Thread: Getting lean

I would really suggest against the Muscle-Tech products, they're ridiculously overpriced and under-effective. That being said you have your bases covered, I would suggest adding a multi-vitamin, fish oil, maybe B-Complex for energy but looks like you have at least a few basics covered. How is your Diet and Training, this is were results are really going to come from, not a tub of powder or bottle of pills

Yes, ditch Muscletech. Drink plenty water, cut carbs and switch to veggies in the evening, do cardio everyday, eat properly and you will see the changes. Once you have your 7 day calorie maintenance baseline you can determine how many calories and where to drop them... Start slow so as to be able to add more tools as you get further in to keep seeing results.

alright thanks guys, and would animal pak be a good multi vitamin? and my diet was high in protein, carbs, and calories, but now im trying to get lean so im cutting carbs, drinking allot of water, and im limiting the things i used to eat that had allot of fat in them

Animal pak is a great multi vitamin! How ever I would recommend taking only 1 pak a day opposed to the two that they suggest. I feel that 1 pak per day is plenty. I wouldn't cut out all your carbs like above suggested. You are trying to gain lean muscle correct? Try to eat 1g carbs/ 1lb body weight. 1.5g protein/ body weight and .5gfat /body weight. See where that takes you then make changes accordingly.

alright that sounds better than what i was planning. but i apparently have 19.9 % body fat but i can see a 4 pack (flexing). i want to drop to 10 % and below, i know it depends on the person and diet and training, but how long do you think it would take for me to get to atleast the 10-13% range?

If you can see your abs when flexing, you are most likely below 15% body fat (or a lucky guy at 15% body fat who can see his abs).
