Sore

Amen!

By the way, be careful with the creatine and a high protein diet. Creatine doesn't desolve all the way- I know this 1st hand. A few years back, I decided I would try the 'EAS' program. 8 months later I ended up with a kidney stone. The doctor told me he had seen an increase in stones from people doing creatine (or creatine based products) and high protein. I cant stress 'cycling creatine' enough.

Creatine is a raw extract in meat right?  I know it makes you "blow up" and retain water in your muscles, I think, but I don't know why. As far as protien, your body can only digest so much protien at once and any more you just lose when you go to the bathroom right? So, what's the right amount of protien then, where you are not going to run into things like Kidney Stones, ect.?  Also, why does protien make you crap alot? I mean, when you first start taking in more protien than your body is use to, why does it make you go to the bathroom so much more?

Note:  I'm not trying to be gross, or an ass.  I'm actually being serious on this.  There has to be a legitimate answer.

Also, I've heard that if you start taking in lots of protien, and creatine, ect., and you stop, you will start losing mass, even though you continue to work out even at a more "aggressive" rate.

And is it true, that to build mass, heavier weight and less repitions?



Sory, there are tons of contradicting statements out there on this.  I personally believe it has more to do with genetics than anything...

LOL.. ever seen those Oriental Spa's off the e-way  ;D  

Twenty Dolla Sucky Sucky
Fifty Dolla Me Love U Long Time

 ;D :P :-X

Don't know about them, but I'll tell ya.  You cross that center 'volcano' jet when it's on high and water will definitely go in the out door...

Instead of working out, I just decided to deal with the pain...

When I first looked at that picture I was really confused.  

Then I decided that it must be some type of protective cup?!?!   But I thought again....  that would be awfully uncomfortable with the square shaped edges and all - it would be much more comfortable if it had more of a wedge or pear shape to it.  

But then again, I know some guys are really into pain........  so maybe it would work for some people!

The way it was explained to me prior to taking creatine was that it helps expedite muscle repair/recovery. Most of the stone had desolved before exiting but what was left was basically protein. I would highly recommend research before you ingest.

Look at the recent statistics out on high fructose corn syrup and it's link to obesity. Ever read the ingredients on the majority of the processed products people buy.  :o  

Corner, have you tried tigerbalm? Good stuff ;D I spoke to my trainer and he said you should at least do something. Granted on a lesser level. Yes, you will be sore with alot of muscle stiffness. He said just do the movement without the weight. (since you might feel silly doing this at the gym, just do it at home)

I think everyone has done legs to the point of excruciating pain when trying to sit  but if you recall, each time you simulated the movement ie: sitting at a desk, car, couch, and yes the reading room, the pain was less.

Thanks.  I'm not worried about how I'd appear in the gym with no weight.  Hell, what do you think I looked like having a hard time doing curls with 20 lb. dumbells  :(

Everybody has to start somewhere.  ;)

Actually, down here in S FL a good majority of people are into functional fitness. Although, you can still spot the guy whose arms are always at a 45 degree angle and has more of a waddle than a walk. ;D

I heard Lance Armstrong is on a high carb, high protien diet. But what does he know about being in shape? :)
