There's a reason you got it for free!

To boost sales?

Oxylite Pro gave out some ridiculous amount of samples on bodybuilding.com and within a month it become the 2nd largest selling supplement :eek:

!!
Tribulus......may not have the same success though

I did hear about that oxyelite stuff but didn't realise it did so well, does it actually work :confused:

R088ieS86 · 3 Mar 2012 at 22:04

lol, In the bin or to someone at the gym then. Recon i know one guy who will take it off me.

What I finally went with in the end - Wish the shaker was cheaper, but needed a new one nonetheless

Going to keep scales for a couple of months and see how well they work, but mainly bought to give to the parents.

Skillmister · 3 Mar 2012 at 22:29

Those scales are pointless, should have just gotten a cheap weight only set

Parents are on some health drive after a recent scare so it is mainly for them. Given that it actually works it'll give them some motivation at least

Should be interesting to see how accurate it is though.

Skillmister · 3 Mar 2012 at 22:43

I'm sure it will be good for comparative readings aka gauging progress, but useless for an accurate beginning point.

Don't they read fat% it by sending electricity through you?

That's an awesome video. Any idea on who is talking in it? Oh also, do you have a pre-gym motivation play list at all?

And Sigma, get on it buddy! You seems really confident before with how you wanted to do things, so get cracking! Don't fall in to the same trap I did. You need to EAT, if you want help with a diet post it up and post your weekly budget.

If you need help with a training program, ask...Hell, keep it simple for the time being, just to get back in to the swing of things. Get in, make progression each session

Thats Kai Greene? IFBB Pro...

you must know who he is!

No the person talking is not Kai. It is the guy who runs the channel - MuscleProdigy. He has a few videos up hes quite good at motivating

Yeah, and depending on how much resistance there is that determines your body fat. So I understand..

I've not tried it, and probably won't. However, it has got really great reviews and some people swear by it, especially for cutting.
Nothing that can't be done by proper drive though

Don't bother with it

Only thing it might do is boost your libido, but in terms of gaining mass, it won't do a thing

Haha, saw this after reading the post above about the foam roller and thought you were talking about that! Libido boosting foam roller..

pieplough · 4 Mar 2012 at 13:35

Bleargh, just ran 5k in 28 mins... utterly despise running. The whole time I want to stop and now my calves hurt. Time to bus out my libido boosting foam roller

Finally got round to putting together my food schedule - good/bad?

There is some confusion/arguing surrounding whether or not Scivation xtend is considered a protein or not since not all the amino acids to make it up are present. The only problem is, if I don't include them into my macros my protein intake is rather low.

For my rest days should I altogether drop the BCAA intake?

icecold · 4 Mar 2012 at 14:42

Don't count your BCAAs as protein intake. Your protein IS low, so add more. You're also waiting 2:30 hours after your gym session to eat, which isn't going to be good.

Chris1712 · 4 Mar 2012 at 14:50

Early morning fasted training protocol innit.

Steedie · 4 Mar 2012 at 14:51

What are your goals?

Cheers Ice - I'm currently on early morning LG though so I start my eating period at 12, and ending at 8. I could throw in a whey/oats shake at 9ish and see how it goes.

Steedie said:

Mainly to drop some fat and build up my strength.

icecold · 4 Mar 2012 at 14:59

Fair enough, but you still need more protein. I'm guessing you're cutting, because you aren't going to gain much on that.
