Do some research on what your "core" does for the rest of your body and youwill realize why high frequency repetition is beneficialOriginally Posted by upnorth
I would imagine that, like any other muscle, abs would benefit more from heavier weights/more difficult exercises than from tons of reps.

have you tried the flavoured ones yet? i like them more than i like normal tuna straight out of the can, but i'm not picky and would probablybe happy eating canned tuna plain every day. i'd suggest trying some of them though, they aren't much more expensive either. also, try albacore if youcan find it for cheap, tastes way better.Originally Posted by boholkicks

They need time to recover. They aren't some super muscle.

For those of you who don't know much about protein, if you do take it, go on a cut diet without it after about 3 months of taking it(bulking) to get a more toned look. Other than that just cut out protein supplements the whole time and save yourself the effort of having to cut your diet.Originally Posted by eeBS7eez
yeah, i know about 1g per pound of body weight, but is the protein as necessary for toning as it is for gaining? also, do your muscles need the same amount of recovery from toning that they need after heavy weight training?

also americans seem way more into lifting than anyone else....europeans aren't as fat as us but they don't have as many jacked dudes over there either.
also steak is bad.
but other than that, very true....dudes ask me all the time what they should do in the gym to put on some muscle.....and usually the follow that up with "but i don't want to get too big or anything, you know?" as if you do one rep too many and you turn into ronnie coleman.
as for the discussion on abs.....training your abs for endurance definitely is beneficial for lifting or any other athletic activity.....but if you want to get them big, you need to do low rep high weight stuff like any other muscle imo
To go from Skinny to Van Damme or marky mark would take years...your saying it wouldnt?Originally Posted by Joseph Camel Jr

100% Whey Protein Isolate (CFM) Cross-Flow Microfiltration, Natural Orange Cream Flavor (sweetened with Stevia), Jug w/scoop option (can't believe they charge extra for this), & Protease Enzyme Complex
$12.49/lb.
I'm thinking 10 lbs. but I might hate the flavor so I'll probably end up ordering 5. Not like you get a discount for ordering in bulk anyway so w/e.
Order like 2lbs if you've never tried the flavor before. I have a feeling that Orange Cream flavor may not be all it's cracked up to be. Anything that's not Vanilla or Chocolate for protein powders is really hit or miss.
Also, thanks for clearing up the confusion earlier. That's why I said earlier that people should do more research than just this thread on NT for theirinfo, cause there's so much contradiction.
