hell ya, the 7 mile trek is like cake now. I just put on my ipod and time flies. I also started this yesterday.
I put my bike in the hardest gear. Do about 10-15 HARD pedals to get my speed up, then takes about 8 long breaths while coasting, then 10-15 HARD pedals, etc.

after doing this like 2-3 times im flyin down dale mabry, keeps my speed up the whole way there, and my legs dont fatigue at all. give it a shot.

I do the exact same. I rode BMX for several years so my legs have always been pretty well maintained. I put the bike in the hardest gear also and haul ass straight to the gym and back. Great cardio and you already got the blood flowing when you walk into the gym. Also, the pre-workout.

NITRIFLEX?
i heard some good about it. I tried a sample of BSN HYPERFX. It was different.
Im guesing a lower level of beta alanine, No xplode makes me tingle bad, this didnt at all.

BUT, in 1 serving is 270mg of caffiene. And it has peppers in it which give it a spicier taste then no xplode.
overall, it was good.

Went ham on my shoulders last night. And im officially 170lbs! lol It doesnt sound like much, but considering I was 140-145 this time last year, and I look more toned, thats great. My legs are shedding fat due to my biking, so Im staying lean. My diet isnt where I want it to be. It sucks because I live on my own now and have nothing to cook in, so I tend to resort to fast food, or beef jerky snacks. BAD

A couple days ago I started forcing rice and pasta down my throat, and started taking my carbo gain again. Mixing it with warm lemonade letting it dissolve, then re-chilling is such a great method to add complex carbs. Lets hear some updates gentlemen

EDIT: KABRON, insert warm lemonade joke below

Ive testing Cellucor's M5 currently and I have to say its badass. It is quite pricey but its a pretty revolutionary supplement. Its a pre supp that is designed to help build mass specifically. Ive taken it 3 times so far and every time Ive trained with it I feel huge.

[markstheman365]

^my freind took that as an intra-workout. He kept saying it was for during a workout. Now that i looked into it, I think hes retarded, because AHe would finish it while we finished our workout. So he would go home wired i guess lol.

[sheWANTSaKAWI]

Ive used GAT's pre and it does work but there is better products out there. A couple of my favorites are Cellucor's C4 Extreme, Animal Rage, AppNut's Lit-up, and Controlled Labs White Flood. All are excellent pre's. If you join BB.com or are already a member, you can go under company promotion and usually can get free samples of there products to test.

BTW, jack3d is garbage. It gives you good energy for a short period of time but after you're finished training you will be completely drained and not be able to sleep at night due to the stims they add.

I've never had a crash on Jack3d and I've been taking it for years now. Maybe that's just me? I always work out at night though, so after I work out... I'm tired from working hard (and working two jobs lol) so I eat, and then pass out.

I just don't want to pay an arm and a leg for an "okay" product. I've only heard a couple people who really liked the Cellucor products. I tried the C4 and wasn't a fan.

What everyone's favorite exercise? No matter the muscle group?

I love 21s but I hate them at the same time. I have the same hate love relationship with Medicine Ball Pushups. lol

My favorite workout would prolly be a single arm dumbbell snatch, & if i had to group my favorite workouts it would be back & shoulders.

Jack3d is awesome. I never got used to it so every workout was great when I used it. I have heard of people crashing while using it, but they also had a low tolerance to caffeine.

i liked jack3d at first then quickly became immune to it 1 scoop wasn't enough then 2 scoops was eehh & then a few times it made me throw up after my workout, coulda just be too much caffeine or something...but so far still liking the GAT nitraflex stuff alot. only takes one scoop & I srsly have energy for like 8 hours. It even says on the container do not use a few hours before sleeping.

I wish i could do more bicep workouts, I have a Eff'd up wrist & the pressure of holding the bar kills my wrist. I just recently started Taking fish oil n another joint vitamin.
