-- protein shakes and other various supplements
Pages (4): « 1 2 [3] 4 »

Well anythings better than having your belly hanging over your knees. I wouldn't take the shakes if you not gonna be working out cos they will make you jittery and fat.

Could of sworn one of these have been posted before or maybe I posted in the work out thread...

Isopure Zero Carb Protein - 2 scoops (100 calories per scoop! don't forget!)
L-Glutamine - Tablespoon in shake
Glucosamine w/Chondrin & MSM - 3 caps in shake
4 frozen strawberries
half a banana
3 ice cubes
1 cup of water
blend and devour! Day in and Day out!

I cycle the glucosamine in on the start of every off week. An off week for me is no lifting all cardio for 4 days of a week. I step off the protein down to 1 scoop and remove the banana. Add in the glucosamine for that week and then the 2month lifting phase after the week off cardio. After the 2 month lifting phase, I'll drop back into a week off cardio and drop the glucosamine for that week and back into a 2 month lifting without glucosamine.

Am considering small cycles of monohydrate creatine, any suggestions orbax? Currently 170lb 5'5" from 195lb approx 6months ago. Not a drastic drop in weight but i wanted to disgard some of the fat on my body, was able to get most of it off and still looking to redefine some muscle groups and add some size.

lol fat is fat...muscle is muscle. one doesn't turn into the other. don't u work at a gym?




anyway...didn't read through more than the first few posts, so sorry if i'm repeating.


i would recommend Myoplex shakes...at least for taste. and you should drink or eat protein within 30 minutes after your workout because that's when your muscles absorb the most.

and yea...it works, if you're trying to get lean mass.

that's all i know. lol

i dont think its health putting concentrated whatever into your body. eat a balanced diet and if you want xtra protein throw in a tuna fish sangwich.

actually that was my favorite thing to eat after my workouts...just tuna in water out of the can (albacore white tuna of course) and throw some lime juice, salt, pepper and diced tomatoes...great snack! and i think one can of tuna has like 30 grams of protein or something...

i never liked the taste of protein shakes...i always had to add stuff like a scoop of ice cream or frozen fruit to it.

it's not bad for you though igk...same shit. tuna, shake...same nutrients...it's not like you're putting all these bad supplements in your body that your body doesn't already produce (or break down) by itself.

it is healthy to put concentrated supplements into your body when your body "needs" it. ie: after/during work outs. You need to drink water, you don't limit yourself to how much water you intake, you drink to stay hydrated. With that being said, same goes for protein shakes, especially right after working out. This is why people "CYCLE" supplements, to prevent their body from saturating.

And remember, for every protein scoop you are taking in 100 calories. I agree a balanced diet would COMPLIMENT any workout/nutritional regime, it's just not the only way to live healthy.

Think of it inversely, working out and eating really fatty foods, basically a futile effort. Good work out habits followed by good nutritional diet followed by supplements do turn out really good results.

albacore tuna ftw

by bad i mean that things not found in nature in high concentration can tax your body because its overwhelmed with too much of a good thing. for example recent studies have suggested juice like orange juice isnt such a good for your body. The amount of sugar and calories in a cup of oj are astounding. think about how many oranges had to get squeeze to make that drink. Would you be willing to eat 10 oranges in one sitting? If you read the directions on these shakes they warn you that if you don't drink enough water you can damage your kidneys. People also often use these shakes as a subsitute for real food.

by the way...protein shakes are great if you're on a meth or coke binge and have been up for like a day or two and can't eat. lol


it really helps in the recovery phase after you finally crash and wake up from your coma.


when i used to do blow all weekend, we'd always end up back at our apartment on saturday morning at 8 in the morning with another 2 8balls and like 5 people for afterhours and i'd make everyone drink protein shakes. haha

Aren't you people concerned about your kidneys and liver?? It's not gonna be pretty when you're pushin your senior years. I don't care what you people say, body building is for superficial people...don't even give me that crap that it's "for your health", LOL.

Regular diet and exercise is healthy enough if you ask me. Anything beyond that is just vanity.

oh sorry, ms. perfect. lol


try growing up as a male being 6'2 and weighing about 140 and trying everything in your power to NOT look like a damn skeleton. or how about having a passion (and natural talent) for wrestling where you have to make weight to be in certain competitions. it's not always ALL about vanity. let's talk about every time you go out clubbing and put on your best outfit and do your hair and makeup. same shit, so shut up.

Sounds like superficiality to me.

Ok fair enough, that's different.

I rarely wear make-up. Or fuss over my hair. And I never said I was perfect, nor was my statement a comaprison to anything I did. Sorry you took it so personally. I was referring more to the people that just jack themselves up for the sake of "looking good". I'm sorry, but I really don't think a lot of the muscle monkeys I see in clubs are doing it because they're wrestlers or ultimate fighters.

milk thistle helps aide your kidney/liver enzymes which essentially cleans your blood. =) also known to help with your complexion heheh

Glucoasmine w/Chondrin and MSM is to help reduce the swelling in your joints and strengthen your cartiledge.

