Weightlifters got a ? for ya

Eric4Nitrous · 09-04-2002, 09:38 PM

Are their any new supplements out there that actually works besides creatine?? I'm getting back into weightlifting/powerlifting again. I use to be able to bench 336 9 times and squat close to 560. Now i want to be get back into it again and get bulked up. Any workout suggestions?? thanks.

LxMustangRacer · 09-04-2002, 10:17 PM

geez, if you were benching 339 and squating 560 I'd say that whatever you were doing before was working good enough. I'm an advocate of bulking up through a healthy diet and hard work, there's no need for supplements if you're eating right. But then again, when I stopped lifting in january my squat max was 300 lbs, and I'm not even going to mention my bench numbers. You could probably curl that much. To answer your question I haven't heard of any new supplements.

Yea bro just do what you were doing before. Unless you want to be looking like arnold.

I've heard a lot of good things about POS (Performance Optimizer System) 5.

later

Eric4Nitrous · 09-05-2002, 09:22 AM

Well i'm the same size now that i was back then. I just need the definition back. I started a pretty good diet a while back but didn't stay with it. But now i'm gonna try it again and see how i do. I used hydroxycut with pretty good results. But it makes you hungry all the time. I'm gonna get back into the gym sometime soon and start working out again.

My personal advice is to stay away from the suppliments. Simply eat more smaller high-carb meals and try to avoid the fattier choices of carbs.

You never really know the long-term effects of different "natural" products sold at GNC. For example, you might wind up with large calcium deposits or only god knows what 15 years later.....

jimberg · 09-05-2002, 10:46 AM

How long ago was "back then"? How old are you now? Muscles have memory and it doesn't take long to get back to where you were unless you are significantly older. If you're over 35 and back then was mid-20's, it is a good bet that your testosterone levels have dropped quite a bit. Back when I was 23 or so,
I started lifting again and went from benching a pathetic 225 to benching 385 in about 6 months. My max in high school was 240 which was the last time I seriously lifted.

Eric4Nitrous · 09-05-2002, 11:06 AM

I'm 31 now, and "back then" was when i was 27. So it's been 4 years.

jimberg · 09-05-2002, 11:20 AM

You'll be fine then. Screw the supplements.

Dark_5.0 · 09-05-2002, 11:21 AM

I am not the biggest guy and I dont work out as much as I use to but, I max 300 on bench and 400+ sqaut.

I need to start working out again too. I was 6ft 215 lbs solid just 2 years ago.

Now I am starting to get a gut and weigh almost 230 lbs. I am 26 yrs old getting old sux.

I liked the results I got with Creatine.

Later,

WTF kind of hydroxycut were YOU taking???

Its supposed to curb your appetite, and it worked for me...

The Deuce · 09-05-2002, 01:33 PM

Sounds like it was rolled into a J.

Actually all that stuff has speed in it (well not really) but it should speed up your metablosism, and make you not hungry. Were you cutting back the caloric intake too far while taking it?

Eric4Nitrous · 09-05-2002, 01:46 PM

Yes i cut my calorie intake wayy back. But the hydroxcut that i was taking made me hungry all the time. I know that it's not suppose to but it did.

Actually it does. Ephedrine is the main ingredient in Methamphetamines. Taking too much Ma Huang and not eating over long periods of time is a sure fire recipe for a premature heart attack, stroke, or even pyschosis in some cases. You know what they say...everything in moderation!
