Lifting supplements

Well aside from the fact that protein digestion uses more calories and has double the thermic effect of other macro's (pretty much DOES incinerate fat), No. but my point was that protein isolates allow you to choose which macronutrients you take in at a certain time, rather than being stuck with the extra starchy carbs and saturated fats which will obviously hinder someones fat loss goals.
 
Alright, well are you a fucking fat tub of shit who needs to lose like 60 lbs or are you just looking to lose a couple of lbs?
 
I'm not trying to lose any fat. I was just trying to make a point that protein shakes aren't the devil and that you can be still drink them and be very healthy aslong as you understand nutrition and are choosing the right whole foods in conjunction with the shakes.
 
Okay so we're on the same side.
As for your BF, you can calculate it online using like your neck size and waist size and stuff. Works fairly well, not as well as calipers mind you. But pretty well.
 
Yea, but those things are pointless. Calipers or a professional lab are the only way to go and even that's not necessary in most cases. The online things will get all fucky if you are carrying more muscle mass than is average for your age/height. It's kinda like the retarded BMI calculation to find it if you're obese. according to that calculation (Weight divided by height squared times 703) i'm overweight. yet i can see my abs.
 
i dont think this is the best source . because it is written by people who are being paid by/advertising for the supplement companies.
 
its cheap whey/casein blend with oats, ground up into a powder for me.

ill still stick with creatine, but it will be the cheaper stuff. i just have to become more disciplined at taking it on my off days. i feel its like 2 steps forward 1 step back when it comes to getting saturation.
 
grrrrrrrr I take mad roids and bench 350. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I'm jacked. Women love my gigantic muscles. I wear tight fitting shirts and let them bulge out.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

if ur looking to put on weight, uve got to look at the calories u burn everyday, compared to how many u take in. Myself am very active and need to take in 2700 calories a day just to maintain my weight. I lift 5 times a week hard in the gym. Yes i do use a supplement, size on, its a creatine form, and to be honest ive been taking creatine on and off for about 2 years now, and if u use it correctly i.e. cycle drink plenty of fluids its perfectly fine for u. I also take a weight gainer and use it as a protein as well, 1020 calories per serving with about 70g of protein. Ive taken a test booster before, and i wouldnt recommend it, its a waste. I take that after each workout and sometimes if i miss a meal. I also eat like a fuckin horse but not shtty fast food, i eat loads of grilled chicken, rice, peanut butter, beans, high protein foods as well as lots of carbs to keep my weight up. I take in generally anywhere from 3500-5000 calories a day, and i am 5'10 166lbs, benching 250 4 times on my 4th set in bench, starting at 225 after my warmup. Alot of putting on muscle and staying lean is all about having the correct diet and eating right. U can eat like shit and gain fat if u want, but its just a waste of calories. Cut out any soda in ur diet, drink lots of water. A few member on here can vouch for me, ive made more than a few workouts for members on here, and they gave me some positive feedback on how it has worked out for them. As far as my workouts go, i usually do 2 muscle groups each day, but i change my workouts every 3 weeks to keep my muscles guessing and not plateauing. For instance, i usually do chest with biceps, back with triceps, shoulders with legs as well as traps. I will do atleast 4 different workouts for each muscle group, and if i want to gain size i will usually do 4 sets of 10-8-6-4 reps. Abs are done about 4 times a week, core strength is so important for every other workout as well as lots of daily activities. There is much more to be said, but if anyone has any questions feel free to ask in here or PM me for answer ill help anyway out who is looking to better themselves. Yeah i know my grammar and spelling are shitty but idc because its the interwebzzdcnasdjkvnlolz
 
yep my rountine is kinda a combo of some of their layed out routines. very god refernce. i cant stand reading shit on bodybuilding.com. anabolicminds.com has some decent resources as well.
 
Con cret and ON Whey protein along with a balanced diet
Con cret tastes absolutely disgusting though
 
Multi vitamin (Animal Pack when I'm lifting), fish oil, flax seed oil, green tea extract, cranberry extract, magnesium if I'm sore, protein, sustained release protein, and if I'm lifting then Beta-Nox and sometimes creatine.

Its only a waste of money is you can't afford it, and idk where the argument, 'taking supplements and eating good food are mutually exclusive' came from...
