yea, i think a persons body can only digest but 50gr a time. but STILL tho, with each shake, i get the 50 PLUS whereas syntha-6, i would only get, i THINK bout 46 grams. but i go to gnc (i kno, i kno), and i go at the beginning of the month and use my gold card. i spend about $150 on sups every month. i take the gnc sport vitapaccs. they cost $50 and i get the protein shakes for bout $100. i get a big tub and a half. i drink ALOT of that shit. i weigh 205. i drink about 180 grams of shake a day, plus a poached egg muffin before i train in the morn, and a tuna sandwich before i train in the evening. then i'm sure i get good protein from wutever i eat for dinner. not really tryna GAIN weight (that's y i stay away from muscle milk, etc). jus tryna stay ABOVE 200, BUT lose this little i gut i got. but yea, u should checc out the ON pro. i could tell the difference when i switched to that shit, in my lifting power, and my mma training. jus more energy. fold.
for those who workout?

I tried to cut back on protein shakes
I've been eating a lot more food instead...
I used to switch off every 2-3 hours eating and drinking a protein shake... now I just eat every 2-3 hours
I drink a whey protein shake after my workout and syntha-6 before bed... I might drink a shake every now and then if I need somthin real quick... but thats it
since I've been doing that I've see a lot more gains

tried NO Xplode earlier this month for the first time..tried it for about 2 weeks..HATED THAT SHIT..i took 1 scoop and didnt feel shit..took 2 and felt nuthin...tried 3 and felt anxious as fuck in the gym..i didn't even wanna be there, just wanted the feeling to go away lol..
with three scoops i would get a tingling sensation and then my ears would start to itch like a crack fiend..with 3 scoops i would say i had extra energy, but definitely not worth it for me..
oh yeah, i would normally take it at like 4PM and couldn't fall asleep till like 2AM..i would be lying in bed with my eyes closed frustrated as fuck!

I would run before just as a warm up
but it's actually better to run after as far as burning fat goes... but not for too long... 15-20 minutes tops
when I'm bulking I do 10 minute warm up and that's it
when I'm cutting I do 10 minute warm up and 15 minutes after my workout
I've actually seen a lot of stuff about HIIT
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_interval_training
supposed to be a good way to burn fat without sparing a lot of muscle
I haven't tried it... but I might whenever I decide to start cutting.... (if I do... I fuckin hate cutting... fuck cardio and fuck eating light... I like to rip the weights and eat like a hog)

i do 20 minutes on a treadmill at a 15 incline and a 4mph and then lift weights and then do another 30 minutes on treadmill at the same and im burning like 600-700 calories that way and as far as supplements in the morning i take a multivitamin and fish oil and right before i lift weights i take half a l-glutamine pill and then the other half after working out while i do my last 30 minutes of cardio i take a whey protein shake then when i get home i eat and as soon as im done eating i drink a muscle milk shake slowly (takes me bout half hour to drink just to make it last) im still a big guy ive only lost bout 20 lbs in 5 months but ive gained alot of muscle mass and i workout 4 days a week monday i do legs especially squats if you dont do squats i suggest doing them. Every week i do calf raises but one week ill do them on the leg press and the next i do 6 to 7 sets starting at a certain weight and doing 12 dropping some weight and doing 12 until i do a final set of just bodyweight calf raises. On tuesdays i work out my chest and triceps since they are both pushing muscles you can do them same day. on thursdays i do back and biceps same concept since they are both pulling muscles u can do them same day. every other week for biceps i only do 5-20's if anyone wants to know what it is just ask but i suggest doing them if you want to get bigger biceps. and on fridays i do shoulders. i usually do 7 exercises for legs 4 exercises for chest, triceps, back, and biceps, and i do 7 exercises for shoulders. i do 3 sets of each exercise. one week i do heavy sets where ill do two warm up sets and then one heavy set of each exercise on the warm up sets you only go to 8 reps and on the heavy set you should only be able to do 6 to 8 reps before failure. and the other week i do 3 sets of each exercise but i do a weight where i can get between 12 and 15 reps and i dont max out. if anyone has any questions just ask im more than willing to try to help others.
