wuzzzer Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 This Tuesday will mark the start of the 9th week that I've been on the South Beach diet along with an exercise program. I'm 5'10" and at the start of the diet I weighed 206.5 pounds with very little muscle. As of last Tuesday I weighed in at 187! A few days before I started the diet I started an exercise program consisting of free weights, situps, leg exercises and cardio. I can tell a huge difference in muscle definition in my arms and legs and stomach. I'd guess that I've lost between 2-3" in my waist since the suits I wear to work are huge on me now and I'll have to get them tailored. My goal is to get to 180 by the end of the year and I don't foresee any problems doing that. On a more controversial note, I just bought a 5 pound jar of creatine muscle building supplement. I did a lot of research on it and there were a lot of positive comments and only very minor negative comments. It will be interesting to see how much it will affect my weight loss and muscle gain. I think a 5 pound jar usually lasts about 2 months, so it will be a good amount of time to measure the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice - stir quick, hold your nose, and drink fast. Not exactly the most soluable mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly the most soluable mix. Fortunately this is a fruit flavored brand that actually tastes good. You're right about the stirring, it doesn't mix too well.

wuzzzer Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 Why use it at all???.................. "In weightlifting, since one would be able to perform at a high intensity rate for a longer period of time, this would translate into an increase in reps. Therefore, theoretically, because you can do more reps during a workout, your workout will be more productive and a higher degree of protein synthesis (the building of muscle) will be stimulated. Also, creatine pulls extra water into the muscles and because of this it is theorized that this extra water can stimulate further protein synthesis. Mostly, however, the exact mechanisms and beneficial effects behind creatine supplementation are not fully understood. During sprinting, one would be able to hold their highest intensity rate for a longer period of time." Helps burn fat faster and gain muscle quicker. I think its a pretty good reason.

Jay481985 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 keep up the good work. Also if you want to gain muscle, less reps more weigh. For lean tone look more reps less weights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
