Just an FYI:

For all supplements BESIDES whey protein, I recommend dpsnutrition.com over bodybuilding.com.

For whey protein, Amazon frequently has an optimum nutrition whey for a really great price via their subscribe and save program. Simply purchase the whey with the subscribe and save, and cancel right afterwards .

I picked up my last 5lb tub of whey for $20 shipped off Amazon using this method.

Oh and White Flood is awesome, even though it does taste like shit lol. Most products by Controlled Labs is top notch. I highly recommend their Green Magnitude.

Quick question for you guys, when do you take your creatine?

Before? After? Both?

I've read immediately after workouts and morning after workout days.

I gagged for the first time today when taking WF before my workout.
I guess I didn't stir well enough, and there was a good bit settled at the bottom of the glass, and when I took that last swig...

That shit is NAS-TAY but it's worth it imo.

Ordered a new tub of ON Extreme Milk Chocolate protein.
Ran out about a week or so ago.


Also ordered a tub of Green MAGnitude. Been off creatine for a 1-1.5 months now, so I decided it's time to get back on. Heard good things about Green MAGnitude and Controlled Labs in general. I'm on WF right now and love it.

Creatine wise, I was using Cellmass before. Meh.

So, I'm currently taking only one scoop of White Flood 2-3 times a week and I'm considering OxyElite Pro, which I would only take 1 capsule a day. I would only take them for the next 30 days, then cycle off for 30 days, ect...

I would take these products in conjunction with my current daily Protein, Glutamine, Creatine, Glucosamine and Chondroitin doses.

My question is, are products like White Flood or OEP going to mess up my kidney? Even at those reduced dosages? I drink more than a gallon of water a day, but I only have one kidney, so I can't really take my chances...

Thoughts?

Not sure if it has any better/less effective results, but I've read you could do that.




On that note, I started using Green Magnitude 2 days ago after being off creatine for a month and a half or so. I can't exactly speak on performance of it being that I've only had it for a couple days, but the taste is SO much better than white flood (not replacing WF with GM...just speaking on taste). I honestly think it tastes like koolaid.

Since I do half before, half after workout, I mix it in with White Flood and it makes it much more bearable. White Flood by itself is , but the effects of it are worth it.

Would bb.com be the best place to order a few of these supplements to save on shipping or are there better online stores?

I'll look into the Amazon prime. Reason I ask is because I'm looking to get about four items and I'd hate to pay $5+ through each supplier for shipping alone.

edit: Maybe I can sign up and cancel after my order ships?

Yea.
They have a month trial period.
After that I think its 70 or 80 bucks a year. Sounds kind of steep but I'm always ordered stuff from amazon, so it's worth it to me. Free 2nd day shipping, and I think $2 extra if you want it next day.

I order all of my supplements from Amazon w/ Prime.
If you buy 10 or more items from Amazon a year, it's worth it. I'll usually pick up an item or two each month off Amazon, soo...

bb.com is usually pretty good. They should extremely fast. And usually they throw in free supp samples too, and thats on top of the free gifts you will receive with a certain order amount.

Coupon code comeback10percent takes of 10% of your totally order, so thats kind of like free shipping.

Tried NO Vapor last weekend as a sample. Was terrible. No focus, no motivation, no pump, nothing. My buddy took it with me and he had the best benching day in a while. NOShotgun is still my NO product of choice.

I have samples of Hemo Rage and Expand. Will try them some day when I feel like not having a good work out. lol

Personally i took your advice a while back and tryed NOshotgun and could'nt stand it. Took the whole tub, I don't know if its because i've been taking NO xplode off and on for a few years or what, but that stuff did nothing for me. I'm stickin with NO xplode.

Go with whatever works for you man.

1.I took SP250 and loved it! but gave me gas.....my buddy didnt have gas at all

2. My buddy and I took NOvapor the same day and did the same routine. I didnt feel shit...he maxed out and hit his numbers.

You just have to find what works for you cause every body is different.

I'm in love with my supplements. I've always put on muscle easy but at 33, I'm putting on muscle and losing fat quicker than ever. I have a great workout plan which I'm sure is 90% of the gains. I have a bowflex at home for the days I can't make it to the gym. I choose to do physical work at work when I'm supposed to contract it out.

- Muscle Milk chocolate mint flavor, I substitute breakfast and lunch with it. Dinner is whatever I want.

- Beef liver pills

- Creatine Mono- Sticking to the tried and true.

- Fish oil and Milk Thistle for heart and liver health.

- Anavar 20mg/day

- Nitrix mostly for lowering my blood pressure which it does extremely well. I naturally go crazy during workouts so I don't want or need all of the energy and caffiene stuff. The Nitrix helps to sort of calm me down during workouts.

I stay away from "uppers" like caffiene and ephedera as they seem to cause a loss in performance.

I dose everything pretty low, I don't like putting tons of extra "stuff" in my body.

So the only substance you eat during the day is at dinner?
I'm no dietitian, but I can't imagine any circumstance where that's good for you. Or at the very least, your best option.

It's not that bad for cutting. The Muscle Milk is very balanced and I get 600 clean calories from it. Plus a few more if I mix it with half milk half water. The one meal a day I eat can be 1,400 calories and I'm still at a good deficet. I'm never hungry at all and I'm still actually adding muscle.

My old routine was to bulk and then cut for summer with 600 calories a day. It worked but it was hell and I lost some muscle with it. With this new plan my strength is still going up and my bodyfat is disappearing. Size is hard to tell. It looks like I'm getting bigger but losing bodyfat will do that too.

Just Purple Wraath. Should be here Wed I think.

Heard some fairly good reviews about it, so thought I would give it a try. Already fairly pleased with White Flood and Green Magnitude, so I can't see any negative from trying another CL product.
