What supplements are you guys taking?

 

Right now I'm only using Isopure Whey Protein Isolate which is awesome. Love taking it but I'm looking for a good pre-workout supplement.

 

I used to take Cytogainer but had a bad reaction towards the end.

I don't take anything at the moment. Main reason being because I have no idea what is good and what's bad.

[CaliCurbStomppa]

I take Whey and USPlabs Jack3d (Gives you a lot energy and can help u work very intense which been good but bad thing is it can make u a little sick before u start working out)

I just signed up for 24 Hour Fitness in Phoenix. I worked out alot last year than pretty much stopped for a year, for no reason at all. I was stupid but it's in the past.

 

I'm hoping to lose 35 lbs by September and a total of 70 lbs by January.

You should only be losing about .5 pounds per week, if you want a healthy loss.

I'm also looking to lose weight. I'm currently 198 and I'd like to be around 180-185.

[Warren2ThaG]

Anyway i can gain weight? I'm 6'0 and weight only 140. Eating tons of fat food doesn't help...

Lets switch our metabolism. You take mine and I'll take yours.

[Check my Stats]

I might look into that P90X [expletive].

I got a buddy who has been doing it for a while and he loves it. I've never tried it myself but I know it works after talking to him about it.

[Check my Stats]

Ya my friend at work was telling me about it, he is gonna do it, he said his buddy stopped after just a month because he was already happy with the results lol.

Get him to burn a copy of it all for you.

My buddy went to a nutritionist a couple weeks back and she told him that you should be able to lose 2-3 lbs a week if you're doing it in a healthy way. I can lose 0.5 in a day, that doesn't seem much.

[EastCoastNiner]

Too bad you're wrong, just like in the other thread where you said you were just being a troll. It's not unhealthy to lose more than .5 pounds in a week. . I'm doing P90x, and people lose 20+ pounds in a month, and they are perfectly healthy, and in better shape than most people, so your information is not credible.

[EastCoastNiner]

I'm in my third week of it, and I've lost ten pounds and 4% body fat already, and I'm feeling stronger as well.

 

It really does work, but you NEED to follow the nutrition plan if you want the best results.

[BasX]

I lost 13lbs during May by just eating at better times and working. I had a nice schedule going before I started working again so if I can modify so I can workout enough and still have enough energy for work I'll continue to lose the weight I gained over the winter.

I lost 45 lbs over 3.5 months back at the end of 2009, than I stopped going to the gym.

[Cobb]

The hardest thing for me is eating. I'll randomly snack whenever I feel like it.

[Flash]

LMAO @ .5 lbs per week.

 

What school do you go to again?

[CaliCurbStomppa]

a lot people have trouble with that. Especially when they want to bulk up because if ur not eating enough your muscles won't grow.

[Cobb]

I hate during interval running. It's killing me.

[Jammin]

I've lost 3 lbs since I've been in Arizona. It's probably just water weight, but I'm also in 110 degree weather and sweating every time I step out of the door hahaha.
