EPTFor Levistus. Decent blog about preparing a week's work of healthy meals in 1 hour. I use a system kinda like this. Where I pick a day or two during the week and cook a bunch of shit and then just put it in the fridge so I can reheat it as necessary.

I've never been one to take many supplements. Not for any specific reason other than that there's just a ton of information out there that I have not really had the chance to educate myself on. And either way I'd tend to stay away from complicated things. Also a lot of the stuff can get pricey. BUT, my brother gave me a container of this. http://www.a1supplements.com/Iso-Mass-Xtreme-Gainer-10-Lbs.-p-17009.html saying that this is what he takes. Usually at a "dosage" of 1 or 2 scoops a day instead of the package recommended 3 scoops = 1 serving. Anyway, knowing next to nothing about supplements I am naturally skeptical. And would like to understand pros and cons of this product. Honestly, as far as my knowledge goes it seems to have a lot of perceived "good" things in it. (fish oils, BCAA compounds, whatever other words I've heard associated with proper supplement intake) The packaging seems to represent all these beneficial ingredients well as a blend. However, I get the feeling that there's some sort of stigma attached to some of these products. I guess I really have a few questions. Aside from the fact of whether or not these product blends are necessary at all; what are the pros (if any) and cons? Is this an effective way to get certain supplements? Are any products of this nature even good at all? Or is it safer/more worthwhile to just take supplements on an individual basis, like a fish oil pill, or BCAA, B vitamin compound whatever. I would like to try and educate my brother about it if I knew how. He's one who tries every new damned thing on the market while I'm one to be distrustful of everything and therefor shun it. Or at least be wary of it until I've studied it. | ||

stuff like simple supplements are great the ones you're wary of are the "unproven" chemicals that "supposedly" help, or "probably" help | ||

I tried to take fish oil for a while last year, but sometimes my breath did smell so terrible (plus horrible taste in my mouth while burping) that I stopped. | ||

I've always had problems with cramps in my legs, (especially cramps in the calf while I'm sleeping, big fun) and magnesium makes that go away for me. Though by now I definetely found a correlation between the quality of my diet and the occurence of the cramps, the body is still the best warning system out there. I tried to take fish oil for a while last year, but sometimes my breath did smell so terrible (plus horrible taste in my mouth while burping) that I stopped. Shouldn't you be eating more potassium, not magnesium, to help muscle cramps? I've managed to keep eating a banana every few days and those consistent night calf cramps I used to get haven't been around in over a year. | ||

Bench: 77,5kg 5-5-5 (still very easy) Deadlift: 190kg x 5 (PR) 215kg x 1 (PR) Had a very crappy day, so I definitely needed a good workout. I have to say at the moment I feel really strong and confident in the gym, (and the quality of my squat workouts correlates highly with my confidence). Also, this morning my blood sugar was below 100 and only at 120 after the workout (typ II diabetic), so that was very good too. | ||

All I can say is that magnesium works for me, don't know if potassium is supposed to be better. But I am not gonna change a working system  | ||

@Catch: Curling is actually making my arms explode. Which is nice since they were quite lagging. @MajinMojo: The only thing you really need to look at in gainers is the carb/protein ratio. In your case it looks quite nice 80c/65p (mine has 250c/50p lol). All that other stuff they add to it is just in tiny portions and probably wont have any significant effect. I love being able to chug down 1400cals in less than 5 minutes after a workout or to have something in case I forget to eat or not feeling like it. But it is expensive. @Malinor: You still continue to amaze me. Keep up the great work. Get that damn camera. I want to see you in action Today's workout: Week 1, cycle 2 of 3/5/1 Flat Bench: 65kg x 3, 72,5kg x 3, 82,5kg x 3, 90kg x 1-1 and 92,5kg x 1 OHP: 57,5kg x 5-5-5 +2,5kg PR on the OHP. Slow and steady working on the bench. I just want to blast past that 100kg barrier TT...patience will be key here. @decaf: getting closer to 100kg bw? | ||

Ah no way I thought you were my weight o.O 80 kg. I guess I just assumed from watching your videos. Without anyone to compare you to I probably just assumed you were my size  . Sorry for the misplaced compliment, I'll have to save it for when you get 100kg  | ||

I have one semester left to go and I think I will try to concentrate on weightlifting. I am failing in getting internships so I think this is a better decision. :D My coach thinks I can break into the top 5 in the next year or two in my weight class. | ||

I'm sure it'll help (not like I'll stop doing them either), but it still sucks. I'll probably enjoy tricep work more, I just feel dumb when I curl haha. Also, rack pulls = incredibly sore traps. I could barely get my arms back on squat because their so sore. Edit: Getting a fooooood scale tomorrow! haha | ||
