Hey SKC i probably asked this sometime before but do you have any suggestions on improving my loose skin it's mostly in the stomach and inner thighs and it pisses me off because i go to a martial arts gym and when i throw leg kicks on the bag it rattles shitty feeling, i do squats,deadlifts,goodmornings and started doing some walking lunges in my last workout.

Just looking for tips on exercises to build muscle in those areas i doubt there is a product to help it?

ok here you go:


FOR BOTH OF YOU:

NOW! Adam Multivitamins (take 2x a day, once morning once at night)
Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine (take 5g / day 2.5 pre and 2.5 post workout or 2.5 morning and 2.5 post/pre workout)
NOW! Arginine + Ornithine (take 10g before bed, and take 5-10g before working out)
Optimum Nutrtion BCAA caps (take 2-3g every 45 mins before/during/after exercise and before bed)
NOW! Omega 3-6-9 (take 2-3 pills with every food meal...not shakes to promote fat loss and clean circulatory system)

FOR JUST YOU:

GAT! Jet Fuel (take 2-3 pills each morning on an empty stomach with 32 oz water - do some exercise preferably like light jogging and then eat 30 mins later)
Grapefruit Juice (drink 1-2 8pz glasses per day...once in the morning with breakfast and once with your 2nd or 3rd meal to aid in fat loss)
NOW! 100% whey isolate (take this as your protein shake)

FOR JUST YOUR BROTHER:

Cytosport Cytogainer (take 2 shakes a day in addition to his regular eating schedule...this will help him add a lot of mass - one in the morning and one pre/post workout is good)



I hope that helps!

leave the yo out...you're sounding like the firebat lol.

anyway - as long as you are bulking and not sensitive to lactose, then you are fine and enjoy the hell out of the milk.

Milk, eggs, whole grain bread, brown rice, frozen chix breasts are all some very cheap ways to get your macros for bulking.

I DO NOT REPLY TO PMS ANYMORE! I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME AND IT IS UNFAIR TO EVERYONE ON THIS THREAD TO GET PERSONAL ASSISTANCE WHEN THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS CAN HELP EVERYONE!!! SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE!


anyway to answer your question...sounds like a muscle sprain or pinched nerve. Try the following:

15 mins direct icing
15 minutes rest
15 minutes heat
15 minutes rest

do that every other hour

You can also try some light stretching and anti inflammatory like advil to aid in you feeling a bit better.

Yes that would be fine. It would be recommended to do cardio AFTER strength training for maximum fat loss.

hey there...is it JUST loose skin? or fat as well?

if its fat, you have to cut...if its loose skin....then you have two options:

1. gain a ton of muscle in those areas to fill out the skin

2. see a surgeon and have him surgically remove the excess skin.




if you choose to build muscle there...for the stomach you have to do LOTS Of weighted ab exercises including V-crunches on the machine (as heavy as you can go for 8-12 reps), hanging leg raises with a dumbbell between your feet, situps with a plate on your chest...25/35/45 lbs) - do these ab exercises for at least 15-20 sets every other day.

As far as inner thighs go...do the hip ADDUCTION machine...thats where you start sitting down with legs apart...and SQUEEZE you legs together. Do this with very heavy weight.....also try DEEP squats and lunges. do these at least 2x a week for 20 sets and until failure each time.

Hey trying to find all or most the supps on BB.com
