If you're actually serious about giving IF a try, stick it out for more than a week. Have you ever eaten like this before? Of course you're gonna be a little out of wack on day three. Stick with it for a couple weeks, at least if it doesn't work then, you can honestly say it doesn't work for you...

The recovery drink is meant to replenish your glycogen (carb) stores after your workout. It's basically a gatorade. Protein is designed to rebuild muscle after your workout. Both are important.

I think you're over-complicating things.. If your training is tiring you out you're probably over-training. Which means you can do three things: a) train less b) eat/sleep more c) both But if you're trying to lose weight you might just need to deal with the fatigue. It's hard to have tons of...

haha thats interesting. maybe coincidence but i have a couple asian friends and they ALL have to take a nap after class. i have a feeling its all the simple carbs you're eating sPwism. Since rice and noodles would be hard to get out of your diet, try adding some healthy fats to slow down the...

beefaroni sandwiches? oh god. welcome to the nights of my childhood when mom was working and dad was head chef.

First I want to say kudos to you for helping this kid out, you're doing a great thing. Most people don't write down everything they eat when they keep a journal. I really doubt the problem he's having is not eating enough. Most likely he didn't change his diet much at all, and has hit a plateau...

If I understood your original post, you're looking for an answer to why you crash at 10-11am? Your breakfast consists of all simple carbs. Simple carbs are digested fast. Try adding some complex carbs (oatmeal, brown rice/bread, etc) in your breakfast and see how you feel. You should have...

You get up at 445-5am? That's pretty damn early bro. Do you need to get up that early? Also, are you eating a lot of simple carbs (white rice, bread, potatoes etc.) after your workout? That could be causing your sleepiness.

6'0 225 at 9% BF is pretty big. Your stats tell me you know what you're doing. Just keep lifting hard and eating big. If you truly are around the 9% BF area you can definitely get away with a weight gainer.

I agree with gazhole. Beginners really shouldn't use 5-6 day splits. You need to build a base first. Compound exercises, such as what gazhole outlined in his push/pull/legs split are what you need.

Imo, to increase muscle mass you want to keep the reps in the 8-12 range. Any less will build strength, more will build endurance. I haven't tried the split program you mentioned, but as long as the program includes compound movements(squats,deads,bench) then it's ok. Supplements to increase...

I hate naps. But I doubt it will diminish your morning cardio efforts. You really shouldn't NEED to take a nap though. Are you eating enough?

They haven't put the entire puzzle together yet. Diet, training, rest etc. They might never get it right. But hitting the gym @ 5:30 consistently? Once they do realize how to properly train, at least they'll have the work ethic.

it's not really bad or good. it depends how you use it. some say it decreases testosterone, increases estrogen etc. mostly b.s. theres a good study/article here that should clear up any questions you have http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/general-health-awareness/98274-marijuana-bodybuilding.html

This is a tough one bro. Cold-turkey makes it even tougher. Keep taking away small amounts every couple of weeks and you'll eventually get over the withdrawal symptoms. Good luck man!

Has to be 100% Pure New Zealand Whey Strawberry flavor. Tastes exactly like strawberry ice cream. 28g of protein per scoop, sweetened with stevia. Really high-quality stuff. There's a more in-depth review of it on the blog below my username if you're interested. (Just hit supplement reviews, I...

Some supplements are good for health. Some aren't that great. But I think I've said this a million times now, and will keep saying it: supplements are nothing without a good diet and training program.

trixter, definitely listen to the above posters. first get your diet in check. if you're looking to lose weight, make sure you're burning more calories each day than you are taking in. don't buy the hype on all these products. they are just SUPPLEMENTS. they should SUPPLEMENT a good diet and...

i love the shit you take after ingesting caffeine. feels like it cleans you right out. just sayin. ;)

Only YOU can decide if you will get stronger. It's all about effort and consistency. Your program looks a little intense and you might risk overtraining. Definitely make sure your diet and rest are in check. Good luck brother.
