The Amazing Race: Fitness Thread / Work-Out Thread

^ yeah, the only reason I would want to take supps is to gain muscle mass in my chest. No other reason though.

I can cut down easily. I did the diet my wife is doing ( eating every two hours, only small lowfat snacks, and not eating past 7p) and I lost 15 lbs in 2 weeks. Crazy! I knocked that off pretty fast and put on some more muscle mass. Kept the fat off though.

The lowest body fat percentage I have ever achieved was 6.0%, (at 170 lbs) during college. Just dieting, working out,and running. I was also benching 345lbs at that time.

i only take creatine, jack3d, and protein right now.

Jack3d is the shit, if you like that i'd also recommend White Flood. Both do the same thing for you but White Flood has more Beta Alanine in it, makes you tingle ALOT.

Anyway, i recently started lifting this year seriously. I took a strength and conditioning class at my high school last year and that got me started. I went into high school (10th grade where i went) weighing 135 pounds and i graduated this year and i'm currently at 170 pounds with a little less than 7% body fat, and i'm 5'11".
I usually played basketball every winter, and by play i mean warm the bench. But my i got cut this year and decided to hit the weight room. I didn't take any supplements when i lifted this winter except for Muscle Milk after my work out. In about 3-4 months i put on around 10-12 pounds. Since then I put on another 8-10, and I'm hoping to weigh atleast 185 by the end of my freshman year of college. I'll try to find some pics to actually show how much weight i put on.

^you know I will hold you to it for sure, buddy

....slap bet?

Depends on what your slapping


Seriously though, hold me to it.. I need to get back after it in a fierce way.

[Petis]

My brother and I made a slap bet for the same thing, from christmas '09 to christmas '10. He has lost somewhere around 20-25lbs. He will stillbe getting slapped, but its pretty good motivation


I will harass you about it regularly Ben. No worries

oh and btw... gaspari superpump seems to work pretty well for me as a pre-workout other then that i just take my multi (was animal pack, currently switched to gnc because i got tired of taking 11 pills just for a multi) and optimum whey goldstandard protein
