I like bodybuilding.com, but if you shop around there are cheaper sites.

With the foods mentioned, also lots of lean beef. Don't overdo the egg yolks, but I wouldn't do all egg whites by themselves though. Also need lots of carbs to go with the protein, especially if you're trying to gain weight. Brown/white rice, potatoes, whole grains....nuts, peanut butter....

I was on the Waterbury High Frequency System for about 2 months.
Anyone recommend any other system?
I'm trying to be 170 but cut up!

GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, Vitamin World....any vitamin/nutrition store would sell fish oil.

Egg whites are good. Im not a fan of fish so I ate chicken. I also ate LOTS of pasta. Pretty much everytime after I lifted I would make a huge dish of pasta. PB&J sandwiches are good also. I had some every 2hrs or so.

I've heard of Size-on quite a few times. From researching

The thing that is kinda hard about about supplements is that some of them counteract each other or so they say from what I have read. Such as L-Arginine is supposedly diminished by glutamine. I've read that and it says the same on Nitrix not saying you cant take glutamine products but that the time in-between needs to be a few hours.

Also I've read that Creatine needs to be consumed within 30 minutes after you work out any truth to that?

Idk... when I took it I drank it while I lifted.

@initialgemini
Amount of protein intake is debatable but the formula I provided is not just by random meatheads on the internet, it's been around for a while approved various scientific community.

T-Nation.com | Protein Debate

Is Too Much Protein Unhealthy and Bad for Your Kidneys? | Fitness Black Book

As long as your kidneys are normal, staying active, and staying hydrated, OP shouldn't have much of a problem.

are you kidding me. 400g of protein (if we assume that the the OP weighs 200lbs) intake per day is an extreme excess. The articles mentioned are so flawed in studies because their controls use sports athletes that don't account for other "sports enhancing substances." Post something from a reputable dietitian or science journal that says 2g of protein is safe, then maybe there would be more backing. Prolonged intake of 400g of protein a day will cause all sorts of problems. Just off the top of my head, high cholesterol and kidney problems.

Don't get me wrong, athletes benefit from a higher amount of protein than recommended from the RDA. However, the human body is all about balance. If you're placing more stress on your body, the extra protein will benefit in the recovery process. But, if you give your body 400g of protein not only will most of it be passed out due to excess, but will place stress on the kidneys after prolonged high levels of protein. Balance is key.

Egg whites, chicken, and red meats are good sources. Fish is great too; however, don't over do the frequency of fish. A good friend of mine had mercury poisoning from eating strictly fish.

There is also cheese, milk, nuts, and soy. Products associated with those are usually high in protein.

When's the best time in the day to take a creatine pill supplement? I've been using GNC's Amplified Creatine 189, but I fear I may not be taking the pills at a proper time. Do I take them right after a workout, right before a workout, or just in the morning along with my multivitamins?

rreign · 05-14-2009, 01:14 PM

Not very healthy, but when I was in Cuba and on other deployments I went from 165 to 187 in a 7month period. I took:
fish oil,
vita-packs,
2 protein shakes during the day,
syntha 6 at night,
8 D-Bols throughout the day
6 meals a day (except in Iraq)

1hr calisthenics in the morning 1hr gym time in the evening. Making sure to work all three of the muscle fiber categories depending on exercises.

Well yea D-bols will get you ripped. We are referring to Dianabol right?

You can do before/after or both. No real a best time.

My pre-workout supp has creatine, so I take it before. After your workout though, I believe the body will absorb creatine at a greater rate.

However, once your muscles get creatine "saturated" from regular use, it really doesn't matter either way.
