Well the last several days I've felt like CRAP!! I've felt dizzy, I've had NO energy and no appitite. I don't know if I caught some flu/cold or what. I know its nothing I'm taking. Feeling a little better right now as I type this but we'll see tomorrow.

I have a couple of questions I need answered for this week. I'm going to start using Omega 3-6-9 softgels 1000mg from NOW nutrition and was curious how many I should take per day. I was thinking 2 in the morning and 2 at night. Do I need more then this?? Also should I drop the declines for awhile since I want a bigger, stout chest and do declines once per month instead of weekly??

Thanks Alot!!

Im sorry to hear that you havent been feeling well. Perhaps it is just some bug that you caught. take the time to get the adequat rest needed and try to eat when you can.

yes you will need more than 4 caps per day. aim for 10.
and YES defintly drop the declines and swap for incline or flat bench.

Jen,
WOW ten per day!! Do I take 5 in morn and 5 in eve?? I've been doing all 3 lately but I'll drop Declines then.
Thanks!!

 

[PreMier]

Take a few at every meal. Evenly spaced throughout the day.

I hate monkeys...

 

[I'm Trying]

Thanks PM. The Fish caps I have has ALA in them also. If I remember right it has 1000mg in it also. Which means no need to supplement in the R-ALA I bought then huh??
Thanks!!

 

[PreMier]

ALA and r-ALA act as a creatine transport. It wont hurt to take a capsule or two post w/o with your creatine. If ya already have it, use it.

 

[I'm Trying]

Well I'm taking my Swole when I wake up and 12 hrs later (4am) and I work out about 6:00pm will that do me any good??
Thanks!!

 

[PreMier]

Huh? You mean your not taking ANY creatine post workout?

 

[atherjen]

IT- no no no those fish caps dont have alpha lipoic acid in them .. then have alpha LINEOLIC acid in them (a healthy fat source).
its a totally different area.
you still need the lipoic acid (ALA or r-ALA).

and have that creatine POST workout, not at 4pm.

 

[PreMier]

Does that monkey not have arms, or legs...

I think that your superhero starman needs some more air injected in his head!

Well, I see actual arms, but they lead to feet! So it is missing something.

Your just jealous America has a superhero! I found this on the forum... It looks like a little kid from Canada, jus check his shirt. http://pya.cc/pyaimg/pimg.php?imgid=3207

[I'm Trying]

Ok I'll take addition R-ALA have the stuff anyways.
Thanks!!

 

[PreMier]

Take the R-ALA post workout with your swole. Prob about 2 caps. It helps transport the creatine.

Some will tell you to take a bunch during the day also. But I personally dont find that necissary.

Wow ! Kickin' ass now ! great job on the bench press
Not sure about your dips, I think I read somewhere that if you lean forward it works the chest more and if you stay more upright it works the tri's more.

Good looking workout as far as numbers go. 60 lb dumb bells ! WOW !

 

[gwcaton]

Workout looks great!!!

 

[I'm Trying]

Thanks Jen!! Problem is I'm trying to bulk but have only gained about 1 lb in a month. Well I guess it might not have helped being sick though. Still my weights have gone up but I can't really notice any muscle growth. I'm kinda dissapointed. But I guess if I continue to work hard it will come.
Thanks!!

 

[Monolith]

Dang, you're gettin strong quick man. Very nice work.

Are you on a specific type of bulking diet, or just "EATIN LOTS"?
