Overview
The video provides an update on the speaker’s experience using Five Amino 1MQ during bodybuilding prep, focusing on results, lessons learned, and planned adjustments for the next competition cycle.
Five Amino 1MQ: Mechanism and Effects
- Five Amino 1MQ blocks the NNMT enzyme, increasing NAD+ levels to boost cellular metabolism and fat utilization.
- Additional benefits may include reduced blood cholesterol, which can be helpful for those managing obesity risk.
- The supplement is popular in the bodybuilding community and is available in capsule and injectable forms.
Personal Experience and Results
- The speaker initially followed a zero-carb approach during prep, which led to significant muscle loss and weakness.
- Insufficient carbohydrate intake while using fat burners like Five Amino 1MQ resulted in reduced strength and muscle size, especially in the legs.
- Despite using the supplement, the speaker could not achieve desired conditioning in certain muscle groups due to genetic limitations.
Adjustments and Future Game Plan
- Carbohydrate intake has been increased to about 500g daily, with proteins at body weight (~227 lbs) and fats at 70-100g per day.
- The plan is to taper carbs down to no less than 250g closer to the upcoming show, with periodic high-carb days (up to 600g).
- The approach is experimental and based on combining scientific reasoning with personal observation.
- The speaker notes the importance of aligning diet with workload, especially regarding carbohydrate needs for leg training during prep.
Supplement Forms and Efficacy
- Both capsule and injectable forms of Five Amino 1MQ were used; the injectable is described as more potent and faster-acting.
- Dosage and detailed experiences with the injectable will be discussed further on Patreon.
Community Engagement and Resources
- The speaker invites audience feedback about their experiences with Five Amino 1MQ and cutting diets.
- Additional content and in-depth discussions are available on Patreon, along with links to social media and coaching contact information.
Recommendations / Advice
- Always consult a doctor before starting any supplement regimen.
- Do not rely solely on fat burners; proper diet and consistent training are essential.
- Focus carbohydrate intake on whole foods with low fat, avoiding processed foods except for occasional cheat meals.
Action Items
- Within Next Week or Two – Speaker: Reintroduce Five Amino 1MQ, preferably in injectable form, into prep regimen.
- TBD – Speaker: Create and upload a detailed video on injectable use and dosage to Patreon.
