Worked wonders for me. Pretty sure most of you are up on it and so am i, but i never gave much a *+@+ about it till now. Def a supp you guys should add. My knees dont crack anymore. 2-4000mg a day

Is there any other way to do that?

Hey guys I could use some advice... I'm overweight and I am trying to lose as much as I can before the summer.

Problem is I don't really know where to start. Any suggestions of what my work out should consist of? Or what kind of diet and supplements I should use.

I weigh 330 rite now (yes I know) and I think at least losing 40 by the summer would be good. Anything more would be Great. Any suggestions???

For helping the joints? Im sure there is but ive never looked into it.

I would like to know too. Could anyone more knowledgeable shed some light?

excessive cardio will decrease muscle gain and to what I've heard your strength gain as well. If your a naturally skinny guy and your tryingto lose weight while gaining size I would say limit cardio to 1-2x a week for 25 minutes or less, because even if your skinny and have some slight fat aroundthe midsection a decent weight training regimen will help with that.

I'm trying to gain muscle while losing fat myself and I do HIIT 1x a week. I've recentely got up to 150 after being 156 last september then droppingalot of fat down to 145 then just got back up to 150. I only hit the gym 2x a week, I do HIIT 1x a week, and the other days I do a 10 minute ab routine.

 

[airforce1s]

been playing some basketball 3-4 times a week and i started p90x yesterday..............and it certainley isnt easy but imma stick with it!

 

[cucumbercool]

I was surprised to find once I had a job again I lost 6 pounds in about 2 weeks without notice. I need another job again but in the mean time I will at leastbe eating less and trying to go in with the situps and pushups to say the least.

i agree with this guy. theres no way u gonna see any real results in 2 weeks. i been gyming it for 2 months 5 times a week weight training and just recentlyhave i seen a physical change in muscle, weight, maybe 5 or 6 pounds of muscle w/ very little fat.

Question... I lift (what my skinny *!$ can), do 300 push ups (it's just 20 every minute, crunches and sit ups. Every other day, I do the core workouts witha little more added on. I know it's usually a good idea to rest your muscles a day or two, which I do as far as lifting and push ups... I'm justwondering if I should take that same approach with my core workouts. I am I stressing my core working it basically the same way every day? All I add on eachcore only day is a swivel situp with weight, so it's essentially the same workout I'd do everyday for my core.

PED's baby.

edit: Nah but I take trenoval. Been illegal in sports for a few years and as of Jan 4th it cant be sold in stores anymore. But that plus krealkalyne, Arginineand ornathine with L-Lysine and 5 whey protein shakes a day do wonders.

whats the ideal weight for a 25yr old 5'9 male? i'm 160lbs and the last two days i've woken up in the middle of the night with shortness of breathbut after i drank some water and stretched out in went away. i walk about 4 miles a day and work out with free weights about 3 times a week.

 

[itsgettinhot]

Alright. I'm about to get back in the gym hard.

These last couple of months i've been goin' back sporadically. Definitely not as consistently as I need to be. I think i'm ready to go all in,though.

Gonna start taking some supplements too:
Fish Oil
Glucosamine
Creatine

Anybody got brands they recommend of any of these?

Day 1 of bringing sexy back diet:
10:00 AM 50g protein shake
1:00 PM 6 inch Subway roasted chicken sandwich. No cheese no oil on wheat bread.
For the rest of the day i'm planning on eating another 1/2 of the Subway sub, probably make some sort of salad, and lots of fruit. Another protein shakeif I goto the gym tonight (class tonight though so I doubt it)

does glutamine really help with crackling knees? Mine have been very bad for years now, I just learned to deal with the noise walking up stairs, but it'dbe nice to get rid of it

Should I consume about 150 grams of protein per day? What can I incorporate into my routine? Do I need to make any dietary/supplemental changes? Should I take the whey in the morning and 30 minutes after working out? How often a week should I incorporate cardio? Thanks

my right knee has been cracking, i might give this a try.......you already get a ton of glutamine in protein shakes though so i don't get why 2-4 g'sextra would make a diff. been thinking of getting some MSM based joint supp like Animal Flex. there's gotta be a better one though. i gotta hit up anorthopedist to see what they say.

Go to the doctor just to be on the safe side. You may be in great shape but some conditions are genetic or out of your control.

Alright i'll help you out. Honestely your diet looks great if all that stuff you posted is what you truly eat. Maybe I would add in some cous cous andquinoa as an alternative if you get bored of pasta. You should def put in some rice though. People are gonna tell you to constantly eat to get in thecalories which is true but you don't need to go overboard, ease yourself into eating more to where you can get to a point where you don't feel weigheddown by all the food.

Since you said you have a high metabolism I would only do cardio 1-2x a week max, but still do your 5 min warmup before excercising. Another thing I wanna addis that because your so young and your body is still maturing get off the regular ON whey and go for the ON Natural Whey and then move onto the Natural ProComplex in like 6 months or a year if your continously training. I say since you just started working out you do a full body routine 2-3x a week for a couplemonths then switch it up to doing splits. I personally don't take a multi-vitamin because I feel I get enough from the foods I eat...you should also lookinto some good cereal in the mornings as well as eggs.

Since your trying to gain mass you should looking into compound excercises like the squat, deadlift, shoulder press, and incline presses to name a few. Do dipsof all kinds (Vertical dips, Chest dips, bench dips) as well as pushups. You should aim for 4 sets and your rep range sounds good.

Both my knees have been makign cracking/ popping sounds since I was about 13 or 14. I don't think it's a a problem at all if there'sno pain/ stiffness associated with it.

Did some 60lb barbell lunges and midway through my session, left knee joint started to hurt. Whats the problem? Any recommended solutions?

I read up on some knee wraps and their success stories, can anybody relate?
