HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!! I hope you all surrounded around people who love and adore you as much as I do! I wish you all the greatest food, many laughs, great football and probably needed gas masks!! haha (I’m not pointing my finger at anyone, don’t worry ___.)
But, to continue on my Glutamine run,
Since over 61% of your skeletal muscle is Glutamine, I believe this is an important topic to cover.
Bodybuilders take anywhere from 10-15 grams of Glutamine daily, only 5 grams per shake.
The most important time to take Glutamine is your pre and post workout shakes.
Take 5 grams before your workout out and 5 grams immediately after.
You can also take Glutamine in the morning and directly before you go to bed.
On a rest day, feel free to not take your Glutamine, unless you are sore from your previous workout the day before. Then you should take another 5 grams to help your muscles recover.
If you take too much Glutamine, you may feel nauseated or get an upset stomach. So please follow the recommended doses.
Even if you do follow the recommended doses and still feel like you have an upset stomach just lower a number of grams you take until you find what works for you. Try to start with 2 grams and build up to 5 over time. xxx <3 A&L
PS. I usually post a picture on each post… but seriously, you can only post so many pictures about Glutamine. So here’s our little Russell the love muscle!
