Supps and vacation

**p5sky** · 07-18-2007, 06:13 PM

I have been using SizeOn and Carnage for about 2 weeks, but now leaving for vacation for 10 days. That's right, no workouts. Should I keep my supps going to build them up and stay stable, or should I leave home and save them for later? I know Carnage states to run it at least 30 days so it gets built up in your system.

I have a similar situation coming up with a 10 day vacation. Personally I am quitting the supps during that time b/c I am a cheap ass and don't want to be taking a bunch of good workout supps and not be able to workout. But I knew this vacation was coming so I won't really be in the middle of any cycles, other than tossing down some RPM preworkout. I'm not familiar enough with SizeOn or Carnage to give a good response on those in particular though, and I won't pretend that I am

since carnage is beta alanine and beta alanine turns into carnosine and carnosine needs to be built up in the body for increased gains... I'd say keep taking the carnage! a serving a day should suffice.

As for size-on, I'd say take it off.

Yea, i just got back from vacation and din't bring anything. Just make sure you don't go crazy on eating "bad" food. Out of all my friends i was the one buiying bagels, Cheerios, Natty PB, Whole Wheat bread, Tuna, etc. It was kind of funny actually they see how dedicated i am. Just grocery shop the 1st or 2nd day. Yea we ate out still but it gets $$$....

Great idea. I will definitely do just that. Don't worry about eating habits, I am going to the lake for water skiing and wakeboarding. I do not drink while on the water and only eat fruit and turkey or tuna sandwiches. Def need Xtend instead of protein drinks, more refreshing in the 110 degree heat.

I took my supps with me and worked out on my recent trip to CA. But since you are only taking those two I'd stop for the trip.

x2

also... do pushups , dips on chairs, situps..etc... its def possible to get a workout in without a gym

def gonna get some training in just like you said, especially to get a pump and look good before I head out to the water. I can use my 7 yr old nephew to add weight on pushups!

That's why I hate powders because they are hard to use when you travel which I have a tendency to do. I think I do the opposite of what everyone else here does. If I am workingout or not, or traveling, whatever I stick to what I've been using and use it all the way out.

My theory has been that once you start a supplement you might as well finish it (unless its M1T or something) and not take a break because I feel like my body is resetting all over again with whatever I have left which to me is a bigger waste of money.

Yea but if your taking preworkout formulas (ie mostly formulated for stimulation) when your not working out for a week... its not doing you too much other than wasting money

when I am on vacation, I am on vacation, I dont even worry about that stuff. Abny gains you lost, or fat you gained, can easily be taken off in a few weeks. So don't worry about them all, just enjoy yoru vacation, you only live once!

None of the people I hang out with understand my obsession. I am going to Montreal for three days for a bachelor party so whenever I am going away and don't want anyone harrassing me about all the tubs of stuff and things I ingest, I measure out the amount I will need into ziplock bags then stuff all the bags into an empty bulk container that way I can smuggle them. As for the preworkout supps, sometimes if I know I won't be working out, I take them in the morning as a nice pick me up.
