So is stretching, that's something that cannot be stresed enough. I've seen quite a few people not bother stretching before and AFTER and complain about being sore. Stretching is a big part of my warm up and cool down.

My last full year of competitive hockey, I was pulling out full splits. After hockey I got lazy and stopped doing much for about 8 months. Currently I can go down to about 3 inches above the ground.

So I take it off the rest, I go down for the squat and try to push up and I just keep going down lol. I'm like O SHIT, lucky for me there was a bar that comes out so I just went down low enough so it was resting on that and I crawled out from under it lol.

Have you guys ever had a experiance where you couldnt do the weight and it almost/did come down on you?

My junior year of college we were doing squat maximum tests, and I tried to put up 500 lbs. I got about halfway up and then had to drop the bar. I later did 400, which was still pretty awesome.

Does drinking alcoholic drinks or smoking cigarettes ruin your body muscle wise?

Yes. I know alchohol does, I cant really say why, but cigarettes have nicotine which is a catabolic substance.

Ordered my stuff today off bodybuilding.com. Got Optimum 100% Whey Protein in the delicious strawberry flavor and Cell-Tech Hardcore Creatine Monohydrate in the blue raspberry flavor. Hopefully these will help with my bulking

When you guys make your protein do you toss some icecream or anything in the blender with it? Do you guys think that putting that in there would be bad?

I normally put two scoops or protein, some icecream, milk, yogurt and some frozen fruit in. Is that good for a shake?

Ice cream? Are you serious?

Put in bananas or oats. Not some fattening fucking ice cream, son. Oats are as far as I'd go but bananas aren't bad either.

You just wanting calories with it Rated? If so it doesnt matter what you pack in there it seems. Dump some Capt Crunch in it if you wanted to.

I don't drink basic protein shakes, mine generally consist of a normal serving of cytogainer plus 3 or 4 raw eggs and sometimes uncooked oats for quality carbs. No hershey's chocolate syrup on mine, unfortunately.
