Guest guest Posted April 1, 2000 Report Share Posted April 1, 2000 Let me tell you about glycerol.... I had some thoughts about what I thought it would taste like. Thought it might taste something like flavorless oil. Thick. whatever. BUT NOOOOOOO.... ....this stuff is hideously sweet!!! And it's not exactly a good sweet either. It's like a mouthful of thick corn syrup...or pancake syrup but no maple flavor. PURE SUGAR....bleh! IT IS JUST TOO SWEET. Bless your hearts if you can stomach this stuff down. Glycerin cocktail. Some fine California Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvingon and Twin Lab Glycerol Fuel with a tad of water. DOUBLE BLEH! ha ha ha Not having drank alcohol hardly at all this challenge...my birthday was the only big drinking weekend...and being a light weight to begin with....let's just say, I need to go to bed and get my muscle rest for these pictures. =) Good night Jim Bob, Good night Ellen. ha ha ha....I'm in a GOOD mood! Love to all in the room, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am exited that I will also get to meet you and lots of the rest of the wonderful people here in Las Vegas. QUESTION: Obviously this Glycerin thing is something Nic is doing prior to final photos. Can someone explain to me what it does? My pix are in 3 weeks. Thanks all of you and congratulations to those finishing!!!!!! & Jimmy Hinson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2000 Report Share Posted April 3, 2000 Red wine acts as a diurectic to dehydrate excess water and to act as a vaso-dilator. The glycerol shoots any water left in your system to your muscles and increases vascularity for a more cut look. It increases the pump in your muscles and makes it last longer instead of just 1/2 and hour or two. It only works and looks good on someone with a lower bodyfat....like maybe 15% or lower. The phosphagen HP just adds creatine to your system to increase the pump in your muscles. Also taking NWB or other diurectic just increases the effect. For me it just made me look ripped up especially my abs. I had the whole six pack by Sunday morning. And drinking the cocktail during the shoot helped keep that cut look 2 1/2 hours into the shoot after I had pumped up before the picture taking. It made it last a long time. But I'll tell you one thing. It's a day later and I STILL haven't recovered my proper water balance. I'm very bloated and not digesting food real well...but then again I'm eating an INSANE amount of pizza, breadsticks, muffins, chocolate, etc. and just a week ago I was eating nothing but tuna, chicken, steak, and broccoli. So I look like an Ethiopian child with my tummy popped out. Be careful and be prepared to unbotton your jeans. So worth it though!!! - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
