Q&A with G-Six: Ask Me Anything

[G-Six]

What up What up? I'm going to be starting a Q&A thread here. Ask me anything you want. I'm pretty much the most open person you probably ever met.

What is your favorite cheat meal?

[G-Six]

What is your favorite cheat meal?

Pretty much anything but chicken, rice, eggs, potatoes, fish or steak

In all reality, i love sushi but i've been on a pizza kick lately

What's your favorite bodypart to train and why? And vice versa, what's your least favorite bodypart to train?

[G-Six]

What's your favorite bodypart to train and why? And vice versa, what's your least favorite bodypart to train?

I dont have a particular one i like to train because for some reason, theres always a bodypart that comes easy (pumped, strong, looks good etc) for a period of time while another body part is more challenging to exhaust. I dont know why that rotation happens but i notice it. I've been having some difficulty having good back sessions lately but have had some insane chest and arm sessions. But in a month that could be different.

The least favorite part to train is legs, particularly quads and consequently, they are my worst bodypart. It's not because its challenging. Its just because its not a flashy thing to train especially when you dont have world record wheels. I purposely put my leg workout on saturdays so im not rushed or stressed and can take my time and do it right rather than be rushed during the week trying to get it in

Whats the one thing fires you up to be the best GSIX you could possibly be?

[G-Six]

Whats the one thing fires you up to be the best GSIX you could possibly be?

That one is easy: Being doubted. Being ignored. Being treated like a "pee wee" and not a "main event" type of guy. I thrive on the underdog mindset and the thought that if i work hard today and be the best i can be, one day i will show them and they will be eating their words or kicking themselves for not investing in my abilities because they thought they were no good

Guessing you're a bodybuilder? By the way you were talking about your split.

I know you´re a proponent peri workout nutrition.
What difference do you feel using an intra training drink as opposed to drinking straight water?


What does your current drink consist of?

Kind of piggy backing on this; I was going to ask what supplements you feel are essential to optimize your recovery

My periworkout drink consists of:

3 scoops Juiced Aminos
2.5 Scoops Sportpharma CarbMax (50g of carbs)
10g Univ Creatine powder
10g Univ Glutamine powder
(I take 2 packs Nitro pre and 2 packs Post workout)

Now...

There is a reason for those carbs intra workout that i wont go into FULL detail (if you catch my drift) but they get shuttled to the muscles during the workout.

Sometimes, that drink makes my stomach bloated and i dont like it. Im trying to find a reason and the only thing i can think of is the artificial flavors in 3 scoops of Juiced Aminos (mixed in 48oz of water is a high concentration) and i believe it upsets my stomach sometimes, but not always.

When i do straight water, i notice my stomach to stay flatter during training. I have been toying with the idea of doing 2 Packs Nitro Pre, 2 packs intra and 2 packs post while still doing 2.5 scoops carbmax and the creatine and glutamine (being that they are unflavored)

[G-Six]

Essentials would include:

Creatine
Glutamine
Animal Pak
Animal Nitro (Juiced Aminos also if im digesting it well)
Animal Whey
Sportpharma CarbMax


Extras that i take that are not essential to recovery but i take for various reasons year round:

Animal Omega
Animal Flex
Natural Sterol Complex (for nutrient partitioning)

Anything else i add in is purely extra just to get a bit more of an edge

Thanks man. Recovery is always at the top of my mind. My current sup list is:

Animal Omega
Animal Nitro
Animal Pak
Animal Flex
Animal Juiced Aminos
Animal Whey
Universal Storm
Potassium & Magneisum
Vit C

So I'm right along with what you're saying. I'm just now adding the Storm back in for intraworkout. For years I have sipped on aminos during the day as well. But I'm always down for even better recovery, thanks for the response

Got you.
Thanks for sharing, brother.

Honestly, if I was you, I would go with only 1 scoop of Juiced Aminos and instead throw in 3 packs of NITRO pre as well as post. The bloating you experiencing is your body teling you that something isn´t right. It means assimilation of all those premium grade nutrients is being compromised. You can not allow that if you are looking for optimal results.
An intra workout drink is supposed to feel like water. So, make those changes.

I will. The other day i left my Juiced Aminos at work and was at home going to train. Literally had none. Only could do creatine glutamine and carbmax...so it was like chalky water lol. No bloating. I think thats proof right there

If that doesn´t proof it to you, I don´t know what will.
Definitely go with NITRO for the aminos and maybe a scoop of Juiced Aminos for the flavor.
It still tastes great even if it´s diluted more.

The last thing id want my intra workout to do is screw up my appetite. Need to stay on schedule with the meals following

[ChrisTuttle]

If you had to be stuck and needed to formulate your own pre-workout from Gas station purchases what would it be? LOL

Great question:

Id go....Large black coffee (iced), sea salt (or regular salt), a 5 hour energy (b12)...I would stay away from energy drinks. Not because i never drink them but i dont want some carbonated as i'd probably be hiccuping or bloated from it during the workout.
