Lol, forgot to follow up on this. Anyway, Muscle Infusion tastes pretty good with water as well.

To all shifu..
I'm new to this, would like to ask some newbie question

I'm currently 23yo, 175cm 77kg would like to go down and build-up.
Currently taking GNC Burn60 + LCarnitine. But doesn't seems to help much, would like to stop and change others.

Any recommendation?

What is your current goal now? Go down and build-up? Or do you mean cutting and bulk-up? Do you intend to do both at the same time or?

Can you tell me why you bought that supps? What is those are for?

Hello sirs.

I've started gyming (doing the stronglifts 5x5 program) for 2-3 weeks now and I started at 56kg 180cm.

I'm trying to get enough protein in my diet (about 1XXgrams right?) but the supplement I've been taking (Horley's bodybuilding) is giving me "side effects".

I've been getting diahrea (however you spell it D:) sometimes after taking it with milk (but not always), but it is somewhat consistent (like once a week). I don't think I'm lactose intolerant...

Also the supplement tastes horrible. (sweet and a little salty for some reason). Any other supplements that is recommended that I can try out to see if my stomach agrees with it or not?

It's not hard to meet your protein requirements from whole foods.

You don't need the mass gainers man. Go for the real food. It is not easy to consume them in the first place but you have to and you need to. Just think, if you need mass gainers to increase your weight from 56kg to 60kg, how about when you want to increase from 70kg-80kg (muscle, not fat)? You want to consume 3 servings of mass gainers a day?

gulp.

Good point though.

That means that I have to consume more than 3 meals a day?

Its good if you already notice it. 3 large meals or 6 small meals. For me, I don't have any problem consuming 2 very large meals but for skinny guys, knowing that they cannot eat lots of food in one serving, 6 small meals should be ok.

yea wei.

Finding it hard to consume large meals.

Thanks for clearing things up. I personally find that there's so many differing views on nutrition and working out (lot of folk intuition involved), hence why I'm rather confused. Thanks for guiding.

guys mind discuss on carintine vs fat burners (eca)?

Not sure where to post this but i just wanna ask

did anyone try Muscle Juice Revolution 2600, i'm currently taking it and i'm still a beginner to these stuffs.

anyway, i'm only 16 and i wanna bulk up a little bit so i started going to gym 4 weeks ago and started taking supplements.

What do you think about it? Should i change it to another product or stay the same for a few months? Or maybe you guys have better suggestions?

Like I've said, like alien9 has said, like a lot of us have said, don't rely solely on supplements. They're meant to supplement your diet, meaning add onto it. Eat more whole foods.

This is the answer for your question.
3 main aspects in weightlifting are exercises, diet, and rest. Focused on these three aspects first before going on to the next aspects such as supplements, time under tension, meal timing etc. You won't get much of a gain by just taking what you want which is for your situation are exercise and supplements.

Don't waste your time doing something but not getting anything from it. Trust me, I've been there. Most of us have been there before, that is why we are giving such advices/

guys, i think this is supplement discussion thread right..get what i mean..

Recommended to take protein shake ( one scoop + milk ) before bedtime? I've been doing it for a week, i realize that i'm gonna suffer financial issues if i continue. Lol.

and we were talking about...

Do you managed to hit your daily protein requirement? If not, you have too consume whatever amount you need to consume. If you have, why do you need to take more protein? BUT it is advisable to consume protein just before going to bed, preferably a slow digesting protein such as casein. This will provide slow supply of protein for muscle recovery.

get enough of your daily protein intake.
day or night dont matter.

Been going on syntha 6 for a couple of weeks. 1 serving morning, 2 serving for post workout and 1 after 1 hour of dinner. Been doing great, getting some small gains. I choose this protein cause it has different type of protein in it, example, whey, egg, casein(for people who dont eat every 2 hours like me) and etc. Overall, its quite good. Flavour is chocolate milkshake. Changed my protein from ON WHEY GOLD to Syntha 6.

Calculated (not so sure, i suck at calculating ), approx required 112.5g of protein per day. I usually have 3 egg white ( 18g ) one whole chicken leg ( 12g ) , dinner ( random cause under catering ) approx 9g, one protein shake after workout ( 48g ) and lastly, minor proteins from stuffs like bread, oats, etc ( 5g ) = 92. I'm lacking of 20.5g of protein, looks like protein shake is needed before bed I think i'll just half a scoop. Lol.
