Yeah that always sucks. Once you get the pro-card you have to hustle your butt on the pro-circuit. Good luck! how tall are you? around 5' 10"?

Missouri Naturals (hopefully take 1st and earn the pro-card to move to professional status)

I should be the biggest natural there at my height and weight class unless someone that I don't know POPS UP OUT of NOWHERE (That really sucks btw )

I bulked up to 237.7lbs this year, hopeful to be around 200lbs at the competing BF%

Thinking about Ohio Natural as well, but that might be as far east this year.

I've been blinded by those recognitions awarded by the bodybuilding.com to that product!

Really creatine is creatine, and the micronized stuff is more purely concentrated so any of those generic brand names will work. I have used a 2lb tub micronized creatine from the Higher Powered brand name for years with great results.

Cool! Glad it works well on you. Might try it too if budget permits. Damn these Hot Toys drying me up haha! Anyway, thanks for advice!

Creatine is prolly the best supplement on the market, especially when you combine with Aminos. my first round of creatine, I put on 30lbs in 6 months. ya just gotta pay attention to joint and tendon movements as you go up in weight and make sure you prep them for the increase.

Oh I see. Nice! 30lbs? That's a lot of difference. Good for you. Will definitely take this one. Thanks!

Nah, keep the wrist as is whenever doing a regular curl but do not pull the weight with the hands. As a matter of fact keep the wrist almost lowered while holding the weights and that almost insures that you aren't lifting with the wrist/forearms.

It's hard to explain without being there.

No, no, that makes perfect sense, hombre!

I'll send you a pic here, of how I hold a barbell or dumbbell

As soon as it uploads from my phone

Flosi, like this:

Awesome! That was exactly how I was seeing it in my head. I'll let you know how it goes after I lift in an hour... assuming I can lift my arms to type after.

Yup, with your wrist position this way, ALL of the BRUTE is on that bicep. Therefore neutralizing the wrist, palms, forearms and whatever else you might use that is NOT the bicep

If you find that it hurts, stick with it, maybe lesson the weight a bit. You won't be going powerhouse by this type of technique, you aren't suppose to but you will notice the bi's increasing in width/size. Wide grip will give you more thickness and the inner grips is more the outer head of the bicep whenever lifting with a barbell.

Hello everyone. I recently got P90x. I haven't started it yet and I'm kind of confused by the nutrition aspect of it. I was wondering if someone who has done it can help me out. For instance, it says to consume certain amounts of Protein, carbs, dairy, ect. a day and tells you how many calories to consume. It also gives a suggestion of foods to eat as well.

My question comes in the part where it tells me about the calories and servings. For example it says a serving of protein needs to be 100 calories but many of the foods they suggest list the calorie amount as less than it says I should be taking in. So if one of my protein servings is supposed to be 100 calories but the ham or chicken serving on the package is less than 100 calories per serving I'd have to have more than one serving to meet the calorie amount the guide says should be in the serving.

So do I up the amount of food I take in to meet the calorie amount even if it means I'm having more servings than it says to have or do I stick to the serving size the packages say regardless of the calories I'm supposed to be getting.

I'm confused. I want to do this right and don't want to do weeks of this fitness routine if I'm botching it up by not eating the way I'm supposed to be.

THX-182, I haven't done P90X but it's the basic same thing as "nutrition" with a name slapped on it with "high intense weight training and cardio". That's ALL it is.... Just someone patend it and labeled it.

What is the main goal here, to lose fat or gain muscle, I know this program is suppose to build lean muscle mass while trimming down at the same time but what is your overal main goal?

 

[THX-182]

I'd say the main goal is to just get to a healthy state. So lose fat. All in all I want to lose excess weight, gain a bit of muscle and just have more energy. I don't need to end up looking like The Ultimate Warrior or anything. Just a normal dude.

I getcha.

Then if the servings are under the restricted calorie intake that can only help you out even more. It's a cals in vs cals out game. No matter what shape size or form it is... If you are burning more than you are intaking, you will lose weight. I would say stick with whatever they are calling for and you should be fine.

The main factor here is consistency, you really only have to do 90% and don't get to where everything needs to be measured out, etc... then you are wanting to become "The Ultimate Warrior". As long as your body is getting the right foods it will be directed in the right direction, it's only whenever we cheat and intake items with sodium, saturated fats, bad carbs that turns into more fat and shoots are insulin through the roof hence signaling the brain/body to store more fat is where we go wrong. Even a cheat here and there depending on the person can be accepted easily. Just keep on the diet plan and remain consistent and it should all fall into place. Easier said than done right, that's why it's hard whenever we've been eating the wrong foods for such a long time, it's hard to break those habits. Just wait til you've been eating REALLY healthy for a number of months/years and then eat that greasy fried chicken with pounds of gravy sandwhich from KFC and see how you feel

 

[THX-182]

Although I wouldn't mind eventually looking like The Ultimate Warrior.

I'd even settle for looking like Rick Rude.
