Image 1 ( Pumping Iron ): The guy in the middle, obviously no one else than the Austrian Oak, took glutamine, the rest of the guys forgot about it in all the craze about leucine... no, just kiddin' ;-) Still, someone who trains like Arnold, is probably most likely to benefit from additional l-glutamine After all those bad news about allegedly effective supplements, I thought it may be about time to present some good news about an allegedly ineffective supplement: Glutamine!
