It’s you!

What’s been going on, you’ve been away for awhile.

OMFG, that shit is so damn expensive. I would never stick some strange compound like those in my body for no reason. Aside from being dangerous, those things cost a fortune, Jesus Christ!! I don’t know how you guys do it.

god i hate coffee @_@ !! i had 15 oz of coffee this morning . 8 oz of coffee at 7 am and another 7 oz of coffee at 10 am …

i’m having difficulty in breathing and my heart wants to explode .

Still working out here … i had to stop my never ending bulking phase to get rid of alot of fat… I gotta say leaner is better. in addition to being able to actually see better separation i get a better workout now… hard to explain.

We should grab lunch or something, I still gotta get my dvd’s back from you :sweat:

it really depends on the bodypart

Can you add flax oil to skim milk to get rid of most of the bitter taste?

I want to make my own protein shakes rather than buying some product. Anyone know a few recipes that are good?

I’m trying for high protein (at least 40 g), carbs is fine as long as they’re complex, low in sugar and in calories.

wow there is so much shit that I have to read through.

But I have one specfic question, how do I determine the amount of protein I should in take?

Depends, if you want to get big, 1.5-2g for every lb you weight.

I figured it was kinda shady, anyhow, ephedra based products as in fat burners, since its been banned, where does one come across such?

Strawberry flavor protien + banana + orange juice = goodness. That’s what I drink. I also have chocolate flavor, I usually use water, peanutbutter, and coffee with it.

There are still natural forms of ephedra sold in health food stores, I forgot what it’s called, I’ll get back to you on that.

Yes, leaner is better. Lunch is cool, your DVD’s have been sitting on my desk for a while. :wgrin:

Are you saying you don’t want to use whey/casein protien powder in your shakes, or are you asking for recipes that include the powder?

thanks Romie, the month has somewhat started an Id like to try some in my cycle.
Can someone recomend a good protein/meal replacement bar?
I dont care much for flavor, but more for body requirements an training purposes.

Something I can make all natural.

Reason is I asked my friend and he usually would pick all natural/home-made items rather than store/brand name products. I remember one of his shakes was a grilled chicken breast, yogurt, and a few other foods all blended together. He said it was the most disgusting crap he ever had, but the amount of protein was pretty high.

I deadlifted 405 yesterday weighing in at 185…I know that’s not a lot for some of you guys but I’ve never been able to deadlift for more than a month and a half at a time due to lower back strains and I’ve never really went heavy before either…I’m actually clean right now too…If my back stays strong and I’m able to start another cycle sometime in the near future I’m sure I’ll get over 500 in no time.

Yeah, I was gonna start cracking jokes that involved 2 cans of tuna, some milk, and some sugar, but I had to make sure of what you were talking about. You’re only gonna end up with a shake that’s 1: too big to finish in one sitting, or 2: too damn nasty to finish either way if you don’t use protein powder. It’s just the best way.

Yeah, I figured it might be too much to finish. Any suggestions on which protein powders to get? I was flipping through a magazine and about 20 of them looked the same. :confused:

I saw one that was 4 scoops in about 8 oz of milk for 54g of protein, but it was a weight gainer which I didn’t really want.

Most all of it’s going to be whey protein…just look over the nutritional value of the proteins and get whatever fits your needs…if you are bulking then look for a higher calorie protein shake with a bunch of carbs in them…you can also buy complex carbs to mix with your protein shake as well…

If you are cutting then look at a low carb or no carb protein isolate. It will have lots of protein and prolly 200 calories or less.

you know i 've always had the most trouble with nutrition… i think even at my largest the only thing holding me back from being truly huge is the nutrition aspect… Not that i’m huge on sugar and junk food. it’s just a matter of getting my timing right and my biggest weakness is nighttime eating …

sometimes you know you wake up and just want somethign sweet and then go back to bed … which is terrible. I’m actually trying Sugar free popcicles for my midnight eating. but that got me thinking of buying the molds to make my own popsicles from strawberry protien … or isopure alpine punch…
I’ll have to try that and let you know how it goes.

But after another month on my fat burning cycle i’d like to get a good program for a lean 500g protien a day. I’m leaning toward switching to isopure “mass” it’s 62 g of protien per serving. what are you guys using.

I’m using Optimum Nutrition now. I was using regular Isopure before.

I was always wondering why I was feeling tired all the time, and it wasn’t because of the Superdrol. The Isopure had 25g of carbs per serving and the ON only has 3g! So from the protien I was only getting 12g’s of carbs compared to before when I was using Isopure I was getting 75. Rookie mistake Romes, rookie mistake.:sad:
