Mag 10?

[Rahul]

I've been working out for about a year and I think I've built up a pretty solid base (~40 lbs of muscle gain) and I was considering adding in MAG 10 and possibly tribulus to my supplements. I heard about it from a trainer at my gym and it sounds like it's just what I'm looking for, but I really dont know that much about it.

Can any of the workout experts give those of us with less experiance in the feild some information on MAG 10 and other products of it's kind? I really don't want to put something into my body that I don't have very much information on and I'm sure a lot of other members have similar questions.

Maybe there could even be a new stickyed thread "DIESEL'S GUIDE TO SUPPLEMENTS" *hint *hint

You're too young for MAG-10. You don't really need it.

There would be no point in taking tribulus and MAG 10 at the same time as the Mag 10 would surpress endogenous testosterone production and tribulus would not be able to compensate for it. Tribulus can be benefical after a cycle of MAG 10 or 1AD. But as mentioned, 18 is a little young for MAG 10 and you seem to be making excellent gains as you are for now and there is no reason this should not continue. You could try Tribulus at about 1500mg per day if you desired. Some think it's crap but I get small but noticable results with it.

40 lbs in one year? Good job dude! Ah, to be a teenager again. I didn't start working out until my early 20s.

Like others have said, don't start Mag 10 just yet. You can try some milder supplements. I would consider ZMA and possibly Tribex-500 (both made by the same company that produces Mag 10).

Out of curiosity, what were your stats (i.e. height, weight) before you started?

Thanks, I think I could have made better gains if I had gotten training earlier on since I've actually gained 10 lbs within the last 6 weeks or so because of an increased diet and professional training assistance.

When I started I was about 5' 10" and 105 lbs now I'm at 5'11" and 145ish (and growing fast). I was just considering MAG 10 because I thought it would be a good way to increase the rate at which I gain muscle so that I could be able to reach my goal weight (~180 w/ 5% bodyfat) by the end of this year, but now I realize that I'm just being greedy and I should just tough it out and wait.
