Depends on when your most recent meal before you hit the gym was. If you had a big meal 1-2 hours before working out, then don't drink it PreWO and only PostWO. But if it was longer than that, or it wasn't big, then drink 15g PreWO along with 15g PostWO. I always mix non-fat milk in with my protein shake when I'm taking it Pre or PostWO. The fat in milk slows down digestion and you want your body to utilize the proteins as fast as possible. Milk not only add extra whey protein in addition to your shake, but the casein in it will digest slowly for about 2 hours or so after you drink it.

You don't want to drink milk IntraWO. You need simple carbs during work out for energy so you can pump out sets stronger and for endurance. Drinking milk during your workout is pointless, and not to mention it will make you want to throw up if you're doing squats or leg presses.

what i like? I don't have to look gay in a singlet hahahaha

[The Captain]

hmmmm, i could make the 148 if i take a big dump beforehand. My max is 245.

How's it set up?

feet stay on floor, butt must stay on bench.

you unrack weight with help, lower the bar touch chest, WAIT FOR THE COMMAND TO PRESS, then lift. once locked out, you wait for the command to rack the weight.

belt and wrist wraps are allowed.

something fun to try. I would be in 265+ but might weigh in the night before alose the 8-10 lbs to get into 242lbs.

[The Captain]

Hmmm, i'll have to try it out next time i'm at the gym. See how well i could do.

Realistically, what are people benching you think in the lower weights?

being its a non sanctioned event- i think its anyone who wants to try at it and have fun.

if you go to real feds in raw you will see surprising numbers.
remember to make 148 you need to be below 165 lbs.

i'd say 245 is decent- but it's hard for me to find a comparable number since raw and shirted bench numbers are mixed up but if you see a guy who's 148 and benching over 400+ its definately a shirt hahaha

Any suggestions for protein other then Whey to avoid being bloated? Ive heard like goat protein or something?

My Works outs consist of cycling No-xplode and Superpump 250 (my favorite) aka superdump ha...Cell Tech Hardcore Creatine...

I use to use a waxy during working such as volumize but i would feel to full and it would actually hurt my workout...

I have not been taking my Whey due to the bloated feeling and look i get from it and just trying to supplement higher protein foods into my diet (but i know this is going to hurt)

you're probably bloated also because it can contain lactose in the protein powders. try taking a lactase enzyme right before drinking a shake to see if that helps. Whey and casien both are derived from milk... You could try soy

you should take waxy maize post workout to help absorb protein.

[SvicksTc]

I was just taking a casien at night to see if that helped throughout the day but i was still bloated...

Any suggestions on the enzyme? And i guess ill try soy out when i go home this week from school...

But anyone heard of like a Goat Milk Protein it is suppose to be lactose free

but no store around me carries such a protein? Anyone personally try it?

Right now im just trying to bulk up and then cut in a few months

i've been slacking big time the last many many months. i hate the cold and i've been using that as an excuse to be lazy.

So, in order to keep myself motivated i've started to keep track of my workouts on my website. http://kennethdavid.net/exercise/calendar still a lot of work i want to do to get things to display the way i want. like when you click on the exercise name you get a blank page with the exercise name... how lame, i want to see a list of my days w/ reps so i can track progress per exercise as well as see it on this calendar view. Eventually i'll be including a weekly picture to visually track my progress as well. And perhaps a "notes" section added to the reps so i can document how i felt after each set. IE: i felt great after doing my seated triceps extensions b/c i'm still where i was when i stopped months ago. I'm proud of chest even though i took a huge step back, but i know i'll gain it all back in a few weeks, etc

Don't have time to work on that part this morning though... figured i'd share how i'm going to stay motivated.
