Hi all, As you may have seen in the general forum (see Fat Inferno?) , I'm desperately trying to shed some fat so I can actually begin bulking =) I would like to know what you all think would be the best for dieting in terms of fat loss. Up until abuot five minutes ago I didn't even know what...

Lance, I didn't see what your BF% was in those images. Can you tell us what it was/is?

You guys every have luck with Ginseng? I tried some Korean Red Gensing in high school and it seemed to give me loads of energy. In retrospect I wonder if it was all psychological or if it was in fact working. I'd tend to lean more that it was working becuase there's no way I could have...

When I used to live overseas I had a gym that was like that - no music unless you brought your own. It was great, and I've actually considered wearing earplugs at the gym to obtain a similar environment =) I find my concentration is much higher in a quiet enviornment. Instead of drawing...

If you want hard... Artist: System of a down Album: Toxicity Hate their political views but love the motivating growl =) And it's almost like having your own personal drill sergeant!

Find your maxes for one week then take a 2 week SD: "Max Week" Monday - 15s Wednesday - 10s Friday - 5s 2 Weeks SD Start 15s.... I agree with ghostrider by using the rep calculater to help give you an idea where you should start looking for your maxes (tho I wouldn't rely on the...

da1andonlychacha, Yes, 120 will be laughably easy IF you don't SD. I recommend you find your maxes M-15s W-10s F-5s then do a SD for two weeks. Then when performing your workouts use 2-3 seconds on the ecentric part of the lift - as you get heavier its okay to go quicker just don't get sloppy...

Wow this is outragous how much more expensive things are outside the US - especially since I thought they were already bad here! Anyways, I ordered a couple bottles of Bryan's creatine so we'll see how it goes =). I'm at 19% BF currently so I have quite a bit of cutting to do before I can even...

Thanks for the tips Aaron. I'm hoping to cut back carbs since that has been the general agreement as far as I can see. However, I will try not be so paranoid... As my current weight is close to 163 lbs I'm trying to get close to 1600 calories/day - hopefully thats not to little or much, but as...

I'll echo jboy on the topic of cutting before bulking. I started around 19% then ballooned up 22%... Doesn't sound like a huge jump, but your mirror will tell you otherwise (currently back to 19% now). jboy, thanks for the tip on milk. I didn't know it was more of a bulking food rather then a...

Don't forget to look into HIIT training =) A little of that (5-20 minutes) after every lifting session will likely help speed the process!

I would be very interested in the out come of this debate. I have been doing HST in the same way Scott and bilknu have - keeping 2 sets per exercise from 15s-5s. I haven't actually tried to start gaining yet (trying to do some heavy cutting 1st), but I want to make sure I'm doing this...

What is your height? Thats a good idea to cut the fat first... actually I"m in the same situation as you right now. I'm at 19% body fat and trying to get to at least 15% but hopefully much lower. I'll pass the advice I received for our goal. For diet you will want to cut your calories...

That flavorless stuff sounds pretty good considering you can mix it with anything... I'll have to think about that one. Has anyone else had experience with flavorless protein? I took Ryan's advice and ordered 5lbs of strawberry banana Cytosport from site he suggested. That stuff is good!

Hello GuitarZan, What do you intend to gain from your diet and workout routine? Do you wish to gain muscle mass or lose body fat? As a bare minimum you should be eating 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight daily. Protein supplement shakes can usually aid in that goal as well as protein...

lol ok now I'm gonna go hide in the corner...that was embarrasing =P ...I think I saw the price of primer/driver and didn't look further... Well thanks guys, guess I'll be keeping that in mind.

Hi guys, Can any of you recommend a good place to buy creatine? This is another aspect of my diet I hope to repair soon... I've got an old TwinLab Creatine Fuel tub I'll probably finish then order some more. Do any of you order from online? (I'm in the US btw) I see mysupplementstore.net is...

At those rates, do Europeans even bother with purchasing protein supplements? And I thought it was expensive here in the US... Seems to me that protein from food would be much cheaper....

On my continual quest with HST I have determined my diet is responsible for my lack of gains. Therefore I am trying to repair this critical aspect. I've ordered some protien (see 'Where to buy best tasting least expensive protien'), but my fats need to be reassessed... I've read the...

Thats a great idea... I probably won't totally rely on that, but it sounds like a good protein extra. By the way, have any of you guys try the flavorless protein? The idea of adding protein to anything is intreresting.
