  1. Should I be focusing on weight loss first?

    Okay. Thank you Also, any comment on people working out in early morning, before they regularly eat breakfast, in order to help burn fat instead of ingested carbs in AM.

  2. Should I be focusing on weight loss first?

    Question: If I determine that I weigh less more often at night, should I be using night measurements as my baseline? The last two mornings I weighed 175.6. This evening 173.0 Which # do I use?

  3. Should I be focusing on weight loss first?

    Hello, 5'9", 35 year old male, bodyweight 175. Smaller to medium body frame. Don't know body fat % but guessing about 25% Sorry no image. My greatest concern is the belly fat. I could easily pinch about an inch. I want to gain more muscle in chest and arms, but I suspect that maybe I...

    I have loaded before but when I restarted I tried only 5grams a day and had definitive problems. Right now, only taking whey protein. Doing fine, so will add on krill oil again. If still doing fine, i'll have to assume it was the creatine giving me the problem. I thought I would try the...

  5. Gain Weight? Lose Fat? What am I doing

    Thank you. I came to the same conclusion. I figured if bulking for the purpose of gaining muscle, I had no chance to strip away the belly fat. I downloaded the myfitnesspal program to help count calories. Neat little program that predicts calorie intake, calories burned, to help figure out...

  6. New Chapter whole food multi versus Xtend-life Total Balance premium for men

    Anyone have any comment comparing the two whole food multivitamins or if you feel there is one that is better? Thanks

  7. supplements

    I am looking for a product like Hyperbolic 10, but maybe stacking 2 together for affordability. I have had some issues with regular creatine monohydrate in the past, so I thought it would be worthwhile to try kre-alkalyn, unless any feels it has absolutely no benefit to help with digestive...

  8. Gain Weight? Lose Fat? What am I doing

    question Hypotheticially: Let's say I eat roughly the same way. Perhaps replace some carb filled treats with more protein. So, overall calorie intake stays the same. But! Right now, I do very little cardio. If I began running or doing elliptical everyday, and let's say burned an extra...

  9. Anyone familiar with Mobili-T by lifeseasons, CellFood by NuScience or Green Vibrance

    No comments. Well, not that interested in cellfood at this point. Definitely, intend to use Green Vibrance...seems to be a strongly recommended Green food. Does anyone have any comments on the Mobili-T or comparing it to other joint support supplements?

  10. Mild Energy boosters

    Hello, I should have stated my question differently. I am not against getting a little boost. Even moutain dew has about 35mg of caffeine in it. Is there any way to know which stimulants have how much caffeine/dose? Ideally, I guess I wouldn't want much more than 50mg, maybe up to...

  11. Gain Weight? Lose Fat? What am I doing

    I think I have come to the conclusion I should't be so focused on bulking and arm size, and perhaps, really trying to shed some of the extra weight and the belly fat. Trying to keep it as simple as possible...so I stick to it..... Increase protein intake & got to burn calories. Right? I...

  12. Mild Energy boosters

    Hello, If I were looking for a product like N.O. Xplode or Jack3D, but something that contains creatine, not excessive caffeine, and won't give me mud butt or bloating....any suggestions? I am not a coffee drinker so I really don't want something to strong.

  13. Alternatives to creatine

    Yes, it was creatine monohydrate. Max Muscle creatine, HPLC tested pure, for whatever that may account for... Is it possible that if I have had the same jug for several months, that oxidation or any problems with it just getting old could have been a factor?

  14. Alternatives to creatine

    darsh89. Yes, about the vegetables. Definitely intend to increase intake, as well as, got what appears to be an excellent recommendation for starting a whole green food supplement called "Green Vibrance"

  15. Alternatives to creatine

    Understood. I was drinking tons of water all day. It could still be the protein doing a number on me, but the timing for worst intestinal distress corresponds to the creatine use.

  16. Alternatives to creatine

    Much appreciated. 25% was a guess, but I can pinch about 3/4" on waist line. Yes, using optimum nutrition gold. 2 shakes a day. Try to take one between breakfast and lunch, and at least 1 after workout. Eat solid 3 meals, but probably only getting about 25-30grams protein each meal...

  17. Alternatives to creatine

    Hello, Been starting to lift weights for a few months now. Started with mostly machines, and just now starting to do more core workouts, freeweights, +/- some TRX. I weight about 175 and height 5'9", and so far, only supplementing protein up to about 140-150grams (I know I need more). BF%...

  18. I need help with a routine!

    good info Thanks I'll have to modify a bit things like the dead lifting and anything overhead due to the shoulder injury. In fact, the 5 shoulder dislocation several years ago was actually military press. I do see the point. Last night I did try the full body workout and have to admit it...

  19. I need help with a routine!

    TRX Also, In addition to above post, if trying to do full body training 3 times weekly, could I possibly be better off doing TRX training. My 24 hour fitness has the big steel arch with all the straps. Perhaps, a combination of TRX and free weights? Thanks

  20. I need help with a routine!

    Would the following be suitable exercises to pull from. I will try to focus more on core and non-machine: I used to do a chest/bi and back/tri split, but it sounds like you are suggesting do total body 3 times weekly if possible? CHEST Bench Press Machine Press Cable Press Decline dumbbell...
