Yes, I don't take in nearly as much veggie as I used to. I cannot replace it with the granola bar (90 cals) because this is consumed during a10 min break in class. The dried pear or apple, granola bar and banana are quick eats that are eaten on breaks. Salads are not that low in cals actually, butI don't mind it. When I get bored of the burgers, I will go back to duck salad again. Probably in a couple of weeks.

^Typically people bulk and then cut. The 2 concepts are basically conflicting

Bulking - taking in greater amounts of calories than usual to build more muscle, faster.

Cutting - almost a direct opposite, maintaining lower caloric intake so that nothing excess is stored.

I work out pretty consistently…4-6 times a week. I've only been takingthe white flood for 3 days…but so far I like it. I was drinking a rockstar every day before the gym and wanted a change…this stuff gives me a good energy thathelps me focus…plus I've noticed full pumps after only the first exercises…I'd recommend it for someone looking for something new.

I leave it up and do a set of pull ups every time I pass under it.

Dips on that bar are no bueno (no range of motion)

Do you have the xtreme version? it's better because you can do wide grip pullups

I had a solid routine going back in July, but when August rolled around, I fell off. I've been in the gym three times this week and I'm gearing up togo run some Futbol. I plan getting toned, but not super massive. I've 5'7" 160lbs trying to bump that up to about 170lbs of muscle.

Finally decided to use that trainer I've been paying $200 a month for

Christian Bale's program from going from his role in The Machinist to Batman. I can't believed he only ate a can of tuna and an apple to lose weightfor The Machinist. I'd be dead from starvation.

After all these years of being vegetarian, I forgot that people like to add meat and such to salads. If you have a salad full of leafy green vegetables and afew other items used as condiments, not as toppings, a salad can be a great low calorie meal.

Im done bulking. I've gone from a mere 135 lbs, 5'7 in january, to 162 lbs now with 23% body fat. Time to shred that excess lipid

 

[mastamind89]

I tried White Flood before, the pump was good.
Gonna order some supps soon.

[panaricanretro]

So last night I was doing some dead-lifts (Romanian I believe)

Im up to 260lbs 1rep Max

After I was done and moved on to some lad pulls etc, I began to start feeling queezy

I could not continue working cause I felt like I was going to throw up

when I got out the gym I tried taking a breather for about 5 minutes before heading home but I still had that throwing up feeling, I waited and it was inevitable.

I threw up water I drank and some of the protein shake I had take earlier (Im not sure what went out, but it was mostly water)

Anyone had this experience before? Was it the weight I lifted that affected my stomach?
You were exerting yourself to the point that your insulin levels kind of bug out, and so your body can't handle it when lactic acid keptbuilding up set after set. Usually happens if you haven't eaten enough in the day or before your workout, or if you're training in a way you'renot used to, like doing a couple of intense leg exercises, etc.... If it happens again, get some gatorade or some other simple sugar that absorbs quickly anddrink that and just sit and chill for a while. Don't take the protein until you're feeling a little better. You just needed to spike your insulin.

it is my favorite supp at the moment (besides whey and creatine of course)

intra-workout.....stamina (beta alanine) + hwp + bcaa's

works good, tastes good. only one tiny complaint is that it takes a little time to mix

 

[aceofjays]

Somebody talk to me about creatine. I know the benefits, what I wanna hear about are your personal experiences. side effects, gains, pumps and such.

 

[datztoothless]

I have so much Creatine I don't plan on ever using. I even have that kind that claims to be specially made for type 2 (fast twitch) muscle fibers that LukeLowrey and Jumpusa are pushing. I just don't have any need to be trying to get any bigger

I felt like it was making my muscles look saggy and water logged, so I stopped.

 

[ericescobar]

Saggy muscles huh? I'm still unsure if I wanna mess with it or not. Anybody else have any insight?

 

[mblackmon]

^^Hey, I could have been doing it wrong, or been using a crappy product(young and uneducated).
