I'll just stick to what I'm doing cuz its working fine. although I wont be able to train for 10 days starting the 2nd of March cuz I'll be in Ireland until the 13th knowing me I'll need the relaxation and vacation cuz I do to much anyway. Now here comes the hard part that I'm concerned about more then anything is my parents cuz they don't eat like I do and what not so It'll be hard to keep my nutrition up over there. I'm such ahealth freak and I don't care my dad is jerk cuz he thinks I'm weird becaue I don't eat like him and the rest of the family kinda foolish for me o talk about it huh
I think that u are not making mistake,cause Clutamine is something that alsmot every sportsmen is using it before training and occasionally after it.There is a site full with informations for all kinds of interesting articles,themes and etc. so here is a link:

Glutamine as a supplement is totally worthless.
Let's look at where most of the glutamine sales pitches start out:
"glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid…it makes up 2/3 of the muscle's free amino acid pool"
Sounds cool, right? But wait, what is 'free amino acid pool'?
Answer: It's a negligible portion of a muscle's total amino acid content. It just sounds cool.
What about the first part?
Answer: Glutamine is so abundant that you already get enough, unless you're a vegetarian or have some serious health problem. If you eat a high protein diet, then you already get more than you need.
Wait, but doesn't glutamine prevent muscle catabolism if i take it at certain times?
Answer: Maybe, but if it does it is so slight that it still hasn't been proven. Even if it does, you could get the effect to a much greater extent simply by drinking a glass of milk. (Or anything else with a good combination protein and fat.)

I do train alot in kenpo and in the weight room and also I tend to be walking alot into the city and all around so I think I would need it. and I have been told that I shouldnt take it unless I'm really sore and I feel it works. On my day of rest I just chill for one day and then the next day I'm back to work.
