Pretty common knowledge that fruit/fruit juice does this. Its one of those foods you think are healthy but its secretly the reason your weight loss or cut plateaus
Fruit has other benefits , you just have to balance out the good with the bad
Fruit > Juice tho

Not matter if you are bulking , cutting or maintaining .... sugar is always your worst enemy ( too much of it anyway )

It's just like anything else , all in moderation its good
Drink a glass or 2 of orange juice a week isn't going to ruin your life

On a cold Friday afternoon, I had come home from school. I had been thinking of the gym all day. I was hungry, didn't have any lunch. In fact, I didn't eat because I spent the money. For the past month I was saving up for something. Something special which I bought at GNC. I was surprised they didn't ask for ID; I was pretty sure the cashier noticed how nervous I was. Anyways, my mom asked my how my day was when I got home, but I ignored her. I have more important things to do. I run to the bathroom and unpack my bag. In my school bag is a white plastic bag from GNC. I open the bag, first removing the receipt and flushing it down the toilet to get rid of the evidence. My heart was racing now. I unpack the creatine monster from the bag.

I wonder what people will be asking me when they see that I will be 50lbs heavier. Should I say I was just eating a lot? I remove the label from the tub and tear it into a thousand small pieces. I flush that down the toilet, too. It is time now. I run up to my room when my mom ask me what I am holding. I panic, sweat drips down my forehead and my teeth chatter. "Mom, it's just for a school project". "What project?" "I don't know mom I just started it!". A tear runs down my cheek. I run upstairs and open the creatine, scooping upservings into a clear water bottle. What have I gotten myself into? I fill it with water and drink it. There is no turning back now. The creatine monster is inside me now, it will control me. What should I do if I die? I cant let my family know about this.

I open the creatine tub and throw it all out the window; a white cloud of mysterious dust sparkles into the wind so graciously. I feel the substance taking control of me; I am now the monster. I walk downstairs, its time to work out; time to get big. Now I worry, I don't want to get too big; people will think I use steroids. I do use steroids. No I don't. Creatine. All I see is the weights now, I am almost downstairs when I hear "Do you want a cookie I just baked". I know I do not have time for this **** now. "No mom I do not want a cookie" I walk in the basement and drop to my knees before the weights, tears running down my cheeks. I turn to the right and look at myself in the mirror. Oh god, what have I done?

Nothing wrong with supplements. Creatine, protein, beta-alanine, citruline, and caffeine can really help you get a little more from your workout.

Cavemen were on there feet all day, and performing manual labor to survive. You have no idea what they looked like.

do you even lift, phag? grab a cheeseburger.

Biking is my workout of choice. Add in some light weight-training a few times a week, and I'm pretty happy.

hi guys, first time in this thread (I think) just want some advice here. I've got a 3 year millitary service which starts in July, except I'm not as "big" or "bulk" as I would like to be. I had a few month membership for a nearby gym but it's very expensive and I'm wondering if going and doing "around the house" stuff will have the same effect or will I have to find a way to get a renewed membership? By "around the house" stuff I mean- pushups, situps, maybe getting myself a chin-up bar in the doorway when I enter the room, possibly pushups with a bag on my back with books, runs around the area... What I'm asking is will I get the same effect or do I need to go to machinery in gyms?

Thanks in advance.

Hey can anyone please answer this question I need some clarification with.

When using a barbell let's say you have 25lbs on each side, does that mean you're lifing 25lbs or does it count as 50?

Shit, it's often a debate I have with some colleagues amd I finally want to put ot to rest. A lot of them keeo insisting it's 25lbs (think of it as holding a 25lb dumbell in each hand) but I insist it's 50 cause well, duh, 25+25=50.

Anyway, why I also ask is because when doind the bench press 50lbs is light. I could do like 15-20 reps with it. But when doing barbell curls I can barely do 3 reps. Is that normal? It makes me wonder if my bench press technique is wrong.
