I take 5g daily regardless of training or non training day. If I miss a day I don't fret about it or anything though.

How would the body respond to different diets containing the same amount of calories but using different ratios of carbs, fat, and protein. Say two diets both equal 2500 calories but one has 50g fat, 180g protein, and 332.5g carbs VS. a diet using 100g fat, 180g protein, and 220g carbs. Or...

You got it man, hopefully I can read the book quickly enough to get started considering that all my finals are all next week so we'll see.

Yeah I already started lowering calorie intake to prepare for the upcoming calorie deficit. This should be interesting! I should try taking some before and after pics to see the overall improvement.

Thanks again guys, but do you think I should decondition before I start?

I should be starting this program within a week or so? My question is: If I am mid-cycle(starting first week of 5's tomorrow) on an HST program, should I just stop right now and take a week of deconditioning before I start the UD2 program or just start as soon as I can? Also, do you think...

Awesome, thanks!

What was your diet like?; and how much muscle loss are we talking about?

hmmm.. I've never noticed that, but I'll check that out, thanks!

My last cutting cycle was 2 months long and I was pleased with the amount of fat I lost but unhappy with loosing as much muscle as I did. I know muscle loss is common with dieting, but minimizing it would great. It seems that when I do a cutting cycle I loose almost what I gained in one...

I have a suscription to Muscle and Fitness, and as I was fliping through different articles I came across one that said there was a study on men who get 2,000 mg or more of calcium a day have a 60% higher risk of getting prostate cancer . On the table that is under the article it shows how...

Thanks everyone, I'll tell him to give those ideas a try and have him see a doctor!

My father has been having pretty heavy aches and pains in his knees for a while now. He said the joints in his knees hurt so bad last night that it interupted his sleep and had to take some aspirin to heal the pain. I'm assuming that his work contributes a lot to this, as he stands on his feet...

Yep, my fault, didn't read the post right the first time. You seem to be making an incredible effort so far with the training, etc and all this should pay off with time. Good luck man!

*Well, your only one week into the program, try to be a little more patient with the results. Your growth and weight gain should come throughout the cycle, and not from one weeks time. Also HST is more so focused on muscle growth rather than large strength gains. *Are you using the same rep...

Sorry about another question regarding the supplement! But.... I was wondering what happends to the total body water when supplementing with creatine. Does your body take water from other areas of the body like the organs, etc, that you already have, or is it added body water from actual...

I've eaten a meal before bedtime every day for years and it never seemed to elicit any noticeable difference in fat gain for me. It seems that the calories I take in day after day makes a difference in my weight gain.

First of all, I don't think training 5 days a week hardcore will yeild better results, I actually think you might end up overtraining. Too much training can be counterproductive depending on the circumstances. Since you are new to lifting weights your body might take several weeks to get in...

I've read on some different sites and heard that soda may put a person at risk of Osteoporosis. Just something I figured I'd throw out there, I havent studied up on it a whole lot but might be worth looking into.

I believe 15's help heal any slight injuries that might have occured and helps protect the joints so you handle the heavier upcoming wieghts in the cycle. So, they do have their purpose!
