Dumbbells allow you to work stabilizer muscles more effectively. It also allows you to keep your wrists/arms/elbows at a neutral location which helps prevent injury.

However, I wouldn't consider ONE better than the other....as barbell allows you to focus on pure strength more.

Overall, the ideas contained therein are fairly good and I see no reason to avoid it.

Secondly, greek yogurt is excellent!

Unfortunately, nonstick Teflon pans, based on my research, are NOT safe for long term use.

I would avoid them for now and stick to ceramic or stainless steel.

Yes, it's still excellent! One of the best strength routines I have.

So I took 400mg 30 minutes ago and my resting heart rate is 55-60. That seems weird. I am a lot more alert and feel better though

That is fine then, no issues.

i just heard of trader joe's grocery. i'm gonna go buy some buffalo burgers and ground buffalo. anything else in particular worth getting there that isn't found at kroger?

Anything organic, such as fruits/veggies.

With regard to meat, try to find some grass fed beef or hormone free chicken.

Other than that, maybe some Quinoa pasta. Great stuff!

What's some good meal replacements that have high quantities of protein and carbs , a high bioavailability and that are cheap, but have a good amount of servings.
I currently use Cytosport monster mass

The best gainer....considering that CHEAP is the keyword here....is your OWN!

Buy a 10-20 lb bag of high quality whey, either unflavored or choc/vanilla

From there, add your flavorings and/or stevia.

Then add Dextrose powder or waxy maize or Maltodextrin to the blend.

After that, get some peanut butter powder (or fresh if making an actual shake) as well as fruit, milk, ice cream, etc.

Blend it all up and enjoy your gainer. It's best to make 2-3 shakes worth at a time and stick it in the fridge for easy access.
