Hey skc, I just started my weight lifting class and its going pretty good. I'm to sore to do any cardio, but the class is wearing me out in general.

Im currently taking 2 scoops of the amplified gnc whey, 3 orange triads at breakfast 3 at dinner, and 1 fish oil a day.

I was thinking about getting some GAT jet fuel, because I want to burn off fat etc.

Do you recommend any other supplements that I should take?

What does xtend do?

1 fish oil per day? that's actually a waste. Fish oil needs to be taken in huge doses to get any benefit. One fish oil capsule has approximately 1G of good fat. You need to take at least 3 with each food meal to see the benefit. That means all meals (not shakes) should be accompanied by 3x fish oil.

as far as jet fuel - great stuff, highly recommend.

and xtend...this is just the following:

Vitamin B6(as Pyridoxine HCL) 10mg 500%
L-Leucine 3.5g †
L-Glutamine 2.5g †
L-Isoleucine 1.75g †
L-Valine 1.75g †
Citrulline Malate 1g

in addition it has:

Artificial Flavors, Potassium Citrate, Acesulfame Potassium, Sucralose, Pyridoxine HCL.


All of the aminos on board are very basic. I recommend just buying Glutamine, BCAA's, and then Arginine+Ornithine as your Amino Support for the day. You can get this in NOW! Brand for the best quality and price.

Avoid Xtend - artificial crap + high price for what you get = no good.

Too much of anything is ill advised....but taking NOW! Super Omega 3-6-9 at a rate of 3x pills per food meal per day will never get you sick.

Some fish oils are rich in mercury which can get you sick if you overdo it - but again, overdoing it is pretty hard given that you'd have to be drinking upwards of 16 oz of fish oil a day to achieve mercury toxicity.

probably...but its easier to just buy all 3 powders seperately...and mix them into fruit juice or water...this will be the cheapest, most effective, and least contaminated way to get ur aminos

Alright, this shit is getting expensive.

Im about to run out of whey, and I want to buy a 5lb tub this time, gat jet fuel, and those amino's.

Any suggestions on where to buy this stuff? Gnc is overpriced and bodybuilding.com is kinda high too.

go for the 10 LB bag of NOW! 100% whey isolate on BodyBuilding.com - that saves the most money by far.

if you order from bodybuilding.com - use coupon code COMEBACK10PEROFF and you get 10% off ur order....if that doesnt work google it and fine some that do work.

bb is by far the cheapest overall.

I wish I could buy that much at once. Not enough cash, parents will prob help me pay for a little bit.
