Give it a go. The stuff is dirt cheap and will help you squeeze out a few more reps.
Start keeping a log of your workouts. Just a text file on your phone which you can punch into something fancy later.

WPI. Creatine monohydrate. That's all you need. The rest you'll be pissing away.
Tally up your daily protein intake which is probably half what you think you're getting and that probably isn't enough to begin with.
People are always getting sucked in by clever marketing. The basics work. Most people are not even getting half a gram of protein per pound of body weight.

Getting protein is easy but you have to think about it a bit. I eat cereal and milk for breakfast and even that high carb meal has 30g protein. Add 40g protein shake after the gym, meat with dinner, and whatever protein snacks I have at work (various nuts, eggs, meats, and cheese) and I prob get ~0.8-1g per pound.

The milk in 2 large bowls of cereal is probably like 20-25 g tops. With RTDs on sale at costco I was getting 60 g a day, but usual is 40. After that, yeah a meat serving, but it better be like half a pound at least.
I'm having 4 bowls of cereal actually just for the fiber and compensating sweet tooth.Last edited by GeneralSerpant; 09-07-2019 at 05:18 AM.

No doubt. I tend not to like whey protein.
At Jamba Juice it is very distracting in the smoothie. I just choose soy protein even though it has 2/3 the amount for the price and just get extra. Doesn't change the taste or texture at all.
Casein on the other hand is very smooth. I've heard it's the sole factor that makes cheese addictive. After I learned that, I remember having had a craving for a protein shake back in the day and realizing that it was a protein blend with casein.

It certainly can be used for betting. There's many different types of leagues and formats. One-week plays are basically exclusively used for gambling. But the skill required to play those is also as minimal as it gets. Regardless of format though, I wouldn't say it's too addicting, since most the games are all on Sunday. During the week you might spend 5-10 mins/day managing your program.

Madden games are great. But I doubt there's anything on there that will help in fantasy football other than possibly (and that's a stretch) helping someone new on draft day. Any metric you want to evaluate is readily available online. And players are all ranked, so even someone that doesn't know what a football is can easily draft a solid team on day 1. From there you either get better or worse

Translation: arguing with some kid posting from his parents' basement was a waste of time so I did everyone a favor and unsubscribed.
Unlike the guy who said he had me on ignore but had no trouble compiling a list of all my posts I haven't checked that thread and probably won't again. There are other places for me to discuss sport but I'd rather use my time more productively so he did me a favor.
Just a text file on my phone for the purpose of tracking PRs. Nothing exciting.
Main exercises I've been doing: plate loaded shoulder press, one-arm DB rows, shrugs, weighted hypers, arms, lateral raises. I'd like to phase in RDLs and incline DB and DB shoulder press again and miss BB rows. With that knee issue I mentioned I've been avoiding all quad dominant exercises but with a lot of hamstring work it's feeling okay now.
I guess the main point is after taking 3 years off I wanted to ease my way back in so if I did the same exercises I used to do ego would probably get the better of me. Back training 8 months and I'd say only the last 2 months have been solid. Many people dismiss the importance of pacing yourself after you've taken a lot of time off. Even if the muscles can take more the connective tissue might not be ready to take a beating.

I admire your dedication Flex. Inspires me a lot. I put in 10 years without missing more than a couple of weeks, then trained sporadically for another 18 months, then nothing for 3 years. I wish I didn't stop but I'd rather look for positives and the break might be having a positive effect now since I feel pretty fresh.
Plate loaded with each side isolated. I've never had any issues using machines for shoulders and I don't really see any advantages to using a barbell assuming the machine feels comfortable. These are the ones I've used: Hammer Strength and Precor.
