Workout supplements

Post #239,938 by broomberg 12/31/05 4:48:39 PM Reply	Workout supplements Now that I've hit my weight goal, I want to add muscle. Of course, if I can cheat (without killing myself) I will. So I'm looking into supplements to help with my workouts. I tried Muscle Milk today. [link\|http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2134222&cp&change_search=products&keywords=muscle+milk&y=10&searchId=10485965778&x=40&parentPage=search\|http://www.gnc.com/p...parentPage=search] Since I've only just started, I can only judge energy levels and muscle recovery time, not any long term value. Very simply, it works. 5 minutes after drinking it I felt "on edge". Except there is no stimulant in it that I can tell. I easily did 40 minutes of cardio, without slowing down. I had forgot my knee cream, so I had to stop due to the pain, not because I was tired. I can usually hit 40 minutes, but it usually feels like I'm pushing it. When I went on to weights, I did 3 circuits, and extra reps in them, when I usually so 1.5, ie: 1 circuit and then a partial. I did over 100 crunches, when I usually do 40 or so. Right now, and hour later, I'm thinking about going back, except the gym closes at 6 today so it's not worth it.

Nothing apparently harmful at any rate. But if they are so hot on human milk why not call the la leche society and stockup? thanx, bill Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free american and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 50 years. meep

Here is a list of things being hyped: [link\|http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/musclegain.htm\|http://www.bodybuild...re/musclegain.htm] You can map about 1/2 of what they list to ingredients in the Muscle Milk.

IIRC there are several essays out there on consequences of overdoing Fe in male critters; no idea what the current AMA take is, if any. Clue may be - "too Much spinach" has entered the vocabulary. As to Who's Right? Haven't cared enough to run down some corroborations claimed, yet. Bon appetit. Ashton

Background: Iron may promote coronary atherosclerotic disease (CAD) by increasing lipid peroxidation. Studies on biochemical or genetic markers of body iron stores as risk factors for CAD have yielded conflicting results. [...] No differences in iron markers were found in CAD patients with or without myocardial infarction. Conclusions: Our results do not support a role for biochemical or genetic markers of iron stores as predictors of the risk of CAD or its thrombotic complications. Still, I would be very nervous about eating things that are out of the ordinary - especially things which say, in fine print: * These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. FWIW. Cheers, Scott.
