Celorza said:Vitamin C should be away from any Peri Workout scenario since it hinders Hypertrophy. Prop blend seems to make the dosages low for Citrulline anyway.
Too few BA in contrast to the Taurine dosage and not enough Magnesium anyway...And Creatine Monohydrate has nothing to do Pre-workout.
I think the cit dose should be good right? It's l cirrullene not cit mal so the necessary dose is lower...

Celorza said:How can you know from a Prop-Blend? Also for L-Citrulline my opinion is that 3g are needed for a proper dosage. Alas how is a 3.19g dosage of a blend including it enough? Seeing how many companies like adding at least .5g of Vit C to their blends (still beats me why they do that though).
Ignore the CM... Can't help that they keep putting it in PWO...
Yeah you can't know, but I would assume 500mgs vit c which would make the cit dose 2-2.5g.1.5-2 scoops and you're good to gofor both that and the BA. Especially at that price/serving that's not bad. The extra vit c is the only down side...I'm not really sure its really that terrible even though coop says it is (and normally I follow coops word religiously)
Celorza said:Beta Alanine is not a Pre-workout ingredient, 2 scoops puts you at 400mg caffeine and 6g Creatine mono...which none of that is needed at all. It is a sad Pre...
It doesn't matter when you take BA or creatine...so why not in a pre?
Celorza said:You don't like Citrulline or Vitamin C?
Also it has no real Pre-workout ingredients other than Caffeine and a pixie dust of Citrulline. Look for COP , Nootropics , different stimulants and Carnitines as a baseline for spending money in a pre-workout. Albeit I am more of a Nitrate and NO2 optimization guy recently...noots I can add.
??? I didn't mention not liking citrulline or vitamin C...
I don't like stims, & don't need nootropics... Pumps I'm after... I've got Jack3d Micro on hand... This was just an idea for a cheap but effective backup, nothing more...
Celorza said:If you want pumps Jack3d Micro is superior than this Pre...it has Nitrates, Citrulline, and Agmatine Sulfate.
Celorza said:It is actually proven that post workout absorption rates are higher, and it is better to split Beta Alanine instead of taking it all in one dose. IMO it is best to take either after a Na-R-Ala or other kind of GDA dose.
Why not pre...well simply for the fact many people can't handle the tingles of BA and add Niacin, add also caffeine and some people get winded out of it. Why not Creatine Mono Pre? GI issues, some people can't stomach bloat from Creatine in a pre and also get problems from the metabolic stress from the body when working out...
Any other questions?
So you wouldn't bother with this supp then?

Celorza said:If you really want Painful sick pumps you should go for:
-1-2g Arachidonic Acid
-6-9g Critrulline Malate
-2g COP
-2g LCLT
-1g Agmatine Sulfate
-5-8g GMS
Have that with plenty of water...go enjoy a workout some 20-30 mins later...and enjoy feeling like your skin will be ripped apart.

You forgot nitrates!
Though this would be the perfect pre...I hate having to buy all that **** in bulk and mix it myself. Now that you're a rep maybe you could make this happen?
Cool, but what is GMS?
Celorza said:Glycerol Mono Stearate
I just read up on it & to my understanding it aids with absorption of other supps... So would it be safe to say that it would be beneficial if used in conjunction with any of the supps I use?
Vitamin C should be away from any Peri Workout scenario since it hinders Hypertrophy.
Seeing how many companies like adding at least .5g of Vit C to their blends (still beats me why they do that though).
I've read that 250 mg or so Vitamin C is often used in nitrate based formulas to prevent nitrate tolerance and/or prevent nitrosamine formation in the gut. Although I think the former is the reasoning with more science behind iirc
This formula doesn't have nitrates afaik so its a moot point
mr.cooper69 said:If you're not super-dosing the vitamin C, there's no issue regardless. Keep it below 500mg.
BLaQz said:In conclusion, I won't bother with this... I've got bulk Cit Malate, COP & BA on order instead & over next few weeks or so I will put together a stack similar to what Celorza mentioned... Thanks guys...
Jay888999 said:Add some Agmatine bro,wtf![]()
Short of money,lol,we all are...I am but i look like i own a vitamin shoppe at my home..BLaQz said:-1-2g Arachidonic Acid
-6-9g Critrulline Malate
-2g COP
-2g LCLT
-1g Agmatine Sulfate
-3-6g BA
This is what I'm putting together... Short of money this fortnight... I'm in no rush to put it together as I've still got my Jack3d Micro & Magnum Opus to finish... All in good time bro...

Anway that staak is great man. If you are tight on cash u can drop the CitMalate down to 5 gms,LCLT down to 1-1.5...keep 6-8 pills of ARA...as for the Beta Alanine,im not sure what the recomemdes dosage is,but i take taurine and i believe the bulk i got is 3gs a serving.

BLaQz said:Cheers bro... Stack courtesy of Mr Celorza... I'll play with the dosages for sure... I doubt I'll be taking that much, especially to begin with... The Beta Alanine I'm getting comes in doses of 3.2g, so that may be close to the ideal dose for me...
Jay888999 said:Im running ara as well,its on pre order,so when i get it,ill figure it out.probably run it round dec or jan..most likely Jan
BLaQz said:What ArA have you got on order? I can only find bulk X-Factor...
Jay888999 said:Xf OG ARA 200 ct...not advanced xf,went with the original.
BLaQz said:OG because it's just ArA with no other ****e in it?
