Yes, I'd take 1 dose before breakfast, follow up with morning cardio, then eat about 30 mins after that.

Trying to bulk using the 5x5. (5'11 165)
Can I do cardio and reap full benefits? Before/after?
Maybe just do cardio on the weekends?
By cardio I mean run and or bike. My girlfriend also teaches Turbo-Kick class and wants me to go lol

I hear a lot of back an forth on this so i thought Id ask

Thanks

hey raynor, was wondering on how much muscle you actually lose by walking/jogging lets say 1-3 miles a day of each walking at 2.5mph and jogging at
4mph at around a 250lb bodyweight thanks again man

Just bought Flax seed oil and Fish oil ( It was buy one get one free at CVS)

I didnt know much about flax seed oil but i figured i would buy it because i know flax seed is good

Ive been looking online for information about taking BOTH supplements together, and was wondering your opinion of each?

They are both green CVS brand
Fish oil 1200 MG 240 soft gel
Flaxseed oil 1000 MG 180 soft gel

Do the cardio before as a warmup.

If you keep doing lots of cardio like that, you will need a lot more calories to keep up the bulk.

Muscle? Not much if any.

You are working with a surplus and assuming you have glycogen stored up, you will not be burning any muscle from these low impact activities.

CVS brand unfortunately is garbage. Next time, order your supplements online at bodybuilding.com - try NOW! brand, Optimum Nutrition brand, and Twinlab brand.

with respect to the content, I'm assuming it's fine - you would need about 2 of each with every food meal for maximum benefit.

i've read that if you're doing deadlifts correctly, your shins will be bruised/blistered/etc. is that true? if so, are there shin guards or something you can recommend to avoid it? i've been careful not to let the bar touch my shins when i lift, so i'm concerned i'll injure myself if im using bad form.

on a similar note, i saw a rippetoe video where he is showing people how to do deadlifts and he was not using the alternating grip, but other people/vids do. which is correct? im looking at the hand position in this video

Yes that is correct form in the video, but the alternating grip is optional. It depends on comfort and your own grip strength. Double overhand grip is good, but sometimes difficult without lifting hooks (because of the weight wanting to slide out towards you). Alternating grip is fine as well.

As far as the shins, yes you generally let the weight rub straight across your shins. A few suggestions - wear jeans when deadlifting ( I always do) - this helps a lot. Alternatively, get some long knee wraps and use them up the shins all the way to the knees. But I would highly recommend you don't consciously try to keep the weight from touching your legs. It's natural for it to do so, and avoiding that will cause potential injuries.

So I have been on an EC stack for 2 days and since I started I haven't been able to sleep very well at nights, maybe 3-5 hours max
Could this be from the stack or could it be from other underlying factors?
