Primarily it's supposed to cause your pituatary gland to produce more growth hormone, up to 600% apparently more, and this then leads to the good stuff: fat burning and muscle building. That's not all it does though - it's also a neurotransmitter that prevents the reuptake of serotonin which means obviously you've got some more of that floating around in your brain. That then leads to sleepiness, a pleasant mood, tingling and bloody weird and vivid dreams. For these reasons it's been used as everything from a sleeping aid, to a mood enhancer. We're obviously interested in it as a bodybuilding supplement however. So there's the science (sort of) but to be honest it seems no one really knows what it does exactly and different people will say different things. Some people say it can't cross the blood-brain barrier so doesn't work while others say it's almost a 'natural high'. Some nutters even use it to true and achieve lucid dreaming (where you realise you're dreaming and learn to control it). There was only one way to find out! So I took it Friday night and noticed nothing much except maybe a slight dullness - none of the tingling or other side effects (although I did have a strange dream that half my skull was visible as I was missing skin). So then Saturday I decided I would take a bigger dose during the day so that I could monitor the results. Again I didn't feel much other than a bit of tiredness. I rang my cousin on her mobile and told her about it and she shouted 'Adam you don't need to do drugs!' apparently she go some funny looks in Tescos. That night I had a weird dream about dead whales washing up on the beach. All the next day I felt groggy and tired and probably wasn't great company for my poor Aunt. I cheered up when she gave me some Apple Juice cartons to take home but it did make me think - how are you supposed to workout when it makes you too groggy to even think clearly? That night I missed my session and went straight to bed. Something I haven't done un-planned for months. I've done workouts when burned, infected with cellulitis and with broken bones... not like me at all. Sunday night I took the recommended dose again before going to bed. That was the strangest night of all. While I was lying their I felt like I was lying next to my body. That's not something they write about on the bodybuilding forums. Then today at work I felt properly bizarre. Like the Pink Floyd song 'Comfortably Numb' I just felt all warm and didn't want to move. I kept having weird flash-backs to things from years ago and my skin felt cosy... I mean normally it feels fine I don't have a problem with it but you never really appreciate it... To be honest I wasn't doing my best work this morning. I was mainly sitting there smiling and enjoying the moment. I was so out of it that I went into the manager's office telling her a piece of paper had 'dissapeared into the photocopier' only to then correct myself by saying 'hang on I'm holding it actually'. I then later didn't realise that I had said something only in my head instead of out loud. So there's no doubt that this stuff does *something*; it's almost like being drunk if you take it in large doses, but I really wouldn't recommend it for bodybuilders. While I did seem to cut up over the next week or so I was actually losing mass due to the fact that I'd run out of energy to workout.
