What is /fit/ taking and how much?
A ton of stuff. It's probably mostly crap tbqh
I'm addicted to PWO. I can't have a good day without it now. Don't start.
>>35132360
Fish oil, L-Theanine, and a multivitamin.
i guess 5mg amphetamine twice daily as well, if you count that.
B12 and zinc is all you need, fags, assuming your diet is in check
>>35132360
daily : fish oil, magnesium+zinc+calcium pill, vitamin D pill
weekly: multivitamin.
multi weekly only cuz my diet is pretty decent nutrition wise, so i'd probably wind up just pissing the pill out for the most part if i took it daily
4 B complex tablets a day
1 zinc and and 4 magnesium tablets before bed
Phenibut and kratom.
Phenibut since its the only thing that touches my PTSD without terrible side effects
Kratom because I was addicted to my pain meds for a couple years and it makes the 24/7 opiate cravings go away.
>>35133373

Pleeease storytime?
>>35133415
I had very abusive neglectful parents who sold and were addicted to drugs. My nigger stepdad brutally beat me on Christmas for trying to play nerf guns with him. It continued like this until I joined the Army and had more bad shit happen. I had chronic pain and a really messed up head after my home years and Iraq.
Sorry I don't like talking about it a lot, it makes me feel really bad.
My childhood was way worse than Iraq. I knew what to do there, I didn't know what to do as a kid.
>>35133613
Feels desu. Stay strong.
Fish oil, whey, creatine, mass gainer, preworkout, multivitamin
>>35133496
even with a good diet, good chance you're low on vitamin B12, pupper
>>35133613
Here's one Iraq story.
Lol one time this fucking insurgent somehow shot down one of our helicopters with an Ak and my platoon and some Iraqi army dudes had to go capture him.
The Iraqi soldiers chased him across the desert in an up armored humvee throwing flashbangs at him out the window while he shot at us. When he ran out of ammo the Iraqi dudes chased him down, beat the piss out of him, and drove off to parts unknown with the retard.
>>35133700
This serious or bait?
>>35133428
Where did you buy the sarms?
>>35133613
Damn bro, you gonna be okay my friend. Be strong.
>>35133777
No I swear to god this happened, somehow this dude shot down a kiowa with an AK and we were advise and assist so the Iraqis got to call the shots.
>>35133700
I wish I came home with a kill :(
>>35133854
That's a fucked up thing to say, desu..
>>35133854
I never even shot at anybody or anything. Rules of engagement are nuts and you can't shoot at an IED or mortar
>>35133869
Nevermind thrn
>>35133814
Thanks man, I will.
Mechano Growth Factor - post workout

Multivitamin
>>35133893
Oh wait I did shoot at an enemy combatant once or twice, my tiny JSS had a horrible feral cat problem and we'd try to scare em away from our platoon building by slingshotting crap at them. We could never hit any of them though.
I got a scar on my finger from being bit by one and this other time it was in our building eating my smoked sausage.
Creatine, beta alanine, fiber (that sweet regularity), D3 and a mineral tablet (calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc) (this last is probably the least important).
I don't really consider it a supplement, but others do, so I'll mention I have whey protein that I consume occasionally.
Caffeine + theanine as needed.
Melatonin + theanine to help sleep sometimes.
Phenibut twice a week, since that's about as often as it'll work for me. I was expecting more from the way some people described it, like almost mild LSD, but it's basically, "Hey, a whole day where I feel marginally less stressed and a little better about things in general."
I keep ephedrine around because it's the best thing for my congestion, sometimes I take it to help with cutting though.
Been thinking of trying something for memory (bacoba monieri and rhodiola) and something for semen (pygeum, lecithin, and maybe maca).
>>35133957
Tried melatonin for the first time yesterday, haven't slept that good in ages. Woke up on my own 3 hours earlier than I usually do, feeling entirely refreshed.
Early exams suddenly feel a lot more manageable.
>>35134003
You damn junkie.
The only supplement that works and is not a waste of money, test-e
>>35132360
Fish Oil
Multivitamin
Caffeine + Yohimbine
Creatine (when not taking the caffeine)
Thinking about trying Bacopa
Anyone have any experience/knowledge on the effectiveness of L-carnitine?
Worth it as an agent to help you cut?
>>35132360
atm
Testosterone
Primobolan
Trenbolone
and also vitamin d3,
I'm going day 3 on my EC stack. Feel more confident (likely just as a placebo, as I know fat loss wont show that quickly, even with EC stack), feel like I have lost some weight already, and excited to return to working out Monday.
Is 8 weeks on, 2 weeks off for an ec stack a good balance?
>>35132360
Fish Oil
Zinc

No brother left behind, homie. I have a lot of friends who got PTSD in Iraq and the 'stan. I'm lucky enough to have never been in situations like they have. It'll get better bro.
>>35132360
steroids
>>35133613
Pretty similar background here breh. You'll fight through. You said you take phenibut. Don't you get real heavy sideeffects and dependency if you use it long term?

>>35137560
5 years training
I'm 19, this is my frist cycle. It was meant to be 200mg tren, 200mg mast, 700mg test, but I kept adding more and more, i don't know why.
Natty lifts:
SBD
210kg
150kg
240kg
Enhanced lifts as of now
SBD:
250KG
175KG
280KG
I did powerlifting, competing in BDFPA for 2 years, I'm a uni student now and would compete in mass students PL but, honestly now that I'm roided I think it's pathetic to consider competing in a natty comp, I do regret cycling. Did it out of curiosity. Had a gym bro with me the entire way.
I'm 178cm
102.2kg, 15% bf
Before I was 88kg 14% bf
While the gains were nice, the mood swings were horrific, and while I didn't get obvious physical sides, I can't say I enjoy knowing that my cholesterol is fucked, same with my blood presssure, I mean my resting heart rate jumped from 48 to 82. I'm ashamed I cycled, it's not all that amazing unless you started off low test anyway before cycling, not in normal ranges, and if you have SERIOUS body dysmorphia because the strength gains aren't worth the risks. My liver enzymes are in range, kidney function is a little off, but is in range (compared to before its decreased a bit), everything but blood pressure and mental health is fine. I seriously struggled with some mental sides, it was more depression and agression, sometimes self directed agression (towards myself, I wanted to die at times, had no reason for it).
Think carefully before cycling, and test E 500mg- 1g first cycle is much better than the stupid shit I did. But hey I gained loads of muscle, I can't even tell to be honest, I'm happy as fuck it's nearly PCT time.
Do these seem any good?

fish oil vs. multivitamin?
>>35137630
FATTY FATTY BOOM BOOM!!!
>>35137751
Multivitamin. Eat some fish every other day
>>35137768
do you have a favorite brand etc. ?
>>35137435
What difference are you talking about?
>>35137787
not him, but you really see a difference in how you sleep, you dream alot more often, you will get erections more often. This doesn't happen as much as it used to for me, but when i first started taking zinc i would get hard all the time
>>35137379
you're not taking zinc? you really need it
>>35137787

