Well I'm skeptical of that stuff, but even if I wasn't I already have two jars of creatine monohydrate, not going to throw it out!

Hey all, I used to lift pretty regularly but I've really not done it in a few years. Anyways, going on vacation in a bit over a month so I decided to do a very busy training schedule until then, and I started loading creatine 3 days ago. My question is how many days does it take to get rid of...

I have a old bottle of this stuff, that has been kept in a cool dark place, labeled to expire on 12/03. However I'm not sure I believe it, it's all dried herbs in a capsule.. So someone who know please help me out -> Do the following ingredients breakdown, and if so do they become useless or...

If I'm reading you right you're doing 20 reps with 12lb dumbells for db chest press? I'd argue that anything over 10 reps is not doing anything for building muscle, if at all, and also 12lbs is extremely light, for anyone. You might as well just flap your arms in the air 50 times instead, they...

I want to know if there is a way to calculate a second and third set after ten-rep max. For example this is the start of my bench routine, 95x10 2 sets, 135x10, 155x10,195x10. 195x10 is my ten-rep max. Now I can calculate that out to 260 one rep max and the next session I can change the weight...

My method is pop it in my mouth take a swig of water, rinse and swallow, then chug at least 8-12oz of water. More water through out the day. As long as you have pure stuff it shouldn't taste like anything at all. I'm pretty sure creatinine tastes very bitter - I tried refrigerating a...

Just got it today, mail order though. The customer service is pretty good, but I don't want to bother shipping them back.

I'm estimating I'll be done with it all in 3.5 months. Which means I'm going to go over the the expiration date by a little over 2 months. Do you guys think it will be ok? Manufacture date is 3/01. I just opened it today and it tastes fine (like nothing).

No :( It looks like a 'leveled' teaspoon to a heaping teaspoon pretty much doubles or almost triples the amount. In which case if I leveled it I may be only get 1-2 grams, or I could be getting 10+ grams out of the heaping teaspoon. In any case I would be much more comfortable knowing exactly...

What is the best spot on way to measure 5 grams of creatine without getting scales? i.e. Level teaspoons would be nice. The label says 'rounded' does that mean 'leveled'? I've had some musclemag creatine before and it said 'heaping' teaspoons - but had the same 5 grams per dose. ahh confusion!

When I do that I get lightheaded from all the blood flowing away from my brain, at which point I usually say to myself "I feel like crap today" and wimp out. Perhaps a regular warmup 10-15 minutes and then intervals, followed by endurance until you've done about 60 minutes?

Ever since I've tried to eleminate processed sugars, it leaves a horrible sour aftertaste in my mouth (that would be the acid eating my teeth). Sometimes it doesn't feel worth it to taste the ben and jerrys or reeses cups, Oh and my ass refuses to close for about 6 hours after I've had a small...

Once I made a 32oz conconction of chocolate whey, milk, and 10 grams of creatine. I didn't have time to finish it so I stuck it in the fridge for 4-5 hours. WhenI got to it the creatine settled to the bottom, and below that was most of the chocolate from the whey, embedded in the bottom of the...

Wide grip does not strech lats more. When are your lats at their lognest position, when they are straight up, or out to your side?(wide grip). Ultimately it does not matter, wide grip just puts your biceps at a mechanical disadvantage. The good part of that is that for some reason you can't...

How about no rice? There are other ways of getting carbs.
