For L-Carnitine:
What’s going on guys welcome to today’s video where i was watching a live stream last night there there were lots of things said on there way more reputable people than i am talking about things that i’ve been trying to tell you guys about for a little while now but before we get into all of that make sure you hit the subscribe like and the notification bell
So you know whenever i start a live stream whenever i put up one of these videos so that you don’t miss out so before we get into all of this what i want to tell you guys to do right now not only subscribe to me but you need to go to instagram and subscribe to jason theobold who is the scooby prep coach he is a classic physique ifbb pro and then you need to
Go follow justin mihaly he is a pretty well-known coach in the industry and then of course the other person that we’re going to bring up in this video who brought the question up on the live stream logan guthrie classic physique competitor so yesterday i was watching jason and justin’s live stream on instagram and there were a lot of great questions coming in
And a lot of their answers like were spot on from you know how i would answer things and as i was going through the chat i was just kind of watching the chat i was communicating with some people on there i saw lg the future asked the question which for those of you that don’t know lg the future is logan guthrie that’s his handle on instagram logan asked why
Are more guys not utilizing metformin and i was just like oh my gosh like this is an ifbb pro bringing up metformin like i didn’t use metformin for a lot of last year because you know if you’ve been following my channel for a while i said i i was using lots of burberry and at the time i told you guys like i have not yet found an ifbb pro that was open about
The fact that they use metformin i just i i was the of the people that i was following and of the people that you know put up a q a i would ask the question you know that like that’s what i would ask is do you like metformin do you put your clients on metformin what do you think about metformin like i was asking that question around and nobody was giving me an
Answer either they weren’t answering it or they would say no and that they use their sponsors supplement of course you know why wouldn’t they and then in the middle of last year i came across john jewett and john jewett which another person you absolutely should go follow amazing amazing content um i came across john jewett and learned that he utilizes metformin
He uses 500 milligrams before bed and that was like okay here we go i found a top olympian bodybuilder who uh who utilizes metformin amazing all right now let’s get some information john jewett has his j3 university which i have been through all of his modules on there it’s an amazing class absolutely go sign up for that and he goes into a lot of detail on all
Things peds and including metformin once i went through that and learned much more about it and you know how he utilizes it i hopped on the bandwagon and started utilizing metformin as well and i have not looked back since through john jewett i learned about victor black victor black although not a very well-known coach in the industry he is probably the leading
Forefront on safer use models and he talks about metformin as well and all of its benefits so if you want to know a little bit more about the whole metformin uh bit then go follow him as well victor blackmaster class that is his instagram handle he is also on youtube as well and he also has his own uh paid website where you can get more information uh from him
It’s victorblackmasterclass.com so finally i started coming across these people these these more well-known people that utilize metformin and uh you know then i was like okay this this is this is it let’s start sharing more information about metformin to you guys and since then you know i haven’t shut up about it about metformin and tell me sarton and you
Know there’s a zettamine a couple other things but metformin that’s what we’re talking about today so i was watching the live stream yesterday logan guthrie asks this question which would lead you to believe like of course logan didn’t say that he uses it but it’s fair to assume that if he’s asking that question he probably is using metformin you know so he asked
The question they kind of got lost in the comments but i saw it and then you know a little bit of time went by and uh i realized wow they’re gonna they’re gonna miss this question so then i reposted it and said hey guys logan asked why more guys don’t utilize metformin towards the end of their live stream they saw that they read it and here is what they had to
Say you know what i think a lot of guys do but i i don’t know maybe using that if you’re using gh and i would be using it i don’t know i i i guess i don’t understand where you think a lot of guys don’t most guys that i know are utilizing metformin i think it’s a great drug there’s a lot of positive benefits to it so you know i i think the one drawback that you’ll
See is like some people the first week have like diarrhea it does kind of remodel the microbiome a bit metformin exhibits its actions all of its benefits are exhibited through that remodeling of the gut uh oh i say all very loosely not all a mature that’s what starts to cascade of metformin positive events is by retooling the gut like all you i’ll use metformin
