Getting in shape 2008 / 2009 / 2010

I'm only running about twice a week right now! The holidays are just way to busy.

Better than nothing at all. We all tend to stray this time of year, make a plan for the new year, and by the 27th of Jan.....you either keep it going or you don't.

My job will be slowing down a little after the new year as well and that will give me a little more time to myself. I've been reading up on that Nitric Oxide stuff, my only problem is with running in the morning I can't take it 30 minutes before the workout. Since I'm running for an hour do you think it will still work if I take right before I run? It seems that since it takes 20 to 30 minutes for the fat burning to kick in when running it might work out ok.......

Don't worry about those time hacks Chuck. I take the stuff an hour before and it works great.

Glen, that's what I'm saying I don't have 30 minutes or an hour - I would have to take right before I head out the door to start running - maybe 5 minutes before! I guess I just need to try it and see what happens...............

Here is what I do and it seems to work well. On days I lift I take the stuff 30-45mins before the gym. I do very little cardio on these days. Maybe an easy 2 miler. On days I am going to focus on cardio more than lifting, I don't even take the pre-workout NO. If your running every-other day you should be good on the fat-loss side of the fence. Your supplements will last longer as well. On days prior to cardio intense training, just eat a slow burning carb that night before and a piece of fruit while your headed to the gym..i.e. apple...This is plenty enough simple sugar for nutrient burning during a workout. Post workout is still the same. Just whey and maybe glutamine post-workout. Casein protein before bed. Hope this helps, I will be in the area all day!!

I have been looking into the NO stuff as well. Tell me what are its supposed gains... all I get is it helps the body function better and something about dosage levels have not been set yet so you have to experiment? I am really looking to put on the mass. Yes I will be jogging to get some endurance but size is key here for me.

What about creatine? I use to be big on it but I also you to eat a lot of red meat (where creatine comes from). Now I normally only eat chicken and ground turkey being cheap so I am thinking about starting back with it. Opinions?

Right now all I am taking is EAS protein mix which is 27g protein, 140 calories, 3 carbs. I do have some serious like 740 calorie protein shakes I used to take and I saw some mass but it is costly (got it on sale) and man it was nasty

Do a little extra for me too!
Chart says to weigh 193 lbs....I ask if that was the top side or bottom side?
At 61...320lbs. and 6'1" I need to get back myself.
Former bodybuilder, power lifter, body guard, bouncer, bail bonds I am lucky I could throw myself out of a bar before my wife had to protect ME from being bounced.
I know the routine....just forgot where the turn on the power to drive is located!

[BigJerm]

Haha those "charts" kill me. For me at 6'5"ish it says my current weight of like 248 is borderline obese... I am not skinny man but most people have a hard time believing I weigh 250 and most think I am more like 215. I could only imagine if I weighed what I was suppose to.

Thanks  {toast}

Might have to get this a shot when the funds allow. Trying not to break the bank on supplements like I have in the past!

[wideload]

Yep..at 193 lbs. I'd look look a thermometer if I drank red cool aid! {hihi}
