Creatine can work for some people, i've never really had any "gains" from it but know people that swear by it. My advice? Give it a go, don't get a fancy brand just get plain monohydrate or cee. It's cheap, if you don't feel it's effect don't try it again- it won't do any harm.... You man put a couple lbs of water retention on though, so don't get worried if the scales go up!!

I'm sure I have read about some people having bowl issues from creatine, can't remember the name of it but it didn't sound nice!

I did 21's for the first time yesterday, 4 sets.

My hands are still shaking and I just p****ed all over the toilet seat

I'd say you're relying too much on protein shakes and not enough on solid food. In fact, i'd be very surprised if you gain any muscle at all on that diet, there's just not enough calories. Get some food down you man. IMO, you could drop all those supplements too, there's just no need to be faffing about with all that stuff mate

But there's only one protein shake in there bud? The whey is mostly added to food to add more protein content. The shake** I listed is mostly fruit, oats, skimmed milk.

I can't find a better source of quick absorbing carbs than WMS for PWO food-wise. The amount of supplements I've added seems like nothing compared to what fellas like Chong Warrior consume and he's a prime example of good results.

Appreciate the input mate, I'll be fine-tuning my diet for a long time yet

One supplement is too many supplements for jeffstar!

9AM Wake – 50g oats + 1 scoop Whey + 1 piece of fruit or fruit juice

10AM 45 pre-workout multivits + half of shake**

12.00 2 scoops Whey in water

15.30 MRP flapjack / powder

21.00 shake**

i think thats what he was referring to

I'd say that diet is fine for a starting point.

no one has commented on my frame

I'm not sure about your frame, but the people on here sure in hell scared away MHayes by recommending a hardcore regime to someone with a casual interest in keeping fit

Just as I expected.

You look kinda like I did before I started training but with more of a chest :eek:

Don't be scared to eat big and lose some of your definition, its the *only* way you'll add size. I'm not talking about becoming "Arnie" I'm talking about 2-3stones, you'll carry it easily.

I know what you mean, find it hard to put on weight like so many people, i am trying to fix my diet. its hard to find the time with uni and all.

"Hard to find the time with uni and all"?!?!? Don't let Chong see that

^^that answer your question

Freefaller · 6 Dec 2007 at 00:20

I shan't go into the reasons why I'm carrying a laptop in this pic (favour for a friend

) but this was me at the start of the year. I've put on about 6lbs since then and yes I know I'm a hairy bugger

I'll post a more recent one soon!

Pigeon_Killer · 6 Dec 2007 at 00:30

Your upper back looks pretty big. Do you know what your body fat percentage was when that photo as taken?

OT: Did you get paid much for doing that Cadbury advert? You're a pretty good drummer

Freefaller · 6 Dec 2007 at 00:52

You've lost me!

As for by BF% around 15-16% I reckon.

This one is about 2 months old - but I've lost a bit of bodyfat.

as is this one:

I haven't really got a satisfactory one of my front except this one which is about 2 months old too.

http://www.twobeds.com/upload/userfiles/wmr1980/front.jpg

I can't pose for toffee - I'm all crooked!

And yes I know I'm a hairy git

I need to cut a bit more, I've got the bulk (though the pics aren't very good - they are quite slimming pics!

) I just need to define a bit more.

In these pics I'm about 89.5Kg.

Chong Warrior · 6 Dec 2007 at 01:12

Agreed, you've got the beef now just cut. Fat AND hair lol

Freefaller · 6 Dec 2007 at 01:16

Do you realise the effort that would take (for the fur that is)?!

Killa_ken · 7 Dec 2007 at 03:27

you hairy bugger :eek:
