Your supp stack must be massive dude?

Why would you say that? All I take is my bcaa's during training, protein shake after training but only sometimes, and creatine everyday...along with my multi, fish oil...not a whole lot really...oh I take craze pre training but that's nearly finished now.

So is the DAA worth a pop at all or should I save my money?

Whats your current T levels? What do you know about DAA? What happens your natural T production after you stop DAA?
If you are going to take DAA this forum should be that last place you do you research.

Personally I would eat more steak, lift more, and sleep well and if you’re going to invest in supplement maybe something like ZMA might make a marginal difference to your recovery.

Haven't zma's claims been shown to have been over stated. As too with the claims of zinc alone boosting test

On ZMA it’s more from a personal point of view in that it helps me sleep like a baby which can only be good when training hard. And yes you are correct above normal levels of Zinc has been proved not to increase T or enhance performance. But overall it’s a highly beneficial mineral with studies indicating

It improves depressive disorders
Is essential for normal cell structure and physiology.
Its deficiency causes growth retardation, neuronal degeneration, and immunodeficiency
May help reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes

Zinc is also low risk when supplementing if you take care of your copper levels

Magnesium has a whole host of benefits
Deeper sleep
Positive effect on depressive disorders
Energy production
Muscle contraction and relaxation.

No what he said was to eat more and sleep more. Sleep more being key. If you're not getting quality sleep every night then don't even bother looking into DAA or other test boosters.

I dont see the fuss with DAA. People bang about the 40% increase but fail to understand that that is so little it is negligible.

Normal ranges are 260 -1080 ng/dl as (which corresponds to about 8.8 - 36.7 nmol/l.

Lets say your level is 18nmol/l. So just a fraction below average. DAA use at best will result in 40% increase meaning you end up with 25nmol/l. Just a little over average and well within normal ranges of all the people around you.

Resultant difference= little.

What site is cheapest for Gold standard Protein please?

DL Saint

DAA works great for me, I feel great when taking it and the libido is through the roof. I have also found I am noticeably fuller and more vascular when I am taking it. Personally I think it is a nice, cheap and useful supplement...

Since I've started talking it I've noticed I'm not getting any DOMS, at all !!

Also in the space of a week, my body fat has dropped 1.5 % as well so I'm well chuffed with the results so far.

hey lads,

if you really want to get the most out of your DAA then try running it with an AI - aromatase inhibitor

it limits estrogen production.

when your testosterone raises through using something like DAA, so does your estrogen - your body likes to keep things balanced.

try PES Erase or USM Eradicate for 4 weeks.

neither DAA or these AI supplements are steroids, or illegal in any way.

i would highly recommend this combo.

I've the same concern with bulkpowders...

Thephantomsmask

I've used it for myprotein, theproteinworks and go nutrition with no problems. Usually I'd have 4/5kg of whey and a few 1kg bags of bcaa or creatine. The largest size locker is pretty big tbf.

runawaybishop

The largest Parcel Motel locker size is 41 X 38 X 64 cm. The maximum weight is 10kgs.

^^ the last delivery i got woudlnt have fitted in those dimensions but maybe you can request that they ship within those dimensions?

siblers

Yeah, its worth asking alright. Thanks for the replies. Turns out Bulkpowders is no cheaper when delivering to Antrim than delivering to the rest of Ireland.
I've a referral code as well for BulkPowders, if anyone wants it.

conzy

If a parcel doesn't fit in the "motel" you can collect it from the nearest nightline depot and you wont be charged extra so long as it weighs less than 35kg.

You can also have it delivered for €10.50

This probably been asked a lot already but I'm in the market for whey isolate before the vat is added on the 1st. I'm currently using scitec nutrition but fancy a change as I'm not too bothered with the taste.

Any recommendations??

Thanks,
