how u gonna find thr time to follow through with the advice??

I am currently thinking of buying Universal 3LB Torrent Electric Lemonade? for Post-workout, could you give me some better alternative in the same price range? or any reason not to get Torrent?

I also would like to know if White Flood VS Jack3d VS No-Xplode, what would be most beneficial? and cost effective? for Pre-workout, or if you have any other suggestions for other brands I'm all ears

I am planning to get Platinum Hydrowhey on my next cycle for protein, should I try something else first? or you recommend?

Aside from the epic amounts of artificial sugar, color, and flavor....it's not a half bad product for the price. However, it is always cheaper to buy your own. Check out NOW! and Optimum Nutrition to get some Micronized Creatine, Leucine, BCAA's, Glutamine, etc. Get 2lb tubs of each, and make your own post-workout recovery drinks for a fraction of the price without all the artificial garbage. Just add it to 100% natural non-citrus fruit juice (grape and apple work the best) and enjoy.

secondly...I maintain the same feeling about white flood/jack3d/no explode. All of them have truly obscene amounts of artificial crap which is hell on the body over time....so I would recommend just making your own stack...its what myself and many others who research end up doing.

Don't waste your money with platinum hyrdowhey. there is no sufficient research done on the supplement yet...so we really don't know if its any better than standard whey protein isolate. I would stick to NOW! 100% whey protein isolate + Cytosport muscle milk and do 1 scoop of each for full range protein and excellent flavor without all the garbage or high price tag.

thanks for your excellent opinions again SKC

This is possibly gonna sound rediculous but do the meals
you eat before your training session provide for the growth that comes after?

Happy holidays to all

also wouldn't continued hiit for years be more hard on the heart than lower intensity cardio?

first off...growth is provided by MANY things...it's really a combination of diet, exercise, sleep, supplementation, genetics, age/hormone levels, etc.

The meals before and after your workout are very important...but not nearly as important as the WHOLE picture when it comes to growth.

You actually grown when you sleep...not when you are training or eating. This is because during sleep the body has a chance to repair the torn muscle fibers, achieve chemical balance, and release certain hormones (like growth hormone) which all aid in growth.

HIIT for years would definitely be more damaging on the heart than low intensity cardio...no questions there.

What exactly does cardiovascular excersize Do in terms of stregnthening the heart?

Hi Raynor,

i have noticed that in the morning my abdominal muscles look much better then most other times, why is this?
also after noticing that, I was wondering is there a method to which i can make my abdominal muscles always look like this,
or is that just natural? of course any additional information on this topic is appreciated, thanks.
