do any of you guys take any pre-workout supplements?
i'm looking to try 'white flood reborn'.. i've read positive reviews on it.. and i know controlled labs makes good stuff (i use their multivitamin.. and going try out their greens supp too)
i've tried the vega sport pre-workout energenizer (since i wanted something without a bunch of crap in it).. it was ok, but i want a little more.. also tried their 'recovery accelerator'

i usually train with higher intensity when i'm fasted early in the morning. it's probably because the stims hit hard on an empty stomach. endurance is another thing though. at the end of an hour, my gas tank is empty. i only get an hour to hit the weights here at work anyway.

If anyone is located in the Las Vegas area, I would suggest checking this gym out. http://www.realresultsfitness.com/
I just joined a few weeks ago and the gym is unlike anything I've seen before. Group classes and kind of similar to crossfit. Started out at 15% body fat (6'1, 192 lbs) and super excited about seeing how far I can push myself. Easily the most intense workouts I have ever done. Most days go something like this. Warmup (jump rope, jumping jacks, etc.), then 3 12 minute circuits of like 8 different exercises, then abs and stretching. Anyways, you guys definitely help me stay motivated and can't wait to share to hopefully share my progress w/ you all

Ahhhhh...I feel you.
But you can't/shouldn't judge yourself by the standards of others. Especially when those standards are lower that yours. Where are you located?

calculated my body fat (used an internet site) I'm at 22%.... BMI is 20 (from my doctor). I figure I'm doing pretty ok 
**edit mental? I don't know... maybe... I'll continue to do research on it though.

phase 8 is trash, point blank and so is every other company using those ingredients to boost their protein claims on the label.

i posted it earlier: taurine and glycine being counted as part of the total protein macro.
it's become one of the main selling points for the new usp labs protein:

glycine and taurine
boosts protein numbers, so the actual protein you are getting from whey is actually less.
who knows how much REAL protein you are getting and im willing to bet its not much or at least anywhere near the 20+ they say it has

I just finished taking jack3d. Its not bad. You get a great pump IMO. I am taking Assault right now. I like it a lot more than jack3d because it has creatine in it and I feel like I have more energy with this supp.

Eat more, 800 calories is a quick way to **** up your metabolism. Also many guys in here don't live by the scale, but the mirror. But more importantly don't weigh yourself every 4 days, give it at least 7 and you will see results, make sure you do it at the same time on the same day each week like after taking a ****.Stuck at 231.

Those aren't very accurate to be honest. Just like stepping on a scale that tells you body fat, it doesn't take into account for muscle.calculated my body fat (used an internet site) I'm at 22%.... BMI is 20 (from my doctor). I figure I'm doing pretty ok

Sounds nasty - srs.
800 calories a day though? That's borderline anorexia brah. Up the calorie count.
Anyone struggling with their OHP, try bring your grip in and screwing your hands into the bar right before you unrack it (not sure if this statement makes sense). I've been having trouble with my press the past few weeks, but I brought my grip back in today and was hitting sets of 5x135 no issues. Should be able to get that 5x160 PR I've been going for shortly.

I love OHP, just gotta make sure to push your head through at the top. Ive just started increasing the weight on mine after being stuck at 135 for awhile. My goal is 185 (bodyweight basically).
Just ordered my Romaleos baby, once they get here its a WRAP
