Oh so you wasnt using the zero carb stuff. You were taking the meal replacement powder. The Zero carb is cool caus it comes with protien and glutamine in it which is an amino acid i take regularly too. Optimum Nutrition, hows the taste on that? same as isopure?
Still in the gym I see. Thatās whatās up! I donāt workout as much as I used to. I know co-own a business in Altoona, PA. So a lot of my time is there, except for when I go on holiday & dealing with this CRAZY VIETNAMESE WITCH who is driving me nuts (Itās all explained with my blogging in the Early Morning Thread).
Hope things are going well for you two. I tend to stop by more & check out how your progress is.
how many hours of sleep a night do you guys get?
8-9 at least
and i donāt know about that romie, SD had me feeling pretty tired too.
People say 1g per lb of bodyweight to 1.2g and 2g per lb of bodyweight. I have a friend who does triathlons and he gets a gram per pound of lean bodywieght because he thinks 1g a lb of actual bodyweight is overkill. For building and maintaining 1g per lb is a minimum. 
Heh, itās been awhile (I was arguing a bit back about glutamine). Does anybody lift to aid their fighting skill? Powerlifting + muay thai = good stuff.
No, it tastes like crap. Thatās why I blend with OJ and a banana to help the taste. Isopure is better.
Of course. Everything is well. Stats? (Iām hoping Iām still one of the biggest on the boards). :wgrin:
I prefer bodybuilding and I never seem to have the time to train MMA regularlyā¦itās a class here and there most of the time. So Iāve never done any powerlifting regimens myself but have put them together for othersā¦(following popular programs like west side sometimes)
But yes I totally agree with youā¦powerlifting to optimize strength without going up in a weight class= top teirā¦
Not sure if your joking or not, but 500g a day??? Thats WAY too much, your body wont even process that!
I got sponsered by āBeverly Internationalā They make a great protein, top notch products that alot bodybuilders use!
i just had my 1st tablet of the new hydroxycut formulae ā¦
i feel warm , is like iām having a tiny fever .
the sweat on my body is not cold as usuall , they are hot sweat despite the air condition temperature is 17degree-celcius .
and i feel great , i feel like makoto+yun ā¦ nah !! DRAGON INSTALL !!~
iām not even feeling hungry .
after the work out on my biceps and chest , it seems that the definitions of my body muscle can be seen . and i only burn 100 cals in cardio with high resistance , incline ! .
did anyone else notice that grit on the bottom of Isopure Zero Carb protein shakes?
it concerns me that the stuff seems completely insoluble and sticks to cups, etc. like superglueā¦makes me wonder what the grit is doing to the inside of my body
side question:
does isopure really work? i havenāt taken enough of it and/or regularly enough to see any noticeable changes in size

havent seen/heard from you in agesā¦ guess weāve all been busy I understand about the buisness thing taking up your time man. Iāve got a side venture going on also in addition to an already stressful job. butā¦ gotta make t hat money.
It works. You may not be blending it enough if you have grit at the bottom.
JuiceMonkey: I meant to say 300. I was trying to do a 600g protien program once i got bigā¦ but alot of fatā¦ the unused protien just got turned to fat.
Protein doesnāt turn to fatā¦
anyone do jump training?
iām looking to improve my vertical. so far im doing squats and a few calf exercises like the extensions / lift ups with my toes. any other recommended exercises??
Thanks man.
Another question, what products are good amino acid supplements? Iām not searching for anything Iāll use everyday, but probably once every 1 or 2 weeks.
First things firstā¦get a protein shake mix that already has a good amino acid profileā¦
Secondā¦there is no supplement that will ever call for weekly or bi-weekly useā¦if you are going to use a supplement it will at LEAST call for daily useā¦whether itās a multi vitamin or creatine or protein powdersā¦get used to using these products multiple times daily.
Now about amino acidsā¦They are what they areā¦I donāt know of much of a difference from brand name to brand name so Iām not sure if that would matter at allā¦itās not like creatine where they add or take away certain other compounds to make it more āeffectiveā *(example: Cell tech including alpha lipoic acid and 80 grams of sugar in each servingā¦ )
I see what heās saying thoughā¦Iām sure the other calories involved in taking in 600 grams of protein a day is tremendousā¦considering that a balanced meal would consist of carbs,protein and some fats as wellā¦400 grams of protein a day could easily equate to at least 4000 cals a day. Nice surplus of unused cals = fat storage.
I used to see a guy do squat jumps with dumbellsā¦
I donāt know about specific exercisesā¦but with whatever you doā¦donāt go too heavy and concentrate on slow negatives and explosive concentric movements.
That sounds more like bodybuilding advice, which isnāt as applicable to sports as, say, strength-training. Why not go heavy? Thatās how to train the Type II fibre. Why go slow on the eccentrics? That decreases stored kinetic energy, and consequently, explosiveness.
Gotcha, thanks again. :tup:
