Working out

Anyone here work out?

If so, do you use supplements? which ones?

Right now I'm using Hydroxycut Hardcore (thermogenic) to cut some weight and bump my metabolism. But I also drink a pre-workout drink, a drink for during your workout and a post-workout formula.

Just by taking the Hydroxycut Hardcore I dropped 5lbs in one week with only working out 3 times that week. I've bumped up the amount I workout from 3 days to 5 days and will be weighing myself at the end of the week.

Hydroxcut is baaad, didnt they recall that shit?

Right now all I take are protien shakes after lifting sessions.

Hydroxycut will push most of the water out of your body. I have used it. I am using Isatori MX-LS7 right now and actually really like it. Isatori is a great brand. MuscleTech is an awesome brand for sure but pretty spendy from GNC. Try the Vitamin Shoppe. They have way better deals.

Do you use any Creatine supplement?

i took creatine for a month didnt even see a result so i quit but i take protien

Not the hardcore series. I have used the HardCore X. Works very well.

Looking for someone who has used Creatine Monohydrate and has used CEE (Creatine Ethyl Ester) and what their take on it is. I bought come CEE and after reading reviews, starting to think about returning it...

I've been using GNC Pro Performance CreaDrive, but it tastes like poop. So I'm in the market for a new one. Just not sure which one.

I have had great results from the Hydroxycut Hardcore X. If you're really sensitive to caffeine you'll probably hate it, but after the first two days you really don't feel it.

Yeah, people who are sensitive to caffeine shouldn't take that for sure. I take 4 MX-LS7. Caffeine does not bother me at all.

I started working out about a month and a half ago. People would label me a "ecotomorph" or a "hardgainer," which basically means I have a high metabilism and I'm naturally lean/skinny.

I'm not expert on supplements or anything and I don't claim to be but I've done some research.

What I use is Gold Standards 100% Whey Isolate Protein and GNC's Amplified Creatine 189. That's it, other than that I eat healthy and have at least 6 small meals a day since I started working out.

What I do is take a scoop of protien (the amount of protein you take may vary based on your weight) and a pill of creatine 30 mins before I workout and again right after I workout.

I think what's more important than supplements is just having a good diet (put good things in yor body to get good results) and putting the hard work in. Sometimes keeping your motivation up can be a challenge.

What brand name protein you take?

A//// Guy · 04-20-2010

I like muscle milks products, always tasted good.

I cant take any of that caffiene type stuff, makes me super dizzy.

RS98GSX · 04-20-2010

AST- Micronized Creatine Monohydrate - 10g a day - most of the time before workout, and before bed

ON Gold Standard 100% WHEY

I've had awsome results! I was ripped in highschool but even more now!

I thought about those too. I am hooked on high quality protein. I have been taking ON gold standard 100% whey and ON Casein, I have moved up to the ON Platinum standard Hydro Whey. Not sure if the Muscle Milk has as much quality of Whey as the ON products, ya know?

What brand name of Creatine do you take? Ever look at a BSN Cellmass or an Isatori 3XL?

**LingLing** · 04-20-2010

Muscle Milk does taste better than most powder drinks but they have saturated fats to help with the flavor. But it still gets the job done.

I read the "Endomorphic" body type, and that describes me perfectly. I put muscle on easy, but it is hard for me to lose weight.

Motivation is hard but I have a buddy drives me. We are competitors and it is all about competition with us. That is what drives me to work harder. Most of you guys are in competition with each other on making your cars faster.

A//// Guy · 04-20-2010

It definetly helps to have someone to work out with. I work out harder when I life with someone.

I also agree on eating a ton of good things, versus just eating alot to gain and taking supplements. It takes a lot more good food to gain good weight though, and it gets expensive, thats why I toned down on gaining mass and fell back to my old weight.

I you like N.O. Xplode, try Isatori MORPH MegaDrive. Best pre-workout formula I have used. It is on sale right now for 40$.

**goodhart** · 04-20-2010

I'm on this new beer diet. Not sure if I am loosing weight, but I like it so far.

oh HGH is good shit too, took some in Iraq and my bench went up like 25lbs in 2 weeks.

awd-drifter · 04-20-2010

I've been working out since this January. I've lost about 20 pounds since then but gained 10 pounds...I believe from muscle.

I've been taking Dymatize Elite Whey Protein before and after workouts. I just need to start losing weight. Do you guys know any 'weight losing' supplements or workouts? I've been told to just keep running but I get bored quickly just running a mile or 2.
