Yep, just out of curiosity whats supplemts are you taking, if any?

At the moment i'm taking NanoX9 Nitric Oxide before workouts, and Max's Hydroxy Phase Protein powder after, that is it....
I'm now training 3 days instead of 6 and results are 10 fold!!
It has become obvious that recovery is much more important than working out every day!!

I know 3 days straight is not optimum, but it suits my lifestyle, I am unable to get to gym thurs fri sat or sun....

At the moment, this is working for me, so until it doesn't........I won't be changing much...

Been going to the gym for the past 2 years or so and have put on 20kg of muscle. I think i'll be pretty beasty if i can put on another 10-15kgs. i'm 100 now and i think anything above that would be pretty big.

About to start a 5x5 routine similar to this

TESTOSTERONE NATION - The Reg Park Way To Serious Size And Strength

Had some good results myself from a 5x5 routine particularly helping me to break thru some barriers and improve core strength. Interested to see how you find it.

Hi guys just thought i'd join in.. havn't read all the posts here...
It's been a long time since i've worked out, i've been on and off. Really regret stopping as you lose everything really quick :cry: Thank god for muscle memory though

Want to get back into it... i have a lot of my own stuff but you can't beat a gym.. was wondering if anyone here goes to Dohertys or Bell St Fitness.. or any other gyms in Melbourne's western suburbs? Don't want a gym filled with wankers but yeah...thanks.

Never taken a suppliment yet.
Eggs, Tuna and chicken breasts for protein . Also skim milk powder is 35% protein and about $6 a kilo. Make up a shake out of it alot cheaper than protein powders. Heaps of vegatables particularly the green sort to help with iron levels. Any "low G" food for energy (lots of whole grains of every variety)

AND THE BIG BONUS. If the average person has 1200mg of calcium a day it will help your body to crap out 2.5kgs of fat per year. In other words rather than processing some of the fat you ate the body craps it out as the calcium binds with the fat to create a waxy, undigestable substance. As I said this is on average and taking more than 1200mg of calcium a day will give no extra benefit. Plus the calcium is good for the bones, which will gain/maintain density while weight training.
