Supplements

foreurizonly · 04-17-2008, 07:58 PM

ok...I need help. I have been trying to do some research on supplements for women. I currently take l-carnitine, protien, and eat right....the problem is that although I have muscle growth, I still have too much skin covering my muscles. I do cardio after each work out and love to cycle. I am currently doing a 3 day split routine, but I change up about every 2 weeks, usually working out 3-5 times a week. I know that supplements aren't specified by gender, but I need somthing that won't make me gain, while helping me lose that extra layer!

Gain muscle while losing fat?

AAS + GH.

Sorry. Nothing else will allow you to do that.

l-carnitine <- useless
protien <- this is just food.
and eat right. <- I wonder how you eat?

Don't want to gain? Don't eat over maintenance. I know it sounds simplistic, but that's really all there is too it.

Roughly what bodyfat level are you currently? How tall, what do you weigh?

Could you describe how you train? Movements performed, reps, sets, weight used... duration and type of cardio?

Body fat...I would say about 32%.

This is why I am asking the question. I am 5'7" 150lbs.

I switched up this week from my previous workout. I am doing a 3 day split routine.

mon- chest/tri's/biceps (this isn't what I am used to, I usually don't work my tri's and bi's together).
Weds- back/shoulders
Fri-legs/abs

the sets are usually 10,8,6 drop +4
legs are 12,10,8,6
abs are 2 15-20

chest is usually chest press, flys, incline press
tris-skull crushers, dips, pull downs
biceps-hammer curls, ez bar curls, barbell curls
back- pull ups,bent over rows, straight arm pull downs, dead lifts
shoulders-shoulder press, lateral press, upright rows.
legs/calves-squats, lunges, curls, extensions, press, dead lifts,donkey calf raise, tibial raise, sitting calf raise.
abs-crunches, incline crunches, incline leg raise.

My cardio is usually spinning for about 60 min. This is a pretty intense pace. But half the time I just walk briskly on a treadmill (bad knees) till my heart rate is about 60-75% of my max. I do this 3-4 x a week.

I know my body fat needs to be lower. I think I am just not eating enough. I know I need to eat more, but I am allergic to chicken

so my foods are limited. I eat a lot of oatmeal, peanuts (sometimes), broccoli....I'm not saying I am a saint! I do have my bad habits, I don't want to give up all of it

Ok...give me the good news first! Is there any?

How heavy are your lifts?
And what macros do you consume (that means total calories, and grams of protein, carb, and fat). I don't care about your food choices or the percentages.

ITS FRIDAY NIGHT....and I have had a shitty day at work...actually I have a lot of shitty days at work. I did however, go work out. I am home now enjoying my favorite drink (rum and diet cranberry juice.)I know alcohol isn't that good for me if I want to reach my goals, but how bad is it for me?

My cursory understanding of these things is that fat burning stops in the presence of alcohol - which incidentally interferes with both testosterone production and protein synthesis.

Other than that - oh, and the empty calories - nothing wrong with it at all. As long as you're not driving...

Sorry you had a shitty day.
