Mega bored at the moment and just wondering who on CG works out or goes to the gym often?


I started working out this year, currently just been doing weights at home. I started off weighing around 72kg's and I'm currently weighing in at around 79kg's, so I'm quite happy with my progress so far . I work out 1 night, and then have 1 night off for a recovery.

I take USPLabs Jack3d as my pre-work out, and recommend it to absolutely anyone who currently works out or is keen to start working out. The energy and focus you have while you work out after taking it is unbelievable.

I also take Redbak's Complete Protein Shake 2-3 times a day. This is really good for promoting lean muscle mass as it also helps with fat loss.

Also, I have to say that my diet has significantly improved since I first started working out, eating lots of fruit, meat, salad, etc. I notice that I am able to eat larger quantities of food now too.

So yeah, gym junkies or whoever, let me know about what you take, what you do, and your improvements and what not.

Last time i went to the gym i punched a bag and broke my hand :L that was like 2 years ago.

i used to go often...but im taking a break. ill probs start going to MMA again soon though.

i have a question for you mate. i used to drink protein shakes and stuff but after i drink it i was never hungry or not hungry as much. is it okay to skip meals and just drink the protein drinks ?

Also when i have the Cheap protein shakes like Musashi i feel bloated and like shit.
so i need to get more expensive any one els have this problem.

No, Protein shakes don't replace meals they only top-up nutrients that you might not be getting enough of in your meals.

Creatine (think thats how you spell it) seems to be popular and a fair bit of people i know use it and the recommend it

No, it's never really good to skip meals, because having a good diet is the most important part of building muscle.

I usually have a shake when I wake up in the morning with my breakfast, which is usually eggs or a bowl of cereal. And then one before I go to bed of a night, and then sometimes a shake in between those times.
I also have a piece of fruit before sleeping too.
I know of some people who have said their shakes were making them feel bloated an not hungry, which is why you would need to look at another shake to get.

Jack3d contains Creatine which is good for fueling muscle cells and for a better recovery.

My Five Day work out Post yours if you have it Wrote down

Only just started this aswell.

Who needs protein shakes when you got bananas and chicken, the powdered supplements can never be as good as the real protein foods, i make my own 'protein shakes using egg whites, full cream milk, milo and honey = ******* awesome. the powdered shit is just that ...shit.

Not good for your health at all.

Yeah, this is true.
I have a mate who is huge and who doesn't take protein shakes.
Having a great diet is best.

And yeah I know Microman, I've been told before...it's just that the work-outs I am able to do because of using it, I don't want to not have it lol. Mind you, I'm not abusing it and I'm only taking it before work-outs, about 4 times a week.

Totally agree with this.

Often shake are more of a mental thing and a waste of money, although if shakes are what motivate you to get to the gym or workout at home and your getting results the keep on the shakes.

**** you would be a tank.
