I wish I can help you with the supplements... I got some Flaxseed Oil and I have protein powder but its crap... Looking at getting Cytolean as a fat burner. I have not used any as of yet so sort of going with what works so far

Uhhh Supplements, Diet-Training..... is that better?

I'm with you on this one... I haven't used much either.... I did take T3 and Muscle Milk- protein shake and its pretty good. The T3 I feel like it didn't do anything but cost me money!!! I don't know.. I guess thats why I'm trying to find out what might work for ME....

The problem is you won't know until you try it, what works for someone might not work for someone else... It's trial and error! I know next time I am buying a better tasting protein LOL

Yeah I know... I'm with you on the good tasting protein... I've only tried Vanilla and so far thats a winner for me!...lol

[blsmith]

Mine was strawberry the brand was horrible

The best protien out there hands down is ON anywhey it's tasteless so you can mix it in anything...including soups ect you even bake with it...their regular flavored protiens are good to..buy anywhey the best all the way.

I like to take it and blend with danactive light and fruit.

Uh no...Im talking about getting your diet and training in order before you even think of supplements (other than maybe a protein powder, multi vitamin and fish oil) Loading yourself up with fat burners and such is going to be a big waste of money if you dont have diet and training in check. Also, when you say T3 you are not talking about thyroid hormones are you? You can seriously harm yourself if you do not know what you are doing with such compounds.

Listen everyone, I am going to lay this all out for you. At this stage in the game you should be spending your money on good quality food. Until you nail your diet and training down 110% you will see no benefit from spending your money on fat burners. Yes there are some that can help to a certain degree, but these are best left until you have gone as far as you possibly can and feel you need a little extra something. You are not at this stage yet IMO. Furthermore, if you have been using T3/Cytomel and can speak so casually about it, you are obviously not educated enough about supplements to begin purchasing. You need to research everything and anything about any given supplement you are going to choose to put into your body. There are compounds out there that can hurt you if misused. There are others that are simply a waste of hard earned money. Baby steps here. Work with your diet. Work with your training. Educated yourself about supplements and then integrate them on an as needed basis.

Thanks for the constructive criticism?.. Ill just keep on my diet and training!!!

I think I understand what your saying...

Also I am taking T3, the thyroid hormone... for me it is EXTREMELY hard to lose weight, (even with good diet/exercise) I know that when your thyroid gland isn't working correctly/sluggish it slows down your metabolism and its harder for you to lose weight… in fact if I look at food I gain.. I can gain about 8lbs in a week if I don’t watch what I eat… yet to lose weight I have to be extreme... therefore I bought the T3 ... Please tell me what I’m doing wrong… or saying?

Not criticism, just advice from my own experience/success/failures over the years

[keeganfrank]

I would be honored to be in on the action, as long as none of the other contestants mind if I am. What all do I do? Do I just have to post pics and my stats once a week?

Hey if you want to join us in this contest Frank feel free, I could use another man and in fact we can call this a social experiment, we would have a Canadian man, a Canadian woman, an American woman, and with you an AMerican man! LOL

Quoted from above:

Brian and I have decided to do the following:

Weekly Photos
Measurements Every 3 Weeks
Post every workout

We are also having a mini challenge within this one.
It will be a Standard (modified is okay too for anyone else who may want to join in) Pushup Challenge.

It will start on April 6-7th and will be for the duration of our challenge.
We will be posting a video of us doing pushups on the first day of this challenge.
We will verbally communicate on here with how things are coming along. The 2nd and last video will be posted on the last day of our challenge - showing our accomplishments

Advice well taken, the only reason I was even considering Cytolean was because I have a good friend that was in the bb.com transformation and she said that it worked really well for her. I am close to getting the diet to where I want to be but not quite, just a little tweaking but I am getting professional help with that. Soon I will be rocking and rolling with my diet

[keeganfrank]

Cool man, sounds like fun. I can't promise I will post every workout but I'll try to do that too. Is the 'winner' whoever loses the largest percentage/increases by the greatest percentage of pushups?

Well although we have said this is a contest, there is no prize set aside so in reality, we all win in the long run with lower weight and fat and stronger bodies. It was meant to keep us in check and keep up the great work however, if we all want to get a more serious contest with some sort of prize I am up for that too.

Sounds good. I just want to be sure everyone realizes where the real results come from: diet and training. I was also a bit concerned over the use of T3. This can really screw a person up or cause serious injury if use improperly. IMO it should be left alone. I have used and use a variety of supplements from time to time, but I have taken the time to learn more about myself, my diet and my training. Not to mention, I never expect miracle results from any supplement I choose to use. 95% of the time I stick to the basics...
