If you have the option I would opt for liquid protein instead of bars. Protein is best delivered in the bloodstream through liquid form.
You don't even need to go out and buy protein. Just make the Original Arnold Shake or chocolate milk after a workout. Both way better than protein powders.

630 calories. Tastes way better than whey protein. If you can, you want to get most, if not all your protein from actual foods. They are called supplements for a reason

Thanks bruh..I meant to add "Any advice?" to the end of that postI used to work out at home a few years ago but being close to a tv and couch is too distracting so I have to be in an environment where I can stay focused
-Stick to it. I think this should be Rule number 1. Lots of people quit cause they don't see results, that's the wrong mentality
-Do your exercises with the right form. You'll get better results and less chance of injury if you do things correctly
-Stay with a weight you can do. Kind of refers to the right form thing. Too much weight usually means bad form and injury
-Eat smartly. The workout doesn't end in the gym, you need to eat good foods to ensure you're maximizing your gains
I think that's all that's important for now. Just stick to the plan and you'll see results

Anyone know why I feel sore 2 days after my workout and not the immediate day after?
Did deadlifts Tuesday night, felt fine yesterday but today my lower back is all kinds of sore.

There is a chance you pulled or strained a muscle. I say this because I just did the same damn thing.

U most likely spend too much time sitting like most americans... Tight psoas equals lower back strain. work on correcting ur posture and drawing your navel in as far as possible during your reps. I used to have this problem too

google DOMS
Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), also called muscle fever, is the pain and stiffness felt in muscles several hours to days after unaccustomed or strenuous exercise. The soreness is felt most strongly 24 to 72 hours after the exercise.[sup][1][/sup] It is a symptom of muscle damage caused by eccentric exercise.[sup][2][/sup] After such exercise, the muscle adapts rapidly to prevent muscle damage, and thereby soreness, if the exercise is repeated.[sup][3][/sup]

joe, I'm not sure O-lifting is the best way to achieve that. The o-lifts are very technical and take a long time to learn. They're great moves, but unless you're an oly lifter or want to oly lift, you don't need to do them. Derivatives such as power cleans, jump shrugs, etc. provide the benefits without the steep learning curve.
Might want to check out the work of Ross Enamait. He works with combat athletes who need to maintain condtioning, agility, etc. and he's shown how to gain mass while maintaining those attributes. http://www.rosstraining.com/articles/hardcore.html
The basics still apply. Squat, deadlift, press, pull, and eat more.

Question: Ballys was offering this deal online, $9.99 for every 2 weeks. Is that a good deal?

Whats good NT. Haven't been on this for awhile. I'm deployed right now, and i finally found my grove on hitting the weights again. but i saw this thread, and peoples input and advice and what not,Looks pretty nice. im gonna stay up to date on this.
--But My advice is i've been stuck on what protein to take. I'm a huge fan of ON, i recently bought ON's platinum Hydrobuilder. Almost out, I researched it, and it says its just a 'post workout' protein shake. Because I'm starting to take it throughout the day.. but really didnt know thats ok. well please any input would be appreciated. btw if this helps, im looking to get muscle obviously but not gain any weight. I wanna Be cut/lean. im 6'4 roughly 203lbs.
--And my gym regimen is [mon]-chest-tris/light legs workout [tue]-shoulders-arms-back [wed]-cardio/abs/legs then [thurs]-same as mon. but higher weight. [fri]-same as tue, higher weight. [sat]-run/insanity we do that for 2 weeks then 1 week just insanity, and we cycle off and on that. I barely came up with this regimen hopefully it works. and from what i read from up above, start jump roping and do some burpees and hit the punching bag to start the workout and get me hyped. Take care. any help would be appreciated.

Basica Chain Amino Acids - In short, they help counteract muscle breakdown after long strenuous exercise. They also help with muscle soreness (DOMS) and are especially good for people on cuts...since they help preserve muscle-loss.
If you want the long version...google it.
