After reading about the effects of both, it looks like you need to take a shitload of water in order for this to work out. Anyone take these simultaneously? How does it affect fat-burning? muscle mass?

Sorry guys, but I'm quite the newb to this board and have heard so much $hit regarding creatine, i'd though I start a post to ask around. I know it supposed to give you good strength gains, but is this because it helps stimulate muscle growth? increase your energy? push water into your...

I stopped doing pec-dec flies cuz' I find that I start to lean too much with my shoulders, causing a lot of strain on my rotator cuff. Plus, I heard that they don't create as large of mass gains as bench would. Any thoughts, fellas? What do you all think of the wide grip, hammer strength...

I just started doing barbell bench press instead of dumbbells and I find that I can't do shit with my tricep workout....got me thinking that I'm cheating my chest a bit. How do I avoid doing this? What's the best grip? (I do a little bit beyond shoulder width.)

If I can interject :).... I think, compared to my workout routine before, I have greater intensity and my form is a lot better. I space out my meals to 4-5 instead of 3 a day. I'm also taking an ECA burner. Should I be supplementing glutamine?? I just decided to pick up a protein supplement...

Couple Things.... The fat is coming off fine. I can notice a difference in the mirror. I'm talking more along the lines of my strength gains. (I'd also assume that 20 mins on lifting days, and 50 mins on off would be pushing the limit of catabolism :) I heard that you should aim for around...

Hey all...I have a training plan that I have been using for a couple of weeks and it doesn't seem to be too effective. I used to work out my entire body 3x a week instead of splitting it up (which it seems, should not be done), and I got better results than this. NOTE: Currently, I use the gym...

Umm....all the yogurt I know of, besides "find-in-a-health-food-store-plain", has added simple sugars (like the blueberry, peach flavored ones). I just heard that the stomach has a hard time digesting dairy products. I'm definately not lactose intolerant; I was just curious as to whether this...

Is dairy ok, post-workout? It looks to me like yogurt would be great right after lifting. Good amount of protein and carbohydrates (which I assume are simple sugars). Just wanted to know if I'm hurting myself in some way. Thanx.

I actually read the same thing, but there is also conflicting testimony from athletes who say that they usually get off before, say, a baseball game because it releases all their tension and allows them to concentrate better. Who knows...I guess we'll keep doing what we think is best...

Cool man...boy do I know how bad drinking is for muscle growth, fat loss, etc. Unfortunately it's one of my vices I have trouble giving up. I'll give myself a few more weeks until I realize how stupid drinking is. Let's see...wasting money, getting fat vs. higher energy levels, better body...

I guess the jury is still out on this one. Most said that it really doesn't matter, but I experimented the other day with 'getting off' before I worked out and I lifted either the same as previously, or a little less. It would take a bunch of trials with a bunch of people to figure it out, but...

Is that why it's best to work opposing muscle groups during the same day? (bis/tris, etc).

Hey Valdez... Why are you so destructive with this post? If you don't have any value to add, don't add anything. I used to enjoy reading your constructive answers to people's questions...I don't know why you have to act like a child with this one. Stop being cyber-tough and go elsewhere.
