Lifting weight and supplements



Recommended Posts

I've been working out now 13 weeks now and ive been drinking my Protein Shakes atleast 5 to 6 a day at 30 grams of Protein each. I work on my chest,legs,back and shoulders and of course cardio but i want to know is anyone taking anything like animal pak or creatine to help bulk up. I just started animal pak today but i was on a Vitamin pack from 6 star and that helped a little, please help

I've heard of Animal Pak, but I'll have to be honest, I'm not completely sure what it is. But I do take creatine for a few months at a time. On days I lift, I take it right after my workout. On days I don't lift, I take it first thing in the morning. I can't tell that creatine helps me tremendously, but I think it probably does maybe help me get about an extra rep each set, and it's fairly inexpensive, so it's worth it to me. That's about the only extra thing I take in addition to what most of the other sleevers take.

I take the NOW Sports Creatine when I take it. If you do a member search for "Mark!" (I think that's the correct name), he can tell you a lot about the supplement, benefits and how to take it. He seems pretty knowledgeable on the subject and can probably answer some specifics for you. Good luck!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
