Thank you for the kind words.

Modern medicine is definitely very good for some things, but horribly flawed for others. I constantly get into arguments with other students in med school - mostly because they believe in treating symptoms of disease, vs the cause of the disease.


Iceberg phenomenon. Like using anti-hypertensives/anti-microbials without knowing the underlying cause right?

Crossfit is very good for cardio conditioning and cross training. However, for strength training, or even hypertrophy, it's useless.

Correct. Or cholesterol lowering drugs without properly modifying diet/behavior.

Drive me crazy.

Why do you say NOW! Adam is the best multivitamin supplement? I bought a multi at the pharmacy and after reading your opinion on NOW!, I might actually order it. I would simply like to know the difference between those two supplements first. How many tablets should I be taking per day? (I take two at the moment)

Also, a friend of mine that I train with will start taking creatine supplement. I've searched a bit about creatine and am not sure weather or not if I want to start taking some. What kind should I take if so? Mono hydrate? I've read that it causes water retention due to dehydration, so if I drink enough water will I still retain water? Further information about it would be really appreciated!

1. NOW! Adam is a highly digestible, very high quality multi, with an exceptional and optimal blend of micro-nutrients, as well a proprietary blend of nutrients and herbs for male health (including lycopene, ginko, etc). You take 3 tablets a day with food. I highly recommend NOW! Adam compared to typical drug store vitamins.

2. For Creatine, try Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine Monohydrate and follow this guide:

Swimming is excellent overall. I personally can not speak any more highly of swimming than I already do. It's a complete workout, with excellent ability for cardio conditioning, as well as low-impact on the joints.

Crossfit is also good, but in my opinion, swimming is superior.

Saw you in the donor forum and ended up here...

So Im currently deployed and dont have access to an actual meal plan that i can follow.
I do try and consume 40 grams of protein every 2 hours, I eat three regular meals with practically no sugars (occasional cheat meal)
I work out six days a week sometimes twice a day, I currently way 170 and have definitely less then ten percent body fat. In trying to gain weight
in the form of lean muscle. I have been noticing gains but not as well as i would have hoped. Should i just Bump up my calorie consumption in order
so gain weight then cut to lean out? or should i stay on the slow grind with gradual increases?

Thanks
