Should i bother with Beta-Alanine if all my lifts are in the 5 rep range
Also what's the difference between supplementing BA instead of directly Carnosine?
You shouldn't bother with Beta-Akaline regardless of rep range.
Only sups worth taking are:
1) Whey
2) Creatine
3) Vitamin D
4) Zinc

What's with Magnesium (Magnesiumcitrat)?

From wiki:
>Simply supplementing with carnosine is not as effective as supplementing with β-alanine alone since carnosine, when taken by mouth, is simply broken down during digestion to its components, histidine and beta-alanine. This results in only about 40% of the total dose being available as beta-alanine.[3]
>>35053518
>Zinc
what
>>35054083
Bigger loads.
>>35054083
Good for natty test levels and sleep when taken with magnesium. etc
>>35054114
>Good for natty test levels
no, only if you're already deficient, and you shouldn't be if you eat properly.
>>35054091
nope
>>35054114
May increase test levels if they're low, won't do anything if they're normal.
>sleep when taken with magnesium
only placebo supporting this, no actual science
>>35054120
>assuming most people on here actually eat a decent diet
>>35053518
Zinc but no B12 or E. Hey sounds like you take A too faggot.

Century Supplement, though they specifically do not ship to the US. Eurofag here.
>>35054908
>Site down for maintenance and redesign
>Sorry but Century Supplements is currently unavailable.
is this a trick? is there a secret way to get to the site or am I just unlucky and it's really just maintenance
>>35054976
Huh no, that's definitely new. Guess they'll be back online later
>>35055029
can I get fucked for ordering ephedrine? like it's stopped somewhere and they discover it's illegal, and it's coming to me, etc?
>>35055039
Depends where you are located
>>35055048
Hungary
>>35055048
nice try fbi

Prescription-only, worst case it gets grabbed by customs and you feign ignorance? that has worked p well here in Deutschland
>>35055073
>Prescription-only
what, you mean I can only order if I have an actual legit prescription? what's the fucking point then
>>35055084
No, I mean you are only supposed to be in possession of it if you have a prescription, you don't need one to order :)
if you don't and get caught, you shrug and say you have no idea why you received this. There's no receipt in the envelope.
>>35055093
>you shrug and say you have no idea why you received this
I have a feeling this is not how the law and jurisdiction system works
>>35053429
i might be mocked but... ofc there are better supps to get for that cash BUT beta-alanine is good once you are beginner/semi-interm and you train 5 times per week.
it will help you to recover, at least helped me - i really felt a difference after i started BA, less pain the day after and better recovery (short rest days for parts)
>>35053429
this stuff is helpful only if you do training that involves really really intense stuff that lasts a couple minutes at minimum, like VO2max intervals in cycling or rowing.
completely useless in weightlifting where you never get close to the sustained workload where this stuff starts being beneficial.
>>35055057
If it gets stopped and you're contacted about it, say you thought it was a gimmicky ephedra extract that doesn't contain the active ingredients.
The whole ban and regulation of ephedra and ephedrine is stupid.
>>35058600
That's poor advice. At least in the USA when they seize stuff, they send you a letter informing you & you have the option to dispute it.
By disputing it, you admit you requested the shipment, literally the only way you can get in trouble is by trying to claim your package after it was seized, otherwise they cannot prove you requested it to be sent (unless you admit it by disputing the seizure). Best thing to do is not reply to their contact attempts, or if you do, pretend you have no idea why a package was sent at all.
>>35058636
You're right.
