When ya post your pics see if ya can find a tailoring tape and measure yourself using the video examples in your bodyspace.
Post some weights and heights here too..
I wouldn't start the EC stack right off the bat - see if ya can give a good diet a month or two solid, then I'll give ya all the EC stack info and sources ya need.
First month should be huge success - lots of water loss, and a lot of people lose 10lb+ easy.
Got a lot of work ahead of ya bro, but it's do-able!
Keep at it, and the days will fly by - take pics in a month and compare em to those ya just posted.
Yea I plan on it. Yea I wish when I ran cross country my senior year in High School, I just kept in shape, but when I moved out on my own and came to college I gained about 15-20 pounds. Now it is time to change again, and I will. I am tired of not being able to go places with family and most of all my brother because I am ashamed of my weight. I will not even take my shirt off at the beach, it sucks, but I will change.
Hey man I just went ahead and purchased that fitday program for the 20 bucks, do you know if I can link my charts on here?
I figured I wouldnt be able to, because it does not have a url, but I did not know if there was a way around it.

Or just post your ending day calories and percentages of macros.. (Fat/carbs/protein)
Sorry to ask so many questions but I am trying to get the supplement post right.
Ok so right now I take:
1 Animal Pak
Whey Protein(I make shakes that fit into my diet)
Questions:
Why do you take that Green Mag Creatin Stuff on your off days?
What is the difference between the Green Mag and White Flood?
Is NO-Explode the same as White Flood?

Basically White Flood is a NO (Nitric Oxide) which is what NO-Explode is.
I take the Green Mag on off days because the Torrent I take also has creatine in it, and I take that on my workout days. Understand? both these supps have creatine, the green mag is creatine only (with supporters) so I supplement with that on days I don't take torrent.
I use whey protein as needed too.. Usuallt 1-3 scoops a day.. mixed with oats, or as 'chocolate' milk on the side with a meal.

I see so if I wanted to I could use NO-Explode. I think what I will do, is keep what I have now and get some Green Mag for my creain, get some of those fish oil pills, and get soe casein for a night time snack(not a big fan of cottage cheese). I also have some Lipo 6, should I take that to?
So that will put me at:
1 Animal Pak
Whey Pretein Shakes(post workout)
Green Mag(pre or post workout?)
Fish oil
Casein Shakes
Lipo 6?

Remember casein is a slow protein - so use it moderately. Just at night would be fine.
I have no experience on Lipo 6, can't help there sorry.
If you feel that you need extra energy pre-workout, the NO could help (I really love my White Flood, if you're looking at buying some) but a healthy pre-workout meal with some complex carbs (rice / grains / oats) is an excellent start for pre-workout energy.

Yea I could use an extra boost before going to the gym.
Alright so I will order,
Creatin
White Flood
Casein
I will just continue to use my WHEY protein as my post workout shake, and I already have some fish oil, so I will just start taking those.
What a day, I did legs today and I must say they are sore and got worked out well. I was not able to do my cardio right after lifting, but I went for a lite jog/walk later in the afternoon. I do not know what it is but everytime I lift for leg day, my stomach hurts and turns very bad, I get lite headed, and have to take a break. I waited 30 minutes after I ate today, could this be happening because I am not eatting enough?
Uh diet was ok . . .
2179 calories, wasnt really hungry today
80 fat
160 carbs
215 protein
Not too bad.. you see your problems, that's important.
Are you new to weights?
The sick feeling seems kind of common after a brutal workout - just make sure it's not because your literally 'exhausted' and not recovering fully. That could lead to some problems... I've had friends land themselves in a hospital bed for overworking / under eating.

Yea man, I really feel like I am about to pass out, maybe I need to eat more before my workout on leg days. It only happens on leg days. I had to come stright back to my apartment and lay down, to stop the stomach turning, then I got up made my shake and have felt fine the rest of the day. I only had 395 calories at breakfast:/ maybe I need to up that some?

You workout in the AM?
Definitely eat more.. get a lot of good complex carbs pre-workout and a shake 2 seconds to 10 minutes post workout. Then eat another meal within 40-60 minutes after workout.
Imo, those meals are the most important.. pre and post workout.
Once you get those covered - eat as normal for the rest of the day as long as ya fit into your calories and macros.

Make sense?
Yea on MWF I get to the gym for 9 for a class that I am in, so I have to get up early lol, but I will do it and on T and TH I get to the gym around 10, more time to sleep and get my food down. I know you say eatting the same thing everyday gets old and I agree but for breakfast this would be best for me since I am limited time and I can wake up knowing what I am going to eat.
So for breakfast what would be the best thing to eat?

So for breakfast what would be the best thing to eat?
I have 1 cup oats, one scoop double rich chocolate optimum whey, some splenda, and sometimes 1 serving of peanut butter...all mixed together..
Look for instant oats - they microwave in minutes.
Stay away from the single packaged stuff - they're usually small, and full of sugars.
Is what you eat more than the 395 calories I took in this morning tho? If not what else should I add in there to get my calories up so I am not so weak after my workouts?
Do you have an AIM screen name, that would be easier than this? lol

1 cup oats - 300 cals
1 scoop protein - 130ish cals
.. thats 430.
Peanut butter - 200 cals..
that's 630...
Fruit also works good, blueberries, strawberries, bananas..
Well today was really good. It was my off day from weights, which I am glad because I was still a little sore from monday and tuesday. However, I woke up at normal time, around 8am had me a very good breakfast and hit up some cardio for an hour. I felt real good, and was sweating my ass off when I was finished, so I was excited.
As far as the diet goes my breakfast, and PWO meal were good, then I headed back to my parents house because me and my dad were going to go ride our motorcycles. I had a very good club salad from a place by my house, and then later I had some noodles with this meat sauce my dad made. I know it was not the best thing to eat but damn it was good. No cheat meal this weekend lol.
I believe my protein was a little low again, but I am not sure on the amount of turkey and ham that was on that salad, and that meat sauce had lean beef in it, so I think I did ok.
I will be back in the gym tom, and will make sure I hit my protein total for tom. Anyway, cardio felt good, had some good meals today, and got to spend some time with my dad. I can not wait to get back in the gym tom.
I am thinking about doing some HIIT at night time, 5 days a week, would this be wise??
I'd stick with HIIT 3-4x a week max or on OFF-DAYS only.
Make it your only cardio source unless you eat more for the day.
Take some casein pre-bed on days ya think your protein is low.. 1-2 scoops should add 20-40g of protein.
Keep it up.
Yea my casein should be in tom. I will do HIIT on my off days, and just do regular cardio on life days.
Yea I am keeping it up. It just sucks, that you bust ur ass doing your cardio and lifting weights, and you feel great but see nothing lol. I know it takes time, but you know haha.

Thats the key. It takes time.
Start posting your (set)x(rep)x(weight) like my log, ya can really see the weight go up every 1-3 weeks.
Less often when cutting, I think I added weight to my lifts once every 2 weeks on average.
Alright, woke up a while ago had me a good breakfast and will be heading to the gym soon. Today is my upper body day and I will be lifting hard. I will then follow that by 20 minutes of cardio. Anyway, I will be back after lunch or maybe later since I have class
