and also, to lose fat, you have to have some cardio. you need it to burn it off. i say 2 miles or so a day (or work up to it if you cant get there yet) and you'll be burning it off.
I've dropped weight plenty times from diet alone. It depends on whether I'm trying to actually get in shape or quickly look in shape.

Only my friends but I've seen the amazing results. They seem to always have something and there's always an online store to order from. It's expensive as hell and it doesn't blow you up like other ones. Unfortunately anavar seems to be the gateway steroid. Most who started with that have moved on to much harsher steroids. If I had no plans to ever compete again and was only going for looks for myself I may consider it for an easier way to achieve my goal. Being that I'll probably do more powerlifting comps I can't in good conscience ever try a roid.

It was a much cleaner feeling, smooth transition and slow dropoff. NO is like getting a kick in the ass for about a 1/2 hour then it dies off. SP250 stayed with me and kept me focus and motivated for about 2 hours.

I just bought some natures made triple flex (glucosamine, chondroitin & msm)
hopefully it'll help with my knees, I stand alot at work and the leg workouts have been making them feel funny/hurt. Also my elbows sometimes when working my triceps

i'll have to try SP250 sometime. I still prefer Presurge by AEN. I get great pumps from that, i also like it because it comes in capsules instead of powder.

i will not be buying SP250 again. I think it's pretty mild. I am going to try White Flood next.

so then gibson i assume you've gone through an entire tub of the sp250? You were not as impressed by the end of the bottle as you were w/ NO-Xplode? Just curious. I like NO-xplode, but by the end of the tub i definatly need to take more the get the same effect. After a good break it definitely gives the pep back.

I've gone through most of the tub, I was more impressed with NOxplode. It could have a lot do do with the fact that I workout at about 10:00 pm after a long day of work though. So the extra caffine in xplode could have been why I like it better.

I'm looking forward to white flood though.

Animal Pump
Muscle Milk protein powder
ON Creatine Monohydrate

Animal Pump has worked great so far, that's one supplement I'd actually recommend. When this runs out, I'm going to give Black Powder a shot.

I actually liked Black Powder better then NO at first. But as I started using NO, I actually think the pumps are better with NO than Black Powder. The one bonus from Black Powder is I do feel more focused during my workout. I'm curious to see what's up with White Flood.

White Flood is amazing. I want to try it a couple more times before concluding but it's fired me up more than anything else has so far. I felt like an animal last night, but it was the first night and the effects of these things wear down over time, so we'll see. But I never came close to the pump I got from White Flood while taking SP250, even the first time I took it.

What exactly do you guys mean by the "pump" you get from taking pre workout sups?

I don't really take anything(pre) and just make sure I'm hydrated before a work out. Are you talking about just pure energy or recovery or what?

Basically it's the blood rush to your muscles. Your muscles get inflated and almost "juiced" (don't worry, not steroids). They are NO (Nitric Oxide) supplements that get you energized and focused for your workout. I mainly take them because I workout after long days at work and am pretty drained by the time I get home. They give me the boost I need and allow me to workout the way I want to, with much more intesity.

Without them I drag my feet and don't really push myself because it's 10:00 pm and I'm tired.

And when I take it on weekends or days when I'm not very tired, it makes me want to through a bench through a window.

It's like a roid rage, mainly from caffeine, somewhat from placebo.

You said pumps and I would have just called it "being pumped." We're on the same page now.

I tried a black powder sample one time and didn't notice much effect then again caffeine really doesn't do anything for me which is surprising because I don't drink soda at all and rarely coffee.

Everyone is different, hope it works well for you.

Yeah, CL's White Flood has been getting on some great reviews, I've been on it for about 6 months now, so I'm a lil desensitized to it now.

How often a week do you train using WF? I usually don't really feel any diminished effects from NO products. But then again I'm only using the stuff 2 - 3 times a week max on my hard days.

I started using White Flood the past week. My initial observations (results will vary with users) are that it is similar to Black Powder for me. I only really feel it on an empty stomach. However the niacin flush is constant regardless of empty stomach. So far I'd rate from favorite to least favorite as NOxplode, WF, and BP. I'll have to test it out more as this was only my first week and I'm dealing with an injury.

5-6 days a week, but I've been off of it for about 2 weeks now. All I'm taking is 2 bronkaid and 1 caffine pill preworkout, makes me sweat alot more.

Just get this

http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2134187

It's cheaper at GNC and it it proven for years to be on of the best, if the best vitamin pak you can buy.

BB.com has some good thread comparing suppliments. Animal Pak is by far the most recommended over there. I use it and it works pretty well for me.

For me:

NOexplode = OK pump, but body became tolerant to it quickly.
SP250 = very good pump but left me farting and shitting badly. Really bad.
Shock Therapy = Not good
NOShotgun (currently) = Good pump, not gassy, good focus.

Looking for some input - I started taking Creatine Mono - 5g a day. I've somehow put on 5 pounds over the last month. How much of that can I expect to be water? I've definately noticed a difference in the defination of muscle.
