      Ox's Stable

      This thread has been created in honor of the sport of bodybuilding and everything that goes along with it. I'm here to talk about training, nutrition, the bodybuilding lifestlye and anything and everything in between. We all have our own reasons for sacrificing our time and energy but, ultimately, we're all here because we believe in something. We all have the undying belief that there is some sort of satisfaction to be gained from all the sweat and the pain and the sacrifice. Something that can't be bought for any price or taken away at any cost. We are all bound by this common belief. I'm honored to be amongst all of you. It is my most sincere aspiration that I can share with you what I've learned and that it may be of some value to you. I look forward to talking to you guys. Peace.

      This is awesome, and I am going to start taking advantage now. I began applying supplements to my trainings beginning of April. My workouts are crazier now. I have gained strength and mass as well. I know for a fact 90% of the ppl here no the answer to this qeustion, and I even feel stupid asking it but I got to know. Why under the directions of Nitro does it say we have to use Grape Juice? Can we take it with water or any other juice?

      x3. I've read someplace that you were formerly a fat kid. I'm from the same boat. Along with diet info, I would also like to know if there was any particular way you managed to tighten up your excess skin from being a fat kid. I'm having a hell of a time hardening the midsection due to the stretching that occurred as a child.

      Thanks Evan. You're a lifesaver.

      thank you Ox for taking the time to help out myself and fellow brothers. This is why Animal is the way to be.
      To be number one you must train like you're number two. Because if you train like you're number one, you have no place to go.

      Ox, this will be a great ride and I will look forward to following this thread.

      Thanks for your contribution.

      I think it would help if you could run down your basic training philosophies and techniques.

      I take mine (I use 3 packets PWO) with 3 scoops of torrent. The idea is to take the aminos with a glycemic carbohydrate so that you spike your insulin. Once your insulin is spiked (since insulin is a storage hormane and very anabolic) the aminos get shuttled or driven into the muscle cells where they are needed. It's very effective especially since the aminos in Nitro don't get cannibalized by the liver and enter the bloodstream in no time. So to answer your question, do not use water. While grape juice is ok, you could use other juice or gatorade. Torrent works excellent because of the waxy maize starch pretty much bypasses the stomach (because of it's high molecular weight)and hits you almost instantly. Plus there's glucose in the formulation and you can;t get more glycemic than glucose. More glycemic = better insulin spike = aminos and glycogen get to the muscles more efficiently = better recuperation + anabolism. Just make sure nyou don; take it with a proetin shake because that will screw up it's ability to bypass the liver etc. Wait about a half hour or 45 min to hit your protein shake. Oh I almost forgot, I hit a dose of OKG along with my PWO supps. Ornithine Ketoglutarate is an amino that optimizes your body's ability to handle glucose. I don't know of any company that still produces it besides Universal. Ahhh. The hardcore basics that work. Tried and true. No bullshit.
