    try this next:

    BCAAs are legit but there are really only a couple to supplement with and ideally, you'd not mix them all together and take in a fasting state.

    specifically: D-Aspartic & L-Leucine

    all the benefits on that list in the link I can attest to---including #3 :cool:

    Well it's not going to be "packed" with protein, if it's just bananas, milk, water, and PB. It'll mostly be sugar and some carbs. I'd buy some protein powder to really make it more filling.

    As for PB, it's fine, but almond butter is a better source of good fat, since it's an actual nut. Peanuts are technically legumes. I think almond butter tastes better too. It does cost more though.

    Anybody tried Noxivol? Its great, even at the fraction of the daily dosage I am taking. Even though it is supposed to be like all the other NO supplements with L-Arginine AKG, this stuff works SO much better. Absorption is probably much better.

    Also, I have a question. I used to work out a lot and got kind of a bulky stocky frame which I didn't like. I stopped working out and did mostly cardio for over a year, and am too lanky now. I've tried doing both intense Cardio and Lifting but can't seem to get that balanced cut look. When I combine the cardio I just don't put on the muscle mass and one of my friends told me that I have to limit my cardio to like once or twice a week and lift for most of the week to get the results I want. What would you guys recommend? I'm about 5'10" and 153 lbs atm.

    Don't want to get to get too muscular, but don't want to be on skinnier side either. 3 sets with 10 reps of a particular exercise ok for this also?

    You may just have to do trial and error, for some people twice a week can work...how much and what kind of cardio did you do?

    I would recommend doing a lot of bodyweight exercises. Everyone's body is different so what you want yours to appear as might not be how it actually it pans out. I can put on bulkier looking muscles easier than lean. :(

    I've taken that stuff before-like 3/4 years back. I just looked it up and think I must have taken an older formula. The one I took contained D-Aspartic acid.

    Stuff was very legit but realized it was the D-Aspartic acid that made that formula so good. Hence my post in earlier on this page.

    Looks like you could stack the Noxitest with the Noxivol and it would be their older formula.

    Thanks a ton for that link. I have several friends that are going to the gym. I'm going to see if we can all do this.

    I switched up of late to Chest/Bi's and Back/Tri's.

    I always used to do Chest/Tri's and Back/Bi's. I am not really sure which one is more effective.

    don't really get that logic, an accessory to bp would be any sort of tricep excercise given its a push and bp works the tricep, by the same token if you're doing back w/a supinated grip that works biceps as well

    I understand that. I just decided to switch it up for a bit to see if it makes a difference.

    I know and I have seen a lot of guys do the Chest/Bi, Back/Tri routine.

    The one advantage is that you can hit each muscle group hard and to the max. When you do Chest, you're not using Bi's and similarly when you hit back, tri's are not used.

    Shoulders and traps are a must exercise for aesthetics. Make sure you add those.


    Day 1. L pull ups too infinity.
    Day 2. Decline and incline bench, military press, lateral raises, shrugs, biceps and triceps. Usually about 3x10 then pyramid down.

    Day 2 is a lot but to me not of those muscles overlapped to where I can hit the best. Why did I stagger it so close and so much? Be cause i rest 2 days and do it again.

    I have a day in itself for shoulders and traps. My usual routine:

    Mon: Chest/Tri
    Tues: Glutes, hamstrings, light calves/Abs
    Wed: Back / Bi
    Thur: Rest
    Fri: SHoulders/Traps
    Sat: Quads, heavy calves, abs
    Sun: Rest

    Throw in 10 min of cardio after the lifts on Mon, Wed and Fri
