Hi man,
Thanks for your help!
I’m weight lifting three times a week, I’d like to put some mass (I’m 1.81 for 72kg) so I’m usually doing 3/4 sets for 8-10 reps, is it okay?
I’m doing a dumbbell based routine focused on upper body. On days I’m not lifting usually I run; I was thinking that it was enough for legs... but I know that this is probably a mistake so I’ve decided to add a legs day, therefore doing 2 upper body + 1 lower body workout a week.
For Cordyceps (and usually other stuff) I’m using Nootropics Depot. For the things ND is not selling I use mainly Now Foods.
Sometimes Life Extension, Jarrow, Nature’s Way (for some herbs).
If you could suggest a stack for me it would be awesome!
Thank you
Ok so I am going based on the assumption the first four were things in possession and I'll leave a couple suggestions on top of that. Initial caveat is I am not a fan of adding too much at once as it makes it hard to see what works. So with my suggestions go one at a time if possible.
Cordyceps I'd go 500mg-1g
Citrulline 3-9g
Agmatine 1-2g (this doesn't have to be pre, I like it upon waking or with a higher carb meal most of the time)
Beta Alanine 4-6g (this I would split into 2-3 doses, one can be pre if you want)
Next it really depends on what you want to "boost". As far as performance the combo of the above 4 should get you some pretty good pumps, endurance, and recovery.
If you want something for more mental stimulation:
1-2g of Tyrosine
250-500mg of Citicoline or 300-600mg Alpha-GPC
Maybe:
1-2g ALCAR
Want more performance boost, improvements to mood, and recovery:
250-500mg Rhodiola (3% Rosavins, 1-2% Salidrosides, keeping in mind higher Salidrosides tend to be more "stimulating" for some, but I never have issues with it personally affecting sleep)
or
300-600mg KSM-66 (if going pre, I prefer this form if dosing pre-training) or 250-500mg Sensoril (some find Sensoril more calming, YMMV, so I don't generally use pre)
I don't want to go with too many options (it can feel overwhelming), but I'd say pick one from above or below options based on what you want OR you could just stick with the first four you already have and maybe do the Boron (I'd dose 10mg of active Boron if looking for hormonal benefits) and Tongkat Ali if looking for a test boost (alternatively you could look into CEL M-test as it would have Boron, Tongkat, and KSM all covered + more).
So in the end I'd just say you could leave it with top 4, if you add something ask yourself which benefit do I want most (acute mental boost look in the first suggestion list, performance in the second, test boost in the last), keeping in mind some do provide multiple benefits.
