NOOB post lookin for help

[bb32]

Hi I am currently taking ON Protein and thats it. I want to start to take a form of CEE and amino acids, but I don't know what to take. I was thinking of buying the CEE and NO2 from GNC because I live in Hawaii and if i shipped it it would cost the same. I also heard that I should get L-arginine instead of NO2 because it is cheaper I was wonderin if there is a better form of CEE than the one at GNC?(sorry don't know brand)

Also when I do workout I would run a lot(3miles) and i noticed that my mass went down a lot. Is it from the running? Should i stop or just not run as much? My goals are to become strong but tryin to get abs hence my reason for running. iF I do start takin CEE and a Amino acid should i cut out the running?
Anyhelp would be great.
Thks(sorry so long)

Amino acids, read here: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=430785

Unfamiliar with CEE, can't help you there.

L-Arginine, I take 3g of powdered arginine throughtout the day (1g in morn, 1 g before w/o, 1g later in the day). Gives great pumps and other benenficial side effects. Don't buy NO2, just buy a plain form, I buy NOW Foods, I am sure there are a ton others.

Running: If you want to lose fat and preserve muscle, stop running. I know I would want to run too if I got to run in that beautiful scenery.

It would be better to move to a more low intensity variation of cardio such as a stepper or elliptical, trying to keep your heart rate around 65% of maximum for a period of time 30min or longer.

If you still need to run, I suggest HIIT. Essentially alternating springs with jogging/walking.

There is a wealth of info here, and I am sure you will hear back from people way more intelligent than me, so good luck.

Also, I bet there are other internet retailers that could ship for cheaper then GNC. Look around..

I also found that the CEE is from the makers of NO2 and is $79.99. What is the most popular CEE and where could i get it?
