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!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
