ARA supplementation in the morning?

[modernoscar]

Using original X Factor at 4 caps pre workout with GMS. Workout every morning at 8. Been taking on empty stomach so it gets in the system but get no pumps. Do you guys eat anything with ARA or does that just take the effect away?

Dont eat with it, but hydrate. Lots if water and GMS, should get those pumps going

Yea the pump is the best when on an empty stomach.. I'm using x gels by sns right now ans I usually don't eat about 2 hours before I take them.

Empty stomach is the preferred dosing protocol currently, you may want to do some intra carbs though since you're suffering ill effects of training fasted (no pumps).

So something like PeptoPro in Gatorade won't get in the way of absorption?

Do you get a pump with 4 caps at other points in the day - using the same dosing (GMS and empty stomach)? Probably not. As mentioned up the water intake. I find I a much better pump with 6 caps as opposed to 4 (and not much of difference with 8).

Well my last run I felt more pumps but I was eating a meal with 4 caps and working out later in the night that could have been the difference. I will up to 6 and see if that helps more in the morning.
