Who all here is a gym rat? I know I'm one. I figured it'd be good to have a thread where we can talk about workouts, supplements, food, etc.
I am something like a gym rat....gym has has 3 letters and bar has 3 letters and I do 22 ounce curls quite religiously. Good 3 to 4 hour workout 2 to 3 times a week and I am a happy camper. Always workout on the weekends..........
Todd you sir are a beast! I could totally see the Bandy Gym of Drinking! That could be very profitable. Gotta carry a line of custom shorts though
I've been lifting for the past 5 years real heavy.I've prob tried almost every supplement out there. Don't take anything crazy now just some whey here and there. Have any of you guys tried crossfit? I've been doing a navy seal type crossfit. The website is sealgrinderpt.com they are about an hour or so everyday. I've had some great results. And my cardio has shot they the roof. All the workouts are different so you don't get bored. I wasn't sold at first but have been doing it for about 3 months and have noticed a huge difference. Always sore the next day. It's a great feeling the day after a hard training session.
I am going to have to check this out. I am getting real bored with p90x. I cant wait till summer so i can just swim laps in the pool. today i did an ab routine and plan in going on a hike with my girlfriend. It is gourgous today and we both have the day off so i cant be wasting my time working out inside .
Man I really tried to get into crossfit but couldn't. That sealgrinder one though looks like it's up my alley. Gonna have to give it a try. Thanks brother!
me sir. i love working out (mainly lifting weights and doing cardio). reduces stress. makes me have a bigger appetite. it's all good haha
Yeah man I love the ridiculous appetite I get. Although at times it can be a real PITA lol
haha for sure. have you experimented with whey protein? i mainly just do whey protein, fish oil pills, and multivitamin (from GNC to be more specific). i cycled off of whey for about 2 months (after using it for about 2 months) to see if it really makes a difference. it didnt... still lifted the same weights, had the same stamina. just felt less..... gassy hahah
I have. I have found that for me the natural whey protein does wonders for helping my body recover from a hard workout. I usually feel like I'm about to die when I get done in the gym and my post workout shake always picks me back up.
Man this topic took off quick. I am training for a tough mudder in late summer. I have been eyeing some supplements on line and was wondering if anyone has had any luck with Hyper shred or Oxy Elite pro? I have recently got back into lifting heavier. I was just doing cardio for a while but that gets boring and with the events in tough mudder I will have to at least have some strength built up.
oxyelite pro is a supper nice fat burner It will make you fill the jitters for a while though. You pretty much cant in any other sources of caffine if you take it. IF you eat right with it you will get some good results. I would not recommend it for strength training though.

Oxy elite pro is a good fat burner. If your stim sensitive stay with one pill they only have 100 grams of caffeine but there potent and it does what it says.
No problem Enfidl. I've only seen one where I didn't even attempt to do it. It was a 3 mile run 300 pull ups, 600 push ups and 900 body weight squats and another 3 mile run. It would've taken me forever to do those pull ups.
Ive been serious about my workout since graduating from college. Last summer went to Jamaica and have not been able to get back as serious as I once was. I go two to three times a week were before I lived in the gym. I'm starting the biggest loser cause I need somthing to get me back and focused. My favorite sup at the moment in animal rage it give me the best workout I have to drag mysel out of the gym.
I have only been serious about the gym for a little over a year now and i love it. Right now for supplements i take Amino Energy for a pre-work out with M-Stak. With lunch and dinner Orange Triad for a multi and CLA. For shakes i use O.N. Hydro whey for off days and Hydro builder on workout days. Also before bed i take ZMA which i find helps me sleep better and recover.

I use to use the amino enrgy too but then i figured i took in so much protein that i could probly cut it out. Cla and fish oils are always good totake.

I feel ya there man. Whenever I'm lifting after work I'm almost always dead before I get there. A lil pick me up helps for a great work out.
Ok so trying out the new supps. I love em! Battle Fuel + Assault had ready to tear the gym apart and I can honestly say it was my best lifting session in years. Combat is a great overnight protein. Great flavor and filling enough to know that I was good but it wasn't overly to the point where it felt like I was stuffed. And the opti-men multi is fantastic as well. This stuff with all my regular stuff, on natural whey, probiotics, fish oil and echinecea complex is so far a great stack for me. Here's to hoping that it continues to be great
Assault is awesome. I love that stuff. I was taking jacked till they changed the ingredients and made it Jackie 3d. Gives me nasty headaches now. That reminds me. I've been off it for a while. Guess I'll be putting an order in today.
i haven not been able to get a good work out in the past weak i cant wait till the semester is over so i can good a good solid 3 months of hitting the gym. Might get a chance to play raquet ball after class tonight.

Pretty stoked about it. Thanks guys!
Been working out since I was about 13, if count playing basketball in high school. I remember at one point when I was 20 I weighed 168 lbs! Fast forward 10 years and I topped out at 248, after a few years of pretty serious lifting. I haven't maintained it, though, but I'm still around 210 and pretty fit. I do a lot of stuff and go through phases, from cross-fit type stuff, lifting, playing basketball, etc. I ran, too, for a few years, did a few marathons and a couple of ultras up to 50 miles. All natural, too, all I take is a multi-vitamin when I can remember to take it. My nutrition is pretty dialed in.
