Extremely difficult.

manage your time properly, and understand that you have to put the lifting on the backburner.

yes and no.

too much of anything can cause harm to your body in various ways.

I would stay away from too many stimulants on a regular basis because you do build up an immunity, as well as a dependence to such things.

With regard to stimulants and the adrenal glands, there is no question that excessive use of stimulants will cause damage and slowing of the function of the adrenals.

That is why I always recommend cycling products and staying away from aggressive stimulants pre-workout.

Can you tell me a bit about stevia? Good/bad? Any negative effects? Certain amount acceptable per day?
Thanks dood!

I just started intermittent fasting.

I'm sure you got a lot of questions bout this but what are your thoughts on it?

Been benching for almost a month now but when i bench my wrist tends to bend causing it to hurt after i finish
do you have any tips on how to get it to not bend? thanks

I just found some "Vanilla meal replacement shakes" box in my closet...been there a while I guess I didn't even know I had those lol...(box of 12 in cans to drink)

Im just wondering if drinking those are any good if you're trying to drop a few pounds or im better eating real meals every day instead of drinking those. (im not looking to drink those everyday or replace all my meals with shakes lol, rather eat real food...but mixing some occasionally)
Im not the biggest fan of shakes especially vanilla ones but im sure drinking a few every x days cannot hurt and maybe be helpful?

Let me know what you think
And if it's any good, how many per week is it preferable to drink?

I am guessing those shakes were only made to drink if you are too busy to make a meal or at work or drink that instead of skipping a meal (since everything is better than not eating)
I know there are proteins shakes etc...but I eat alot of proteins already so I doubt proteins shakes are for me.

thanks =D

e/ if u want the info about the calories and fat numbers etc...I can check for ya^^ I suck with those

This is an excellent question which I'm glad you asked.

I was actually researching this today and found a LOT of conflicting research. However, the basis of scientific studies with credible labs from credible sources shows that Stevia by itself is absolutely safe in moderate amounts. In some cases, Stevia can also be used therapeutically to treat high blood pressure, reduce the risk of stroke or heart attack, and also increase appetite in patients with cancer. In some studies, there was a reduced development of certain types of cancers.

With regard to the negative side effects, this is HIGHLY debated. There has not been a credible research study that shows any correlation between mild/moderate stevia use and consistent negative side effects. However, some people (outside of studies) have reported a plethora of conditions. The problem is, we have no idea if it comes from Stevia, or from underlying medical conditions and/or other supplements or nutritional factors and combinations thereof.

Furthermore, some types of stevia, such as Truvia or Purevia are actually derived from Stevia plant, fermented to extract the erythritol (sugar alcohol) and can thus have a slight laxative effect - and also thus contains yeast which can effect certain yeast-sensitive people with bad breath, yeast infections, or respiratory issues. In general, 2-4 packets of stevia a day would have absolutely no negative effects.

If you are going to use Stevia for a long time, I would opt for Stevia in the Raw, which is pure stevia and nothing more.
