Heavy lifters do you use....

[looking good]

Creatine or Glutamine? I am looking more and more getting into bodybuilding and have been reading as well as lifting heavy for the last two weeks. I want to see how far I can go on my own. I have been over to the bodybuilding website which is a good source of information but wanted to see if any "Catheland" people are taking these supplements and what do you think and are they worth it.

Anyone with any feedback would be appreciated.

I use L-Glutomine along with BCAA's. Good to help repair your muscles after they've been worked. I've never tried Creatine. That stuff kind of scares me.

Creatine can mess up your liver- stay away from it. I've seen it on more than one occasion.

Thanks Debbie that what my initial thought was....

Catherine....I agree all that going threw your liver....

I been here much longer and trust the advice over here only because of reading so many post.

I figure if I eat real clean and continue heavy will see where I go....need to take before and after pictures because that camera never lies...

Branch Chain Amino Acids. I get mine from the Vitamin Shoppe. I wanted to send you the link but it seems the VS's website is down. Either that or my internet connection sucks today.

Yeah, . .what Catherine says. My sister who is a pharm MD says it is really bad for livers.
