I prefer Creatine products like Green Magnitude and Neovar. Creatine will not have the same effects on her as Stoked or Reverse, it will help her with building muscle and faster recovery. Creatine shouldn't make her bloat if she is only using 5-10 g a day. Don't have her load Creatine, 5 g is really quite sufficient for her on a daily basis.

A basic stack like bulk BCAAs and a multi vitamin would be great for her at this point. Essentials is both those things in one, if she doesn't mind paying a little extra bit of money. If she is on a good lifting routine, having her consume some kind of intra workout sugar could really help with her performance and fat loss even. Some people don't prefer to have an intra workout drink, but it makes a world of difference to me. I personally use Maltodextrin and Dextrose, but there are plenty of other options.

Beyond that, it really depends on her goals. What is she shooting for at this point?

she tried glycobol and didnt like it because it made her feel "bloated" and fat. do you think neovar is too similar to glycobol that she wont like it. also it has creatine so she might feel more bloated! hmmmm..... contemplating

One shouldn't feel bloated on creatine; creatine stores water INTRAcellularly, NOT EXTRAcellulary (which is when you get that bloated look/feeling). If you are, then chances are you're NOT drinking enough (if you don't drink enough water your body HOLDS onto the water that it has), or it has something more to do with diet and timing of food around creatine dosing.

NeoVar is actually pretty good for drying you out and giving that tight look (being lean helpls as well). It's BEST used WITH HIGH carbohydrate intakes.

Glycobol would be something I would compare to LG Sciences SLIN (instead of NeoVar). And neither should cause bloating (if it does, then she may have been dosing incorrectly, not eating enough carbohydrate, or not drinking enough water).

yeah thats what i told her.... she really likes stoked when i let her try it, but shes worried about it because its an AI and she doesnt wanna lose her boobs. any thoughts on this?

As Resolve mentioned, using a natural testosterone booster is going to do NOTHING to affect a female's breasts. The only way a female can "lose her boobs" is if she has NATURAL breasts and then gets to a very lean body composition (this varies between individuals; personally I stay at a D-cup until I get <12% BF, and then I become a C-cup). Breasts will only lose size if you are losing bodyfat, because they are primarily FAT.

So many females have the wrong notions about training, supplements, and things.

There needs to be a reason why your girlfriend would use these supplements like testosterone boosters (and not just because she was told to).

Kre-Alkalyn is fine as far as creatine products go. It is however, JUST a creatine product, whereas NeoVar is a nutrient repartitioner/insulin mimic as well (good to have if she is looking at gaining muscle mass and strength and is eating for it). If she's just new to resistance training and supplements, then Kre-Alkalyn will be better for her.

The three creatine products that I would recommend are:
* NeoVar
* Cre-02
* Kre-Alkalyn
 
she wants to get definition and harden up, maybe a little fat loss but she is probably already at around 10 - 12%
 
she is new to supplements and resistance training. She sees me taking supplements and putting on 40lbs in 4 months so she wants to get those type of gains(in girl goals of course). But i tell her its really hard for girls to build muscle and shed off that last little layer of fat. but she would like to be more define because right now she is so tiny! so i guess ill try the kre-alkalyn or neovar. my gf is bad at keeping a strict diet, especially if she needs to take her supps at certain times and eat certain things at certain times. In a day she eats favorably, but timing is random. maybe i should also get her some stoked to stack with it.

If she's already a seasoned trainee and her diet is on the ball (which it would be, given her BF%), then I would go for NeoVar Recomped instead of Kre-Alkalyn. Not only will it help her in the gym and in recovery, but the pumps will also help with increasing muscle hardness and showing more definition.

Otherwise, the only way she's going to "get definition and harden up" more than she is already is to lose more bodyfat.

For a female, it's not recommended that she be at a very low BF % for too long (and anything <12% BF is considered as being at "essential fat" (this varies between 8-12% BF (ACSM, 2005) for a female, although some females can get to 7% BF) levels).

If she's new to supplements and training, then maybe the Kre-Alkalyn (although the NeoVar will d her some good). Any supplements other than the basics I wouldn't recommend getting her using.

However, she really needs to get her DIET sorted and do that correctly, since that's the KEY component to losing fat. It's easy enough to do what she wants; she just needs to have some discipline.

Get her to read post #4 at Invalid Link Removed I cover all the fat loss basics, and it has everything that she needs to know and get her started there.

And yes, it's harder for females to gain muscle and lose fat (especially if she's already so lean), because hormonal physiology and mechanism is different with females than for males. And she won't make the same type of gains/results as a seasoned female trainee either, ebcause she simply doesn't have the base. However, as a newbie she will make fast gains, but they will plateau eventually if she doesn't get her diet sorted and change her training programme up every 4-6 weeks. What she wants takes time; it won't happen overnight or without hard effort and discipline.
 
you know why my mistake she is probably closer to 12-14% bf. ill get her to read that article and ill read it as well. we gotta get her eating right. she just kinda eat on an as needed basis!

Sounds like you don't know where she's really at; unless she KNOWS what she looks like at different body compositions, then I suggest that if she's aiming for a goal, that she gets it checked properly (post #6 at Invalid Link Removed says what is properly) and doesn't just guess. And unless she's planning on a figure competition or something, I wouldn't recommend going any leaner than 12-15% BF.

Good. Read and HEED; it's what it's there for!

And yes, get her diet better, Otherwise she'll fail every time.
 
