This is the best post I've see you post, keakdasneak, er I mean keepsdasneaks.
Anyway, jury duty might throw my routine off. I hope that doesn't happen. I would hate to have to gym it up with the 5o'clockers.

Anyone who takes no-xplod should try switching to Jack3d. No extra supplements and "stuff" added. A "cleaner" pre-workout supplement without the explosion. Puts you in that zone without feeling shaky or jittery.
I've taken NO-Xplod and not knocking but, I've used it for about 2 months and recently switched over. Don't get me wrong I feel like I've gotten huge gains with it.
My bench max is now 225 compared to 185 2 months ago. Nowhere to go but up.

If i'm trying to stay in shape.. does it make a difference if I drink Beer or Liquor (with a diet mixer). The calories are about the same, but besides that is there a difference?

Why do people assume that losing fat and building muscle are incompatible? Don't you burn more calories while weightlifting than you do when doing a standard cardio routine? I always thought it was most effective to do both when trying to lose fat. People also need to stop worrying about how much protein they're taking in. Most people get over 100g of protein in their diets, which is enough, especially for people who have no intentions of being massive. There's no need to be taking 200+ grams of protein unless you're huge, and there really is no reason to use protein powders. To the person who asked if he could still drink liquor, alcohol inhibits protein synthesis and obviously damages your liver so if you want to stay in shape I would say to stop drinking or at least drink in moderation. If you're going to drink, you may as well just drink, adding something to it won't change anything. The calories are not as damaging as the alcohol itself is to your body.

i wouldnt do that diet, there are plenty ways to lose fat without ketosis. the majority of people that use keto are doing contest prep, and are not sustaining that type of eating...

Add up all the protein you're already getting from your diet and start from there.
That being said, I've actually fallen off of the protein powder bandwagon. I used to be a shake fanatic--now I just buy gallons of chocolate milk.

I am still kinda funny about how I feel about grown humans consuming milk from another animal. The whole concept always was weird to me. I have slowed down a lot. But I love Special K and all of its different flavors.
Trying not to consume any meat for a month and will spike up my veggie intake.
For protein I will consume many beans even though they were already a staple in my diet.
I am really not stuck on the whole, "I must get X amount of protein per day."
1. I don't even count at all. Couldn't be further from my mind.
2. I am satisfied where I am cosmetically and cardiovascular wise.
3. Just don't care honestly. I do but it isn't a major issue for me.

I actually managed to deadlift 4 45 plates on the last work out. It went like 2x45 plates 10 reps (warm up), 2x45 + 2x25 10 reps, 4x45 10 reps, 4x45 6 reps (my grip was weakening so I had to lower it down a level), 2x45 + 2x25 8 reps. Does anybody have tips to help with my grips on deadlifts? I find my grip dying out before my actual back does. I'm sure I could manage more reps with 2 plates on each side if my grip would just be stronger.

Congrats on the progress man. I bet gettin off the cigs and liquor make you feel real fresh. How does your routine look like?
For my fitness heads in general, how often do you workout a week? I find that if I work out or play sports 5 times out of the week, my body becomes very tired to the point of needing naps and such. I usually go to the gym 2x a week and stay at the handball courts 2x a week as well.

When is it a good time to do abs? How long before/after a meal?
I get very paranoid when it comes to working out my abs. I feel like if I have a good workout, but then eat a meal afterward, then the workout has gone to waste.

you should be eating after a workout, just keep it healthy if youd like to be lean
just train abs with your other muscles 1-2 days out the week
doesnt matter really

Breast milk? is it any good? might have to hit up a pregnant female for the sample.
I ALWAYS have 4L of choco and 4L of white milk in my fridge. probably 8 cups a day
