take some NAC, SAM-e, a good multivitamin, and eat a clean whole foods diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
the "detox" diets and drinks are scams.

And plus look how unbelievably expensive it is. Correct me if I'm wrong guys, but don't these dudes get commission for selling GNC branded products?
This is what I would recommend:
Better quality product I believe and from a price point it is far superior.

I'll look into NAC, but isn't SAM-e for depression?

Well-marketed circuit training.
He said CrossFit, not P90X. I never understand why people say CrossFit is well-marketed. I've never once seen an advertisement for it. Not to mention,there's nothing 'sexy' about CrossFit - it's painful, grueling, and a mental struggle start to finish.
I've only been doing it for a couple of months now, and I don't think I could ever go back to traditional weightlifting after this. And FWIW, 2 monthsinto crossfit and my 1rm max squat and deadlift absolutely crushed my previous PR.
A nice little video to show you an example of a CrossFit WOD:

it is used for that purpose as mood regulation is one of its benefits, but its biochemical role is that of a methyl donor and offers a lot ofhealth benefits to the liver, brain. it guards against cellular damage and supports joint health as well. it's a pretty amazing chemical.....the onlydownside is its price. it's not crazy expensive but a lot of people have a hard time justifying it when they already take a whole bunch of other stuff.
a dose as low as 100 or 200 mg a day would be beneficial.....i take 600 mg of NAC and 400 mg of SAM-e, for the record.

No one's arguing this, and you're 100% right with your assessment, but you make it sound like this somehow negates it's effectiveness or something.
I will concede this, however. To train at a CrossFit gym costs something like $150 a month (which is ******ed). I'm lucky enough that my gym is simplyCrossFit affiliated and all they did was simply turn an empty room in the gym into a CrossFit room. I still have access to weights and all that jazz for mynormal monthly fee.

Anyway, I banged out on Squats, DL's, and Cleans yesterday and I could barely move all day.� And on top of that, I busted out the old foam roll andI've never been in so much pain in my life I was practically

jay-
no mood swings, and sam-e stabilizes mood, it wouldn't cause anything like that.
laced up jordans- i don't see anything great in that vid.....incline bench > flat bench if you had to only do one, and the incline flies are really notall that great of a lift for mass or functional stremgth or anything really......i'm sure he uses much better workout routines nowadays.

Nah, it's not my intention to criticize it, but it's my goal to educate people that it's not "Crossfit", per se that getsyou the results; it's the aforementioned principles behind Crossfit that are doing the work. If you use those principles in any type of training,you're going to see results.

Circuit training is the best. Efficient, challenging, great for your heart, very functional, etc. Although you're lifting light weights youusually dont lose much strength. I did circuit training only for a month a couple years back and my strength actually went up.
You may wonder why he's doing some isolation exercises and think that its a waste of time but every exercise serves a purpose. First, you want to keep yourheart rate elevated the entire time so doing isolation exercises while you're on 'break' is a good way to keep your heart rate up. Secondly, youwant to try to work out almost every muscle in the body to build endurance. Thirdly, you include some 'easy' exercises to give your body a bit of abreak in between the difficult compound lifts such as bench, squat, deadlift, lunges, rows, etc. I usually threw in some bicep curls or some shoulder or abexercises when I was out of breath and felt like throwing up.
The biggest problem though with circuit training that its almost impossible to do when the gym is crowded.

im not into the anti-steroids thing.....but steroids would be suuuch a dumb move at this point for you. wait after a few years of working out,getting your diet fine-tuned, learning how your body responds to certain stimuli, and see if you want to. don't even think about them at this point.Originally Posted by Rjwco

as for creatine...buy some creapure, no need for any of the fancy creatines as the whole point of creatine supplementation is to achieve creatine saturationwithin the muscles......any sort of creatine will do this.
dont expect any miracles though. im off creatine right now and dont feel any different than when i was taking it. supplements arent magic, diet/sleep iare waymore improtant.

I had a question. I am on a cut but I also lift heavy. How many carbs should I shoot for in a day? 60 70 80? is 100 a lot? Man the days where I get more carbsthen others is night and day in terms of how much I can lift in the gym. But I just get worried on how many grams of carbs I shouldnt pass since Im trying toloose weight.
