Interesting question.
As someone who doesn't use a lot of supplements.
You managed to pick two supplements that have become staples for me.
I wouldn't go without either one.
Peace

Aggy is a hit or miss product... For me high amounts. I do like the flush I get from BA tho... I rather have Nitrates imho for pump. So I'd go with BA. It's personal pref. Tho

So BA and Id say DPol would be a great pre w.o stack and maybe add in sime alcar...sound good?

What do you mean you like the "flush" you get?

That is a really hard question and probably dependent on goals.

With that said I think I prefer Agmatine more, but I think I respond to it better than most. Since I first was introduced to it with MAN's old Blueprint it is one of my most regularly used ingredients and I always note a plethora of benefits (that not everyone always seem to note).

Beta Alanine always improves my performance and is a must during my more sports oriented times of the year. Based on the stack you are thinking I would hold off on the Agmatine for now. No need to run a bunch of products at the same time and if you respond well to nitrates there will be no need for additional pump IMO.

Bolt,whqt qre the main differences you notice between the 2?

Yeah i dont like over kill.I like to keep it simple.I think the stack im shooting for is perfect for me!!! Everythinf has its own benefits.Creatine is a must in any stack thats obvious.

I have before and a few times,bought my own supps indivdually and created my own stacks,instead of buying a pre w.o..I know exactly what im dosing when i buy everything as a stand alone..Plus, keeps things interesting. Im looking to do that now as im looking to purchase a bunch of NOW products and mix n match random stuff...

Beta Alanine greatly helps my endurance and allows me to add more volume because I don't get as fatigued at higher reps and longer workouts. Agmatine always helps me get better sleep, pumps, and overall mood. Totally different for me so I use both together quite often.

Ya your stack sounds great. ALCAR + Nitrates + Creatine + Beta Alanine is a great stim free combo. :thumbsup:

Thnks bro..i do all my investigating when it comes to this BB'ing thing..I just dont start taking stuff just because..

For now ill hold up on Agma,run what i plan and go from there..Maybe add it in a cycle and see if there are any bennies to it. Mybe add it and take something out that im using..Mix and match to find the best stack.

Once again Bolt,thnx for the good advice...

I like the tingling. I take my Pre and wash down 3 SNS BA caps. When the tingle starts I jump in my car and go to the gym.

Agmatine over the BA.
I agree with bolt on the effects of both. I experience the same.

Both are staples for me, if given the choice i would probably take BA over Agmatine simply because of the constant ergogenic aid BA provides. Agmatine can sometimes be hit or miss. BA is a no-brainer: take daily, get results lol.

The question has no sense .

What do you expect from booth ?

BA -> more endurance (good from booth cardio and sets of +20reps), better recovery (there's better options for that)
Agmatine -> pumps that last, lower BP ; not so much an ergogenic.

Read the question...I asked if u can only have one.I asked based on the fact that both are primarly used pre workout..so relax kid!

I would pick BA. Pumps are not as big a deal to me as performance is.

I found better results with using Agmatine solo or in a product such as iForce Hemavol. The tingles from BA never bothered me though, only got them a few times.

Depends. Agmatine has great overall benefits.

For endurance aspect, BA is better but also depends on saturation which takes 4-6 weeks.

Agmatine (750mg-1g) in the AM w/ breakfast gives me a sense of well-being as well as being full all day...

What's this "sense of well-being" you're talking about ?
