I'm going to order some of that Muscle Replenisher for needtobuildmuscle. I noticed that it has 3 grams of creatine in it. The creatine product that needto sells recommends 5-15 grams a day with no loading period. A couple questions. How many grams of creatine should I use? Should I just put the...

I hear you about GNC. That place is expensive compared to some of the sites you guys have talked about. However, I was thinking about throwing in a homebrew post workout shake with whey, glutamine, creatine and dextrose. What's your alls opinion on this?

Thanks for the encouragement!! I really appreciate it and it is really motivating. I had no way to really tell how good my progress was. I work out in a very, very nice gym at my church in Houston. However, there aren’t any serious lifters there. They have all the equipment but it is mostly...

Hey all! I hope this doesn't come off wrong. I am a complete beginner to weightlifting and I'm 36. Actually, 7 monts ago I was 285 lbs. I didn't lift to start out. I just ate a 1500 cal or less diet and walked alot!!! Anyway, when I decided to start lifting I just didn't head into the gym and...

I guess I'm more curious that the percentage of gain seems way out of wack to me. I could be wrong, I am new to this. I had goals of having a 300 lb squat and 225 lb bench by the end of 3 months. I'm worried about making that in the bench.

Hey again all, I've posted a few times about some other things, some stupid, but have always got some real good responses. I have a training question. I have been doing the starting strength program since Jan 11th. Here are my stats for my 3X5 working sets so far...

Thanks bro! I was thinking of adding HIIT in on my off days. I must admit that the 9 lb increase has me freaked out a bit. I have gotten so used to watching the scales go the other way that seeing them go up is worrying the shiit out of me. I am going to give my diet an overhaul and add in that...

No cycle. I am 100% sure that I am eating under the 2300 calories a day. I eat at approx. 2600 calories on my lifting days and approximately 2000 calories on my rest days. I am also doing light cardio 5x a week. Now that you mentioned water...I have started drinking alot more water than I was...

Today's workout went great. Again no trouble with any of the lifts. Actually they all got easier toward my last set of 5. I do have one concern however and would appreciate some advice. I was 227 lbs. when I started the program and in a little over 2 weeks I have put on 9 lbs. I know that this...

Today was a great workout. All the lifts went well and actually everything seemed to be easier despite the increase in weight. DOMS are pretty much non-existent now and I have just normal soreness. I have decided to add a bit of cardio to the workout. I am now doing 20 minutes post workout on...

My gym doesn't have bumper plates. Should I still do the clean and just set them down easy like I have been or switch to the row? I would like to stick to the program exactly. I was just wondering if setting the weight down easy would matter. stupid noob question...i know

Ok, I got all my working weights and got DOMS really bad in the process. Was worried about making it through this workout, but with good warm up and stretching I was able to make it through it relatively easy. Here is the log of this workout Squats 45 lbs. x 2 x 5 55lbs. x 1 x 5 85lbs. x 1 x 3...

LMAO...I fell down trying to get on the toilet!!! Thats funny as hell bro! I was worried about making through my workout out today...but I did and it wasn't too bad. I warmed up and stretched for like 45 minutes before I started though. I'm going to post my workout log in a new post below. Take...

Thanks for the help. To answer your question I go pass parallel on my squats. The reason that my workout looked this way was because I was trying to find what my working weights would be. I think I over did it though lol. I have had DOMS so bad this weekend that I can't walk normal LOL! I have...
