Well, like Joe Camel told you earlier, Whey and Creatine are HEAVILY researched in pretty much every which way imaginable.Originally Posted by DCAllAmerican
I have a question, I somewhat asked it earlier but I only got a response from JoeCamels and he seemed to get offended by it. (Sorry if I offended you)
I am not asking this to offend anyone, I just want a serious answer.
I understand the logic behind supplements, but do any of you stop to think about the long term effects of some of the products that you consume on a day to day basis (supplements wise). Since we are the first REAL generation that is heavily reliant on supplements, I don't think many studies are out there when it comes to the long term effects. I just think many are playing Russian Roulette because we have no idea how these products are really affecting our bodies.
I think we are too enamored with "results" and the majority of those are external results. Yes many want to get stronger, but the majority only care about how it looks (their body). I am just saying, folks be safe. Don't rely so much on these items without proper research. Don't just take products because you heard they "work."
Again, I am not trying to offend anyone. Just want thoughts/opinions.
Good idea, thanks.Originally Posted by Scott Frost
cguy610 bring a towel with you to use when doing squats.
Also, need an effective 6 day split. Any feedback would be appreciated. I know its kind of a broad question but some guidance would be extremely helpful.

sooooo, i weigh 180-185 depending on water weight and the day....and on that note im headin to go do my lunch at the gym....
Good lookin out, Durden. Haha, don't know why I never thought of that.
Yeah, do you know what im talking about even though I gave a horrible description?
Well, like Joe Camel told you earlier, Whey and Creatine are HEAVILY researched in pretty much every which way imaginable.
I don't even take Creatine yet but I wouldn't think twice.
Whichsupplements are you talking about specifically, because out of all thepeople i've met in the gym, nobody really takes anything else. I thinkI know a dude that takes nitrous, and i'm not even sure what that does
Preworkout supplements are popular.
I dont believe he was referring to creatine and whey. Yes, they are heavily researched and studied but thats only if the user takes it correctly. Most people either dont take it correctly or dont need to take it.
I think the supplements that are being questioned are the ones that arent made in the body.

wheybolic extreme 60 - best nutrient content BY FAR,. i usually also throw in a tablespoon of glutamine as well for even better recovery. i would suggest buying it off eBay fora a significant price cut.
i usually take down about 180-220grams of protein a day (10-11scoops) solely from the wheybolic mix, really helps put on a ton of lean muscle and zero fat. high-protein low-fat = results
How much do you weigh?
have any of yall taken fat burners? ive been working out and dieting, but just want faster results.
Fat burners dont work.
Man I wish my arms were flexible enough to do front squats...I honestly can't fathom how people can bend their arms back that far. That's how bad my flexibility is.
Most people cant do that form so they cross their arms in front of their body and hold the bar up that way.
fat burners do work but they dont "burn fat"
ephedra does work, and most fat burners are just metabolic motivaters, which most diets consist of(multiple meals spread out through the day) so some do work some do not.
of course they are not suggested, its not healthy.

Yea I didn't want anyone to think I was knocking their approach, I just want folks to be healthier all around. KNow what you are taking, know what it does, and you also have to know what the side effects are. EVERY foreign object you put into your body has a potential risk factor. Short term and long term. Just be aware that many products don't have any long term studies so I just think that is too risky.
Yea I also believe in the holistic approach as well. I try not to take any medicine, I always look for a natural alternative because that is what the cavemen did LOL.
Again, I didn't mean to offend anyone. Don't shoot me.......nah saying that i do try and avoid it the best i can.
The first few pounds of lean body mass will always come easiest(assuming they were his first few pounds of muscle)Originally Posted by Smedroc
15lbs of muscle in 6 weeks... wooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd?????? NBA dudes cant even pack it on that quick
thanks bro, and you are probably right in that its a little different than im thinking as its just an estimate of what is what....but a diet that really only takes in twice to three times my daily fat/sat-fat alloment over the course of a week is rarely going to add fat....Originally Posted by Durden7
Im not going to say that I dont believe you because ive seen similar results firsthand, but I will say that to claim that X amount of weight is fat or muscle is most likely incorrect.
With the loss of weight and addition of weight, it was a combination of muscle, fat, and water. Theres nothing wrong with it, but I just wouldnt go around telling people that you gained 15 lbs of muscle in 6 weeks when most struggle to add 10 lbs of muscle in a year. Thats all.
Congratulations on losing that weight though.
its all good baby - i wouldnt believe it if i wasnt doing it myself, and i am off by a little less than 3 weeks if that helps - i forgot we are at the 26th of Jan already....time flying in 2010!Originally Posted by Baybully650

once i got down to 170ish i have put on 15lbs of muscle in the last 1.5 months.Not to call you a liar, but those numbers sound a little off.
You averaged a loss of 4.06lbs a week?
Averaged a gain of 2.5lbs of lean muscle a week?
Like I said.... If this is true..sorry for doubting you.
