Hello. I hope this went to the right forum as I have about 6 tabs opened jumping from tab to tab reading about stuff.
I am a 44 year old male.
5’11 at 185 with about 12% BF. I think.
I lift 4 - 5 times a week and hit every major body part. (even squats. Uhg!)
I take (1) prescription drug called Omeprazole 20mg daily. Now its OTC but I can get it free since I was already taking it on a script before it was made OTC.
Daily vitamins:
Ultimate Nutritions Bulgarian Tribulus 2 caps for 1500mg
Generic Multi-Vit
Generic Glucosamine w/ Chondroitin ( bottle says 2 but I only take one as this is enough to keep the joint pain away from lifting.)
Yohimbe bark extract 1 pill 450mg
Protein shakes per day equals about 3 for 65 grams
Post work out shake is a Serious Mass Shake from Optimum Nutrition for 56 grams protein
Can of tuna fish
3 to 5 small meals through the rest of my second shift job.
I try to get 180 to 200 grams of protein
I am doing a cycle called the TriFecta Stack from LG Sciences:
Its 5 Methyl 1-D XL sized capsules per day
And 4 Methyl Masterdrol tablets per day.
then last 2 weeks with Formadrol
Following this stack with 2 weeks of T-911
I also take Glut-amine 10G day and creatine 10G day
I also use NO pills prior to workouts and post workouts.
I seem to get nice huge pumps lately and after 2 weeks I feel great.
Are there somethings I could change around to get some better results or should I do another 1 to 2 cycles with this TriFecta stack?
Also, I have my blood work for my Test labs. Gah! all the numbers were right in the middle of all the ranges. No script for me…LOL
I was taking some Omega 3 but they were causing me bad burp taste/heart burn issue. Maybe I need to take a better brand of them.
I want to gain muscle that’s for sure. I can tell I am increasingly getting stronger and the belly fat is slowly going away due to eating cleaner and less junk food but…adding mass is slow.
My metabolism is such that I can get cut but cant add mass very easily.
Why the Omeprazol? Stomach/eusophagus issues? I used to take that (here in Belgium it’s still only prescription…)… but that’s broad(er) spectrum antibiotics, right?
If you have indeed got certain digestive issues, that might be one of the reasons you don’t add mass easier… I’ve been getting better results since I looked into enzymes and probiotics and the likes. There was an article about gut health on here recently ( Strength Training, Bodybuilding & Online Supplement Store - T NATION ) that has some more info.
As far as for the Omega 3’s, good brands might help, also, I take them before I have a solid meal, that helps me with the bad burp/heartburn

Yes the Omeprazol is for heartburn. I only take a half dose as this is plenty to keep it at bay.
I will check out that article you mentioned.
