Working out

[The Russian]

I have a friend who works at GNC and another friend who is a trainer and a dealer for Europa. Hit me up and I can get you stuff for below cost.

Creatine only helps to retain water weight, if you consume loads of it daily it can be rough on your kidneys. Chances are you are no where near taking too much creatine. As for the OP, I am guessing you are middle aged? You probably have low testosterone which could be supplemented by a test booster like P6. I would go with a stack of Super HD or Oxy Elite as a thermogenic to burn fat and give you energy. Take that in the morning with a glass of cold water. In addition to that you should take a test booster like P6 or Gamma O to help give you natural energy, sex drive increases, and muscle recovery. Testosterone is everything when it comes to mental and physical health when you are a man. If you want a pre workout you could go with something without DMAA like C4 for the kick you need to get a good pump on at the gym. As far as protein goes, steer clear of mass gainers. Go with Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard Whey, the flavors are great and its got a good blend of nutrients. BCAA's are also a good option as they help build and recover muscle tissue. Never buy the unflavored ones though, they taste like ass. You also need to take a solid multi vitamin.


Hope that helps. If you have any more questions, shoot me a PM.

Yeah I was using EAS PhosHP. 2 scoops in 32 oz of water 3x a week (only during my lifting days). However after talking to some very well versed and knowledgable friends here on the ODT...I think I'm going to stop that part of my regimen.

I've been eating better than I used to. Still working on finding the right balance of not being hungry all the time, can eat at work easily (in an ambulance) and what I can afford.

I've been drinking more water than soda but still drink too much of that. I've been averaging 3-4 days at the gym until the last couple weeks while I've been sick.

My routine if I can even call it that is 30 min cardio on a bike/stair machine/treadmill. And then alternating days of arms/abs/legs

Now that spring is coming, in theory anyway, ill be getting back on my mountain bike a few times a week as well. I just downloaded that myfitnesspal app and ill see if that helps me any

What is a good whey protein that isn't too expensive? And a good fat burning/energy pill that isn't too expensive either?

I know that cheating out isn't the best thing but I do have to keep all this within a reasonable budget

Wow disregard the previous post about good powders. Thanks for all the help guys.

Like I said in my post Oxy Elite. I lost 24lbs on Oxy Elite in a month and a half.

If you want a really cheap pre workout drink coffee before its cheap not the best but it is cheap.

I was told when I was studying sports medicine that caffine cancels out the affects of creatine. I've never heard that anywhere but in that one class, to me it doesn't make any sense because nearly every pre workout has both in them.

Do not do your 30 minutes of cardio before your workout. Always do it after the workout.. Doing cardio on a empty stomach breaks into the fats.

I don't trust any synthetic chemical someone produces that is supposed to benefit my body. Good luck in your work out though bro.

You know your body produces creatine naturally, right? Creatine is in tuna, beef, steak, etc. I would go with natural forms in foods over supplements.
