Alright /fit/, show me what you're working with.
>>35406811
yes, goyim, show us what you have :^)
I use whey and creatine. I might start taking beta-alanine. I can't think of anything else worth taking.

REAL FOOD
>>35406867
All the protein there is for my PWO shake babe
>>35406879
Same for the leucine and creatine too. The caffeine and green tea are my Pre-workout
for testing purposes only
>>35406811
i have fish oil and thats it
gotta keep those joints healthy, and my hair.
Can someone give the low down if fish oil is bullshit or not?
>>35406811
that's a lot of creatine
>>35409213
this
and green tea extract
>>35409213
from what i understand you get the same effect just eating fish?
if you eat fish regularly i dont think you need to take fish oil
r8 my preworkout:
1 scoop whey
5g creatine
100mg caffeine
200mg L-Theanine
115mg L-Tyrosine
>>35409376
Invest in some bcaa/ephedrine and kick the scoop of whey you fuck boy

Omega-3s
Recommendations for supplementing diet with omega 3s
fall from the sky and for every recommendation there's a different
reason given. I'm not going to go into all the health aspects or what
the ideal ratio of omega-3s in your diet should be, but these
arguments, at best, are speculative. I'm going to discuss things we
actually know, like what omega-3s mean to cellular membranes and
how to use them for increased hypertrophy.
Fat is an essential nutrient. Of course, it’s used for fuel, but it also
forms the structure of every membrane of every cell in the body.
Stripping all fat from the diet—as recommended by a few
prominent doctors-turned-wellness-experts—would cause death,
but not before becoming an emaciated wreck of a human being—
look at the same doctors mentioned above.
Because fatty acids encase cells with a gooey membrane, the types of
fats in the membrane affect the properties of the coating, including
the viscosity, which dictates the ease with which things can move
through the membrane1. Things like tGLUTs. The higher the
viscosity, the harder it is for stuff to move through the membranes.

Slick, less viscous membranes, however, allows nutrients,
transporters and hormones to enter and exit cells efficiently. That’s
actually one indicator of biological age: the stiffness of cellular
membranes increases—becomes more viscous—as we age2. Diet,
however, plays a larger role. How much of what type of fats we
consume dictates cellular viscosity more than anything else.
Stiff fatty acids—like saturated fat—form the underlying structure
of the covering, but too much makes the membrane thick and rigid3.
Stiff membranes resist the flow of nutrients into and out of cells and
make the movement of transporters difficult. Cell function suffers.
Polyunsaturated omega-3s, on the other end of the spectrum
>>35409743
create
less-viscous coatings that allow nutrients and transporter proteins to
flow without effort4. This ease-of-flow allows cells to operate at
peak performance.
NOTE: Eating 5 grams or more of a
combination of the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and
EPA can enhance the hypertrophic signals
associated with resistance training.
Since diet determines the raw materials available for cellular
membranes—you are what you eat—eating a lot of saturated fat
turns cells old before their time. Eat a lot of omega-3 fat and cells
contain much higher proportions. This goes for monounsaturated
fats in olive oil and the trans-fats in margarine.
Although nuts, seeds, soybeans, hemp and most grains contain
polyunsaturated fats in abundance, they don’t provide a full

spectrum of the polyunsaturated fat we need. They contain
predominantly omega-6s and we need both omega-6s and omega-3s.
Besides needing omega-3s to survive, the body is more anabolic as
dietary omega-3 increases. Supplementing with omega-3s in
quantities 3 to 4 times recommended can increase the anabolic
signaling of insulin and amino acids5. To build muscle efficiently
takes more than protein, the body needs omega-3s too.
One word probably comes to mind: Flax. Yes, flax oil does contain
omega-3s but it contains a form called alpha-linolenic acid. Not all
omega-3s are created equal, however and the right type is needed
for maximum efficacy and the right type is most readily available
from fish oils.
Although the plant-derived omega-3, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), is
the essential omega-3 fatty acid, the body must use enzymes to
convert ALA to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic
acid (EPA) and the amount of these enzymes is limited6.
Since we eat such large quantities of other fats that use the same
enzymes, we could ingest enough ALA to theoretically meet needs,
but still be deficient in DHA and EPA: the enzymatic system may be
maxed out. By ingesting these two directly, our
>>35409749
bodies don’t rely on
enzymes to convert the omega-3s, thus allowing greater
incorporation into cells.
Also—and this is almost exclusively important to Carb Back-
Loading—omega-3 supplementation helps certain muscle fiber
structures to switch easily from burning fatty acids to glucose and
vice versa, depending on which substrate is most available7. Carb

Fishoil is okayish but get it from eating fish rathrer than taking it pure. The unsaturated portions are easily oxigenized by oxygen in combination eith sunlight. Those fatty scid peroxides are all mutagenic (they cause cancer)
