I've been taking Tribestan for about a month and just started taking r-ala--since I have seen some gains in my arms, chest, how would you know if its from working out or from the supplements?
r-ALA will make you stronger. You don't say how long you've been taking it but you will notice an increase in strength after you've been on it for while. The answer to your question "is it the supps or the training?"... it's the combination of course.
I have been on Tribestan for about 40 days and r-ala about a week - is there a certain mg that should be taken of r-ala for it to be effective - I take about 200 mg before my pre-workout drink and 200 with my post workout drink.
