I've done 2-a-days before. Depends on your goals, but as long as you fuel and recover properly, it's not harmful.

Does anyone swim here as a work out?
I'm not a very good swimmer, but I try anyway...What are your pre and post workout (swimming) meals? Or if anyone has any suggestions, that'd be great!

I used to have bball prac. @ 6am and 4pm. Also did it a summer when I was unemployed. 2-a-days is fun but if only your body can take it. One day you'll just crash.
I personally wouldn't do it now (well, with a 9-5 ). I have no purpose/goal for it. There's so much things you can find @ home that'll keep you occupied.

As far as two a days go, I usually do a shoo taround (not too intense). Eat a meal...digest a little and then do my workout.

Changing up your routine every week sounds like a terrible idea IMO, and that article doesn't suggest it either.
If you decide to do something different every week, how do even know you're making progress? How can you claim to be consistent? I don't think you can. Get on a program, and work with it for a few months at the least.

Muscle confusion helps build the muscle, but it depends on your goals which you prefer. I always change my routines

I think changing your routine for longtime lifters is essential. If you just started lifting then you can get away from it since you're getting your "noob" gains. Like dude said, muscle confusion helps make your muscles grow. And it also depends on your goals. If you just want to be in shape and toned, then stick to one routine.

I wouldn't worry too much about it (assuming you're lactose intolerant). The ON Whey that I use incorporate lactase into their product and I've never had any issues..
Not entirely sure about other companies but I assume they should have lactase as well..

i feel like i have been doing the same workouts for a bit and not adding things like compound to isolation workouts. i want to be about aesthetics and not about how much weight i could put up.

I have been consistently hitting the gym 3-4 days a week (with the occasional week off here and there) for just over a year now and doing so without any supplements. Want to add some protein to my intake and see what kind of increased results I can get, so I am going to be picking up and some ON gold standard 100% Whey and Casein protein.
Im usually up by 10am, hitting the gym at 6pm, and in bed by midnight.
Would you bruhs recommend whey in the morning, mid-day, and post work out... and casein before bed?
Or a mixture of whey + casein with every protein intake?

you don't "need" casein before bed. you won't go catabolic overnight. use the protein shakes to help you to meet your macros depending on what your goals are.

Shake Post workout is more important. The rest of the protein get it from food, maybe lil cottage cheese or caseine b4 bed if you didn't hit your daily protein intake.

Thanks bruhs
I gotta step my macro knowledge up
Im too detail oriented and specific that I find it a bit over whealming to account for EVERYTHING that I put into my body.

I work out twice a day about 3 to 4 times a week. I box though. I run in the morning around 6am then take a shower and hop on the train and go to the boxing gym. Usually i finish my workout by noon. If i have to cut weight I may go running in the evening too.

Does L-Glutamine really help in preventing you from entering a catabolic state during longer workouts?

I usually work out in the morning on Fridays and then play basketball later that day for 2+ hours. Nothing bad about it.
