how would i go about taking ZMA and casein tho? casein 60% calcium

ray empty ur pm box pls i need to continue conversation with you (if you remember) thnx!

If raynor doesnt mind...Take it about 30 mins after you eat, any time i eat casein or CC then take ZMA it doesnt work right for me.

hm..

btw I do drink alcohol like 1-2 times a week

is it ok or alcohol is absolutely forbidden?

absolutely NOT.

You must either use calipers, electrical impedance, or best of all - water testing to determine your approximate body fat %

calculators and formulas are far from accurate on this subject.

Wait at least 30 mins after eating the cottage cheese before taking ZMA, but probably an hour is more conservative.




You are ALWAYS welcome to answer questions in this thread as you know. Your information is also correct on this subject.



edit:

I also wanted to add that casein and it's effects on ZMA are very scattered and depend on the person. I am not quite sure why this is, but I'm leaning towards the idea that it has to do with the level of digestive enzymes present in individual bodies.

It's ok as long as you stay within your calorie range. Also you need to NOT have mixers. In other words, you can have whiskey, vodka, scotch, brandy, cognac, etc. But straight up or mixed with soda water. No mixers, even diet soda is not permitted. Also remember that every shot (1.5 oz) of 80 proof alcohol yields roughly 100 calories.

Alright another question,

Is it ok that I take 1x fish oil capsule, and 1x magnesium capsule per day?.

And, do I need to eat EXACTLY the foods you mentioned in your keto diet?

Or is it also ok that I eat my own foods which has no carbohydrates, high fat and protein?

I would take more than 1x fish oil...try like 2-3 per meal for maximum effect.

you can take magnesium so that it totals out to 1x the amount of sodium you eat per day.


yes your own foods would be fine, just weigh the foods to make sure the calories are correct and also measure all fats/protein so that it equals what you need it to.

Hey raynor, what are the effects of submerging yourself in cold, cold water after a tough workout, I'm not sure why fighters do it, what positive effects does it have? Does it help with cutting weight or recovery or something?
