Weight Loss or Weight Gain Thread "2012"

[SlowNA06]

Deadlift is up 60lbs in less than a month, with a cold. 75lbs to go 'till my Christmas goal... wondering if I'll need to aim higher.
Nonetheless, I rewarded myself for my hard work:

Six chicken tenders
Two eggs
One onion
One large red bell pepper
Four mini sweet peppers
One skinless sweet potato
One entire head of broccoli.



This volume of food was almost as hard to eat as the workout was to do.

I got down to 215 last week but I ate like **** this weekend since the family was up and kinda ruined all of that...

time to get back into this now that the wedding is all over. let's see what i can do today at the gym.

[SilvaMan61]

I broke through that wall. Lost weight for two weeks in a row now. Down to 264 on Friday. 32lbs total so far. Sadly thats not even half way there.

[Bio248]

btw, weighed in for fun the other day and im still rocking in the 220s at 227 pounds. yay.

not really focused on weight loss anymore, time to beef up a little and get more 'in shape'.

^start taking creatine

[Kolton Lock]

Done that for more than a month already lol

[SilvaMan61]

It's not about creatine. What you should do to bulk up is calculate your TDEE then eat at a surplus while lifting heavy. You'll put some good weight on.

[SlowNA06]

^start taking creatine

Meh, creatine's not necessary. Food is. Maybe look into the GOMAD diet for a bit, if you're not lactose intolerant, with heavy, heavy things if you're looking for teh bigness.

[Kolton Lock]

I eat around 5000 calories in 6 meals a day lol
The forcing to eat so much extra is so tough lol

[blakgtp]

creatine is no magic formula. but it helps. for someone who is older or has a heavier bodyweight it is less appealing. but for someone like kolton, it will help. obviously your main diet is far more important. not gonna argue with that one

Went to gym today at 5 and the place was a ghost town. Can any one recommend a brand for preteen powder? I was looking at trying it out.

Highly suggest Elite Gourmet by Dymatize. Mixes perfectly with simple shaking. You can pick it up for a good price still.

Dymatize® Nutrition Elite™ Gourmet Protein - Cookies and Cream - DYMATIZE - GNC

That or ON gold standard.

That's $20 more than ONGS. Aside from taste and mixability (neither matter much to me), why do you prefer it?

Edit: Disregard, it's only $42 shipped at allstarhealth.

Uh, gross. But if you mean protein powder, then I suggest Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Double Chocolate. $55 shipped from allstarhealth.com. Cheapest blended protein low carb powder I could find. It just isn't awesome with water... I suggest milk/almond/coconut/whatever.

Did anyone else crack up that his phone's autospelling picked up preteen? We know what you've been doing on your phone...

[SlowNA06]

Use monohydrate. It's cheap and works. Optimum Nutrition's cheap, mixes better than GNC.