In people who have poor gut health um to kind of help re-tool things if i think that it fits um you know what’s needed there but i i i wouldn’t have any big guy not using metformin yeah i think a lot of guys are using it logan um both justin i think it’s a great drug um you know i i have issues with uh poor insulin sensitivity in the in the family um and i’ve
Seen mine rise you know over time especially when i get four or five six hundred carbs in me um so i think metformin is kind of a must-have for me and for guys like me and gals who are more prone to that type 2 diabetes on their family so um about 500 mix with a thousand megs off season is all you really need and it should have you working pretty good some people
Need 1500 but i noticed they’re a little flatter and then you gotta just start putting more carbs in them so then it’s like well aren’t you just kind of defeating the purpose yeah but now you’re just putting more glycogen load on the body that the 500 extra 500 has to deal with so try around there and see but i think it’s a great a great drug to add so there you
Guys have it there is a few more guys that are promoting metformin and you know i was on the same page as logan guthrie asking this question because i was like why aren’t more people talking about metformin and logan i think the the real problem here is that you know guys maybe can’t be open about it or or don’t want to be open about it because most supplement
Companies sell a gda berberine type product which would be completely absolutely competing with metformin so you know i i get it why a lot of sponsored athletes might not be able to say that they use metformin it is what it is like i’m with redcon one retcon one sells a gta product i’m not even sure what it’s called i don’t promote it so up so much you know there
Are lots of things that i do promote from redcon1 but their gda product is not really one of them so yeah so it was just nice to see you know a bunch of higher level guys talking about something that i’ve been trying to tell you guys about make you more aware about you know i want to bring this you know to light to you guys so that you don’t think that i’m just
Like the only person trying to talk about this kind of stuff you know i mean we’ve got john jewett victor black now we’ve got logan guthrie justin mahali jason theobold couple classic physique ibb pros that we have you know talking about this now which i highly recommend go follow them absolutely go follow them great information and then once they got done talking
About metformin they kind of shifted to another great thing that i’ve been talking about with you guys is tell me sergeant i’ve been pushing tommy sarton on you guys probably probably a little longer than i’ve been trying to push metformin on you guys um tommy starting another great drug they they moved on to start talking about that so just as some bonus content
Let’s see uh what these guys had to say about tommy sark i feel very similarly about thomas sartan yes majority if you’re a serious bodybuilder you should probably be taking these three yep yep agreed tom sartan’s got tons of benefits guys uh if you’re if you’re putting do you think there’s someone someone someone said to me that someone saw about how thomas
Sartan like uh can have an extremely negative effect on kidneys and stuff didn’t mean the research on that promotion there was someone on pro muscle saying it no that’s not correct i mean no i didn’t and in like the rarest instances imaginable you could be hyperkalemic which is you know excess potassium which is unbelievably rare it’s so rare i’m not even sure
It’s listed as a side effect of telling the sartain honestly um but now you should use thomas tartan i mean you really should start at a low dose your girls start 10 milligrams your guys are 20 milligrams and you know you can probably work from there but tell me i found 40 as a sweet spot with a lot of people if you’re trying to improve lvh like you’ve had a
Test and you’ve got you know some lvh uh you can go 80 migs and it’ll help help that and help remodeling that but i don’t find that if you’re just one of the people that you know go a little hypertensive get a little thicker blood want that thinned out you know 40 megs is a pretty standard dose but yeah it brings in some sensitivity too i stay right around 126
Like 68 which is about the best i’ve ever been i was hypertensive for the last like four freaking years man and unfortunately runs in my family too yeah yeah much yeah it’s a i mean honestly guys uh if i didn’t bodybuild but i know what i knew i would still take metformin until i’m assard like just to live longer and not have my organ stress but you know
That’s just me so there we go guys um great information there completely completely agree with everything that they had to say on the subject of metformin and tommy sergeant there at the end um so yeah what do you guys think what do you guys have to say about all that you know leave it down in the comments below if you want to add to it or you know maybe bring
Up arguments about it bri you know by all means please share your thoughts share your opinions down in the comments section below that’s all i’ve got for you guys today thank you so much for coming in and hanging out with me remember nobody cares train harder and i will see you all next time you
