I'm new to this site (coming from bb.com), 36 yr. old natural bodybuilder who hasn't competed in awhile.
I wanted to share my thoughts on precontest supplementation; I'm preparing for an April 5th show. Looks like a lot of good, solid minds on this site, so any feedback is appreciated.
I've never started a thread before, so here goes:
Upon waking (@5 a.m., 30-45 minutes before eating):
1 gram L-Carnitine
1 gram Acetyl L-Carnitine
5 grams BCAA’s (AST)
5 tabs Density (Beverley International)
3 caps SuperCissusRx (USPlabs)
NOTES: the carnitine combo w/ BCAA is a great way to get the fat-loss going for the day, as well as jump-starting positive nitrogen balance after nighttime sleep.
15 minutes prior to Meal #1: 1 cap P-Slin (USPlabs).
Meal #1: 1 Super Pak (Beverly Int.) or
1 Animal Pak (Universal)
3 grams fish oil
500 mcg Chromium Picolinate
NOTES: I alternate the Super Pak with the Animal Pak as my daily multi-vitamin, because I like them both.
45 minutes prior to training: 3 caps White Blood (Controlled Labs). Preworkout nitric oxide booster
30 minutes prior to training: 1 scoop Purple Wraath (Controlled Labs)
10 grams micronized Creatine (AST)
10 grams Glutamine (VPX)
2 caps PowerFULL (USP)
2 caps Recreate (USP)
4 caps I-GH-1 (LG Sciences)
Immediately prior to training: 1 scoop Purple Wraath
7 grams BCAA caps (AST)
Immediately after training: 1 scoop Purple Wraath
7 grams BCAA caps (AST)
5 tabs Density (Bev. Int.)
15 minutes following training: 1 cap Anabolic Pump
30 minutes following training: w/ postworkout shake (Meal #2) - 400 mg COQ10
1 gram vitamin C
500 mg vitamin E
5000 mcg Biotin
10 grams micronized Creatine (AST)
10 grams Glutamine (VPX)
15 minutes prior to Meal #3: 1 cap Anabolic Pump
Mid-afternoon: 3 caps White Blood
1 cap Recreate
2 caps PowerFULL
15 minutes prior to Meal #4: 1 cap Anabolic Pump
With Meal #4: 2nd Animal Pak (if taking those multi’s for that day; if I take the Beverly multi earlier instead, I’ll supplement with 1 gram vitamin C & 500 mg vitamin E with this meal).
With Meal #6: 3 grams fish oil.
Bedtime: 3 caps ZMA (Beverly Int.)
1 gram L-Carnitine
1 gram Acetyl L-Carnitine
5 grams BCAA’s (AST)
1 cap PowerFULL
3 caps SuperCissusRx
I’ll also take 6 Ultra 40 tabs (Beverly Int.) with every meal during this time, and currently I am using Scivation’s Anagen (2 caps w/ meals #1,3 &5) for ecdysterone. Out of all the supps listed, only Anagen has the jury still out. Not convinced this is doing much, and I think the company has discontinued it. I just happened to have some at the time, decided to throw it in there.
