Hi, I have been having trouble trying to figure somthing out so I thought that I would post here to get some opinions. I need to find a different option for the protein that I take at the gym right after my workout. I have found out that I have an allergy to dairy which means protein powder...

Hi, I was hoping that someone out there could help me. My doctor wants me to cut out all dairy for a few months and of course my protien powder is made from dairy (Optimum 100% Whey Gold Standard). Are there any protien powders that have no dairy and taste good? I've already try the soy...

This may be a dumb question but I have to ask it. When you are mesuring out for example 4 oz. of pasta. Do you go by volume (fill a measuring cup to 4 oz.) or do you go by weight (put a bowl on a scale and fill it till you get to 4 oz)???? Thanks for your input!

I use Pro Lab Pro Whey Protein Powder and the medication is Doxycycline. I though buy law companies had to put on the label what actually was in there product?

No this is not one of those post about how much Protien do I need to take to get big? This is my situation. My doctor has perscribed me a medication that I have to take twice a day but I can't have it with milk or calcium one hour before and two hours after or it will greatly reduce the...

I am starting to suplement with omega-3's. My question is how much should I take? I know that the bottle says take 3 pills a day with meals. But is that enough for a bodybuilder? I am 212 lbs. I train hard 4 days a week and I am on a bulking diet at about 3700 cals a day. Any help would be...

When I am at a lower body weight I don't have any bloating at all. No I don't monitor my sodium intake. What should it be at?

Hi I have a question that maybe someone here could help me with. I have been training about 9 years and I have a good diet ( 200 lbs eating 3500 cals a day - I'm bulking right now) The only suplements I'm taking are creatine, protien powder and vitamins. My stomach is not ripped anymore (I've...

Thanks for the responses. I work on an ambulance in a small town and the hours that I go a lot of the time I am the only one there cause I work unusual hours. As for how do I squat then with no spotter. I have never had to but if it came down to it I could just drop the weight. With bench...

First of all I would like to start out by saying that if this question has already been answers before I'm sorry for reposting it. The thread that Madcow2 made is great and I have read a lot of it but it's huge it would take me all day to re read it. Well the question that I have is I train...

I have a question on this subject. I drink a lot of water but recently I have changed when I drink it. I drink 1 liter with breakfast and a liter with my workout adn then I have in between 1/2 and 1 liter with my post workout shake before cardio. The only problem is that drinking that much...

I have read the threads about the 5x5 workouts and it seems to be just what I have been looking for. I seem to have hit a plateau and I need to change things up a bit. The question that I have is that I am on a cutting phase right now. To get proper gains on this workout should I wait till I...

I have another question for everyone. I take creatine on my days off . On those days do I ues dextrose as well or is that too much sugar on a day that I don't workout on. Also how much water do I mix the creatine in. I have been mixing it in one liter. Also I have heard some people take...

I have a question about dextrose. I know how much I should be consuming. The problem that I have is how many grams of dextrose is in each teaspoon of dextrose. SO if I need 50 grams of dextrose how many tablespoons do I take. The bag that I have only has "Dextrose" on the side of it adn...
