The B vitamins need to be in balance based on your needs. Usually when your increase one B vit ie B12, you have to increase all the other ones, depending on caloric intake, caloric expenditure and stress.

I seem to remember reading in a few posts about a general rule of thumb that if one wants to lean down a good starting point would be about 10-12 calories per body pound. What is the general rule of thumb for the amount of calories per body pound to maintain weight? How many cals per body...

I am pretty focused in the gym. I don't talk to anybody when I am training, maybe a brief "Wassup" or a peace sign to acknowledge people that I know in the gym. I do talk to people before and after training though. Tough thing for me is that I can't smile unless I am laughing LOL. There...

I didn't get much results of of NO2 but NXCare's Vaso XP was pretty good. It is a gel-cap and time released similar to how the cold medication Contact C is time released. I got the best results off of a stack with that, PVL tribulis, a crappy creatine mono dextrose pre-mix and glutamine. I...

What is the average dosing for tribulis (45% saponin) for a 200 lbs male with 17%BF. Does over all weight of an individual even matter with dosing? If you take too much will it be counter-productive or will it just be a waste of product? How should you split the dosage and when you you take...

I think I have a shoulder inpingement also, but it hurts less the heavier I go. The warm-up weight and my first few lighter sets of my pyramid hurt my shoulder more than when I go to heavy and lower reps say 5-6. It hurts when I sleep on it wrong though but not when I train heavy. Is this normal?

Give Anjinomoto's Amino Vital a try. I know alot of people who get good energy by taking a pre-workout Fast Charge packet on an empty stomach. Check out their website at http://www.amino-vital.com/

What are the benefits and how exactly does tribulis affect females?

Any one know anything about this supplement. I work in a supplement store and everone keeps asking me about it. I think its a bunch of crap personally. But I am always about a wait and see attitude. Until I get enough feedback on a suppplement, I won't make a judgement. However, if this...

I do weights and cardio in the same workout first thing in the morning just do to time constraints. I do the weights first to burn through throught the glycogen then I take a packet of Amino Vital Fast Charge BCAAs (check them out at www.amino-vital.com) and then do cardio for 40min at 65-75%...

What is everyone's opinions on: 1. using a protein shake w/ H20 before morning weights followed by cardio 2. using a protein shake w/H20 before morning cardio I use one because I believe it will help to maintain muscle mass or am I completely off base on this. Should I just...

Where can you find Xenadrine RFA-1? I thought they stopped manufacturing it. If you can find it may be expired and the potentcy has deteriorated.

Does this 10-12x BW for calorie intake apply to males as well or should we be going a little higher?
