de crystal.....

you " want to get away with the two extra meat at ur side ".......
u sure about that....i mean....where u heading...?....

maybe...u wanna change "with " with "from "

I took lipo-6 black mainly as an energy booster, I can't stress that enough due to the fact that many thinks that fat burners are responsible for fat loss. I try to wean myself away from it and only used it when I really need it, but lipo-6 black works really well as an energy enhancer and boosting mental focus. Dieting, 2 hours of cardio x 7 days a week during the last 3 weeks, working plus studying, meals prepping isn't easy without some occasional energy boost.

I initially ordered two bottles of lipo 6-black from bata . I still have one more left and just ordered one more because I like to keep myself well stocked lol

I also used optimum 100% casein , optimum 100% Whey and Xtend.

I say stick to basics like creatine, BCAA, whey and GOOD NUTRITIONAL HABITS.

Added on November 9, 2009, 9:09 amCarbs would be great postworkout instead of pre workout to replenish muscle glycogen storage , liver glycogen storage can be replenished via consuming fruits but that's a story for another day. Just a food for thought, Always do what works for u

Good complex carb source - yams, oats, sweet potato, brown rice (I like to microwave my yams and sweet potato)

keep up the good work lynX !

just a play of words.

Get away with those two pieces of meat

or

Get away from those two pieces of meat.

oh oh got it.
it should be the latter right?
cheers.

de.crystal,bulk first..if u lose those handle also..erm..so???so bulk first and ur love handle is not that big la..not that bad...bulk and then cut..better IMHO

ken,i cannot take lipo 6..too much stress...last time try 1 bottle..and i can still sleep after taking it...aish..cafein doesnt do much for me

hahhaha..... dont worry i was just having a bit of fun no?
lets put a smile on that face.....

de.crystal..ur problem is somewhat similar to mine..but ignore ur love handles for the moment... increase ur intensity on your basic exercises...push hard and u will see results realistically fast...

i dun wan to bulk just wana be define thats it

You can't build a house without a solid base.

if u dont have muscle (bulk),what u wanna define???
no muscle,low BF = skinny but ripped
but ripped at 40kg++...erm...u dont want that

since you asked...im a firm believer of walking the talk.... so here is my change within 4 years....

yeah i anticipated that coming from them too...
wan muscle but not the big one la

nice progress....

Well you have a strong tolerance for caffeine i guess. That's why I emphasize on the idea of using caffeine sparingly.The receptors tend to become less responsive to it when overused, and higher dosage is required to achieve the same effect.

The same thing can be observed with heavy coffee drinkers (at first it was 1 cup in the morning, then 1 in the morning & afternoon, etc.)

There are ways to overcome this neurotransmitter production -> norepinephrine & epinephrine -> adrenaline process to promote the effectiveness of caffeine but I am hesitant to state it here due to the fact that is the wealth of information over here and too many people here miss the bigger picture (exercise and nutrition), instead they choose to care bout the minutia, talk bout being punctilious.

its actually not that great a progress..the real change began 1 year back when i was seriously training......
so far hv been training for 1 year and approx 9 months....

it's only been a month de.crystal. Patience is the name of the game. Braindead_freak took 4 years as well.

thanks ken.. ur progress is inspiring as well.. especially the cutting part...whats ur stats? inches and kgs

---

Added on November 9, 2009, 2:48 pmtechnically....its 2 though ... ..and i could have pushed harder....wasted the first 9 months doing crap...... but it took me that long to get a basic understanding and a solid base to work on......for me it was also easier coz im an athlete... so training was actually desirable..... non - active ppl will definitely have more mental barriers to over come....

but thats not an excuse yea ..

I am 185 cm and a paltry 80 kgs now. I don't take measurements, I use pictures, my SUPER HONEST training partner and mirror as a progress indicator. F*** measurements lol

true... im also more interested in height an weight... muscle size differs when pumped and not pumped...

a chest like that ..u probbably benching 70 -90kgs normally?

sum ppl look very ripped and huge..but then u find out that they are 160 cm and such....

it takes a lot of muscle to look bulky at your height... im not too far behind with 178 and 71 kgs
