Glutamine? What is with people taking supplements? Just eat a healthy and balanced diet!

Well, supplements have their advantages. At the rates some people train, supplements may be necessary. Also, a protein shake is much easier to put down compared to a chicken breast after a high intensity workout. Besides, you can't isolate and get the same type of results with food - supplements work faster and better, and you don't get all the extras tagged along with food. Compare a creatine loading phase to trying to get the same amount of creatine from say, beef, or steak. You'd easily be tacking on 500-1000 more unecessary calories just to get the naturally occuring creatine from the food.

 

Supplements are isolated, higher quality, work better, easily absorped - but don't get me wrong, I still believe food is the most important thing in nutrition.

Yes supplements can help but what alot of people do is they dont follow the directions to them and up the doses and then they begin to have problems.

9-10 hours of sleep,

Wow. That would be nice.

I'm in graduate school so I get about 3-4 hours of sleep a night. I can do this for about 2 weeks straight befor I need to crash for 12-14 hours to recharge my batteries. I have heard that too much sleep is a bad thing. My problem is not getting enought sleep.

Your body will tell you how much sleep you need.

I couldn't agree more. When my body starts to wake up normally, I know I've gotten enough sleep, and yeah, sometimes it can be more than 8 hours, and sometimes less. I may still be sleepy for a bit till I get moving, but once I'm up, I feel rested and alert.

i cant sleep usually after i work out. like i feel like i should keep going b/c i never have that much energy so i workout when i cant sleep. counterintuitive.
