because you need protein to re-build your muscles once you break them down through weight training. most of the protein should come from real foods, but immidietly after your workout yu need fast digesting protein....and the powder is the cheapest, fastest, most effective way.

Post by: blondmusclhunk on July 24, 2006, 08:14:41 AM: Building muscle will help you loose fat. So concentrate on building muscle with some cardio during the week. Eat healthy no sugars! good carbs no carbs after 7pm! 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight . two servings of glutamine a day

you such a fuckin idiot heracles. creatine helps build muscle by storing extra water in your muscle fibers..... what the fuck does that do too hurt fat loss??? if anything, the extra muscle youll gain from getting stronger from creatine is goig to raise your metabolism...causing more fat loss.

goddamn you stupid son of a bitch i will seriously lay the smack down on your retarded asss....can you smeelllllllllll what CANDIDATE is cooking!!!!!!!! yyyyyyeeeaaaaaahhhhh

Post by: blondmusclhunk on July 25, 2006, 11:44:15 AM: True the only weight youll gain from creatine is some water not fat. Creatine is great for helping strength gains and endurance

Post by: MidniteRambo on July 29, 2006, 12:10:34 PM: Write down everything and I mean everything you consume, keep a running daily tab of calories, fat, protein, carbs and fiber. And weigh yourself every day at the same time and write that down too. Eventually, you will start to see what level of calories/fat/carbs you need to lose weight. These are the tools that allow you to be in control. Without them, it's like driving without being able to see the road, maybe you get to your destination, maybe you don't.
