    Some of the Best Things You've Heard People Say While Working Out?

    There's an amusing thread on this forum called " Invalid Link Removed Well, tonight I heard something that made me want to put up one for the best thing some of us might have heard at the gym. Tonight was chest day, and I was doing weighted dips on a combination pull-up/dip/ab exercise stand...

    back won't grow-is it my workout? please judge

    Vary your grip every time you do pull ups. I used to do all sorts of rows but never got a solid V-taper until I started making pull ups the fountain of my back days. -Blesum

    Supplement additions...

    Yes, that's what sugar does in a whey shake. However from my research, it's not very "healthy" from a long term standpoint. Sugar spikes your insulin levels which is why it drives the protein into your muscles quickly. However you build resistance to these insulin spikes with time and your...

    Supplement additions...

    I gag when I try to drink chunky oatmeal in my shake. I tried blending it but it was just too thick for comfort, and took forever to air out. -Blesum

    Supplement additions...

    You still need a carb source, I strongly suggest old fashioned oatmeal. Dirt-cheap, low glycemic, good source of fiber and long lasting energy. I keep 'em in a jug with a spoon and just eat them raw before and after a workout with sips from my shake to help with the chewing. Too dry to be...

    Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)

    I do the same thing as Jim, but with only 3 sets per body part and 6 reps since I'm an ecto. I have DOMS appear anywhere from 36-48 hours after a workout, pretty much every time. I can still move around, it's only moderately painful to flex the muscle with DOMS, usually takes another 72 or so...

    HELP! Are these first gyno symptoms?

    On the other hand, it could be an infection of some sort. I would also make an appointment to see a doctor. -Blesum

    Sleep patterns

    I just have my current girlfriend talk to me about her day. I'm usually out like a light within minutes. I'm not kidding, it's very bizzare, and sadly comical.:blink: I think it stems from years of always trying to get her to stop talking so I can go to sleep when I'm in bed. -Blesum

    Best Diet to increase Insulin Sensitivity

    Nitrox, A question if I may... For long term gains, fitness, insulin sensitivity and musclarity, should I not be taking in sugar (typically dextrose) with my during and post workout shakes? I used to, until I started to read up about insulin and thinking about my long term fitness and health...

    BCAA Timing...

    Actually, that is only partially correct. ONE serving of Gatorade does indeed have 14g of sugar, but regular sized (32 oz) gatorade bottles have 4 servings worth. That's 56g of sugar. Read those Gatorade labels carefully next time. The bigger ones that I've seen people mix their protein in...

    clomid for SD pct?

    I personally used both Clomid and Nolva as as part of my PCT after the two ProH/ProS cycles I did. The Clomid for 2 weeks at 100/50 and the Nolva for 4 weeks at 40/30/20/20. Some said it was overkill for a 4 week 1-Test and then a 3 week SD cycle, but I rate PCT as very important - More...

    BCAA Timing...

    I believe you're right, NateDogg, or at least for the short term. I've made my best gains using dextrose or Gatorade pre, during, and post workout but as I get older, I start to think about how this might affect my insulin sensitivity and ability to maintain optimum nutrient uptake into the last...

    BCAA Timing...

    I'm a bit wary of all the sugar in Gatorade. I've been trying to shift away from simple carbs to more complex carbs. -Blesum

    BCAA Timing...

    I too am cheap/poor. I love Xtend, but can't afford to drink it like the instructions say. I drink a good quality whey shake (ON Gold) 30-40 minutes before work out and about 5 minutes before and all the way until the last 5-10 minutes of my work out I drink Xtend with two heaping scoops...

    Gym question

    I thought the posts were funny, but was concerned by how clueless Head Nurse was coming off as. :blink: If he, or she knew all along, then the joke's on me. :icon_lol: -Blesum

    Gym question

    Head Nurse, I suggest doing a bit more research and learning the termology of various things involving fitness, weight lifting and gym related things before opening one up. A juice bar would be expensive and complicated to operate. You'd also notice that almost none of the body builders here...
