is anyone still working out lol? Wahoo you got a gf now so you’re probably all weak(er) and small(er) 😛 I can FINALLY workout again. Broke my hand in 2 places and fractured my wrist. (in april) healing process is taking way longer than i expected. I probably wouldn’t trust lifting over 80lbs with that hand yet though so im just going to be tking is slow. I NEED to put on mass. Any suggestions? I will be clean bulking & taking my supplements but i want to know if there is anything else to do. Im like the skinniest 185lb kid ever. ---

I found out that I lift A LOT more when there are hot girls present (insert meathead comment) but FUCK, when its me and like 2 old ladies, I just can’t find the motivation I have when theres about 10 hot girls walking around with 5 lbs dumbbells. ---

bumping this up. i have been making my own supplements, only on my first week actually using them. it is EXTREMELY hard fighting the urge to throw up immediately, and even 20minutes after taking them due to the taste. is there anything i should mix with? Like … what flavor koolaide is the strongest to negate the taste of powder lol. or should i just crush them into pills/capsules. ---

What on earth are you taking? If you take whey too soon before working out (I doubt you’re lifting hard enough) can be toxic. I usually lift, run or spin empty. I’ve been fighting that to get some fuel in myself b/c I’ve been smelling ammonia in my sweat from my body breaking down the amino acids in protein for energy and my body/kidneys unable to handle the excess ammonia into urea and expelled in urine. This can happen once you deplete your glycogen stored in your liver and is toxic in your bloodstream. I’ve been carrying gels lately running and riding my bike more and using them where I would suffer before. ---

Jack3d from USP labs will rock your world if you’re not ready for it. Mix half a scoop with 8oz water, stir quickly, swirl glass & shoot it back all @ once… Once you adapt you can increase intake. I was up to the full 3 scoops on back/deadlift days but didn’t dare take anywhere near that much on arm days b/c I couldn’t even bend my arms b/c my biceps were so full of blood. ---

I’m teaching Spinning Friday @ 9:30am if anyone cares to join me. After the 1st of the year, I’ll be on the schedule at 8:30am Mondays in Lancaster teaching Spinning. ---

Any of you guys ever try this? ![http://assets.bodybuilding.com/store/prodimage/prod_prod590046/image_prodprod590046_black130px.jpg](http://assets.bodybuilding.com/store/prodimage/prod_prod590046/image_prodprod590046_black130px.jpg) Holy fucking pre-workout energy boost. Says to take 1-2 scoops but a half is more than enough. Only thing is it makes me sweat like a damn pig, feels like every room is 20 degrees hotter. ---

Jack3d was my favorite, gave me that boost I needed afterwork, but gave me some trouble sleeping if I took it to late and didn’t wear myself out. _Now I just use pure motivation._ I’ve gone to 3-day a week strength schedule, Back/Bi’s, Chest/Tris, Shoulders/Legs. Back/Bi’s has really helped me work through a plateau and this one hammer strength machine has become a favorite. Almost always to 21 made in 42s (21 inside grip, 21 outside grip on easy curl bar). However leg workouts have been somewhat relaxed as of late as my left knee’s been giving me some trouble. Pressure, minor swelling, no pain. Knee strap solves it and based on where the discomfort was I’m gathering strained patellar tendon. Elliptical on hills and valleys mode for 30mins good to go after most workouts. On the other days of the week between the “big 3” in the mornings I do different kinds of core stuff mixed with push-ups, pull-ups, body-weight stuff etc., but the holiday and grind of the hospital have me skipping more days than I want to be. December is full steam ahead though in prep for the Field Medical Training Battalion (I report in January, 8 week camping trip with yelling, paper tests, and physical fitness Marine Corp style, some say its tough others say no sweat), hey in 6 months I could be deployed with Marines, Army or some sort of NATO adventure. Navy Corpsman IA crazy stuff. I have one of the few rates(jobs) in the navy that I might never actually be on a ship, especially since I have “green-side” aka Marine Detachment, orders. A year ago I was swinging hammers and now I’m drawing blood as a “phlebotomist” until I go to Field Med. So make a goal and stick with it! ---

> [@Spam16v](#): > > stick with it. what are your goals? Lose 30-40lbs, be able to run a few miles (I’ve done the 5k loop at rit in 26 mins a couple times), get a beach body. I was lost 25 pounds 2 summers ago from 205 to 180 and now I am at 215. You would never guess if you saw me but I can kinda see it in my face and definitely in my gut.

I’ve been super lazy since college which is a shame. Since then I couldn’t stick with working out for more than 3 months, finally I’ve been working out and sticking with it. Started doing just cardio during the summer and I’ve been back in the gym since the beginning of Aug. My biggest issue has been my rotating schedule which I don’t have anymore so now that I usually sleep and wake up at the same time it makes it much easier. Started doing Wendlers 5/3/1, After the first week I came to terms with the fact I was being lazy on my self designed workout. I already knew this because I stuck with workouts I was comfortable with and didn’t really push myself. I’m going to stick with this for a while and see how it goes.
