Are the Biogen GABA caps a good form of GABA to take? Primary reason for me buying it would be for sound sleep? Is it safe?

Gamma Aminobutyric Acid is a gamma neurotransmitter that plays a significant role in hypothalamic-pituitary function affecting all hormonal functions of the body including Growth Hormone. Gamma Aminobutyric acid stimulates the production of Growth Hormone (GH). GABA supplements are helpful for any active individuals, bodybuilders and athletes. GH has been found to facilitate the metabolism of fats in the body resulting in startling fat loss. GH is widely known for its powerful muscle building effects.

Uses and benefits
• Reduces muscle tension
• Promotes relaxation
• Enhances quality of sleep
 
GH tends to decrease with age, making it harder to lose fat and build muscle. This is one reason why GABA increases the deepness and quality of sleep and obtaining more rest can lead to greater energy throughout the day. All of these benefits together translate to an overall increase in wellness, youthfulness and a definite rise in energy.

You guys seem to really miss the point. I don't care about putting on fat, actually, I AIM to put on fat.

This makes no sense to me ... why put on fat when u can put on lean muscle instead? If your body fat is low enough for a six pack that's not a bad problem to have. And even if you are super skinny, putting on fat will surely just give you a boep?

I need some ideas for exercises to do the next few weeks that doesn't involve one's core muscles. I know it sounds crazy but I hurt a muscle/s and after a week of not really going to gym it still doesn't feel any better.

So I will be visiting a physio therapist this week, already got a list I can call on Monday morning to see where I can get a spot.

Looking at this pic:

I think its between the serratus anterior and/or external oblique on my right side that got torn while doing some DIY work at home.

Going to hate not doing squats and do stuff like leg presses ect instead, but I need/want to do at least something while those muscles repair, but the requirement is I need stuff that won't activate them. So it will probably end up being mostly machines, though I guess no matter how I look at it, chest will probably not happen.

Any ideas for exercises?

I can't help - I'm the worst person when it comes to injuries.. I just hammer through them... probably doing more damage... like my bloody knee.

Because I have enough to worry about, let alone watch everything I put into my mouth. Milk is by far the cheapest solution to gaining weight, and if I put on some fat as you say, so be it, I'm not going to cry about it - I have enough time to lose it doing I.F. I have been for far too long been obsessed with the notion of gaining "lean muscle mass omg" up to the point where I basically stayed the same weight and plateaued on my lifts, for months. Ever since eating like a beast I've spike through my PR's while seeing noticeable differences in my body (and not at all a boep, as you so valiantly claim).

That's my problem, upper abs show and stick out even through t-shirt but that last little bit around bottom I'm going to nail come summer time, still enjoying my braai and beer at the moment on weekend's.

Can someone comment the quality of the VA in greenstone eastern jhb? decent weightlifters gym as far as VAs go or one of the newer crappy ones with a weight section smaller than a bedroom? I may have to use it in future but i cant check i lt out prior. If it is crap are there decent weightlifter gyms around the area?

Its ok...from what i recall the db's only go up to 50kg's though, and theres only one squat rack
But if you train after 7:30pm or on weekends its not a problem
My only gripe with the place (besides the limited db's) is they seem to have an aversion to using the aircon and the weights area can be a bit stuffy
You also guaranteed to atleast see 5 people wearing monster caps/beanies/wife beaters, but thats expected in the east rand, and you can just ignore them

Got a problem with the east rand boet? I will meet you with my tap out shirt and monster cap and bliksem you china
