  1. Need something to make my mind shut down for sleep. Sleep supp stack failed tonight.

    Hey guys, I just wanted to check back in on this in case anyone else is suffering from insomnia. None of the supplements ended up consistently helping me sleep. The thing that did the trick was and is meditation. I do 30 minutes daily. I've been doing this since last October or so. I...

  2. Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil

    I used the spray on magnesium oil for a couple months. I did not experience any benefits for sleep or whatever else it's supposed to help with. Also read that you'd have to practically soak in a bath of magnesium oil to get the amount absorbed that the makers of the oil claim. Some...

  3. Jersey Shore, How do they do it?

    Genetics. Also keep in mind that these guys were picked to be on the show because they CAN drink a ton and eat pizza at 4am and still have abs and muscles. MTV always picks those kind of people. It's just genetics. I dated a girl who had a flawless body and she never worked out and lived on...

  4. What to eat while living out of a van on the road?

    Greetings from the road. I'm in the back of the van at the moment. First meal was 2 slices of Ezekiel bread with mounds of tuna salad, veggie chips, 2 sticks of string cheese and an apple. Delish.

  5. The Lean Gains / IF learning and Discussion Log

    Yep, my gramps was in amazing shape and I assure you he barely knows what protein, carbs, and fat are. He just worked his ass off from sunrise to sundown everyday in the army, coal mine, or steel mill, and then ate huge meals. For the first time in my life I beat him in arm wrestling this...

  6. What to eat while living out of a van on the road?

    THanks for all the input guys. This is super helpful. I'm headed off to the grocery store now!

  7. Prolactin Levels Destroying Sex Life...

    I'd look into a learning a meditation technique and developing a daily practice. Meditation is quite good for the adrenals and will help with your stress. I've been doing 45 min a day for the last 2 months and I feel much better than I did 2 months ago. I got into it because of a terrible...

  8. What to eat while living out of a van on the road?

    Hey guys, I'm looking for some creative food ideas that I can eat while my band goes on tour for 2 weeks. I may have a cooler but not much ability to cook stuff but I'm mostly looking for non-perishable foods. I don't eat meat so beef jerky is out but I'm hoping to keep my protein high. I do...

  9. Fasted training

    I haven't. I've read plenty of recommendations on taking BCAA's before a fasted workout but I just don't have the cash to try it out. I've cut myself off from buying supplements for awhile. I follow a lazy "lean gains" protocol. I eat between 12-8pm or 1-9pm, keep the protein up and don't...

  10. Fasted training

    I like to workout in a fasted state. I just feel lighter and my body isn't devoting any energy to digestion. And then it sure is fun to eat like a lion after the post-workout shower. But like anything, it has it's pros and cons. I do notice an increase in energy when I workout later in the...

  11. Nitrous oxide compound SEX TEST

    I've gone up to 10mg but that was for E.D. The reason I said low dose is because I think 2.5 or 5mg would be better for a guy who's just looking for an "enhancer." Boner pills can actually make it feel too hard and you can get sort of detached from the experience, so it's cool to experiment...

  12. Nitrous oxide compound SEX TEST

    Last month I decided to start up with l-arginine and stinging nettle to see if they'd enhance my sex powers with the girlfriend. The results were mixed. I felt that they did increase the firmness of my erections but I ditched them after one night where I ejaculated like 3 minutes into sex. I...

  13. Vegan/Vegetarian bodybuilding

    Humans have evolved to a stage where we do not need to eat meat to survive. We've created enough alternative protein sources to thrive on. I chose not to eat meat, and if you chose to eat meat that's your decision, but at least admit that you're making a choice. Citing what the caveman did...

  14. The Lean Gains / IF learning and Discussion Log

    500 cal post workout meal? Even if you wanted to keep your daily calories the same, I'd say try to make your post workout meal the biggest caloric intake of the day. I think leangains says to shoot for at least 50% of your food should be in your PWO. I may have read that on a different...

  15. The Lean Gains / IF learning and Discussion Log

    Hey guys, I've been doing what I'd call a "Lazy Lean Gains Diet," and so far I'm very happy with the results and this is the lowest anxiety inducing diet I've ever done. When I discovered leangains.com I read some of the articles one night and basically came away with these few rules for...

  16. Getting off of the evil Ambien...supplement suggestions?

    I've been taking Ambien for the last few weeks almost every night. I've also taken it every so often over the last few years. I have not experienced any side effects that are worse than sleep deprivation. Sure maybe a little groggy in the morning but I'll take it any day over a sleepless...

  17. Vitamin D3 for insomnia?

    Hey guys, I just wanted to chime back in on this. I still have not found a solution to my insomnia. However, I did notice that I've been inconsistent with the Vit D. Like I took it religiously for 2 weeks but did not get more sleep and now it's just sort of a few times a week that I take the...

  18. Vitamin D3 for insomnia?

    Hey all, I'm still stuck in insomnia hell. Basically without a xanax or ambien, my mind will not blackout into sleep. I've tried tryptophan, valerian, and up to 6mg of melatonin. I've had very inconsistent success with those and actually tried just 6mg of melatonin two nights ago and got...

  19. Need something to make my mind shut down for sleep. Sleep supp stack failed tonight.

    And I'm up. Got a couple of crappy hours of sleep from 8am-11am or so. Certainly better than zero. Thanks to you all for the replies. This is helpful. I was trying .5g Melatonin because I read many reports that if you dose too high it will keep you up and that .5g was a good starting dose...

  20. Need something to make my mind shut down for sleep. Sleep supp stack failed tonight.

    I'm in a rough spot at the moment. Been living with terrible insomnia for at least the last 6 weeks. It's affecting all areas of my life. I just left my girlfriend's place at 6:30am after not getting one minute of sleep and feeling like I was gonna jump out a window if I laid there til she...
