anybody have any tips about better recovery after leg days. During my soccer season I've found it hard to incorporate my leg days due to the fact that it seems like it takes the whole week for me to recover. I use the foam roller, stretch and take BCAA's and still havent noticed much of a difference in the recovery process.

Im so confused....half of you saying carbs are good the other saying avoid like the plague!
I usually stay low on carbs anyway so I guess my question is which gets the desired results faster and is easy to transition from into a balanced diet?

it's almost impossible to lose weight and build muscle at the same time unless you're on anabolics. if you want to drop 30# of fat, you can go low/no carbs or eat carbs but the main thing is to burn more calories than you consume in a day. you can look for the macro calculator on bb.com in the nutrition section. calculate your maintenance calories and then structure a diet plan that will take you 500 calories under maintenance per day. you can use protein shakes to help you meet the protein macros.

I told some cat the same thing today about losing weight and gaining muscle being practically impossible unless you're super fat or something. He kept on insisting his goal was to lose weight and gain muscle. I just recommended him a strength training routine to cut on and then bulk up with some strength on him.
I don't think he's gonna follow through.

Based on what I can gather from your weight and height id suggest these macros for 2-3 weeks and see how you feel,
Protein 200g per day, Carbs 150g, Fat 75g
I know the Protein amount seems steep but as you are lowering your carb intake it will be important to get this protein in, if you need help on types of Protein etc let me know

If I take protein shakes with water that should supplement my food intake right?Based on what I can gather from your weight and height id suggest these macros for 2-3 weeks and see how you feel,

Yeah,
Shakes are a good way to get that extra Protein in to supplement Food proteins,
Id recommend using myfitnesspal app to track your food, Will make it easier for you, They have an iphone \ android app for your phone in which you can scan in the barcodes of foods

You probably need to adjust your workout if your training the same in season as off season

Anybody have any input on nitric oxide? I've taken it a couple of times in the past and it made me kind of light headed so I didn't mess with it, but I'm considering adding it to my supplements cause I heard it helps you push harder during your workouts and promotes vascularaity. What do you guys think?

Waste of time and money,
Beta Alanine or Argnine will do a similar job, more benefits and much cheaper

team no assist 
I am 6 foot 185 and i squat 315 for two working sets usually 4 reps no knee sleeves or belt. I am not training to be a body builder though or a power lifter. Honestly i want as much functional strength as possible while still striving for aesthetics. I play soccer all year round and its basically the only reason i train. I get caught up in heavy squatting and DLing because i find it fun i like the challenge.
Off day today legs tomorrow.

Dude that bodybuilds was in the gym last night and gave me advice. Always have your back arched when performing an exercise. It helps develop form. I started doing it and immediately started feeling the exercise I did.
Maybe you guys knew that but it was new to me.

Damn 170 why not shoot for 180 since you want muscle and not fat. Just got to boost your cardio up. Also how many grams of protein are you talking in your shakes and is it one or two scoop you are using?
- 28,226

If i weigh 165, (i'm 5'11) should I go for 165g of protein daily or closer to 200? & also, how much should that protein be pure food instead of shakes? 70%?

Is it true that its better to drink a shake right after workout? Or does it not matter. Is this bro bro science.

Yes, if you stick to 1.00 grams per lb. of body weight which is generally what most people stick to, Some people do have more it's all about how your body responds in my opinion, Also if you are bulking etc you could slightly up that if you wanted to.
There isn't a set % of how much should be whole foods but the more whole protein sources you can get from food the better as foods contain more amino acids and minerals etc.
Shakes are a great addition to any diet, and you may find some days you will need more % from Whey then others depending on circumstances that day (Work, Travelling commitments etc.)

Definetly NOT bro science,
You always want to get some Whey and some fast acting Carbs in within 1 hour of finishing your workout. Personally I use 2 scoops of whey and a tin of Pineapples, But others use Gatorade, Isotonic drinks or anything for that insulin spike
