Enough sillinesss. Let's get serious.
I have a few topics I'd like to discuss, my experience with Nitrotech, various exercising methods, and cardiovascular work.

First, since I think supplements are important in gaining an advantage or an edge in the world of fitness, I'm going to talk about my experience with one of the more popular powder mixes, nitro tech. I'm not exactly sure exactly what it contains, I know it has protein, some other shit, and some shit that is supposed to reduce your insulin spike from eating food, or increase it. I think too much insulin is bad for your body, so I would assume it decreases it. I took it like 6 or 7 years ago regularly for about two months. There were noticeable results. It's not like it got me super ripped, or even changed the ammount of muscle that I would normally gain in two months. It was effective by allowing my muscles to regenerate faster, and giving me more energy while working out. I was able to bench press more weight than what I normally was able to after awhile. Perhaps some of these results could simple have been the placebo effect, but I dunno. This might sound crazy, but it did seem to make my face break out with acne significantly more than what it did when I wasn't taking it.

As for now a days, I just take the fish oil pills and a two-per-day vitamin.

Let's move on to various exercise techniques. What I mean by these are like burn-outs, drop-sets, and negatives. I'm a huge fan of burn-outs, and I do a lot of various exercises this way. I would consider exercises like 21's, 10-10-10's, and 3 way shoulders as burn-outs, and I regularly do all three of the aforementioned workouts. I think they do a great job of really bringing a lot of blood to the worked muscles, and they help rip the muscles and cut them out a lot. Drop-sets are extremely useful, especially if you're trying to increase the ammount of weight that you can do. I only do drop-sets when I am trying to do more weight on a certain exercise than I normally do. If I can't get 10 reps with that weight, I put it down and pick up a lighter weight and finish the set with the lighter weight. A spotter would probably be more effective, but I am a loner and always workout by myself.

As far as negatives are concerned, I've never really tried them...don't really see the point in doing them. I have no idea what their purpose is. If anyone has ever had any experience with them, it'd be cool if you could tell me what the fucking point is in doing them, and if they are effective or not.

For cardiovascular exercise my main questions are, how often should cardo be done? I typically do cardio 3 or 4 times a week. I like to give it some variety, one day I use weighted jump rope, next day run, then use exercise bike. Since I don't like to take days off from working out, I typically work out in the daytime and do cardio later in the night. Of course not everyone can do this so I'm interested how others fit cardio into their workout routine.

In addition, since I'm still interested in being able to defend myself, how important is grip strength in a fight? To me it would seem like it could be a valuable tool. That's why I've been using the grip strengthening handle things. My goal for that is to be able to rip someone's jugular out with my bare hands. I don't know if that's possible though. Are those grip handle things effective or not? Well fuck this is a long post so I"m fucking done. Thanks for help if anyone gives help. If you don't want to help that's fine but please keep the stupid bullshit comments to yourselves. Thanks.

[Beebs]

Don't know what to say about the exercise part, other than you can only build muscle and lose fat, you can't really make a muscle more cut, only make it bigger or lose fat.

Grip strength, definatly usefull, but for things like grabbing jackets or shirts or controlling somebodys hands and arms, you're not gonna rip out a jugular.

[Heaven Can Wait]

1. Deadlift for grip strength.
2. supplements are supplements, you dont need to take any of that shit untill you stop gaining, shit, creatine has only been around 20 years. (powder form, approx)
3. all the shit about the 'pump' and stuff like that is bullshit too, do your compounds and take time over them, rest plenty between sets, then when you isolate, fuck about with pumping.
4. nitrotech is the same as any other whey powder, its like saying 'my creatine monohydrate is better than your creatine monohydrate' its the same fucking shit.
5. cardio is best done in the morning, before breakfast.

'I was able to bench press more weight than what I normally was able to after awhile.'
thats the general idea.

DH, I know you know more about lifting then what you are leading on. You don't need any GNC provide weight or power gainers. Eat eggs for breakfast, Tuna or Chicken for lunch, and beef for dinner. The main thing in a diet is protien. I was new in cutting weight and adding muscle and a solid protein diet was it. This won't mean much to anyone, and might not mean much to DH, but at the beginning of the softball season I was hitting 2 HR's every 2 weeks. I went on an all protein diet and after about 2 months I had dropped about 20 lbs and had hard time keeping it in the yard.

Ripping the Jugular out is only for Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse. If you want to protect yourself you just need to get self defense tools. That could mean going to a class. If you are looking for the magic answer, everytime you have to protect yourself is different. If some is bigger, chop their knees. If someone is your size, straight jab to the nose will fold most bar brawlers. If you are faced upon more then 1 person, then it comes to you vs. the toughest guy of the group. Cut off the head, cut off the monster.

[THEINCREDIBLEdork]

I was always told to scream "fire!" when in danger. hope this helps.

[Saint DH]

Hey Shaw thanks for the pointers. Since most people are bigger than me, going for the knees trick is a good idea. I was also thinking about just going straight for the nuts if he's too much bigger. I also liked that trick the midget did in that one animated gif. someone posted on some other thread.

Yeah I do know a lot about training and lifting. I mean I've been doing this shit for the better part of 10 years. And I've been running hardcore for at least 18 years. I trained so hard when I was younger I think that may be why my growth was stunted. Oops.

[Mr. Blonde]

I was just watching roadhouse and I think the key is to be a 29+ year old bouncer.

Harry, how old are you? 24? You've been running hardcore since you were 6?

[AcTivE]

eat some anadrol/winstrol for cutting. i've got a big bag of it...few scoops a day

[vaga1220 *]

You know what will help a lot. Steroids.

[vaga1220 *]

wait. Is that what anadrol/winstrol is? because if it is then I just made my self look like a tool.

[AcTivE]

yess

[THEINCREDIBLEdork]

I think you're a loser, but youre probably used to people thinking that aren't you?

[AcTivE]

i don't really concern myself with what other people think of me ..just what i think of myself good sir.

Anadrol comes in tablet form, and its shit.
hugely toxic to the liver.

[Mr. Blonde]

Active is a hippocrite and i'd be interested to know what he's actually scooping if he thinks it's roids.

No you dont, reading a little bit of shit on the internet/training for 10 years does not qualify.
a BBer's method of gaining muscle is hugely different to someone who benches 200.

bend over and i'll show you

[Saint DH]

I've actually been running since I was 2 years old...competitvely since I was...yeah around 6.

Heaven I have probably forgotten more about exercising than you will ever know so feel free to put your mouth around the edge of my penis.
