    Actually as you know im not a big fan of supplments. But im been forcing myself to drink a protein shake after each workout of which iv been 3 times this week so far. Im just making sure i get the right carbs and tons of proteins. Only problem is makes you gassy as ****. Some of my farts have been vicious. :D

    I lift weights but no longer box as my ankle is pretty much ****ed, tried the physio and alternative route the last quack i saw was pretty honest and told me to stop wasting my money as even with surgery it'll be no better than 80% of what it was.

    Swim 2 to 3 times a week now for cardio because i can't run any impact on the foot causes it to swell and i lose 10 degrees of movement in the foot for days on end

    Do you eat a lot of protein? I eat cruciferous veggies almost daily as well but I never have gas problems.

    Well below what they recommend. And yet, I'm pretty muscular:think I don't believe the hype anymore thats for sure.

    I have articles that I am posting tonight on my sticky how prisoners get in fantastic shape with the little that they have and mainly bodyweight stuff. Don't get too excited, they use weights as well;).:thumbsup

    Some of the supplements being sold are downright ridiculous. The amount of protein recommended by loads of these brands would make a 300 pound bodybuilder fart.

    I'm working on something as well, inspired by the animal kingdom. I'm studying mountain lions, they get in awesome shape doing nothing but jumping, climbing, sprinting and fighting, all specific to their "sport". And they take no supplements, at all! They eat those horrible saturated fats in enormous amounts, yet have no clogged arteries. No predigested protein shakes, no patented artificial vitamins and minerals. And what's even more amazing perhaps is that they all seem to have great athletic capabilities, genes seem to be less important for non-humans :smoke

    Amazing creatures :hey

    Indeed Remmy, indeed. I will also be starting my training log and goals when i add the mostly bodyweight routines i am coming across. I won't lie though, I still take supps such as creatine, BCAA's, fish Oil and multi vitamins because of the beastly amount I am doing and goals i am shooting for.

    Huge thumbs up on how clean your keeping the training section and we are getting some knowledgable posters for sure.
