FRS for a boost, I am am pretty worn out by the time I hit the gym. I've tried Thermogenics, 5 hour energy, low carb monster.. the thermogenics work well but I soak through my shirt.
If you don't do this every time you're at the gym, there's a good chance you're doing it wrong. Some of us are just sweaty, though. I sweat hard half way through my warm-up without thermogenics. Shirt's usually soaked and weighing 10lbs half way through my workout.Quote:

Got a plan.. my tonsils swelled and are draining me. I'm going to do my best to have them taken out. The week or so that you can't eat, should give me a jumpstart on the 20 lbs I'd like to lose
It's more of an "ugh where is my couch" type of feeling. Lack of motivation I guess. I still push myself to go every day and about 5-10 minutes into cardio warm up I breakthrough that barrier.Quote:

I was an awesome 169lbs but with more lifting and training I am up to 183. Also... Extra skin ftl
I never sweat lifting weights and I push mys elf hard. I went from curling 25's to curling 40's in a little over a month
same with me i don't do much cardio..just a lot of free weights/machines.Quote:

went from curling 20s to 50s....in 3 years LOL
Cleans>curls. Wouldn't know what I curl. Nothing wrong with cardio, except that most people do boring/harmful stuff, like elipticals. "Fun" cardio: Move a stack of 5 45lb plates from one side of the gym to the other as fast as you can 10 times.
It's all your own pace man. Lol no worries.Quote:

I was just gonna chime in and say ya cleans are very stressful on your lower back as well as squatting, deadlifting etc... I wouldn't recomend cleans unless you have absolutely perfect form and know what your doing.
That's $5000 and does everything the ground does, which is free. I'm confused. :th_tongue2:Quote:

The golden rule of lifting is to keep the lower back arched and head neutral (not looking at floor or ceiling (unless bench pressing)) with the knees pointed over the feet. If you can manage that simple feat, you can do everything without injury. The rest is refinement by experience and experiment on natural motions.Quote:

Here are the locations in Topeka that may be of use to you :)

GNC charges about twice as much as anyone else for anything, though they will price match. I wouldn't bother with straight protein powder, I use shake. Optimum Nutrtition Gold Standard is $50/5lbs at allstarhealth.com.Quote:

I get my caffiene pills from Walmart. Generic brand. Never bothered trying to find a lower price since I only really use them when I need to be awake for days on end and Walmart is cheap enough.
Swanson might be your cheapest green tea, too. I'd start there for chromium, as well. That's the cheapest place I know of for pills of any kind. It's a good idea to also check out amazon.com, since there's a lot of great deals there.
