    ATP question

    Ha no worries. It happens to us all.

    Why would anyone want to be a casual lifter?

    Some of you guys are bein too hard on OP. I totally get what he's saying. Why bother going to the gym (or doing anything in life for that matter) if you're going to half-ass it? Either commit to something 100% or don't bother doing it. Unless people are after mediocre results, then by all...

    ATP question

    ATP is just your body's universal energy currency. It's used for literally every biological process that requires energy - not just gym-related stuff. Everything you eat that isn't stored or used to repair things gets converted to ATP to give your body energy. As for the thyroid issue you...

    ATP question

    Yeah that's what I originally thought too. That's why I figured the supplemental form would be bunk - kinda like supplemental test boosters. Sure you might get a slight boost above normal, but it's nothing like the real thing.

    ATP question

    Ah ok. Never heard of it until now. Even so, I'm wondering how well supplemental ATP would hold up in the body before actually making it into the muscle cells. Here's a pretty good article I just found that mentions it as well: Invalid Link Removed "Probably the reason for a less than huge...

    ATP question

    ATP as in adenosine triphosphate, or is that an abbreviation for another supplement? If it's the ATP I'm thinking of, then creatine will do what you're looking for, since it pulls phosphate groups into the muscle in order to replenish ATP from ADP/AMP faster. As far as I know, straight ATP...

    Creatine while cutting???

    ^^ This. Also, it pulls water into muscle cells, not adipose tissue, so you're fine to use it on a cut.

    Favorite Brand/Store For Shirts to Accentuate the Gainz

    Thanks Puccah, but looking for something more along the lines to go out in. If I ever show up to the bar in a Superman t-shirt, I pray someone punches me in the face :P

    Favorite Brand/Store For Shirts to Accentuate the Gainz

    I know, random ass question, but where do you guys like to shop for shirts that have the proper fit for a lifter's body? (fitted around the arm but not super tight, loose enough around the chest/back so they aren't suffocating your lats, long enough so they don't keep rising up, etc.) Just...

    Halloween

    You don't know who Quail Man is?!? Man you're missing out. Go watch some old school Doug ASAP. Sweet idea for a costume btw. Might have to do that one. Last year I was the poverty ghost: Invalid Link Removed

    Gangsta Rap while lifting, need more; help!

    Lot of good ones already listed, but a few I didn't see mentioned: Pusha T Busta Rhymes Lloyd Banks I'm glad you mentioned Jadakiss too OP. He's one of the few who still goes just as hard today as he did back in the 90s.

    HW101 The Dream to be shredded!!

    5/3/1 is more fun anyway in my opinion. Any workout where you need to do 10 sets of the same damn exercise just gets excruciatingly boring.

    HW101 The Dream to be shredded!!

    Yeah 10 sets of 10 is brutal. I think my legs would say f*ck it after 5-6 sets as well.

    HW101 The Dream to be shredded!!

    Well I mean your actual warm up/ramp up sets for your exercises. Like you're not doing agile 8 and then jumping right into your heavy sets for squats are you? Start with the bar for 10 easy reps. Then throw 25s on each side and get 6-8. Then go to 135 for like 5.... You get the idea. Start...

    HW101 The Dream to be shredded!!

    Are you thoroughly warming up? I've been having strange hamstring issues recently too when I'm doing leg curls, but it gets better if I back off on the weight and warm up more before getting into the heavy sets again.

    Advice on Cut

    Fats do look a little low - I'd try to bump it to around 50g or so. Just throw a spoonful of almond butter in your shakes and cook your food with some fat source like olive oil, coconut oil, or butter. That should be enough to get you to a healthier fat intake.

    HW101 The Dream to be shredded!!

    Damn you got me bringing my laptop all the way to my face to see that one :P But yeah those are good. Looks like 45% is EGCG, which gives you 225mg. Just do 1 pill before you workout and that should be fine.

    HW101 The Dream to be shredded!!

    Assuming it's just EGCG (the actual potent part of green tea), yes. It's kinda confusing because you can buy either green tea pills, which is I believe the whole plant. Or you can buy straight EGCG, which are the catechins from the plant that have the benefits you're going for. Green tea will...

    HW101 The Dream to be shredded!!

    Is it straight EGCG? If so, 300mg or so. I have the NOW brand and it comes as 250mg so I just take one pill pre-workout.
