For BG fitness fanatics, a question..

[Weiing]

weiing doesnt eat peanut butter because she is retarded

I actually do... Couple days ago, I ate 2 tablespoons plain (just on a spoon) to barely reach my fat intake >_>

[Atreides]

mmm i love it just plain too, I actually use a tablespoon (with a long handle, I bought it just to reach the bottom of the PB jar) and then a small sundae spoon to eat little bites out of the scoop.

also if anyone wants to spend 5 bucks for a jar of PB, this shit is unfuckingbelievable:

Usually $5.49 a jar at whole foods but worth every penny, tastes like snickers and isn't much worse for you than regular PB in terms of calories, very few ingredients too (evaporated cane juice instead of sugar etc)

Damn that does look delicious. Reminds me of when I used to eat PB and nutella sandwiches like crazy.

[Weiing]

@Atreides

OH MY GOD That stuff is soooooooo good. You can usually find it at Kroger/Ralphs, too. I once got a coupon for it...so it went down to $3.60 or something.

Mmm. You make me want to get some now.

Also, Maranatha (spell check) also makes chocolate PB and chocolate Almond butter. But... Peanut Butter & Co is still way better than those.

You should try holding your legs in front of you, parallel to the floor (like an L shape). Really works your core while you do pull-ups, too. I'm a pansy and can't do it...but my fiance, he can do it.

Is actually how I do pull ups, since most places, the bar is too low for me to begin with. Though I cant do perfectly straight legged, very rough on my knee to be held straight out still after my accident.

To each their own... It didn't taste like snickers to me. It tasted more like sex...yes. pure chocolate peanut butter sex. Yes. SPread the word though.

[Atreides]

idk if this is a new deal or just something I noticed today, but BB.com has a pretty sweet deal on Optimum Nutrition products. 5 lbs of whey, 2 lbs of casein, and a free 90-count bottle of Opti-men Multivitamins, for $68.98 total. The vitamins are technically only 12 bucks on their own, but it's still a decent deal.

I don't need casein currently so I went with my huge 10lb whey bag, but figured I'd pass it along.

Yeh I got that 3-pack, it's not new. Double Rich Chocolate Whey = meh. Banana Cream Casein = fucking toothpaste/bubblegum taste. I'm just gonna stick with fuckin'.. vanilla Casein and I'm tempted to try the peanut butter whey, goddamnit I love peanut butter.

Edit: The multivitamins are awesome, I've got two of 'em so far. My poor AnimalPak isn't gathering dust, lol.

[Atreides]

really? I've been drinking the double rich chocolate whey for a while now, I really like it. I know a lot of people really like the vanilla whey though, maybe you should try that. I will say that their chocolate casein is really good, IMO better than the vanilla casein, although remember that with that you need at least 10oz of liquid instead of 8 to prevent grittyness.

[Kiro]

I love the Vanilla Whey because I can make a bunch of different shakes w/ it (peanut butter + banana or a berry one, etc etc). If you say the chocolate one is good I'll try that one out, but the Banana Cream one is just.. bad. I have to force myself to drink it sometimes, and even then I just chug it.

I'm kinda curious about the strawberry flavored whey ones too. There's just so many damn flavors, I wanna try 'em all.

[Atreides]

i mean the grittyness doesn't bother me if you mix it really well and use plenty of cold milk/water, but I think the chocolate flavor for the casein is actually a richer more chocolately flavor than the Double Rich Chocolate whey. The vanilla is good too, don't get me wrong, but I felt like the chocolate casein tastes more like chocolate milk and the vanilla casein tastes good but a bit chemically.

I've been making shakes with the Double Rich Chocolate whey for so long I never really thought to try anything else. Normally I do PB+Banana which goes great with chocolate (even though it's not that chocolately) but being able to do vanilla with berry and other fruit-related shakes is a great idea, too bad I just ordered 10 lbs of chocolate lol.

[Kiro]

Vanilla is just a safe bet across the board usually, lol. You can do whatever you want with it most of the time.

Hemp Protein is pretty good too. It's only about 10-11g of protein per scoop though. It's got almost no flavor to it so you can add it to anything just to get extra protein intake.

Gah, I switched to ON's multis too. Was also taking AnimalPaks before I started using ON and that shit was fucking awful. I took them all because I didn't want to waste them, but jesus, there's like what, 14 pills? Seems like total THIS PACK ISN'T FOR PUSSIES WHO CARES IF YOU LOST COUNT advertising, yet seemingly everyone swears by them.


I've only tried vanilla ice cream and double rich chocolate in the whey variety, but I like both. Kind of tempted to try some of the other flavors, but I haven't really heard much about anything but those two flavors.

Those multivitamins on steroids really make much of a difference? They seem pretty damn expensive compared to the generic multi im taking. Guess the additional B Vitamins is kinda nifty, among other things.

Also, I've just been using Whey but I'm starting to realize the need for casein...when do you guys typically use it though? I was thinking like before I sleep would be the most obvious, idk if that is normal though.

Oh and the forearm/grip workouts have definitely helped with my grip strength. Never did get wrist straps (I can't find them in any stores, shoulda just ordered online..at this point though, meh) but I went forever without gloves, glad I finally picked some up. My hands were getting raped on my back day w/o gloves lol.

[Atreides]

ya, cottage cheese is like 80% casein so you can eat that before bed like residue said, but since Casein is a slower-digesting protein people drink it before they sleep to make sure they have protein for longer during the night.

and I have those same callouses on my hands, just below the fingers.

I've been working on my grip and forearm strength too, I want it to be that the only thing I ever have to use is chalk.

If you say so Wei, I'll have to go get some!

Just an update from me, not much to contribute. Still doing my 5 days a week. Last weigh in was 217 or so, a few weeks ago. This week, 212. I can't believe I'm a couple lbs away from being under 210. Will be 40 lbs I have lost. Still got a bit of a belly to work on, but it's disappearing. I can really tell now. I used to wear everything XXL. That stuff is massive on me now. Even regular XL stuff is getting big on me now. It's a great feeling. I was considering getting rid of most of my big clothes so I won't fit back into them and stay motivated to keep working out.

I've never considered myself to be a really great looking guy or anything, but I was out with a bunch of girls last night, 5 of which I never met. The one I knew from work (who I'm trying to get with) was telling me that all the girls were telling her that I was really cute. Another great feeling, and motivation to keep on going with what I'm doing. Just figured I'd share!

[richardd]

dude, thats awesome. keep doing it man. its one of the best lifestyles you can ever give yourself
