lol, I was just dicking around.
Though I had seen that asked in some shitty magazine at the dentists office that it had 5-7g of protein, some dumb chick was asking if it was atkins friendly or some such bull shit. Not sure how much protein it takes to create that 5-7g though, lol.
read this thread, and all the advice, and links going to more articles. Has all the information you could ever need, and then some.
Yeah, for sure it should be a staple for you pre/post workout.
Just so long as you have your diet in order as well, it isnāt magic 
That would be the 1st supp I would recommend to anyone, 2nd being creatine/dextrose.
Hmmā¦ What up gang? Shu reporting backā¦ Montreal was a fucking blastā¦ I put on some fatā¦ my buddies mom made the best brownies and i couldnāt help itā¦ went all outā¦ Either wayā¦ TIESTO WAS SIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiCK!!
Magnus: What up bro, how were your holidays? I think you should take that client of yours to a psychiatrist dudeā¦ oreo and a banana? OR a better idea would be to tell her to drink milk because calcium helps you lose weightā¦ (which is trueā¦) and liquid calories will make it easier for her to down.
Now to work out related stuff:
Iām back at 170 14% fat it seems.
Now the plan is:
Eat a fucking shit load, Lift a fucking shit load.
Iām doing a ācleanā bulk, I donāt care if i gain a little fatā¦ I want fucking muscle. Iām going to chow down everything [healthy] in sight.
Way i look at it isā¦ iāve been overanalyzing shit wayyyy too much. iām a fucking beginner still. not been a year of consistent trainingā¦ I can just eat a shit load and lift a shit load and gain mass easilyā¦ so thatās what i plan on doingā¦ next time I post I want to be 10 lbs heavierā¦ later guys.
Eat big, lift big.

Finally someone sees thru all the pseudo-scientific bullshit thats out there about nutrition and training (most of it provided by gasp SUPPLEMENT companies) and realizes its about eating and training.
For sure. #1 thing is to get your diet in order. Then work on everything else later.
i havent worked out for a week cause i have been sick with strep and it is driving me crazyā¦this sunday it starts againā¦I CANT WAIT!!! im like counting down the days lolā¦

Interesting.
The more and more I think about it though, I probably donāt eat enough.
I mean, the fact that I look at what Magnus eats and then freak out probably means that I am not eating enough.
I signed up for a membership at Ballyās and signed on with a personal trainer for $90 (4 sessions). I told him upfront that I was going to cancel my membership after the first month because they want to lock me into a 3 year contract and Iām not too comfortable with that when I have a gym at school. Soooooooooo, Iām kinda pumped!
When you start working out eating more is something your body should want to do anyway.
Little off topic, but anyone hear about that person who drank too much water and died? It was a contest or something for a Wii, drink the most water and donāt piss the longest. I think it was a woman who died, not sure exactly what happened.
What I donāt get is what happens when you drink too much water? And how can you not urinate? wonāt it eventually come out whether you want it to or not?
basically you are creating an imbalance in your electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium etc) and cause your cells to get oversaturated due to osmosis,ā¦ and if that happens, your cells will cease to work, and if your nerve cells, especially in the brain, donāt work, you will dieā¦
thatās just the gist from a laymanā¦
and though itās not the same thing, if you donāt have enough of those electrolytes, you could do some serious damage to your systemā¦ i had two aunts recently who were working out a ton but not eating right and got REALLY sick because one didnāt have enough sodium and the other potassiumā¦ i mean it was life threateningly badā¦
so make sure you replenish them after you work outā¦ not necessarily with gatorade, you can get that ish from meat n stuffā¦ but i donāt think people on this board have a problem with eating
Whats better to take BCAAās with water or grape juice?
Been reading up an I hear the sugar in grape juice helps your body absorb them better?
I been taking mine with water, any info is welcome, thanks
Iām at the stage now where I irritate my friends (and myself) with how often I get hungry.
But Iām not at the stage that make people go, āDAMN, man, are you pregnant?ā
I have to say Iāve only heard about using juice to drive an insulin spike for better transport of nutrients at integral times (this became a popular method for taking creatine) But there are better choices now than juiceā¦like high GI carbs (maltodextrin/dextrose combo drives an insulin spike from hell)
You want the insulin spike post workout only though. And this is only so the nutrients (whatever ur post workout shake entails) can be put to use when your body will be most sensitive to it. Insulin spikes too frequently throughout the day can result in poor insulin sensitivity IIRC.
You also donāt need to spike ur insulin levels for taking creatine anymore really, with the new ethyl esters available now.
Also, Iāve heard that mixing creatine in juice actually creates an unhealthy creatine biproduct and was the original reason for cycling creatine instead of taking it continuouslyā¦that is only what Iāve heard howeverā¦
Hope that was informative.
Anyone willing to try this new workout plan I found from mens fitness? I want to do it but I canāt right now cause Iām still in my fat burning phase - I will definitely do it when I reach my single fat digit goal in a few months. Sounds like this works -

Intriguing. I will DEFINITELY check this out. Thank you.
Looks very interesting, but since your cutting how much long were you bulkking before you cut, and if I can ask weight/bf%.
Iām cutting cause all I did from october 2005 to 2006 was eat. No exercise or anything - I donāt know what my bf% was when I started in october ( I weighed 223lbs then) but when I did measure myself around late november early december it was at 22 - 24% - weight somewhere from 205 - 210. Now Iām at 186.5lbs at 16.4% - once I get to 9% (around 171lbs) Iāll start the clean bulking up phase and use the full body routine for 3 months or more to see for myself although it would be nice if someone would give it a whirl before I do.

My caloric intake is around 2912 to maintain my BMR and activity level. Iām cutting my intake 25% which is 2175 at 50/30/20 carbs/proteins/fats. Thereās a formula on how to calculate your BMR and all that stuff below.
I do 4 days of 45 minute cardio on the threadclimber and 3 days of resistance training to minimize muscle loss. Since Iām not bulking up right now Iāve cut out my leg exercises because of doing so much cardio that involves my legs.
Sunday - chest/bi
Monday - Cardio
Tuesday - shoulders, tris
wed- cardio
thursday - cardio
friday - back/forearms
saturday - cardio

If you get a chance toā¦ get that book āburn the fat, feed the muscleā by tom venuto. I read that book and am so glad I did. Because of that book I can eat a lot and lose fat at the same time and I know what the heck Iām doing now. Thereās no guessing at all -

cutting out leg work? wow thats probably the last thing i would ever cut out. then again u are cutting but still, i dont think i could ever give up my squats.
during the summer i was 193 @ 17% body fat. as of right now i weigh 198 and i have no idea my what my body fat is since the gym broke the scale we used to have that read it, but i assume it has dropped a little. im also 6ā1.
man full body workouts its the way to go. ive been doing fullbody workouts for the last 2 weeks and iām making much better progress than splitting my workouts.
