Soooo looking for input here guys. I'm on the flip side of the bulking. I'm getting/staying in shape and also being older, I need to be concerned with joints. Last year I started Insanity about this time of the year and after 3-4 weeks had to take a break due to joint pain. Found that GNC Triflex is amazing and I'm on my third week of Insanity again, going a little gentler on the knees this time and taking the Triflex.
Anyone know of something that is basically the same w/o the GNC pricetag?
I refer Animal Flex to almost everyone, even as a staple, like I use it....
AllStarHealth.com <<<hands down the best site for everyday low price....Bodybuilding.com has decent sales here and there but can't match their everyday prices + flat rate shipping....
I agree a 100% on diet first you can take supplements until your either blue in the face or broke or maybe both..... I pretty much always take at least 1 animal pak broken up into a few each meal.
Ive recently been using universal real gains bananna for protien shakes with ice cubes some milk a whole bananna and a scoop of peanut putter this makes the best shake ive come up with.
Plus little wimpy 25g per serving shakes suck unless you take 3 a day. Gainers are the way to go 52g per serving protien and 600 calories. Im a hard gainer anyways but i can run like a cheetah.
I use alarm for a prework out and yes the new version of jacked 3d sucks balls quite hnestly ive used it twice and puked both times on the new version f that noise!
Creatine monohydrate added to the shakes and prework out. I also swear by xtend intra/during work out i notice i usually dnt get as sore usng that.
i also is krealkylin and tribuluis pills 2 of each mixed in with the animal pak through out the day.
Im 168 run sub 15 min 2 mile pt tests and bench around 200 10 reps. Bench is always low for me thats always my trouble.
Id suggest to others if you not getting results or protien shakes switch to a gainer 25g per shake seems like such a waste.
no offense but gainers are sh*t....1 scoop your choice protein, 16 oz fat free milk, 1 cup dried oats, 1 banana blended, is far greater than any "gainer" protein...
rule of thumb is usually 1-1.5 grams of protein per bodyweight for lifters....obvious foods like chicken, beef/steak, eggs, tuna, yogurt/cottage cheese = easy choices to accomplish your daily intake....
Xtend is pretty good, I still prefer AEN Intrabolic and CL's Purple Wraath, personal preference....
before my shoulder/back injury I joined the 1200lb club with my 3 major lifts at only 25 yrs old and 175 lbs (12% BF) had a 345 Bench, 455 Dead, and 415 Squat <<<yea I know, terrible squat....
