what?lol dont sod the studies, the studies are the most valid and only acceptable info on things like supplements

Glutamine may work but then again it may not, there are few studies assessing the effects of glutamine in already trained, male, adult individuals using resisitance training. Below are the only ones I know of in trained subjects, showing no effects on a number of things inclusing performance. I must say though, these are only two studies so they do not really draw any foregone conclusions

People forget that a study may show increased performance using e,y and z, but if its not in subjects relevant to what your doing, whose to say itll have the same effect (e.g. substance x may increase strength in elderly hospital patients, but it may not in young male adults performing weight training). Heres an example below when you compare it to the studies above:

In theory you think, more glutamine, greater protein synthesis, reduced risk of over training etc. But the more of something you take, doesnt nesserarly mean the more you'll improve. For example, protein, as we know, taking over a specific amount does not mean extra gains. This said, glutamine may work as there is evidence to suggest it, however theres also evidence that doesnt. Until there is further research into the effects on already trained subjects performing resistance training, I remain critical and except neither one or the other
