    GDA for bulking?

    Fourth? Fifth? recommendation for Slinmax. I think bulking is actually the best time to use a GDA. They can be helpful during a cut, but when you're eating more carbs a GDA makes a huge difference. Slinmax would be a great choice

    Have you ever tried one of those pre-packaged food diet programs?

    This. I've looked into some of the meal prep services before, but when you compare it to grocery shopping and cooking your own meals it doesn't make sense. The only time I would consider one of these services is during the very end of a contest prep to make sure I wasn't cheating or going over...

    What's the Best stack with LGD

    I've never used it personally, but I've read and heard good reviews from it. It would also be helpful/beneficial to run a natural anabolic product along side LGD, or to use it as part of your PCT protocol. AlphaMax would be a great option

    Puffy nipples

    I would see a doctor first. If you had signs of gyno before your ostarine cycle, it's unlikely that exem or nolva will help much. These may cause other sides and mess you up even more. How far into your cycle are you?

    Is Jack 3D the orginal still made?

    Jack3d has been reformulated several times. The OG DMAA version was removed from the market in the US years back, so it's unlikely that you'll find any tubs still around. If you do, check the exp. date. There are a few other DMAA products that have been released to replace it though

    Ashwagandha(KSM-66) and blood sugar

    How much are you taking? If you don't feel right after taking it, then don't use it. Studies show that it can lower blood sugar, but assuming you eat on a somewhat regular schedule there shouldn't be any negatives with using it.

    PES Prolific vs SNS Focus XT

    The Express 42 is spot on. Focus XT provides a better sustained focus and energy, and Prolific is more of a general stimulant preworkout. What are you looking to get from both products? Will you be using this as a preworkout? If your intention is more toward a mood/focus/cognitive function...

    Need a good stimulant

    I think a thermogenic like the ones you mentioned would be good. If the capsules are taking too long to get into your system, you could try a powdered thermogenic like FitMax. I always feel FitMax kick in within 10-15 minutes, which is a lot quicker than most pills/capsules. It has a nice...

    Best drugs for Girlfriend?

    Agreed with the info above. I would definitely start with EC or something non-hormonal. The EC stack is hands down the safest and most effective thermogenic product available. What are her fat loss goals overall? And how long is she planning to diet for?

    Amino Acids

    Protein is made up of amino acids. So all of the 20g or 25g in your protein shake is comprised of individual amino acids. You want to ensure you are getting enough essential amino acids (EAA's) and branch chained amino acids (BCAA's) in your diet, but these should be listed on the side of the...

    Training while fasting

    A lot of people really enjoy IF and see better results with it compared to a more standard diet. I think your diet strategy is perfectly fine for what your goals are. If you were trying to bulk, it might not be optimal; but for cutting I think your plan will work well. How long are you...

    How To Take An ECA For Evening Workouts ??

    EC is still very effective when it isn't timed around your workout. I wouldn't stress it too much - take it in the morning and keep your doses in the morning/afternoon hours. As a pre you could use a non-stim pump product like VasoMax to give you a boost, but I wouldn't push your EC doses into...

    Macro counting or Calorie Deficit?

    Macro counting or Calorie Deficit?

    It isn't necessary, but it can be very helpful. If you are unaware of your intake it will be challenging to know if you are truly eating in a deficit. If your deficit is too big, you will have trouble when you plateau. I would track - it's not hard and it allows you to be confident in your...

    Seasoning and Spices

    It depends on what bodybuilders you look to or follow. Some people prefer to drop seasonings with higher salt content when they are coming in to the end of a prep and right before a show. This has been disproven though. You'll see spices and seasoning being added to foods in most "meal prep"...

    Making a weight loss plan

    Welcome to the forum. If it took 6 months to put on the weight, I would give yourself the same amount of time to lose it. If you aim to lose 30lbs in a few months you may be disappointed with the speed of your progress. It will take as much or more time to lose the weight than it did to gain it...

    What supps for memory and longevity

    Agmatine and fish oil are great staples for general health, but not very specific for what you're looking for. I would recommend checking out NootropiMax if you are looking to a product to improve memory, focus, and cognitive function.

    Best All Inclusive Nootropic Pill

    Any new natty anobolics?

    It would be nice if you could add something helpful to the thread and answer OP's question instead of just jumping in to make noise... Did you read the first post? He is asking if you have recommendations for new natural anabolic products. What do you use/have you used? What do you like?
