    Gym lifters - do you think it’s necessary to take things such as glutamine and BCAA? I want to lift heavier and have set a deadlift goal for myself by mid Jan (for when I turn 40 haha). I’ve never included them into my workouts (at most I may just make a shake or something) and but my new PT said its worthwhile for recovery and to hit heavier targets.

      All I know is when I was about 10, a friend of mine gave me a bunch of glucose tablets before I ran a 800m race. I was so pumped I won by half a lap. The next meet, no tablets, lost by a lap.
