How about whey and creatine? is it okay to mix both of them? taken before workout and after workout?

Bro. Mikehuan knows his stuff. He already told you. And he is correct.

Let me expand on this. There are 2 ways to take creatine.

1. Loading method.

4 days of 20 grams (4 teaspoons ----> 1 teaspoon 4 times a day), then maintenance of 1 teaspoon a day)

2. Just take it pre and post workout.


The aim of the first method is to achieve max saturation of creatine in your system. It doesn't matter which method you use, you will attain max saturation of creatine in the end.

Oh yeah, I need to ask you guys something. About Carnitine. Has anyone here experienced success with this? I've done some research and the outcome is a bit iffy.

noted. errr. I dunno whether to agree or disagree with DL on the issue that weight gainer are crap. normally ppl take weight gainer is to help them to meet the required calories intake. it is much easier to consume than taking food. eventhou it taste bad.
*
How.... how..... how can you compare mas gainers to Wendy triple burgers, maggi goreng, fried omelettes with bacon and butter, nasi lemak, pizza..... howwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww????????????????????????

QUOTE(alien9 @ Jan 29 2013, 07:28 PM)
You don't but mass gainers is still crap cause DL is once a 45kg hardgainers and he says so. The fillers (the ingredients) is made from cheap quality stuff and that makes it a crap.

I was never 45kg. Just 48. That was my lightest.

Since I have stopped all supplements; cant say much as of now in terms of as supplement intake reallife benefits.

but from my experience during my supplements days; It had indirect benefits (mostly you may know about it, Dr. DL); but just for the benefit of others. Here I'm referring to L-carnitine and not the D.
Carnitine stimulates the breakdown fats by the mitochondria and plays important role in transportation of fatty acids into mitochondria.

Here is where it plays importance; a defiency in Carnitine results in decrease in fatty-acid concentrations in mitochondria, hence reduced energy production.

If the heart doesnt have enough supply of oxygen; Carnitine levels decreases quickly. hence leads to less energy and increase risk of angina  and hearth problem. During intensive exercise or weightlifting; oxygen level decreases; hence Carnitine supplement makes good sense.

Clinical trials have some evidence on the above and increase in productivity. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11382369

Bottom line, Carnitine improves fat metabolism, hence increasinf energy prduction in the heart muscles and may also prevent the production of metabolites (toxic fatty acid - the products of metabolism).

Generally in terms of improving blood supply and energy metabolism it had to be looked at all of these 4s; namely Carnitine, Pantethine, CoQ10 and magnesium.

Nowadays, I use food to have those in my intake and seldom on supplements.

Thanks. I wanna get more ripped so if anything can help, I'll go for it.

Would like to get some whey protein recommendation here.

I'm a girl who started working out since last year.
Started off with the Syntha-6 which was recommended by GNC staff.
She says it's suitable for girls.
Later on I realize it has high calories it in.

Currently looking for some recommendation which will help reach my objective.
Objective: 1. Lose weight by lowering body fat percentage and gain some healthy muscle mass.
                2. Tone up my muscles without bulking up.

Been considering MyoFusion Probiotic from Gaspari or Nitro Tech from MuscleTech or Elite Whey Protein from Dymatize.

Which is better or any other suggestion?
*
Calories are calories. Protein is protein. Syntha 6 is an excellent product. Just cut cals from the rest of your daily intake.

I might not buy anything from muscletech anymore since the quality control so poor. Not to mention the bad taste.

me & my brother bump into our Mr. Universe, Mr. Sazali Samad last few weeks at carefour wangsamaju.. somehow we managed to have a short chat with him. very friendly and humble man as compared to his reputation in bodybuilding . BTW, he still encouraged us to take mass gainer and he admit he still take mass gainer,  i'm a bit suprise! so to F*&*&k mass gainer is a bit to harsh..hehe

Not to take anything away from him. First of all. You are natural. Second, do you know what is genetically elite? Superior musculature, superior nutrient partitioning, superior recovery time, superior glucose disposal, etc. Do you have that?

f*** mass gainers. Period.

First, i'm not angry. Second, i actually feel sorry for you cos you're going to waste your cash. Third, which is the most important, I'm not your brother. That's insulting. You don't know me enough to called brother. My iron bros are the regs here with common sense.

QUOTE(janson_kaniaz @ Mar 5 2013, 08:06 AM)
which is why they always hire pro bb'er to promo mass gainers and protein.
which is why Muscletech is so rich because they always have Mr Olympia as their ambassador.

because newbies will believe everything 'pro' says, heh?

Sazali taklah say on my face "f*&^ mass gainer" and i'm sure during that time he not promoting any supplement, casual chat laaa.

I see... so.... you define an online bully by someone who insults others from the safety of a keyboard. I'll tell you to your face f*** mass gainers. How about that? I'm giving an opinion here.

What? You want me to say in a politically correct way that mass gainers are bad? Not my style.

Way to fuel the fire idiot.

fine if you wanna question everything. you have your opinions BUT so do others. you dont respect their opinions they dont have to respect yours. end of the day even if you buy mass gainers even though we say its a waste of money we cant really say anything can we?

and mass gainers isnt food. Food for thought. Pun intended.

and if you wanna meet face to face with any one of us i think its fine. im pretty sure none of the regs will back off. Make sure you do though, or that image you attached pretty much only relates to yourself  rclxms.gif

Lol yeah. It's NOT like I'm threatening to beat him in person. If he wants me to say it to his face f*** mass gainers, and if he happens to bump into me, damn right I'll say it. Stupid fella, simply label people as internet bully. Does he know the difference between opinionated and bullying?

He's a professional bodybuilder. With his level of muscle mass, he'd likely have a massive metabolism and would require a great deal of calories to just maintain weight. In his case, with him knowing how his own body works, sure he could use mass gainers. For the average trainee, all you really need to to is eat, and understand basic nutrition. I have used mass gainers. Have they worked? Yes. Why? Because I was hitting whatever calories I needed at the time to grow. I could have grown exactly the same if I had eaten more.

Supplements are all fine and dandy but they should not come before the foundation has been set up. So many people jump straight into a supplement store when they don't even know what macros they should be hitting daily, let alone what a macronutrient even is.

I visit Muscle Mania sometimes and guess what a lot of people scream for the moment they walk in? Do you have this Mass Gainer by ............. And most of the jokers who buy them look either fat, skinny fat or just skinny.

And they look at me weird when i ask about fat burners. Sheesh...
