Creatine helps you bang out those extra 2 or 3 reps that you normally would have failed on already. This adds to your workout so essentially you are getting a long term effect from it. However you do lose some size after you stop taking in because your muscles are not holding as much water. You normaly dont see much of a strength decrease though. So not true. Yes, there are a ton of supps out there that use the placebo affect but there are a lot of good ones out there as well. I have tried so many supps that its not even funny. When I first got in to working out, I was supp crazy. I was spending like 600-700 a month on supps. I fell for a lot of the gimmicks out there because I did not have anyone to tell me any different. There are a lot of supps out there that do work and a lot that dont. You just have to get advise from a reliable source. Don't listen to the salesman at GNC. Also there area ton of pre workout supps that dont cause you to crash. I feel jacked for about the first half of my workout but I am able to maintain the intensity through my entire workout and I dont get a crash. No sometimes if I have a harcore training session, I will feel exhauseted afterwards but that is the training more than anything I think. This is a good supp regime. I honestly think MP has some of the best supps. I have switched almost everything to MP and I feel they are the best brand across the board for effective supps.

This is full of awesome.

I want Colt 45 because.

As others have said your diet is gonna be the #1 thing with any kind of workout. Nothing will help you more than your diet. A pre workout supp will help you get through long or really tough workouts and a lot of them have NO in them which gives you a really nice pump while working out. I usually take a single serving of my pre workout about 15 min before going to the gym. I also drink a cup of coffee about an houre before my workouts. This is like a double serving. Creatine is absolutely one of the most important supps outside of protein. Here is a breakdown from Bodybuilding.com So what does creatine do? 1. Provide additional energy for your muscles Time for a quick and simple biology lesson. In your body you have a compound called ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate). Think of ATP as an energy containing compound. What is important to know about ATP is that the body can very quickly get energy from a ATP reaction. You have other sources of energy such as carbohydrates and fat - but they take longer to convert into a useable energy source. When you are doing an intense quick burst activity - such as lifting a weight or sprinting, your muscles must contract and need a quick source of energy. This immediate energy comes from ATP. Okay - still with us? Here is where it gets interesting. When your muscles use ATP for energy a chemical process happens where the ATP is broken down into two simpler chemicals ADP (adenosine di-phosphate) and inorganic phosphate. This process of ATP turning into ADP releases the energy which gives your muscles the ability to contract. Unfortunately, we do not have an endless supply of ATP. In fact, your muscles only contain enough ATP to last about 10-15 seconds at maximum exertion. In case you were wondering - no, the ADP can not be used to create more energy for your muscles. Here is where the creatine comes in - or more specifically the creatine phosphate (CP). We don't want to go into great detail on creatine vs. creatine phosphate now (that is in a later article) - all you need to know now is that the majority of creatine that is stored in the muscles bonds with abundant phosphorus stores in the muscles and is converted into Creatine Phosphate (CP). CP is able to react with the ADP in your body and turn "useless" ADP back into the "super useful" energy source - ATP. More ATP in your body means more fuel for your muscles. 2. Volumization of your muscles Looks like we just made up that word -Volumization - doesn't it? Actually, it's just a fancy name for the process of pulling fluid into the muscle cells and thus increasing the volume of the muscles. Creatine has been shown to pull water into your muscle cells, which increases the size of your muscles. Don't get to excited - it is not clear how great an effect this has. Point #1 is a much clearer benefit of creatine. 3. Buffer Lactic Acid build-up New research has shown that creatine can help buffer lactic acid that builds-up in the muscles during exercise. This leads to that nasty burning feel you get in your muscles. Scientifically it is a complicated process - basically the creatine bonds with a Hydrogen ion and that helps delay the build up of lactic acid. More research needs to be done to see if this point is true. 4. Enhances Protein Synthesis There is some data to indicate that creatine helps put the body in a more anabolic state where protein synthesis can occur. The more protein synthesis - the greater the muscle gain. Well - there you have what creatine does in a very simplified nutshell. Of all 4 points - point #1 is the most use of creatine in the body. The other points are more debated - but still look to be valid. * Is the 120 grams of creatine in my body enough? Maybe. The whole idea behind taking creatine as supplement is that if you workout you burn-up a lot of creatine. If you take a creatine supplement you will have more energy - because the ATP energy cycle can go on for a longer time. We go into supplementation in another article - but here is the quick run down. Unfortunately your muscle's creatine supply is not limitless. The average human has between 3.5 and 4 grams of creatine per kilogram of muscle. Once you use up the creatine in your muscle you have to rest your muscles and wait a while before you can exercise the muscle again. Studies have shown that the human muscle can store up to 5 grams of creatine per kilogram. So, by taking a creatine supplement you can raise your levels from 3.5 to 5 grams of creatine - and thus enjoy more of the benefits of creatine. * What happens to creatine that is not used by the body? Excess creatine is eventually converted into the waste product creatinine and excreted from the body.

