that's true... I could make my own ECA stack... I used to before...

 

Awe come on, your interweb 1337.

Alt keys or windows character map.

 

or, option and 2 on an Apple...

 

been using that since August to drop some weight, went from 185 to 155 in 3 months, not too bad!

Now getting back to good old O.N. 100% Whey and Prolab Creatine, havent lifted in years, see if I can put that 30lbs back on

 

Nice work man!

Nice choice on your supps. I use ON whey as well and creatine when im bulking

YOu dont need anything more than that except hard work at the gym and a clean diet

 

I miss my thermodrine. I used to take up to 3-10 caps every other day. All these diet pills suck without ephedra.

 

Then just take ephedrine!

 

this might be off topic, but is there any supplement to gain weight, like an weight gainer or some sort???

 

LOts of chicken, tuna, turkey, and carbs

 

well i was thinking about something from GNC or something? o.O

 

the term 'weight gainers' is typically generically used to describe protein dietary supplements, like the Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey I was talking about. There are more choices here than you can count but I like O.N. because it has a ton of protein, low fat, taste good mixed with fat free soy milk, and best of all, its pretty cheap

I have these 3 times a day, morning, between lunch and dinner, and after dinner. Weight gainer is a bit of a misnomer that is not used much anymore since just drinking protein shakes wont gain you muscle, but you need a surplus of protein in your diet when your body is trying to repair and grow new muscle after you work out.

Other than plenty of protein in your diet, creatine supplements are proven to help build muscle. heres a cut-paste from the big bodybuilding.com forum(great place for info!)

"Creatine is an amino acid. It is normally produced in the body from arginine, glycine and methionine. Creatine plays a vital role in cellular energy production as creatinephosphate (phosphocreatine) in regenerating adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in skeletal muscle. Without ATP, muscle contraction is not possible. Oral administration of creatine increases muscle stores and may increase muscle strength and improve exercise performance. In the diet,creatine is found in meat and fish - although cooking destroys most of it. Creatine claims to increase energy, power output, and enchances muscle size and strenght.


A significant gain in physical performance in high-intensity exercise has been shown with creatine doses of 20 to 30 g/day, but more recent research is indicating that similar performance benefits are possible with much lower doses in the range of 2-5 grams/day though benefits may take longer to be noticed).

Taking very large doses of creatine daily seemed to increase the strength of muscular dystrophypatients' muscles by about 10 percent. Although that may be considered a relatively small gain it may be very important to that person who can now pick up a glass of water. Ten grams of
creatine per day for 5 days followed by 5 grams per day for another week have produced increases in muscle strength in the legs, hands and feet of patients with muscular dystrophy.Such patients usually have lower creatine levels than healthy people, so boosting muscle stores may help augment cellular energy production and support muscular contraction."

Prolabs Creatine is a great sup, cheap too!

 

so with that side, will Prolabs Creatine help gain more weight or something? I'm pretty much an nub to this, so please forgive me =X

 

that would definitly be your best start for supps. Are you trying to lose weight as well?

 

I'm actually trying to gain weight, because I'm pretty much on the light side, and I would like that extra weight, if that makes sense. So basically, I should get the Prolab creatine and the Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey protein to gain weight? That's my #1 priority, is to gain weight :P

 

If you really wanna gain weight... Go to a place called Max Muscle. They sell a product called "Big Max".... its a weight gainer forumla, but its not all heavy and weird like the GNC crap. Give it a try.

Eat three real meals a day, and drink three of those shakes in between (they arent that filling.)

In 5 months I gained 50lbs!

Make sure you're lifting weight.
