was hoping for a mean pump, which i got....but.........was concerned about the 'chubby' look??

[devil_911]

if its keeping you pumped then yeah you will be holding a bit more water but its nothing to worry about.certainly wont make you look chubby it will be more of a swollen muscle/pumped look.

you can always try and see how it goes for you and can always stop if you dont like it.it wont be irreversible

i thought L-arginine was all BS, and there wasnt any confirmed reports of it having any benefit for bodybuilders?? but then after reading wiki, it seems to say quite the opposite...

you right on money bro it is mostly bs.its only shown to do somthing in sick ppl at doses 15-20gms.but if someone is taking it for pump and its working for them then let it be

L-Arginine and AAKG are too different forms of arginine

so are you saying that l - arginine doesnt work and AAKG does??

[PeterDolan]

Some studies show conclusive evidence that that statement is true. I don't know enough about either of them and how the work in the body to say if it is but like devil said, even if it is a placebo effect then who cares. Personally I would spend my $$$ on it

I get the meanest dry mouth when that is all I have taken. No matter ho wmuch water I drink, I can't remove that dry feel that comes on about 20 mins later. Especially if cardio is involved.

I have primaForce AAKG. cheap from the states. It lasts forever...
