with them.

He won't let any random open a gym with his brand on it.

He franchises it out to people he knows and trusts.

There is also a PTC opening overseas.. first international one.

I think there are 4 new ones in the first half of this year.
