isnt it help the body absorb the protein better? so in your opinion what do YOU think a basic good supplement is? right now i take nothing and i havent seen a loss in muscle - but i did increase my protein eating..
Listen to Fox Racer, he's right about all that.
With high protein intake, higher water intake is required. Our bodies aren't made of 70% of it for no reason ya knowFail that, THEN worry about kidney problems.
Strype, my point of the laughing smiley was at the "creatine>protein". Reason: Protein is food. Think of it as building blocks for muscle. Without enough blocks, you don't grow. Period. That's why so many people fail at building muscle, because they don't eat enough day in and day out to support it. Your body doesn't want to build muscle, it does so by adaption. You break down muscle fibers AT the gym, and you grow during recovery. But you need the right fuel before you bottom out quickly. Creatine can only do so much, and it's nowhere near what everyone cracks it up to be. Maybe for those who eat like a bird and try it for the first time and get lots of newbie gains (which they lose after because they don't eat to support any newfound results), but that's about it as far as being "the greatest" supplement out there. And don't get me started on L-Glutamine...
Why take creatine when the body produces and regulates its levels naturally... any extra consumed just ends up being secreted as waste through the kidneys
Difference between steriods and creatine:
You take creatine? Wow I never would've guessed...
JESUS CHRIST! You got big as ****!
Don't worry much about weight on its own. You can retain so much water in any given day that it can make the scale seem nuts. You can eat a spoonful of sodium more than usual and that'll blow your numbers out of proportion in that respect, for instance. The causes are so vast that it's not worth it to concern yourself with the scale unless you're trying to make a weight class.
I use straps when I do 700lb. rack pulls, call me a pantywaste and I'll drop it on your foot!But hey, not all of us are a captain of crush!
Don't waste your money on weight gainer powder. Do yourself better and mix your own with whey protein of your choice, raw oats, and peanut butter mixed up in a shake. A good mix will give you 700 calories that you can easily take in, and it's actual food AND cheaper per serving vs. those loaded calorie gainers. Trust me. At your weight, just eat your ass off and lift. Pasta, breads, all the heavy carbs. Pack 'em down and get AT LEAST equal amounts of protein per day. Depending on how your body holds fat, you could get away with having protein and carb calories be equal, or you might hve to take in more protein to offset the % of your daily intake
Let's also make it a point to mention that even WITH steroid use, without FOOD you still aren't going to get much results. I know a few people who are on "the sauce" and you'd hardly even suspect they lift weights frequently. It's hilarious.

That's because he took HGHDefinitely not a good idea, I'd imagine the only stuff even "worth" taking (not that I think it is, fyi) is the stuff that's just not affordable for normal use.
FWIW, Skip LaCour is supposed to be natural and I believe picked up his pro card recently. It's possible, just not probable. Definitely won't turn out like the top IFBB pros without some juice though, if that's what you meant.
Oh of course. I meant that Test was an absolute as to whether or not it'd work, whereas creatine is hit or miss.
Strype - eat MORE of that and you'll be building muscleIt's an easy thing, it's just hard to execute day after day after day. You might be surprised at how little you actually eat when it's all nutrient-filled calories. Anyone can eat a big calorie diet when pizza is involved (for instance) but when you're talking all good, clean foods, it's a whooole 'nother story. Usually I have people write down what they eat when they complain they eat a lot and can't gain mass, and it's NEVER even 3000 calories. Thankfully, once you get used to eating big, it's 2nd nature.
For whoever asked, I pull every 3 weeks currently, but I'm also cutting. I do a 3-workout cycle where I do one on week 1, the next on week 2, the last on week 3, then i start again the next time around. When I bulk I will be pulling more often.
I do rack pulls from right at the knee, bodybuilding style. You can do them lower/higher to work on sticking spots too, which is a powerlifting technique (overhaul to break through your weak points, which you can do for board presses, pin presses, pin squats, etc.). Working through those will help your entire deadlift by making you able to break thru your sticking point, which obviously gives you a bigger pull number. Me, I'm more for development so I don't let my pull speed hinder my back lockout strength. The idea behind the rack pull is, from a powerlifting standpoint, be able to lock out much more than your max so whe you DO attempt your max, you won't get stuck halfway up and lockout will be a snap.Powerlifting is fun that way, and how you can attack your weak spots and turn it all around. I don't do much in that respect but I DO use the methods when I want to raise my numbers and make everyone think I'm on drugs because they can't do it too...
