Any update on how you went with this? Bulbine sounds interesting. Cheers!

Just reading on examine.com about possible liver and kidney damage from Bulbine Natalensis. I'd chat to a doctor and avoid alcohol etc while taking it. I like ashwagandha instead for a T bump and as an anxiolytic, but it's not without it's side effects and unlikely to be anywhere near as potent...

Just posted this in the wrong thread so I'll bump this one. Has anyone found any supplements to be effective besides the standard creatine, whey etc? Anything new out there? I feel stronger and in a better mood when taking ashwaghanda, could be placebo but it seems to have some positive evidence...

Anyone found success with ashwaghanda or other potential performance enhancing herbs?

This is the commonly shared narrative, but not entirely true IMO. I have gained muscle mass while simultaneously losing body fat whilst overweight, but not "obese". There's also "newb gains"... a lot of people can gain muscle mass in their first 6 months of training, even if they're in a...

I agree with you totally mate, but it makes me suspect that we are still in the dark ages re nutrition. Or, at the very least, that there is not a "one size fits all" solution on the topic.

I had a laugh at this rant. It's based on the messages presented by nutrition "experts" who appear on Joe Rogans podcast.

My legs hurt just reading this :( will give it a try but with lighter weights next week. When I want serious DOMS I triple superset squats (or leg press) into weighted walking lunges into 10 squat jumps. The squat jumps are pure agony to finish the set off, and I was told helped spread the load...

Apologies if such a thread already exists, I did check the search function. I thought we should have a thread where we give each other suggestions and advice on gaining and maintaining motivation to exercise and/or eat well (along with any other healthy habits). I personally suffer from a...

Thanks for the response. I've never heard that before, what does the body use to create this protein? There must be some resource required? I agree about IF for weight loss, with the caveat is that it will only be effective for people with the minimum level of discipline and nutritional...

Been into IF lately a going for OMAD some days when I feel up to it. I'm a lifter but main goal is fat loss atm. I have a question for the science gurus re "nutrient timing" and hypertrophy: When I got into this stuff 10 years ago, the consensus was to eat frequently, have a protein shake...

Anyone else believe that the obsession with protein is mostly bs? I understand that everyone has different genetics, and I may be atypical. When I was a newb I was into the protein shakes and having a protein source with every meal... but I had my best gains when I stopped wasting money on...

L theanine and caffeine are legal and great as nootropics. Most of the other noots are poorly studied and have significant issues with being addictive/dangerous. If they were legalised then every uni kid would start dropping them like candy and we'd have a problem IMO, as they do in the States...

I tried this back when it was legal, and had a horrific reaction. Extreme fatigue and the worst depression of my life for about 8 hours. I can't find any examples of this happening to anyone else online. Some people had these symptoms as withdrawals, but no one seems to have suffered it from the...

Thanks for the analysis. All of these supplements that sound too good to be true tend to be just that. Still sounds worthy of further research.

Lmao, I was going to mention that specifically, but decided not to. It's like being a teenager again. The Test increase is supposedly only minor, so I'm not sure which pathway it acts on to be so effective for muscle gains and libido. Perhaps just by limiting cortisol.

Ashwagandha sounds promising. I started taking it for the anxiolytic properties. I noticed my libido was way up and beard was coming in thicker. Didn't click to me for a while that the Ash could be responsible. Googled it and, sure enough, these are known effects it can have. But this study made...
