Don't do the entire P90X routine if you're trying to get massive. I was a scrawny dude before I started it and got even smaller after I finished it. However I got ALOT stronger after I finished the 3 months (which is obviously more important than size). I'm still skinny but I can lift as much as most dudes in the gym (I'm still not @#$% compared to 99% of people in this thread though 

).

i think same goes for insanity......been doing it for 2 weeks now
and i feel so much physically stronger but i lost a lot of weight o_0

Thanks guys. Im actually trying to lean down a bit so this may have been an awesome decision already.

Im getting married in hawaii next year so i gotta get my lean muscle game on.

I think it has to do with the anabolic response being increased due to the concentrations of amino acids present in the bloodstream during the exercise.

Thats the theory.

It's not a great theory either, IMO. 

And drinking it =/= instantly into your blood stream, does it?
Unless you're straight freebasing BCAAs and doing lines of it between sets 

It should, if your GI Tract is functioning properly. Loads of people have a leaky gut and other issues with digestion(low HCl production, food sensitivities). Brett, you still a 'hardgainer'? Try an HCl loading test: http://www.charlespoliqui...h_Hydrochloric_Acid.aspx

Most people don't dose BCAA's high enough to receive the benefits of taking them. If you're not taking atleast 40 grams during a workout, don't waste your money. You're better off with 40-50 grams per workout for 1-2 months than with 6 months of 5-10 grams per workout.

Coach Poliquin has a few podcasts on his site that I've found to be a great introduction to his work. Lots of good info for beginners. Check them out, they're well worth the price:

Anyone lose sex drive whilst in a workout/diet routine for a month or 2? Mayn.. just been so busy working out/eating a @$+! load (bulking) and when I get home like chics on tv/etc.. just dont appeals man lol %%! is going

 

[brettthejett]

Today was deadlift day for a group of meatheads at my gym today.

I was easily the skinniest guy.. actually but quite a high margin.

Yet I had 90lbs higher on the lift and much better form than any of them

feels so good.

about 5 years ago i lost 75 lbs.. weighed 225 now im at 150 (5"7") . only dairy i get is in my protein shakes. rarely eat processed junk and red meats, no bacon.


physical strength isnt the most beastly but im def strong for my weight. ive been hittin my abs hard in the gym and working on my core area.




problem is i still have water weight left that sits in my stomach thats been here for years. !%+!@ been buggin me too, i was even contemplating seeing a surgeon. now that im past that surgery stage, i want to do whatever i can to help with this issue.

any supps that can help get rid of this annoyance.

 

[MPLS612]

^ Look into EC stack and up the cardio bro, only way to get rid of it is to lower your bf. Keep at it strong and be patience, results are guaranteed. 

 

[keepzdasneakz]

^Try not to do intense cardio while on an EC stack if you decide to do that. I tried intermittent fasting at one point and it really worked. Requires a bit of psychological perseverance but hey...you managed to lose 75 lbs so you should be fine.

   THIS

through crossfit and eating habits I went from 287 to 185 (in around 2.5 years) and have been struggling w/ this. I'm sure it's loose skin tho, and I've always contemplated surgery. I said eff it and bulked back up (just oly/power lifting) to 195-200 and now wanna slim down again cuz I'm noticably slower w/ my crossfit stuff. Anyway to get rid of the loose fat?

 

[jorrdanfan23]

today i just finished my container of JetFuse and wanted to know how long should i cycle off until i try a new product? while im off of it can i use another supplement thats does

not have caffeine in it?

 

[troymcclure]

Damn, haven't slacked in awhile...f'd up the past three days after a pretty strong year.

The last two months or so I haven't been treating it like I did earlier in the year...it's time to get re-focused!

 

[shoefreakbaby]

what do you guys think
pull ups or push ups for a female that is trying to avoid getting that "wider" chess look but still get a toned back.

also do front squats (barbell on chest)

manual hamstring curl (on ur knees, back towards partner, partner holds down back of ankles)
side lunges w/ barbell will also make you more explosive
DO NOT LEAVE OUT CORE WORK.  so many people underestimate what the core does for jumping.
do lots of core stuff and also watch ur diet.  can't be soarin if you all bloated.

and remember, plyos are key too.  such as jump rope, ladders, frog leaps, and all types of other @@%$. 

make sure you get proper rest and ice for those knees.  any questions holler at me.  went from barely dunking to windmilling  in about a year.

 

[gconquer]

It was stated earlier but I too feel like i have no sex drive. I've just been working out a lot lately(crossfit + strength training) and i have none whatsoever. i recently just had a slight injury to my lower back from a 455lb DL max and i think that may be also a factor

 

[i3]

^word up fam.. there's like no desire. Been pretty much working out non-stop 4-5 days a week for the past 2 months.

***!+ become so routine, im just too tired when i get home. i just get my meal and sleep..

Depends how long you have been using, I do 8 weeks on, then take 4 weeks off. Avoiding caffeine will lower your body's tolerance back down so that you can get the most out of your pre-workout when cycling off.
