Well the last several days I've felt like CRAP!! I've felt dizzy, I've had NO energy and no appitite. I don't know if I caught some flu/cold or what. I know its nothing I'm taking. Feeling a little better right now as I type this but we'll see tomorrow.

I have a couple of questions I need answered for this week. I'm going to start using Omega 3-6-9 softgels 1000mg from NOW nutrition and was curious how many I should take per day. I was thinking 2 in the morning and 2 at night. Do I need more then this?? Also should I drop the declines for awhile since I want a bigger, stout chest and do declines once per month instead of weekly??

Thanks Alot!!

Im sorry to hear that you havent been feeling well. Perhaps it is just some bug that you caught. take the time to get the adequat rest needed and try to eat when you can.

yes you will need more than 4 caps per day. aim for 10.
and YES defintly drop the declines and swap for incline or flat bench.

Thanks PM. The Fish caps I have has ALA in them also. If I remember right it has 1000mg in it also. Which means no need to supplement in the R-ALA I bought then huh??
Thanks!!

ALA and r-ALA act as a creatine transport. It wont hurt to take a capsule or two post w/o with your creatine. If ya already have it, use it.

IT- no no no those fish caps dont have alpha lipoic acid in them .. then have alpha LINEOLIC acid in them (a healthy fat source).
its a totally different area.
you still need the lipoic acid (ALA or r-ALA).

and have that creatine POST workout, not at 4pm.

well clearly you can see that he has legs, and his arms are crossed in front of him!

I think that your superhero starman needs some more air injected in his head!

Well, I see actual arms, but they lead to feet! So it is missing something.

Your just jealous America has a superhero! I found this on the forum... It looks like a little kid from Canada, jus check his shirt. http://pya.cc/pyaimg/pimg.php?imgid=3207

Take the R-ALA post workout with your swole. Prob about 2 caps. It helps transport the creatine.

Some will tell you to take a bunch during the day also. But I personally dont find that necissary.

Wow ! Kickin' ass now ! great job on the bench press
Not sure about your dips, I think I read somewhere that if you lean forward it works the chest more and if you stay more upright it works the tri's more.

Good looking workout as far as numbers go. 60 lb dumb bells ! WOW !
