Elitetrack: Sport Training & Conditioning

when and how much?

post workout? what if you run then lift an hour later? before bed?  break up dosage?

???????whats best?

nobody uses or has there athletes using Glutamine? lol. hard to believe!

also another question .. how about cycling Glutamine in terms of dosage?

I never repeat my posts…some content is on other boards and I feel that it is rude to repost and I have limits on my time here at work.

ok well i am using 100 grams a day? anything wrong with that?

Nothing at all, but you might want to consider selling your urine as it may very well become one of the best glutamine supplements on the market.

LOL. No, but seriously hopw much would you recommend.. i have been taking about 15-20 a day. Half after my track workout and half after my lifting.

If you're going to try and supplement your diet with glutamine, the best way is to use a high quality whey protein supplement.  The good ones have relatively high levels of glutamine.  A lot cheaper also.

JJ, what companies would you consider producers of good whey protien?

jj,
i am using met rx right now. 30+ grams of protein and tastes great.
only 3 grams of Glutamine though. So i add 9 grams to that after my workout. And after lifting or before bed i take another 9. That is 21 grams daily. Not many protein supplements have over 5 grams.

KT:  It's been awhile since I've been super hard-core with my nutrition, but I've had very good results with SportPharma Promax. It is a mix of carbos and protein, which provided a nice post-workout "meal".  MetRx is also good, but can be pricey.

jj,
hows promax taste? maybee ill try that next time.
your absolutly right met rx costs $$$$$$ but i work at a vitamin store and i get 40% off and also people that return stuff we sometimes get to keep. So someone opened up a box of met rx packets and i i took about 15!! so i made out good this time. However 15 pakets will only last me 2 weeks. So let me know about that promax.

Quik:  I tried lots of different brands, and I thought that Promax tasted the best.  They have 2-3 flavors…

kool, which flavor did you use?
ill check back in a few weeks and let you know what i thought. Any others you would suggest?
