NO2 + Weight gain? - Wanna Be Big Bodybuilding and Weightlifting Forums

KingJustin · 04-22-2006, 07:12 PM

Ok so I got back from the gym today. I'm bulking so I've been putting on weight and such. I've been on creatine for a couple months, and this last couple week I was between 124-126ish or so. Well, I took some NO2 supplement that my roommate has 2 days ago and did my normal workout. I weighed in at 126 at the time. Yesterday I didn't take it and I weighed in at 126 as well. Today, I take NO2 supplement, and I go to workout at the same time of day as always, and I'm 131. I have been definitely gaining weight and eating a lot, especially the last few days, but I definitely did not expect to have gained 5 pounds in one day. Is this typical for NO2 or did I actually gain that weight legitimately?

And the scale is not broken.

are you asking if l-arginine somehow (without any differences in diet) put on 6lbs in one day?

No.

But remember, your weight changes constantly. Time, diet, all are factors at one time of the day.

everytime you start a phase of No2 you gain 5lbs of lbm.

That's what I heard to... So if I were to go on it for 3 days then off for one then back on for 3 days I would have already put on 10lbs of LBM?

Ever think that what you're eating may play a role in that?

i dont think its what im eatting, its probley me being more active because of the caffeine.

sCaRz*Of*PaiN · 04-22-2006, 11:03 PM

Ok...eat more calories than you're burning and see if the caffeine makes you lose weight.

sCaRz*Of*PaiN · 04-22-2006, 11:48 PM

never said it did

My ****ting was steady and consistent. I have been steadily moving up about a pound a week recently. When I saw 231 I was just like "holy ****." I would have expected to gain weight if I wasn't already on creatine and if I took the stuff for a couple weeks, but not just by taking a whole 2 scoops of it in 3 days.

sCaRz*Of*PaiN · 04-23-2006, 02:59 PM

They use it for energy.

Wild Cat McCane · 04-23-2006, 03:02 PM

Seems to me that getting energy equates to using energy.

Maybe I am the only twitchy one on it though *shrug