I was hoping for more. I thought the car wreck was kinda silly. Made me regret turning off Drag Racing. I hope the rest of the season gets better. The best part was that walker arm falling out of the back of the pickup and the blonde chick jumping out and picking it back up.

Got a dinner date with the wifey at Fishermans Wharf. I am at work tonight so thats gonna be out Valentines Day.

Good so far. I started week 5 of my 12 week cycle on Saturday. Assault isnt caffeine based so much. The Shred is the only thing with a lot of caffeine in it. They are stackable and is one of the reasons I stopped the C4 when I did. Old school No shit. I was scared to death of getting bitch tits when I was on test boosters. Instead my wife got pregnant. I did feel like I could lift the roof off the gym every time I worked out though. Shit was awesome. I was dissapointed when I stopped taking it and I could not go as heavy.

+1 on the c4. I still have a half tub left. This stuff works really good also. I stopped taking it to try the MP Assault. Musclepharm stuff is at the top of the price category. I took celltech last year and all it did was make me bloated and sick to my stomach. Does the Halo do that to you?

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/kris-gethin-12-week-daily-trainer.html Not necesarily true. Yes creatine adds some water weight but it does not add mass in itself. Creatine allows your muscles to retain water. There is a little more to it than that but that is the quick explanation

Here is what I take. I am doing the same thing that you are. I am on a pretty hard core diet as well. Over the years I have experimented with a lot of supps and I am really diggin the Muscle Pharm stuff right now. Opti Men - Multi Now- Fish oil 2000mg a day Muscle Pharm Combat Powder - Protein powder Muscle Pharm Assault - Pre workout as well as 2.5g of Con Crete Creatine Muscle Pharm Creatine - I add another 2.5 grams in my post wo protein shake. This gives me a total of 5g a day Muscle Pharm Shred Matrix - This is their fat loss system Xtend - BCAA's I am on some other stuff as well but here are the main things that I am really liking. Here are my other supps Carbo Gain - My post w/o carbs L-Carnitine 2g per day Glutamine 4g in addition to whats in my BCAA's Muscle Pharm Zmax - basicly a sleeping pill that promotes recovery Muscle Pharm CLA- Basicly just as acid that help break down the nutrients in your food Now Green tea extract - 400mg a day The only reason I am so supp crazy right now is because I am on a 12 week program and I am trying to get the most out of it. Once I am done with this program then I will cut everything except for my multi, fish oil and protein.

Yes my English Bulldog will be 6 in May. We have had him since he was 3 months old. Original Price 2400 3 eye surgeries at 750.00 a piece Constant tail infections that require meds and vet visits. One of the defects of the breed. Not all are afected but many have this problem. They say the only way to prevent this from happening is a 2,800.00 surgery. My dog does not have any breathing issues though. I have been a Boxer owner my whole life and this is my first Bulldog. I can tell you that Bulldogs are an awesome breed. Mine is the most friendly, laid back mild mannered dog that I have ever owned. He is my 1 year olds best friend. However he goes ape shit if he even hears another dog. Most of my other dogs have been pretty maintenance free. A yearly visit to the vet and thats it. http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg203/jallen_100/IMG_3093.jpg

Yeah they are great dogs but they are very expensive. Mine has been the most expensive dog I have ever purchased and has required more care than any dog I have ever owned.

LIAR

Yeah I work till 12 and i was out usually shortly after work. I seen the sig. Your v6 has limited potential kinda like you. Hell the 5.3 in my Yukon has more potential that that. Maybe I'll put that in the VW :grin2:

Its crazy how they automaticaly blame the dog and his owner. That is one dumb bitch.

I was out at several meets this year and did not see you once. I told ya the LT1 is gone. I am just down to the VW and Yukon now. Not sure what route I am gonna take now but it will probably involve and LSX Jones Rape at some point. P.S. I HATE YOU

I dont come out because Phil is a Parking Lot Raper.

Troll On

Half way through it now and I would have to say it OK at best so far. The cinematography is cool but the small amount of dialog and just starring and smiling kinda sucks.

Nice find man.

Dry them on the lowest setting and they wont shrink as much.

I got my first one when I was 16 and my parents hit the roof. Times have changed a lot since 1992 though and tats are a lot more accepted. My son just turned 16 in Dec and he asked me if I would let him get one. I sais sure if he brought his grades up. He has a lot of friends that have them and I agree with a small one at that age but doing a whole back piece or sleeve is just to much at that age. While it would be his decision, I would have some buy in on what he got and it would not be a large one or in a place that is in plain site. I have mine in plain site but I made that decision once I was much older and could deal with any fallout with an employeer or what have you.

Very true. He did used to try and tell me how stupid it was to have a sand bed and that I will be calling him up when it went foul.

Thats sad to hear. Its been a couple of years since I took my tank down so I am out of the loop a little,

I used to know a guy who robbed them years ago. You all may remember it from like the mid 90's. They cut the alarm wires and got away clean with a crap ton of guns. He got caugt up in a sting selling one of the guns and went to the pokey for like 18 months.
