ArA stack, do you need GMS?

Took my first scoop of gms yesterday. Blah lol. Any tricks to it? It was one tea spoon and it was interesting to say the least? Should I take more or less with ara?

It won't mix particularly well; keep swirling whatever you take it with. That's assuming you're using it in conjunction with a PWO...

I dump it into my NeuroSurge. Mixes pretty well tbh

Doesn't appear to be micronized (like Analyzed Supplements' version - mixes fairly well).

I didn't think so either. I haven't tried Analyzed yet. I tried StarChem GMS and it mixed well too. Like no residue.
 
Just ordered ArA on NP since it was still on sale. I'm gonna try it for the first time alone. Can't wait based on all of the excellent feedback it has received.
 
Started my 1st ARA run today. Dosed PWO 1g X-gels, 2g Alcar, an aspirin, 3g GMS, 2 scoops High Volume, 1 scoop Flashover. Plan to gradually increase to 1.5g X-gels and jockey around with the rest.

Expectations high after reading all the rave reviews on here. In the gym I was kind of "meh"... pump was good but not better than I've been getting with Xpand or Gameday. Finished chest/shoulders/tri's, then BOOM it kicked in! Didn't want to leave- could have done back & bi's too, but resisted so I can do it again tomorrow! Still all swole up 3 hours after work out.
Obviously hyped for this run. I've run mild PHs a couple times before so will compare. Goal is the elusive "add muscle while losing fat" (lean bulk?) Also stacking creatine, DAA, fenugreek; BCAAs intra; usually get whey pre or post. Been on cissus and FO but now will dose them at least 7 hours away from ARA. I believe that's most of the standard protocol, but advice accepted!

No need for carnitine and aspirin... you can choose one or the other.

Mental placebo is strong.
All that other stuff you are running is prolly attributing to your acute effects rather than dose 1 of ArA.
Tbh the effects are no where near even a mild PH, although still effective with the 'right diet and right training program' :)

I agree, a single dose is not enough

Have you run Ara?
 
Yep and it is not bad, takes a while to kick in and certainly increases joint and muscle inflammation.
Works pretty well, but it's a product with one of the most amount of rules surrounding how to even use it properly.

Like the amount of supplement interaction it has with other ingredients all for how many % in gains? 5% or is it 50% to be worth it ?
Too long on ArA would be bad for ones cholestrol levels.

AS is the only GMS I have used and it mixes fairly well for me. Would be interested in trying GlycerGrow, especially given the price point.

AS GMS mixes so much better then Gylcergrow and AS GMS still doesn't mix all that great.

I quit mixing it and just throw it back with some water now.
 
This will be this first time with AS but glycergrow didn't mix well, it just went from the scooper down my throat
