Do you think they're worth it? I've been using Redline before my workouts.

I posted something on open chat to ask what the shipping is. I know Ian lives in Canada along with a few others. Maybe someone could help.

So this isnt my last meal of the day, but by far the boringest! I didnt feel like eating much, I dont know why but I didnt.

6 ounces chicken breast
6 fish oil pills

Boom there it is, cut and dry (and I am talking about the chicken!)

BMU I really wanted to keep things seperate so people can concentrate on either one thing or another. I get better advice this way. I doubt I will ever see Stew in here!

Just as I dont expect to see Tom in my training to often.

Happy New Year, Dub! If you do as much work in the gym as in the journals, it'll be a great year!

Wear that hunger like a badge, soldier! Think about how many people around you would just give in and have a twinkie or a ho-ho. YOU ARE BETTER THAN THEM!!!!!

Thank you very much P, I needed that. Today has been killer. Either tommorow or Tuesday I will have that cheat meal I am craving. I need to keep my sanity. I am down a pound however! I weighed this morning and I think it is more like a pound and a half. Not to bad for a weeks worth of hard work. Its just what I wanted.

Don't worry about the 1.5lb drop in one day, your bodyweight can flocculate a lot depending on a variety of things such as: Food in the GI tract, water retention, glycogen stores, etc.
Mine always flocculates around 3lbs each day, that's why it's important to weigh yourself once a week, on the same day, first thing in the am, right after using the washroom.

ps LOL ya, me + training advice = ... well just doesn't happen I suck at training, MAJORLY. If I had it my way I'd be in the gym everyday for 2 hours doing a weight session with 30+sets ... I love to train, and am often caught in that mindset more is better

Hope all is going well with ya!!

BMU No more cutting. I cant stand it. I am far far from fat (got my bf checked yesterday it was 13%). Not great, but I am ok for now. I want to see if I cant increase my strength some more. I figure I got until March before I am in need for a big cut!

Tom All is well. Decided to eat again, I felt like a damn mouse. I know I was cutting to fast as well, I suffered strength decreases once again.

Jodi Yes we did, I have a hard time eating alot of things like red meat, because of the heart problems in my family.

Burner Whats up?

DD - Red meat doesn't not cause heart problems. Neither do eggs Saturated fat is not the enemy and we NEED small amounts of sat fat in our diets.....

D If you need more reassurance on the heart issue fish oil naturally has cholesterol but yet it lowers cholesterol and helps your heart among many many things. I do think that large amounts of saturated fat with cholesterol can cause problems when they are together like that. Plus we gotta consider that cows are feed mostly grain which fucks with their omega3 to omega6 ratio. One more reason to avoid grain *brutus waits for insults from carb pro people*

Bf percentages can be often bogus w/ standard deviations of like 5 percent. 8 percent is very different than 13, as is 18. They can serve a purpose because of consistancy though. Cutting sucks!

Jodi I always get my red meat to done as well. I am not a steak fan. I would just soon eat something like lean hamburger.

Brutus My diet is doin ok at this point, I am not bulking, but yet trying to get stronger.

Fufu Agreed, cutting sucks bad!!!!
