it’s just creatine with alpha lipoic acid and a ton of sugar to trigger an insulin spike…
Xpand is one of the best creatines on the market IMO, it’s an ethyl ester for better absorption with arginine and all kinds of glutamine with a little caffeine for a preworkout boost…I haven’t stopped buying it since it first came out.

Ehh I heard HGH gives you a gut. I definitely don’t need that.
Injecting HGH doesn’t give you a gut, it cause internal organs to grow…and that is HGH gut. The article he linked you to is an artical about manipulating Growth hormone and insulin NATURALLY.

Hit 265 on the bench yesterday for a double…we were maxing out and I thought 265 would be it, but the first rep was cake…
All Muscletech products suck. For creatine, i suggest higher-power or no-xplode. For great deals, go to bodybuilding.com they have the best prices on anything, their forums are great also.
Ok so I’ve finally gotten off my ass and going to the gym…I got my routine streight but always missing out on shoulder’s…when should I work them out?
I currently do Chest/tricept, bicep/back, and legs. I don’t know where to put my shoulder exercises
I’ve been going for about 5 months btw…seen some result. My chest has gotten a bit more defined and lost a lot of gut. Do I really need suplements? call me skeptical and misinformed but I think they are unhealthy
Protein and creatine are good, and they are not unhealthy. Also a multivitamin like Centrum Performance wouldnt hurt :bgrin:
You can throw them in on any of those days…As shoulders get a lot of work on both chest and back days you wouldn’t have to do alot for them…If I was to throw them in on chest day it would be two overhead pressing exercises and some form of reverse flies for the rear delts…don’t worry about the frontal deltoid as it should be fatigued already…I would do chest first, then shoulders, then triceps…as tri’s have gotten a ton of work already, two exercises should be enough at best…
If you add it to back do it after biceps and instead of reverse flies do upright rows or front raises as this time the rear delts have already taken a beating.
If you do them on leg day, be sure to hit all three heads and just go for it…only thing I would recommend is giving ample time between chest/back and shoulder workouts…Example…chest monday, back wednesday, legs/shoulders on friday.
Supps aren’t bad for you. Hell even steroids aren’t harmful to any sensible degree when used responsibly. I’ve finished my 2nd cycle with little to no sides and great gains in size and strength.
Muscletech’s products don’t suck, they are very good…just overpriced…
Heya, great thread, needed a bump~
Also, a quick question for the informed. I’m currently planning out a diet for mass lean/weight gain, and I’m planning out meals in terms of calories/proteins requirements and such. How do I measure how much calories/carbs/proteins are in foodstuffs like chicken, and fish? This would be for chicken and fish cooked in various ways (chicken usually roasted).
i find endurance is underrated these days. i have a friend who lifts weights a lot more than i do and can lift a little more than me, but i took his ass to the 400 yard sprint drill and he failed like ray charles in an eye exam. since then ive been wondering…
i dont study bodybuilders routines but i wonder how well in shape are these big 250+ lb all muscle guys? i cant see them being athletic at all.
Sup guys I’m new to this thread and was wondering if any one can post a good weekly routine for the upper body. I was thinking of trying Pitt’s routine on the 1st page but I dont think some of those machines are available to me so can someone also give me alternative methods for those? i’ll post back on whas not available.
I personally find Purple k to be by far the best creatine I’ve ever used. NO xplode is ok, but I really didn’t find it to do very much.
some new personal bests in the gym lately though…
pressed 420…360 for sets
deads-450
squats 550
Grilled chicken and fish are pretty low in the calorie/carb department but high in protein. Grilled fish is excellent as it has omega 3 EFA’s in it…which is why some people take fish oil or flaxseed oil as a supplement. First I need to know how much you weight, height and BF%…then I can figure what ur maintenance cals would be…then we go a little over that on a daily basis and spread ur cals/carbs/protein/fats out evenly over the course of 6 daily meals…and there’s ur clean bulk…
First off…being “in shape” is relative…if by in shape you mean cardiovascular endurance then it depends on how a person trains. Ur not going to find many bodybuilders who can run marathons, because excessive cardio is counterproductive to their goals. I will say this though…it’s been proven that olympic powerlifters are faster than world class sprinters in the first 10 meters…due to their explosive or “dynamic effort” training methods.
A good routine would involve the use of free weights primarily. I can’t just make up something outta nowhere though, as one routine could be drastically different than another and both be great workouts…I need to know how many days a week you plan on/can lift and how many of those days are going to be upper body and are you going to workout ur legs or not?? (you better) Also what is ur lifting experience?? Are you trying to gain mass or gain strength or a little bit of both?? Advanced routines/programs are best explained in detail in person at the gym…I could give you something basic with a little more info…
i found a great snack to make with sandwiches and its great. Its just around a buck in most stores. Its Called Brunswick. Its Boneless Herring Fillets. Just for one buck, it has 16g or protein and 1.0g of omega3 and just 130 calories. Just replace balogne/ham with it and add a slice of melted cheeese and you got a nice 300 calorie/30g protein sandwich. Also a protein shake with it wouldnt hurt.
JESUS CHRIST…if anybody has watched Mtv real life on steroids. All I have to say is those fucking 3 douche bags need to be shot.
Fucking what ever happened to just going to the gym and maximizing your own potential, then maybe after a few years think about getting on the gear!
Fucking people these days dont want to work hard for anything, they want the quick fix, sorry for the rant but you bodybuilders here will know what i’m taliking about!!!:annoy:
I heard that if you have a slow metabolism, taking steroids would be adding on excess calories. The guy told me just eating normal stuff is fine, like meat, nuts, etc. Is that true?
Using steroids you would probably need excess calories.
But yes, stay natural. I’d advise at least 5 years (if not more) lifting experience before even thinking about using. Then another couple months researching.
If not more.
