Hey i just started working out and i was wondering what i should be drinking protein or creatine do you have any suggestions ? i just want to build muscle


both.

depending on your goals and your bodytype....there are several options:

1. Cytosport Cytogainer (protein gainer shake that also contains creatine) - take this if you are a hardgainer looking to gain quality weight and mass

2. Optimum Pro Complex or NOW! 100% Whey Isolate or Gaspari Myofusion (take any of these if you are looking for just straight protein shake for post workout and morning)

3. Optimum Casein Protein (take this right before bed for optimal gains and fat loss during sleep)

4. Optimum Micronized Creatine Monohydrate (take 5g of this every day with grape juice if using any protein mix other than cytogainer)

hey man, quick question

im cutting im just wounderin how much carbs i should be eating and when.

im thinking just have a piece of whole wheat toast or oatmeal with my eggs and maybe carbs after workout and thats it.


exactly.

1 cup oatmeal with breakfast and 20-30g simple carbs post workout for general cutting.

pre-competition (going from 8% to 4%) = 0 carbs per day total.

Hello raynor

Im a fuggin fatty.
I want to lose weight and tone, but dont really know where to start.

My current routine looks like. 60 mins of brisk walking in morning. IN the after noon I do 3x5 bench / 3x5 squats/ 3x5 barbell row sun/tues/thurs, alternating with incline bench 3x5 and dips 3x10. Followed by a 30 minute elliptical session after workout.

I've been at it for about 3 weeks but havent really lost any weight, and its not like im gorging on steaks and triple cheese burgers or something. I eat 3-5 moderate meals a day with low carbs and almost no sugar.

Is there anything I can improve on to really lose more weight and tone my body? I think to cut is the term?

Thanks in advance for help

for bulking without protein supps...i need your height/weight and body type as well as goals to give you a diet.

but as a general rule, you can pretty much just eat a ton of chicken breast, brown rice, broccoli and black beans throughout the day....you can also have eggs + oatmeal in the morning and cottage cheese + peanut butter before bed....but this is very broad and generalized...I can give you something more exact if u require it


145, 5'10'', Forget the name of body type but hard to gain weight/slender.

To build muscle/mass in general.


My job makes it hard to gain weight.

It took one year to gain 25 pounds. :[

Hey there.

Make sure you add about 1 tbsp of sea salt per 1 gal of water if you feel that your sodium is too low.

Make sure to have also 2x potassium and 1x magnesium and 1x calcium to every 1x of sodium in your diet. Make  sure not to go over 1500-2000 mg sodium per day on average cutting (pre-contest cutting would be 500mg / day)


also your first week or two of losses are mostly water stored up in the muscle groups from extensive prior sodium and carbohydrate consumption


Thanks a ton buddy, I always thought I should go with bigger reps rather than bigger weight for muscle growth, but i shall try it.