Yesterday and today are my two off days of this week. I'll be back in the gym tomorrow and Saturday. :)

I've been enjoying X-Force and X-Dream a ton lately. I've found that taking X-Force on an empty stomach in the morning helps it kick in fast and powerfully. I usually take it 30 minutes before breakfast.

I've been having a tough time falling asleep lately. Every time I take X-Dream it puts me out so quickly. It is sooo nice!

I did a lot of walking yesterday. I actually went to the mall with some friends. I cannot believe how big this town has gotten. When my family moved here 9 years ago there was no mall. Now it has expanded so much. There are several 4 story parking structures just so people can go see movies and spend money they don't have. :lol: The crazy thing is that the structures are nearly always packed!

the Promenade mall is actually pretty nice. That town was pretty country bumpkin when my mom moved there about 8-9 years ago.

where's yallz moving on the 28th? the lease is up or something like that?
 
Cool. We live off Rancho Cal, out in the Wine Country.

I start grad school in June, we are moving to Dallas for that.

Thats a big change. I bet you will miss it.
No beach for baby wifey! Resolve, you're in trouble!
 
seriously you better come up here to orange county and get your fill of the beaches before yall leave. LIST OF BEACHES TO HIT:

Newport Beach(pier and the wedge)
Laguna Beach
Hunnington Beach (a little touristy for my taste)
Dana Point
Crystal Cove (very rocky and romantic, state park)
 
I love going to the beach when it's cooler out and I can go in jeans and a T, but I don't care to go down there in the middle of summer. SoCal ain't NW Florida, the summer climate isn't as enjoyable.

Step Ups: BW
Push Ups: BW

4x15
Reverse Cable Curls: 40 lb

4x10
Lat Raises: 17.5 lb

3x20
Leg Curls: 85, 100x2

10 minutes on Treadmill: 4 mph

I did not feel very well yesterday. I was sluggish, tired and nothing seemed to really kick me out of it.

I took one cap of Slim Xtreme in the morning from a sample packet I received. I've heard so many people rave about the energy effects this product provides, but I didn't notice anything other than a slight stomach ache and an increase in sweating.

Working out went well, nevertheless. Set a PR with my 145 x10 Squats, as well as my 100 lb Leg Curl.

Later in the afternoon I took a couple caps of X-Force and a small coffee in an attempt to wake myself up. Nothing happened. I was hanging with friends all night and got home around 11pm. Fell straight into bed and had no problem falling asleep. After all those stims I was surprised!
 
Wow! That sounds like my stim tolerance. :( - Sometimes it's a huge bummer, other times it's a good thing.

More than anything else, taking a few caps of SLIN and then having a huge CHO meal wakes me up more than anything else, and not a dirty energy, but clean-burning.

Are you still using Neovar? Have you tried carb-loading with it?

The odd thing is that X-Force has been working for me all week. But then again I usually take it in the morning, not the afternoon. I think yesterday was just a major off day for me.

Still using Neovar on my workout days before my high carb meals.

Thanks. I've been learning how to push through and do well in my workouts even when I feel like crap.

yeah almost no matter how much i wanna push. if i feel shitty i just cant get the job done. my rest in between sets is longer, my intensity is low and i cant seem to have the drive to take anything to failure

It is very psychological for me. If I dwell on the fact that I am feeling sick I can't focus on my lifting. But if I dwell on my lifting, the sick feeling doesn't have as much of an impact.
 
I'm going back to low reps, heavy weight today. I feel like my body has already become accustomed to circuits, so I am switching to heavy supersets. Gonna' be tough getting back into it after all the time I've been circuit training

why supersets? if your going low reps heavy weight you might as well not superset eh? supersets is kinda good for cutting for me but i can never build significant strength superseting

How are you implementing it? I'm making great progress using supersets right now.

well i would do bench than bb rows, or curls than tricep pushdown, or incline bench then pullups, you get the idea. basically the first part of the superset would drain me to much to get the most out of the second part. i will say that it is good for getting cut but i dont think i get the most out of it in terms of bulking!

It's not that hard to get back into, chica; you'll be accustomed to it before you know it :)

Supersets are excellent for gaining mass OR leaning up (in fact, the heavier you go, and the more intense your training, the better you lean up, if that is your goal; you don't have to do high reps, since low reps as heavy as you can go will work just as well). If you do antagonist body-parts in each superset, then even if you to failure in the first exercise, you would not be drained for and unable to complete and "get the most out of" the second exercise.

Ha, Rosie said "teh."
 
well im just noting my experience.

for example i can bench 225lbs 4x easy, and i can bb row 185lbs 6x easy. when i tried to super set this, my 225 bench went for 5 or 6 reps and my bb row at 185 lbs only went for 2 or 3 reps. so my second exercise suffered. This is just ME.
 
When I superset I like to do one upper body movement and one lower body movement. I like to stick with compound lifts all the way around though.

Today's Workout:

6x4
Clean and Press: 85, 95x2, 100, 105x2

Body Weight Dips to Failure: 18, 13, 11

4x4
DB Lunges: 42.5 47.5, 50 x2 lb DBs

5x4
Pull Ups: BW-40x4, BW-30, BW Negatives

3x15
BB Curls: 30 lb
w/ BB Tricep Extensions

I forgot to bring the dipping belt, so I decided to do Dips to failure. Eh, I hoped to get to 20 on my first set, but that is something to aim for next time.
