[dabuddhawitjays]

I'm going to take a break from the gym. Been damaging my body too much. Lol

Not worth it if I'm going to be a crippled old man.

an why are you acting like its so expensive? not to mention it last a loooong time.

i use all american efx

i mean......it's definitely no worse than regular creatine, and i know people who swear by it.

and yeah prices are a lot cheaper than i remembered...........still not dirt cheap like mono though, which they practically give away these days

worth a shot for anyone, any sort of creatine (real creatine, not CEE trash) is worth it.

About to head to the gym now. Haven't been in four days.

Anyways, here a quick picture I took last week and forgot to post.


lookin good man, lots of quality mass and proportions look good.

maybe more lat work? make sure the legs are up to par if they aren't?

honestly nothing negative to be said, im reaching for points to improve on. are you on a bulk?

 

[al audi]

i think staxx has great forearms and your bodyfat looks good the abs should be more defined or you dont work them that much?

how many of you guys drink beer? do you just do some cardio the next day to counter-act the beers you knocked back the night before?

 

[al audi]

i hate ab exercises and leg exercises...............

but they are both needed for a complete physique.

i had an old friend one time tell me..............IDC about abs at all.........yea okaaaaaaay, a strong CORE is very important imo.

 

[dgk3188]

especially if you play sports. the core is probably the most important aspect of any type of sport

By strengthening the core, you set yourself up for improvements in every other area of fitness

Joe- I think I'm going to start bulking around December. I haven't done anything yet though.
No shakes, or supplements. I just eat whatever and workout.
I'm working on my legs right now. They've gotten kind of small.

I'm hitting those hard.

Audi- I love my abs but hate doing the exercises. That picture doesn't really do them justice though.
I don't know what was going on there. They usually look like this.

Sorry, the picture sucks. I'll try to take a better one later.

Thats a pretty achievable goal in two weeks. Just eat right, healthy foods, obviously no fried foods, fast food etc. Your cardio seems to be fine, combine itwith a little weight lifting and 5 lbs in two weeks is a piece of cake.

I love flexing and looking at myself in the mirror when I first wake up. Ultimate confidence boost. It's x2 after I get home from the gym,since I workout right when I wake up on an empty stomach. Pump + no water retention =

Chewtoy know wassup.

Man to get abs like that.. would be mish impossible to me haha. I guess I gotta be patient, HIIT + Diet.. thats pretty much all you can do right? The rest istime and dedication

If you just wanna lose 5 lbs, that's easy. You can cut water weight easy. If you want to lose fat, eat less and exercise more. Simple as itgets. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. If you really want to cut down, eliminate higher calorie foods for a while. Include more nutrient dense, lowercalorie foods like vegetables and beans as the base of your diet for a bit and see how you react. It's almost impossible to overeat when eating fruits,vegetables, and beans. Eat a few nuts/seeds for quality fats too.

Finally got my Pea and Rice protein a few days ago. Good stuff. Rice is a bit chalky though.

 

[d0njaye]

Staxx, how much do you weigh??

 

[D StaXX]

160 right now.

 

[cucumbercool]

I've started working out again but when I do crunches/situps..say 20-30 my stomach hurts by the next evening and I can't do anymore for a couple days.
-Are there any other stomach exercises I can do?
-If I were to eat better and gradually loose the weight on my stomach would that help?
-Would doing an even lower number and gradually building up be a better option?

How bad is fried rice while dieting or eating healthier??

Chicken fried rice is quite possibly my favorite meal in the world, but I'm still trying to drop another 30lbs.. Reason I ask, I just found a spot thatrivals my favorite chinese joint back at home..

Took 2+ years to find agood chinese spot down here, and I don't want to OD.

Just use your common sense, dude. Fried is bad. White rice is bad. Therefore...

That being said, I eat it when my mom makes it and if we have a family dinner out at a restaurant, but then again, I'm not trying to lose 30 lbs. If youmust, eat it post workout so the simple carbs will actually be useful. But let's be real. It's impossible not to OD on fried rice, so I'd stayaway if I were you and if I was serious about losing the weight.

 

[mcnoodlez]

i just made a pretty bomb random dessert.

greek yogurt + wheat bran + organic grape jelly.

not bad
