almond milk... Whats your opinion on it? Is it good for you?
I used to drink a lot of soy, then steered away from that... but switching between almond milk and water, would that be good?


Almond milk is fine, no issues with it as long as you opt for a natural one without any artificial ingredients. It simply lacks protein compared to regular milk.

Do you have videos of your lifts? :D just for entertainment

I am also interested in this. As well as your religious beliefs.




1. I actually used to have several cell phone videos of lifts that I had posted on here several hundred pages ago. They were uploaded to a file sharing site, but have since expired. I no longer have the cell phone, or the videos on it unfortunately. One of my goals after I get everything situated with med school is to start producing high def videos for lifting technique, recipes, and circuits.

edit:

2. Insofar as religion goes - I do not follow any religious beliefs or practices. I do not renounce or accept any religious practice. I only encourage treating others with compassion and in a way you would want to be treated. I only discourage practices that would lead to the restriction, torment, violence, or otherwise negative actions towards others.

Looking for your opinion on this particular protein brand:  http://wolfpackfs.getprograde.com/protein-powder.html


Based on the website design, exaggerated claims, completely baseless "studies", and cheapo marketing techniques - I would say this is absolutely a scam. Most likely low grade protein powder with relatively low purity levels.

Hey, Iwe been gyming for about a month now. Im 21, about 5'6 and 63 kgs. Iwe been basing my workouts on Jim Stoppanis shortcut to size program mainly because i find it interesting. Iwe been trying to work on nutrition as best i can and i havenot started taking supps yet.

Question 1: How important are supps? Are they absolutely vital at this stage? Im regularly eating a few eggs,12-20 grams of cottage cheese, skim milk, almonds and as much natural protein as i can find.
Question 2: Im not doing cardio too much. I do have a sort of stomach but nothing to bad, I also have a severe case of love handles which i want to get rid off, so how to proceed on that?
Question 3: How long would it take to get my belly in some sort of shape? Doesnt have to be a 6 pack, but just an athletic slim look to begin with? Can you guide me to a website or plan which focuses on abs maybe? Should i be worried about my abs right now? Or is it more important for me to be working on my upper body and arms/shoulders etc.

Question 4: I know a lot of ab workouts can be done at home. So is it advisable for me to do a 30 minute abb workout everyday aside from my gym workout? Or would that have a negative impact on my muscles.

Damn, I'm glad you feel the same, I had the same inclinations as you based on the website design. Some would say that's women's intuition, I prefer to call it my spidey senses are tingling

Btw,
where do you personally get these in terms of best prices and trust (link me please)

I read that vitamin A in pill form can cause more harm than good if over supplemented. Damages included and not limited to DNA damage?
I take NOW adam multi and I see two pills is 10, 000 IU.
Where I read this recommended 3000 a day and said 10, 000 was the peak of the upper limit.

Anything to be concrrned about as far as you know?

Furthermore I read that antioxidants in pill form showed increase in cancers and such. I know there's a study to countrr everything but I very frequently see food form over pill form at all costs.

1. Supplements are very helpful. If you want to stay barebones, go with a good Multi like NOW! Adam and a protein shake like NOW! Whey Protein or Optimum Nutrition Pro Complex. Also, creatine is an absolute must. Try Optimum nutrition micronized creatine monohydrate.

2. Reduce carbs from your diet in order to reduce total calories (cut down by around 500 cals per day), and increase exercise levels by around 30 minutes more per day. Cardio would be helpful.

3. It is going to take a complete diet and exercise routine overhaul. You can not expect to get to where you want without extremely hard work and dedication. Please give me your exact diet for a 2-3 day period and I will make changes to fit your fat loss needs.