Ohh and also whey after every workout
>>35137811
>>35137876
Thanks. I just started taking 100 mg a night. is that too much or enough?
>>35137924
yeah that's too much
you want 30mg a night
>>35137949
Oh, nvm i just looked at the bottle and it says 50 mg. Is that too much? Should i break the pills in half?
>>35137978
I'm not expert on this stuff.
All i know is 30mg is the recommended dosage on my ZMA supplement, and 30mg is 200% the daily value of a 2,000 calorie diet for men.
You could try only taking 50mg every 3 days or something, that'd be easier than splitting up pills
>>35137993
Sounds good. Thanks m8
>>35137851
Now and then, it's in the multi though (25mg)
Why do I need it all that much anyway?
I eat enough food with it.
>>35137751
For a nutritional supplement I'd take D3 over either of those.
Most people aren't deficient in 95% of what's in multivitamins.
Fish oil is a meme on the level of anti-oxidants. It was popular so a bunch of studies were done, and they all got the kind of mildly positive results you expect from an actual result of nothing through the lens of wishful thinking.
Just in case though, just eat more fish. Smoked salmon is GOAT. It's expensive already smoked, but you can make your own for under the cost of beef. If your macros allow it, pepperoni and anchovy pizza is amazing.
>>35133373
Do you take phenibut daily?
>multivitamin
>creatine
>ZMA
>melatonin
>pre workout
>whey
>>35138192
>fish oil is a meme, it's not an anti-oxidant
>eat tons of nitrate foods instead
Are you trying to give me cancer?
>>35132360
I take
>1 daily multivitamin, from a relatively cheap genetic source.
For the sake that if it does work on any level, at least I am maintaining appropriate nutrition on the broad range of vitamins.
>1 fish oil supplement
Proven to work in small dosages in people who regularly do not maintain omega 3 levels, does not help or inconclusive evidence in people who maintain some omega 3 in their diets.
>garlic supplements
mild evidence for immune system boosting
>potassium supplement
evidence that it does work as potassium can be absorbed much the same as salt is.
not as efficient as absorbed through food sources.
I take myprotein's:
Omega 3: ~13 cents per day
Alpha Men: ~27 cents per day
Why? It's a cheap insurance policy.
>>35138068
20-30mg a day long term. You can take up to 100mg for a period under 4 months but it fucks up your Copper-Zinc balance.
My list:
Morning- 15mg Yohimbine w/ coffee
1g Phenibut every other day
Afternoon- 1g Vitamin C
1,000 IU Vitamin D
Evening- 1g Phenibut every other day
1,000 IU Vitamin D
Before bed- 1g Phenibut every other day
50 mg Zinc(going to lower it to 30
>>35139133
And with the phenibut, Ill start say Monday night. Then Ill take it when I wake up, and I may or may not take it again later in the day. Then Ill go 24 hours with out it, and start it up again the following night.
>>35139133
3g pheni EOD? Don't you get withdrawals
I can't take it 3 times a week even, currently experiencing withdrawals so I'm going to go cold turkey for a bit and cut it back to once a week
>>35139174
Im aware of the people who have withdrawals, so I'm only going to keep this dosage for another week if that. Then Ill stop and see what happens. If I do start to feel withdrawals, Ill just ween myself off and readjust the dosage.
>>35139174
Im curious, how long have you've been using it and how much?
>>35132360
if I wanted humor I would have asked for your 1 rep maxes.
Is zinc supposed to be taken before sleep ? I always take one capsule in the morning...
>>35134003
stay comfy, pupper
>>35133700
Good luck, bruh. You'll make it.
>>35139573
I see here a lot that taking it at night is best, but I'm not 100% convinced it matters.
I just take creatine and ω-3 fish oil.
How do you know what supplements to take? So far all I'm taking is creatine.
>>35132360
Morning:
Multi
Vitamin D
Fish oil
Post-workout:
Whey
Night:
ZMA
What's the whole point of fish oil?
>>35137630
post pics
>>35132360
Pre workout I take cellular C4 + creatine, post workout I take walmart protein and DGC. It gets the job done
Should I take yohimbine every day or can I take it four mornings a week and still have it be effective?
>>35133373
>>35133373
>Phenibut
fucking GOAT
>>35139133
>1g Phenibut every other day
Shit makes me fucking dizzy and sleepy if I take too much.
but god does it fucking work
>>35137423
and kidneys
>>35137379
>3g NAC
gootta have that NAC
>>35137379
Nigga i bet you smell like shit and laboratory
>>35140396
I would say that's fine. Just make sure your diet is in check the whole week
>>35133867
fuck off back to reddit hippy.
>>35132368
this
>>35133373
I've got some phenibut on the way
can't wait for it to arrive
>>35140369
I thought creatine was best used post workout
>>35137876
what kind of zinc should you take? There's zinc glauconate, zinc sulfate, etc...
>>35142074
Google and archive anon, don't just trust random anons with everything that is going in your body, not that zinc will really hurt you.
Personally I take gluconate because it's one of the more bioavailable ones that are still cheap, I remember there being like 2 ones better that are generally twice as expensive.
Also for any anons who are fags desustorage is the new /fit/ archive.
>>35140369
I think it's best pre-workout
>>35132368
pre workout?
im taking 4 weeks off to reset my tolerance, basically just trying to maintain strength and fill out weaker areas like calves and shoulder stabilisers in this time
with preworkouts i can do about 8 times more weights (not in absolute weights, but in total reps) over the course of the workout
>>35141810
Not really. Creatine is really one that needs to be taken as a supplement, every single day. You're not looking for a spike in blood levels, you're looking for consistently higher than standard intramuscular levels. It doesn't enter the muscles instantly, so it doesn't matter when you take it relative to when you work out.
Some people theorize that maybe, just maybe, having some extra in your blood before you start working out means that as your muscles use it during the work out, they'll draw in extra from blood, but it's hard to say whether or not that might be true.
>>35140076
Most people in developed countries don't get enough Omega-3 fatty acid, which is a specific kind of mono-unsaturated fat that mostly occurs in fish.
There's a fair amount of belief that getting a certain balance of saturated and certain mono-unsaturated fats in our diet is important, just like getting a balance of essential amino acids and fibers.
But it's probably better to just get a balanced diet that contains things like salmon, low mercury tuna, sardines and anchovies a little less often than you eat things like chicken and red meat.
>>35139573
Just make sure you take zinc not on an empty stomach or you might cramp up
>>35138247
>>fish oil is a meme, it's not an anti-oxidant
I'm not sure what this edit is supposed to mean? Are you not aware that the anti-oxidant fad with acai berries and shit was the highest level of mom science memery?
Nitrates and nitrites in food have not been shown to actually form significant amounts of carcinogens in any simulated or actual study of gastric conditions, but if you're so concerned, get anchovies and pepperoni cured without them, and, like I recommend, smoke your salmon at home and don't add any.
>>35134553
Fuck off
