    best times for cardio

    I just got back from a trip to the sunny FL beaches and realized I need to lose a bit more fat. I know the best time to do cardio to lose fat is upon waking prior to eating, but I am not a morning person. I have read of people doing 20-30 mins after lifting. What are the best times to do...

    eca stack

    I am on the last two weeks on my cutting cycle and the fat loss is starting to slow down. I decided to do a little more cardio and throw in an eca stack consisting of efeDRINE, caffeine, and r-ala. I have noticed that I am burping more often after taking the stack. I am concerned, as I know...

    when do you decide to cut?

    al, people cut for both reasons...we are lifting to look stronger and covering the muscle with fat just makes you look like a fat guy.

    2nd cycle cut or gain?

    I am starting the 5s today on my first HST cycle. I have been cutting and lost about 6 lbs in the 4 weeks that I have been cutting. I started around 191lbs and am now down to 185lbs and am starting to see the second row of abs starting to peak through. I am very happy with HST as I have lost...

    ON Cycle-How Close is this to a steroid?

    no experience, but the entire market is filled with bs products, ESPECIALLY with the ban of the ph's and pro-steroidal products. the best supplement is food. get in enough good cals, lift properly, and rest...you will grow, but it takes time. if you are still interested in "help&quot...

    pre/post work out shakes

    I have been reading about bb and diets for years now...you will always find different opinions, but more importantly new studies will change what is done w/ nutrition. i think if you do a high protein meal 45-60 mins after your post wo shake you are fine using whey for post...someone please...

    pre/post work out shakes

    whoops, viscious posted while I was posting...thanks for the info guys. also I am cutting right now, should I cut out the dextrose until I bulk or do 40-60g dextrose to help creatine saturation even while cutting?

    pre/post work out shakes

    yes they are both in whey, but not in that large of amounts. I figure it can't hurt to have it there. What do you think about the dextrose, should I add more? I usually also have about 30g of carbs 1.5-2 hours pre workout with 20-30g protein. Any thoughts on changing anything with the carbs...

    pre/post work out shakes

    chest shrinking

    thanks for the info! I am excited to finish cutting and get my carbs back up! I am thinking 10% body fat is a good spot to be around...how do you measure? guess in the mirror? callipers? I am thinking I should be around 10% once I can see the bottom of the 6pack?

    chest shrinking

    once I start bulking and my carbs are back up I am assuming the glyogen content will return to normal and my muscles will seem to grow faster than usual until the glyogen returns to normal...? I just ate a 64 impala, many those cars are filling!

    chest shrinking

    I know not to expect growth while cutting, I usually see larger losses than I am right now. However I was delighted to see that my arms have actually grown a 1/4 of inch somehow! I didn't know if that was typical with HST or not, I was hoping it was and I wasn't hitting the chest enough. I...

    Whole Wheat Pasta

    I like wheat pasta, I will actually be having some tonight for dinner with a bunch of meatballs. I have a pretty fast metabolism so I can eat it even if I am cutting. When I am bulking I sometimes go back to regular pasta, but not too much as I love eating huge portions and try to limit the...
