No body believes me when I tell them I work online, they all think I must be a construction worker or something
Ha, same here . Well sorta anyway. I don't exactly make a living from the internet but hopefully sometime in the near future I'll be up there one day:]. I think bodybuilders get too much of stereotypical reputation. Ever heard of the old saying, "All brawn and no brains?" Not trying to sound cocky, but atleast guys like us prove that wrong.
I was a bodybuilder for awhile till i gave that up to focus on work. Used to take creatine, whey, NO2 all that good stuff. Creatine was disgusting tho, mine tasted like acid
Sounds like CEE, there are many forms of creatine, some taste like crap, others taste pretty damn good.
Have you guy ever stop using creatine and feel weird? I have been using it for half an years and stop 3 week ago. Since then i feel extremely tried (physically and mentally). I feel the same the last time i stop using creatine 2 years ago
You're supposed to cycle it! Yes you'll be a bit more drained so your body doesn't have the supplement of creatine plus more than likely is not producing it's normal amount since you were on it so long w/o a break.
I also do bodybuilding, I only started 6 months ago. I workout 4 days a week 2 hours a day. Day 1: chest & triceps Day 2: Back & Biceps Day 3: Abs & Shoulders Day 4: Legs I also drink a protein shake after workout
BTW just because someone lifts weights does not = body building I'm not sure I'd even equate myself to body building, yet I'm willing to bet I take it more seriously than most everyone on DP.
Arnold also took steroids Everyone needs to find a workout that works for them, not every workout is good for everyone.
ever tried the 3x3 workout? http://www.ironmag.com/archive/ironmag/2002_sf_metabolic_conditioning1.htm
Same, I lift weights, I'm far from a body builder. I started because I used to look manorexic... seriously ill (I was 5"11 and 112lbs). I've managed to put on about 42lbs since I started a year ago, so 154lbs now, looking to get to 168lbs. I have a bf% of about 8-9. I do 4000+cals/day, 250g protein, 6 meals, 3+ litres of water, and I've been on a bulk since I started, so about a year ;] once I get to 168lbs, I'll cut my bodyfat and probably do some cardio.
You are supposed to cycle your supplements. I think it is about 2 months taking them, 1 month without them. This allows your body not to become dependent upon the supplements, and you will also see the benefits more clearly if you take breaks!
