Hello everybody,
I'm turning 18 in 3 months, and I recently discovered that I may have a natural ability to be good at sprinting. My entire life, I almost haven't done any form of running. I've only done some weight training; this was not a futile endeavour though: 140kg squat, 160kg DL, 100kg power clean, 90kg bench. I recently ran a 12 sec 100m. Not all too impressive, but taking into consideration I've never run before, my form is ****, my condition is ****, my muscles are ****, it might mean something. I've been recruited to a sprinting team and I'll see how far I can take it. Naturally, I've started studying the event (100m/200m), running technique etc. I'm determined to take this as far as it can go.
This leads me to my actual reason for writing this post. I know supplements can help a lot in terms of enhancing performance and recovery (when diet and sleep is taken care of, of course). However, I'm concerned with what these substances will do to my body long-term. I'd rather not get any defects/diseases from taking these supplements.
I've been looking through this forum for other posts regarding a sprinters supplements, and the recommended supplements included:
*I know these aren't testosterone boosters, but are they safe? I know they contain stimulants, but are they safe to play with?
I've tried piracetam before, for 3 weeks at around 5g/day, and I couldn't really feel any difference (of course supplemented with a choline source). Piracetam is the most researched nootropic and shouldn't be toxic, right?
Thus, I've been searching for products without testosterone boosting effects, but enhancing performance and recovery through other mechanisms. This is what I have in mind:
As I look at the list now, I could ditch the Mesomorph and supplement with creatine, BA, CM, GPLC instead. I'd lose Icariin and L-Taurine, would that matter?
Thanks guys!

- Animal Pak
- High-dose Fish Oil
- Creatine
- Beta-Alanine - 10g per day, every day, split into how many doses? 5g morning and 2g pre-workout (see Mesomorph below)?
- BCAAs - How much whey is needed when supplementing with BCAAs? If I can find Pepto Pro I'm gonna replace BCAAs with that.
- Cordygen VO2 Ultra - 3-6 capsules per day, every day; on workout days 45-60 min pre-workout
- APS Mesomorph - Contains CM (about 4g), BA (about 3g), Icariin, GPLC, Creatine mix, L-Taurine
- Bulk Citrulline Malate - 6g seems to be the minimum for noticing the effects - I'm thinking of taking 6g twice per day, adding 2g to the Mesomorph
- Bulk GPLC - Add small amounts in addition to Mesomorph to see how training improves (a small amount of GPLC (I'd guess aroudn 1g) is already in Mesomorph, Pre-Max from Primordial Performance says 4,5g is optimal, thus I'd like to add until 4,5 is reached)
As I look at the list now, I could ditch the Mesomorph and supplement with creatine, BA, CM, GPLC instead. I'd lose Icariin and L-Taurine, would that matter?
