Only reason I don't do 2 hr gym sessions is because it isn't practical with a 9-5 work schedule.

Nothing wrong with ON. I use it every day, with water, and it taste fine to me (double chocolate). 

Me too, I use French Vanilla and mix it Almond Milk and it tastes well, even better if I add some fruit or peanut butter and a banana.

Nobody cares what you think buddy. I'm gonna go lift "something heavy" while you go looking for "proof" on the internet and ways to optimize your workout.

  Never said anyone cared.  Nice assumptions you made though.

ive never been to the gym and never worked out. other than running or sports. im 5'11 150. used to smoke and drink alot but ive cut all that out.

right now i can only run a mile to mile in a half in about 8 per mile. smoking killed my stamina

my goal isnt to get big or buff or none of that. just trying to get in real good shape and get stronger. anyone know any good gyms in vallejo?

any help would be appreciated and like i said ima read through the thread just wanted to introduce myself since ima be in here more often. thanks nt

common misconception is that people think when they start lifting weights then they'll automatically look BIG and BUFF.
If this is you're very first time I suggest looking up a 3-day full body workout.

If you find a routine that implements Squats Deadlifts and Bench Press then you're good money

All solid workouts usually implement those 3 exercises. Look up videos on good form. Doing exercises wrong can result in serious injury.

Focus on compound exercises. Don't be the noob focused on the size of his arms.

If you feel comfortable working out 3 days a week then feel free to add a day or 2 of cardio.

Diets usually vary but a lot of this information can be found on bodybuilding.com

Carbs should be your primary food source. Protein (meats and dairy) are just as important though.

Don't be afraid to eat a cheeseburger. It's not what you eat but HOW MUCH of it you eat. Moderation in diet is crucial. Consistency is the only way to succeed if you're trying to have a healthy lifestyle.

Don't get caught up in supplementation just yet. Spend money on solid calorie-dense foods and once you get more experience you can start adding supps.

Basic supps should just be Whey and maybe a pre-workout energy boost (Jack3d or NO-Explode). Ive been working out for 3-4 years consistently and don't feel like any other supps are necessary...but that's just me.

Hope that helps...Sorry it's kind of jumbled. Good luck to you brah

ON whey is good because its lower call, 1g of sugar. everything else in it is good as well. great profile and good taste.

 

[three6mafia]

i just switched to organic. read a article on GMO and it messed me up. never eating that BS again.
cant find the article that showed me the light, but check this one. http://www.huffingtonpost...dified-soy_b_544575.html
messed up.

friend of mine turned me on to the GMO bs. he switched to organic and in 2 months dropped 40 lbs. not even working out. and having a few beers every other day and getting tore at least once a week. crazy how bad that stuff is for you.
hes a big dude too. was a weightlifter for a few years. was in the 220s. hes down to 180s now.

that gmo crap is awful.

never had it.

theres a reason ON whey is the best selling/most popular, its high quality good stuff.

i cant say anything about other brands, ive only had ON whey and Myofusion and while Myofusion is amazing taste wise i still think ON whey is the best there is period.

 

[brettthejett]

Optimum Nutrition is the highest quality from my experience, especially in relation to digestive function.

When I'm away for work I dont have the option of choosing my own foods, I'm stuck with what the camp provides and its often low in protein. I end up having about 100g of protein from whey each day and going with anything other than ON = guaranteed bubble guts

Besides, ON vanilla + orange gatorade =cremesicle

 

[troymcclure]

I use ON's Pro Complex and it works really well for me!

It's the only protein brand i've used in the past 2-3 years and i'm loyal to them as they've always served me well.

 

[foolio]

ON pro complex is the bomb. though what sucks is that I'm a little on the fence about rocky road flavor, not that i really care about flavor considering its finished in under a minute, its just got a weird little taste. i was going to order a different flavor for my next tub, but alas bodybuilding.com #@!%@# up and sent me two shipments as opposed to one. so I'm stuck with two pro complex rocky roads

 oh well 

 

[foolio]

btw if anyones into using gainers, i used ON pro complex gainer in banana cream. tastes amazing, and it made me put on a good 5 kg in like.. a week or two. well that mixed with eating nothing but tuna sandwiches and salads, but yeah
I've also heard really good things about that russian bear gainer, but its not allowed to be shipped to europe so i can't try it out :/

Good nutrition & 8 hrs of sleep is the best recovery. Don't rely too much on supplements since most don't work.
ON is one of the better protein supplements, but it's definitely overpriced IMO. There are a lot of other brands that are just as good which have glutamine & and a similar amino acid profile. I kind of view ON as the "Nike" of protein supplements. Good marketing and great product. But the best? That's subjective.

Yo shiznut, what type of strength program are you running? I just started Wendler 5/3/1. It's not bad so far, but I'm on my first month. Not looking to compete in PL meets, but I just want to get stronger and train for hypertrophy w/ accessory lifts. 

 

[sharpiepoint]

Anyone have a good chest workout? I've been stuck on 250 max for the longest time (can only get out about 4).

 

[killthehype]

I've seriously been lagging big time on going to the gym. Hopefully my lazy !+% will get up and go later on tonight.

Is it better to go in the morning?

 

[cs02132]

Dont "hope" youll go later..go now

 

[troymcclure]

IT'S BETTER TO GO NOW

I'd stick to ON whey.  Hydrowhey is a waste of money.  All hydrowhey does is break down a little faster, which isn't all the important because the normal whey works quickly anyways.

not only that, but there was a journal article saying that taking a mix of whey+casein post-workout is better than pure whey.

i can vouch for the taste of dymatize elite gourmet (which according to dymatize is 50% whey, 50% casein).
