I have just two questions

1. I'm ordering creatine to workout with this summer and I was wondering what is the best kind to get? I'm 5'10 and 140 pounds if that helps, so I'm a hard-gainer.

2. Is it bad to drink alcohol while using creatine?

For leg days I don't want to do deadlifts & squats on the same day, I was thinking of doing back squats/leg press/hamstring curls/front squats. Do you think this would be well-rounded enough functionally for a leg day? I don't do leg extensions because I once hurt my knee doing them.

hey if i eat at 2000k cal for cut, and am very active and say i burn a lot of calorie, does this hurt me in anyway? what if im burning a lot everyday what will happen...? anyhitng bad ?


The bottom line is that you should be burning around 500-700 calories a day MORE than you take in.

That includes the cals your body burns on its own and the calories from exercise.

If you lose more than that, you risk losing muscle mass and having a severe lack of energy and inability to recover.

Hey man!
I was wondering: it's sadly been a few months since I've been to the gym, for which I have no real excuse. When coming back, should I wait until a few workouts in to reintroduce kre alk/supplements? Just curious, thanks!




Hey there. You can begin supps right away...no need to wait.

Enjoy

1. Sci Fit Kre Alkalyn is pretty good - go with that.

2. Alcohol is generally a no-go, but it won't hurt you in moderation, just avoid abusing it.

I would advise:


legs day -

Squats, leg press, leg curls, calf raises,and lunges (front squats are optional)

Back day -

Deadlifts, lat pulldowns, bent over rows, cable rows, good mornings.

Besides a normal routine, you really need to get that arm back up to par with the other one.

Continue as you are, gradually increasing the weight, reps, and thus improving your strength. I recommend icing it 20 mins on 40 mins off every day after a workout for 2-3 times.

I also recommend drinking at least 1 gal of water per day to assist with the inflammation. You want to avoid pain, so keep the form PERFECT.

Keep working up until both the left and right arm are equal in strength, once there, I will make you a custom plan.

Rehabilitate that injury first!!


I drink at least half a gallon of water daily, on a bad day. The pain isn't in the muscle but in the bone, right by my wrist. I try my best with the form, but I worry a lot about the reverse curls working the forearm. I feel like my form isn't always perfect.

Also, how do I know if I am working it too much? I wouldn't mind going to a gym and starting benching and all of that, but should I just stick to the dumbbell exercises at my house and pt right now? What about pushups, good idea or bad idea?

Do you know, what is the point of 'having a cold' ?

Why do you get a running nose? What does it have to do with being exposed to low temperatures/lack of sleep etc.

:O ?

Half a gallon is NOT enough, even on bad days. 1 gal minimum.

Secondly, how can you be sure its the bone and not the ligaments or tendons?

Thirdly, you might need to wear wrist wraps when lifting to keep the wrist properly in-line.

If you are working it too much, you will notice constant and persistent pain as well as swelling and overall discomfort.


Pushups are fine, but keep your hands neutral (the way they naturally fall).
