People gave shit to Sean Sherk when he did the Inside the UFC w/ Rogan because he pulled out a baggy full of pills and downed them all (this was right after the steroids thing so...go figure). But I'm sure alot of those pills were just ZMA, Calcium Citrate, Vitamin C, and maybe he takes glutamine or fish oils in capsule form, which are all legal substances for sure.
I take ZMA, Glutamine powder, creatine powder, vitamin C, sport multi-vitamin, calcium, essential fatty acids/fish oils (liquid form, I like Udo's Choice but it has a short shelf life), and whey protein.
I've also heard Myoplex drinksm and Ultra Fuel are good for post workout, and HGH (PROTEIN!! POWERBARS!! MUSCLEMILK!!JAGERBOMBS!), but I dont have enough dinero$ to buy it all.
If you train/ weightlift, what supplements do you use?

[Esox Express]

Ok...... this is what I currently have in my posession

Product (brand, dosage)
-------------------------------------------
Multi Vitamin (ADAM by NOW foods)
Omega-3 Fish Oil (Nutraplanet ~15-20g/day)
Coleus Forskolhii (bulk powder ~ 500mg/day)
Milk Thistle (bulk powder ~ 500mg-1g/day)
ZMA (Primaforce 3 caps before bed)
1-Carboxy (bulk powder ~ 1.6g before bed)
Creatine Monohydrate (bulk powder ~5g/day)
Taurine (bulk powder ~5g/day)
Cissus (bulk powder.... haven't used it yet)
Beta Alanine (bulk powder ~1-2g/day)
Glycerol Monostearate (bulk powder ~500mg before upper-body lifting)
Xtend (Scivation 3 scoops Pre Workout)
Whey Protein (All the Whey and ON, 50g Post-Workout)
Waxy Maize Starch (bulk - 80-100g post workout w/ protein & Creatine).
Fenugreek (NOW foods 1g/day)
Tribulus (Now Foods 3g/day)




Sometimes if I need some energy or if I'm cutting I'll add in other stims...
Caffeine (Prolab 400mg/day)
Synephrine (SNS 120mg/day
Yohimbine HCL (Primaforce 10mg/day)
1,3 Dimethylamylamine (60mg preworkout) or whenver i need a boost.

Out of all of these, the two that i like the most are 1,3 Dimethylamylamine (crazy energy/focus...... a lot like ephedrine) and Glycerol MonoStearate (crazy pumps when taken 30 mins preworkout.)

Get your supps at nutraplanet.com . That place kicks ass, especially if you're into raw bulk powders. They also have the most ridiculous prices you will find on everything............ just go there.

dang.
1- that must be mucho dinero$$
2- when i take creatine, whey protein, glutamine, i always have to mix with a decent amount of water, esp because i spread out the glutamine dose to 3 times a day. And on top of that, if youre taking creatine and protein and other similar products you have to increase your water intake so you dont mess up your liver, and you have to drink accordingly to the amount of supplements your taking and body weight. how much water do you drink a day? especially because you take alot more supplements than weight.

I aim for a gallon a day, which isn't too hard. (4 Nalgene bottles).

Powders in bulk are cheap and the last a really long time, so I don't really drop that much money..... it averages around $50 a month I'd say. I always end up trying something new with each order though.... very few staples. I could definitely cut back, but curiosity always seems to get the best of me.

I drink that much water for the requirements of protein synthesis, not for liver health. 5g/day of creatine will not convert to a significant amount of creatinine and cause liver damage, and protein does not cause liver damage either.

I just took 75mg 1,3 Dimethylamylamine..... this shit is crazy, it should be illegal.

I'm interested. Where do you buy it? GNC?

[Esox Express]

no no no..... there's only one place i know about that sells it..... it's such a rush of energy..... some compare it to the likes of ephedra.... I would even compare it to a "different" kind of powder at higher doses (around 100mg).... just not quite as intensely strong. supposedly really good for fat loss or as a pre-workout energizer/strength/performance enhancer.

It's cheap enough to warrrant a try imo. I'll send you the links

[The MMADoctor]

1,3-dimethylamylamine was once actually patented by a major pharmaceutical company back in the 1930's or 1940's as an inhaled nasal decongestant. I don't know if it was ever sold to the public though. Recently, the credit for its discovery goes to Patrick Arnold of Ergopharm labs. Supposedly, that is one of the main active ingredients in Ergopharm's succesful energy product Amp.

There's actually a good number of sites that sell it in powder or capsule form. Do not pay very much for it. It's extremely cheap. It works similiar to pseudophed, ephedra, etc. I personally think it's much better for focus and mental performance, rather than just raw energy. I haven't noticed any major crash on it. I love it for mentally demanding tasks. It's my favorite stimulant.

It goes by several different names, one of the most common being geranamine. Just be careful not to start too high. 25mg is a good starting dose. Titrate your way up.
