  1. Quitting Supplements

    I go off and now it supplements the only thing I stick with for sure is calcium and a multi. I never really noticed a feel better difference, I just have coffee as a pre workout or get used to using nothing at all. There was a time when I didn't even take protein either. Its all the same to me...

  2. Early morning workouts and supp timing!

    I found that working out fasted does not work well for me. I would show results instantly then hit a brick wall quickly. I started to eat right before I workout and afterwards and I had gains in 3 months that I never gotten before in even a 6 month period. I am 135 and 5'7" and I eat 40 grams of...

  3. Simple or Complex

    I have normally do simple, I would keep them before and after workout only. I have done it and it worked well for me if I am eating a lot of carbs. I usually ate them 30 minutes or so before a lifting session and then again directly after. However, if its i'm trying to gain and sometimes my...

  4. Best tasting protein powder?

    I've had the BSN chocolate peanut butter and its not too bad. I preferrer their vanilla ice cream better, but if you like chocolate protein it taste just like it says. I find it to be rich. The best protein I have had it Musclepharm as far as taste goes. I like their cinnamon bun and banana...

  5. Squat depth article..

    I've tried it two ways. Holding it vertically and I will hold the upper portion of it and also horizontal with a hand on each end.

  6. Squat depth article..

    I liked goblet squats, however, I rarely do them anymore because it bothers my upper body more by holding the weight when I try to go heavy. I usually have to stop because of that rather than my legs itself.

  7. Squat depth article..

    I always try to go below parallel, at least until I become too fatigued. I recently just did box squats for the first time and I felt it in my quads a lot and if I remember correctly that was more likely to bother my knees as well. I never had any issues with traditional no matter how low I went.

  8. Squat and deadlift advice please

    I have been doing a lot of pyramid training lately to switch things up. It was a new challenge for me, as I have never done pyramids before. With squats they are a killer and tough cardiovascular for me too. You can also do them with deadlifts, different days would probably be the best place to...

  9. Triceps

    Closed grip bench and body weight tri dips works well for me mass wise. I also like to do medicine ball push-ups as we'll to switch things up.

  10. HIIT suggestion?

    I like to do HIIT sessions that also build muscle. Flipping a tire, pulling a sled, box jumps. When I am sore I do burpees and jump rope switching between them every-other round. I never go over 20 minutes. The rest and work times change based on what I am doing. I can jump rope forever but I...

  11. Rep Fatigue? Advice please

    I think what you are experiencing is pretty normal because the same thing happens to me. I either have to rest pause or do lighter weight. I normally go with rest pause when trying to achieve a specific number, otherwise I end up doing the same old weight week after week while getting no where...

  12. Intraworkout that worked for you?

    I always heard that if you can't eat then BCAA's are a good way to reduce muscle breakdown. I have not tested this out myself, I am waiting on some BCAA's that I just bought but it will be my first time taking them regularly besides free samples. The BCAA's I bought contain a bunch of other...

  13. Cheaper vs expensive whey protein?

    I do agree that real foods are the best source but its not always doable. Then you know at least what you are getting because supplement labels are not accurate many times. I do protein powder once a day for convenience, but I found I did better when I ate eggs pre and post workout as compared...

  14. Ladies find your quads pack weight? Help?

    I also have 2 legs day as well. I would like some more growth in my quads, lots of leg extensions. I do many of the same moves, you must have good genetics.

  15. Ladies find your quads pack weight? Help?

    It looks great to me. I find that mine do not gain that easily, but I wish they did. What does your leg workout consist of?

  16. Low Fat or Low Carb?

    For me I feel like I lose weight on low carb, but I also lose muscle mass when I do this. As long as I'm active I keep my carb levels fairly moderate.

  17. Gender and fat loss

    I used to not eat before and after exercise but now I do both and I have seen a bigger difference in muscle gain. I feel better when I eat before and after, and this helps prevent muscle breakdown as well. Your body will use the nutrients from foods around this time. The only time I may not eat...

  18. I'm on Phosphatidic acid Ya'll

    I got mine at GNC with membership price for buy one get one and its about 107 for 2 bottles (2 months). That is for the phospha grow they also have a phospha muscle as well, but the ingredients slightly differ. I'm sure both would work just fine, but both cost about the same from what I have...

  19. I'm on Phosphatidic acid Ya'll

    Ive been taking the muscle tech phospha grow by muscle tech for about a month and half now. I made a few changes at the same time so its hard to say for sure. What I do know is that I recover very well and have seen changes in my body faster now than I ever had before. I also workout for longer...

  20. Lifting splits

    I just started this split which has worked out very well for me for building strength. This workout made me realize I don't need to spend so much time on little muscle groups and focus on larger ones more. Day 1 Legs (most quad emphasis) Day 2 Back Day 3 Shoulders (tiny bit of chest) Day 4...
