Ah cheers hucker

how about if I do cardio after weights?

or would you say cardio isnt necessary?

currently i do weights, 20-30mins of cardio, then hit a protein shake.

Will get cellmass BSN asap

cardio is definitely necessary.
do it right after lifting and take the creatine after the cardio. i meant take creatine as soon after your body stops moving/ working out. so yes, after cardio will be perfectly effective.

ps: before somebody jumps down my throat, im not saying cellmass is the best. it just works the best for me and a lot of people i know and tastes really good

Go get yourself some bulk monohydrate creatine. It will cost you under 10 bucks for 500g of that stuff.

Don't waste your money on cellmass. It's garbage. There was a lawsuit on BSN like a year ago. They claimed to have a patented crazy creatine blend, and then when it was tested it was pure monohydrate creatine.

Take it 7 days a week

Creatine will bloat you up when you are on it. You must take it 7 days a week. Only taking it on workout days does nothing. It flushes out within a matter of days and you need to build an ample amount before you notice that additional 10 pounds on your bench lol.

Went and got Controlled Labs instead.. walked in asking for cellmass but the bloke said controlled labs is much better, cellmass bsn jz has a lot of advertising going for them. Being takin it for a week.. great stuff, and yep taking it 7 days a week.

magnesium creatine chellatt is its primary ingrediant.

I'm a traveling musician and I need some help figuring out how I can get rid of my beer belly while I'm traveling on the road. What foods, what alcohol I can consume without gaining alot of weight and what kind of exercises I could do out of a tour bus?

Alcohol screws up your metabolism for the entire week, so drinking it on a regular basis (once a week is counted) is a no no.

Tuna cans are great choice, and consuming protein shakes act well as a replacement food.

You could always leave a pair of dumbbells on your tourbus and that could give you a few excercises to do.

Many gyms will also give you a free trial

loving this whole post really helps.
basicly ive hit the bench on and off pecs biceps everything on a bench really for 3 months didnt really find an improvement until i stopped and greatly lost muscle and weight just gained more fat really.
Now im looking to get gym membership, sort out the cardio, on diets etc as i got turned down from a football team (soccer) because of it. im 18, 6ft 5 and just wanna be fit for football and think i could get somewhere as a football career.
I've read the previous posts on this topic and can someone give me advice on specifics on what order to work out, cardio, shakes etc etc.

Many thnx

Firstly, read as much information as possible from the net, and magazines. www.bodybuilding.com is a great site for information with training diet supplements.

If you can, purchase a gym membership, and TALK TALK TALK to everyone there. A lot of people in the gym LOVE to give advice tips etc.

Monday - Chest
tuesday - Back
Wednesday - Legs
Thursday - Shoulders
Friday - Arms

IF you want to cut down some extra fat, do 20mins of cardio after every weight training session. (prefrably HIT, google it)

have protein shake after everyday training session.

Drink lots water.

after a few months start with the creatine.

having said that

www.p90x.com is a great program too. look it up,

I'd personally start mainly with compound excersises for a month or more as opposed to more isolation based excersises at the start. Squats, deadlifts, push ups, dips, chin ups, bench 3 (4 at a push) times a week.

That's just my opinion though

I'm a bit confused. Are you looking to train for athletic performance or are you looking to change your physique?

These are two totally different goals, not that both can't happen at once, but before you undergo some sort of fitness routine you should have your priorities straight.

Decide first what it is you are really looking to accomplish by going to the gym. Then construct your fitness program around that.

Also work 2 muscle groups in a split.

cheers peeps im liking the weekly.
Im looking for athlete performance but it the physique shows ill be happy

I'm curious Bushbaby, how much do you weigh? You're a 6'5'' athlete so you have to be pushing 210ish?

Lowery is giving you some good advice. Don't worry about doing isolation exercises like bicep curls, triceps push downs, leg extensions, leg curls. These do nothing for athletic performance and there are even lots of studies showing they do little for physique transformation as well.

What you need to work on are the power movements. In any sport the success of an athletes ability to generate large amounts of force have to do with their hip and leg drive. This means you want a routine that revolves around Dead Lifts and Squats. If you can find a good strength and conditioning coach in your area, get them to teach you some basic Olympic Lifts as well.

As a foot ball player you probably want to spend 3-4 days a week training for power and strength and another 2-3 days a week training for foot speed and agility. Without giving you a full assessment and movement screening it would be impossible for me to write you out a full exercise RX but I encourage you to do some research on a few of the things I've mentioned here. I didn't even get into periodization.

The great thing about training like an athlete though, providing your diet is good, form will follow function. If you have a body that performs well on the field, it will definitely show in your physique.

Hope that helps. I'm more than happy to explain details if you need it.