Not sure what "body building" people are doing but I like to stay active and sporty and have seen my body give out when i did not train as hard. I played baseball for 13 yrs of my life, div2 in college until i tore a ligament in my elbow. If I trained then the way I train now, I'm pretty sure I'd be much healthier and have a more prominent career playing baseball. Unfortunately, the torn ligament led me back to living in NYC and becoming as corrupt as the next person on these boards. I promote healthy living by working out and balancing your diet as well as supplements.

I think this work out regime is better than getting high and eating your face off afterall thats what I did in college and ballooned to 195lbs. Now that I'm working out I feel much more healthy and have dropped about 25 off my previous weight. Vanity is the eye of the beholder, imagine yourself at 195....

lol All of this coming from someone who submitted stupid ass pictures of herself in a bra pretending to dyke out�what was the point of that other than some attention? It's not a personal thing, I just can't stand stupid hypocritical bitces on high horses.

and if i remember correctly jenny, u posted a bunch of pictures of yourself after your new hair do with different color streaks and all done up, etc...


seriously, it's the same crap. everyone has a certain degree of vanity in them, it's like human nature.


i agree...the meatheads who practically live in the gym are definitely vain, but your assumption was way too general and quite obnoxious to me.


sorry i called you a bitch, but you annoy me sometimes.

Actually the point of it was to get some free shwag. And yeah, some attention. The difference between and other people and me is that I never lied about why I did it.

how can you assume that "other people" (which includes people you don't even know) lied about anything?

D-res are you trying to gain weight?

watch the calorie count if your not.
Those protien shakes have a lot of calories-- reminds me of the southpark episode where cartman takes weightgain 2000

also creatine does fill your muscle cells with water but it gives you a "pumped up" feeling also ive noticed i can get a few more reps out of my workout so it really works

Originally posted by D-res you work tomorrow? lol. i might stop by there

i dont work today but i might stop by there to pick up some stuff for myself later on tonight. let me know if you would want to meet me there later on tonight.

No no...you're right...and again, I never said I wasn't guilty of being vain. Perhaps it's my general way of speaking, but I never meant to imply that I'm exempt from the same behaviours.

From personal experience with those kind of people. It's not an assumption at all.

I'd like to get something straight here. I'm not coming down on vanity. I'm coming down on the people that CLEARLY work out for the sake of vanity, but try to pass it off as a health choice, and deny the superficial factor. Gimme a break.

what do you mean regular diet? McDonalds and coke is regular diet?

How does a "bodybuilding" diet is different from "healthy" diet"

Do you even know what the "bodybuilding" diet might look like?
For ex: I eat 100% rolled oats, tuna, chicken, lean meats, bunch of fiberous veggies whole wheat bread, pasta etc And take 35gs of protein post workout. Besides that I take my multi vitamin, flax oil and fish oil (efa's) So tell me how it is different from any other "healthy" diet
Your statement sounds very ignorant if you ask me.

Honestly since I started lifting my self confidense improved, I look better, I have more strength, my overall health is better, since I started lifting it has helped me to quit smoking (Smoker of 7 years).

I love lifting weights, it relieves stress and relaxes. Nothing like going to the gym after 7.5 hour shift at work + 3 hours of school. I can care less what people think I dont work out to walk around shirtless and show off, its for myself. So your statement about bodybuilding superficial people is plainly retarted.

And what do you mean dont give me that crap its for your health? Is it not also for your health with 100 other benefits?

And about your last comment about excersise and healthy diet is good enough. What else are bodybuilders do? They diet healthy and they work out which is excersise. Doesnt differ from your statement.

Yes there are people who take it too far etc and steroids and shit but we arent talking about them.

I say you have no right to judge other people and make statements such as these. I mean its your opinion whatever, but if you ask me, lifting weights and eating healthy and trying to achieve something is better then smoking a fucking crack pipe and eating jelly beans all day. Enough said.

+1

i was actually just going to touch on some of your points as well.


what is so vain about taking care of your body and being healthy? some people who work out a lot are truly just healthy people and take really good care of themselves...simple as that.

let's get something straight here?

ok, why don't u start by editing your initial post.

seriously...read it a few times until it sinks in. you were clearly making a very generalized assumption that sounded ignorant. glad i wasn't the only one who saw it.

Meh. I stand by my statement. I know enough people that are guilty of exactly what I'm talking about to keep my opinion firm on this.

The most I did when lifting was just eating more protein in my diet. I would eat a can of tuna fish after working out, would help me not be as hungry either. I guess it depends on your body type too. I was losing weight and not gaining it, my friends that were trying to gain weight would drink the protein shakes and weight gainer stuff.
