Who goes to the gym?????, supplements, pre work out supplements etcc Options

[b1gr3d]

Prework out - Multivitamins..tried no xplode, superpump 250 and now I have been trying jack3d for a couple of weeks
During - Gatorade mix ( it's cheap and the electrolytes-salt- help keep water in your system) but I prefer WAR by MRI but it is more costly
after - iso mass extreme gainer. Has creatine and a good amount of protein per serving- it also comes in a 10lb jug and it's FULL! Strawberry is most tolerable ( I have not really gained a huge amount of weight from it but I only take one serving a day instead of 3) nitro core 24 is pretty good as well

hey how has jack3d worked for you?
i havent tried iso mass extreme but i havent seen much good reviews..
are you following a diet or a meal plan?
that might be why you dont increase weight

So far I am liking jack3d but I got my best results with noxplode mixed with creatine and war during my workout.
The isomass I will say is ok. Taste is about a 6-7 and effectiveness I will say is the same. I have tried a couple of jugs of it again between 1 and 3 2 scoop shakes when I calls for 3 3 scoopers. Also it calls for 2%milk and I use water so just that is a 300 cal difference per serving

My diet is in the middle of a bit of a change be ause m work scheduale has changed but it WAS:
wake up at 7 eat hashbrowns, eggwhites and turkey bacon.
Work out at 8-8:30 until 9:30 -protein shake
work at 10
lunch at 230- usually chicken breast and veg. Or some other oven baked meat and veg or mac and cheese/ pasta
go home at 830 and eat pretty much whatever my lady made.
I basically eat whenever I get a chance just so Long as the food isn't bad for me.
I'm also not really tryin to gain alot but just lean out what I have
Bench-275

Fish oil, mega man, and all those fat burner / energy supplements are a waste of money. Just eat right, watch your sugar and fat intake and you will notice that your actually losing weight. Clearly the gym has never really done anything for me other than lift a few weights, get tired out, then stare at females.

Also what helps is getting a good mix of motivational/ metal on an mp3 player and lifting pissed.


it is extremely hard to get all of your required vitamins and minerals but just eating food, that is why there are supplements and vitamins. And even if you did have the "magic meal plan" where you somehow did why wouldn't you still take supplements and get more results?

Sidenote: look up German volume training. Then let's see how you feel in 4-6 weeks

Actually i have had good results with energy supplements. Sure you need to watch what you eat.
If the gym has done anything for you other than get tired and stare at females you are just
wasting your time man.
not to be rude but you it seems you to the gym for no reason.
Going to the gym without a plan is like finding a treasure without a map.
I actually stare at females but that's after im done with the exercise plan.

I have tried lifting with music that pumps me up and it really helps you a lot.
Actually today i tried Jack3d (3 scoops) and wooow it did helped me a lot!
i do weights with my friend and he was like "are you ok?" and i was like yeah why
and then he says "you don't seem to get tired" and i am just like,, oh i am just happy lol

following a meal plan is harder than it looks. if you don't have the time to eat every three hours
it sooo hard.

i will look that up man, thanks...

[b1gr3d]

Whoa 3 scoops may be a little much lol. Yeah eating every 2-3 hrs is best but it's hard as hell. At my work we get breaks every 2 hrs so that helps though. It's kind of Finn hearing people wonder " how do you et so much and stay skinny?" the German volume workout- I have done it twice now following it to a t and impoves my bench by 20lbs eah time!! That is why I like it ...... That and you get REAL GOOD endurance

[joehernandez]

i have been trying jack3d and i get this kind of depression after the gym,
is like i dont want to go out i feel so down man!
i kind of starting to hate the stuff.
I have gained 5 lbs of muscle in 4 weeks, i guess i am on the right track.

@bigr3d i look up german volume training, but i kind of dont get it...
could you explain that to me?
