    Re: For all you guys wanting to gain muscle, size, etc.

    Yeah, I was never really that out of shape but after I graduated from college I started working in downtown Washington, D.C. and was living the life of a 50 year old business man. It's funny...overnight you go from a college kid playing intramural sports every week, going to the gym with your roommates, walking all day from class to class, exercising to BOOOM all of a sudden you're wearing a tie to work, you're taking the metro, you're sitting in an office all day, you leave home when it's dark...you get home when it's dark. The last thing u want to do is come home and go right back out to the gym.

    I didnt have time for ANYTHING except for work. That was about 4 years ago. Nowadays I feel so much better and although I look the same when dressed, when I take my shirt off the difference is huge. Just tight and muscular everywhere. I felt "soft" before I started working out again. I've been lifting good for about a year now.

    Yeah dude, that little extra layer of fat has to go away eventually, you'd think. I have a 4-pack but the bottom layer of "fat" makes it so that I cant see my lower most abs very much. The area still looks tight and flat but it's not "RIPPED" if u see what im saying.

    For whomever asked...Back when I was trying to get big I was going to GNC and buying Muscletech's CELLTECH and Muscletech's NITROTECH. Nitrotech is a protein shake type thingy and CELLTECH is creatine. They both work better than any supplements I ever bought in my life. But again, depending on your body type you gotta make sure you do some cardio. I wasnt doing any cardio and like I said, all the weight I put on wasnt muscle. I just felt too big after a while and decided to stop. I dropped 15-20lbs in like 2 months buy simply cutting the shakes out of my diet. I stopped lifting as well. The Muscletech products at GNC are very expensive and many people badmouth their products for that reason alone. If you want to spend a little extra cash on something you KNOW is gonna work then go for it. I used to tell ppl i was taking the Cell/Nitro and people used to say "wow thats expensive" or "you're wasting your money....you should buy this instead".

              Any of you guys like fruit a lot? I usually have a banana every morning with my breakfast. Then later on in the day I end up having an apple or two to go with my lunch or dinner. If you guys have never tried a Fuji apple I highly recommend them, best apple in the world.

              How many pieces of fruit should someone have every day?

                Not sure, but Fuji and Granny Smith Apples are the only apples I eat. They are absolutely delicious.

                I also eat quite a few strawberries and raspberries per day... occassionally throw in some watermelon and canteloupe.

                  I generally have 1-2 bananas. I might throw a couple frozen strawberries in a protein shake. I stay away from apples because they are mainly water and sugar, not a lot of nutritional value. I've had a Fuji apple and they are damn good.

                  If you are going to eat sugar, might as well have natural sugar, which is in fruits.

                    If I could all I would eat is pineapples they are so good.

                    Its funny you mention fruit, cause I went to costco that just opened by me and went nuts buying fruit cups, salmon steaks and chicken breasts.

                      I know what you're saying. After I had kids I decided to workout in the early morning so I didn't miss any time with them when they were awake. But 5:00 am workouts sucked. It took all my mental strength to get up and go.

                      But I got a new job 9 months ago and I'm very lucky to have an employer that supplies a top-notch gym. Now I go during my lunch hour. No more early wakeup calls or after-work trips to the gym. It's been great.

                        I try to eat 4-6 peices of fruit a day; plumbs, apples, cherries, grapes, nectorines, peaches, bananas, pine apple, pretty much anything.
                        And you're right, Fuji apples are terrific.

                        I'm not much of a veggie eater either, but I've been forcing myself to eat a vegetable with each meal (except breakfast - it turns my stomach so early in the morning).

                          oh... another fruit that I love, mandarin oranges. I also eat peaches almost daily as well. Fruit is so great.

                            Oh yeah. For all of you talking about having a difficult time to find the motivation to go to the gym, I was fortunate enough to get a place that was within 100 yards of a brand new gym. I am so excited for that. I can go there early or after work without having to worry about travel. July 13th!!!

                              Fruit in a day. I usually go with a few strawberries and a banana at breakfast, and an apple (Gala FTW!) and a peach at lunch. That gets me through the day.

                              100% ON is the best as far as protein is concerned IMO.

                                Too bad there are only a few here in San Diego and the closest two are in Carmel Mountain and Encinitas.
