I used to heat some water so it would dissolve properly, then cool that water with some more water then drink that shit, but now I just take 1 scoop of creatine put it in my mouth and swallow it down with my water presumably fairly undisolved, should be same shit though right? It's the same, just make sure you're drinking enough water throughout the day. IIRC there's a slight increase in absorption rate if you take it with a fruit juice (grape, apple, etc) due to the simple sugars and the vitamin C, but it's nothing to write home about. | ||

I've been bulking for ~6 months now and want to do a cut. I'm 6'2 about 201-203lbs and bf% is around 18% (judging from eye test comparing to multiple google pics, I'm a little bigger than 15% but not quite 20% imo.) So from reading the stickies in here, best way to go about this is to continue lifting and cut my caloric intake below maintenance? Once I hit 200 lbs I slowed to maintenance and it seems to be about 3500 calories a day (estimate, I don't have a scale at the moment so I don't know exactly.) So my questions are: How many calories below maintenance do I cut per day? Is it ok to do a little cardio at the same time? I neglected it while bulking and would like to start again say 2-3 times a week for 10-15 minutes of jogging? Dunno if there is an answer to this but how long would it take to get to say ~10% bf given my stats above? Should I get a scale to be able to count calories more accurately? Any foods I should be cutting out or limiting? My diet is usually 2 meals of meat (beef/pork/chicken), some pasta/rice/potato and veggies + 1 meal of ~8 egg whites with veggies in an omelette with a chicken breast/pork chop/whatever meat on the side. Snacks usually have ~800 calories of mixed raw nuts and sunflower seeds with a few chocolate chips for taste, sometimes pack a granola/cereal bar and piece or 2 of fruit in my lunch. Also ~2L of 1% milk every day and ~2L of water also. | ||

You've got it backwards: Conventional is more posterior heavy and sumo are somehwat more anteriorly focused. The common wisdom is that taller people with long shins do sumos because conventional deadlifts are harder to get off the ground, but it seems like you'd want to do both at some points to work on weaknesses. | ||

There are accessories you can add to the routine but it's best to start with the basics and build onto it than start with too much. Three exercises for 5x5 might not seem like much, or even feel like much at first, but once you really start pushing your limits it can take a good hour to complete. | ||

It covers all major muscule groups? If so I will try it out thanks | ||

This reply is so awesome <3 TLHF When would be the optimal time to do the rehab work? I'm supposed to be doing rehabilitation exercises for my right shoulders' rotater cuff. I usually: warm up, do some rehab, lifts, do some more rehab, do some stretch & then leave Should it be done before and/or after the whole workout or just before and/or after the shoulder exercises? Or should rehab not be performed on lifting days? | ||
