Thanks for the recommendation... I've eaten crazy amounts of canned chicken here lately, lol. Throw it on some whole wheat bread, and that stuff is crazy good.

Good stuff... i've been eating it for the past 4 years and I still love it!

Goes along perfectly with my nickname too... Chicken Head (don't ask! ).

Is it like canned tuna? I.e. a spread type food?

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

Eh... it's pretty much just chunks of chicken in a can man. It's really tasty. And quick. I throw it in the microwave for around 25 seconds, and then eat.

They have that at a dining hall @ NCSU, lol.

It's decent.

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

Man, for comparison, I've tried Kroger brand, Tyson brand, and Hormel, as well as Sweet Sue or whatever, and they all taste identical. No real quality difference. You're better off buying close to the cheapest

Anybody have a good recommendation for a good protein shake? I'm looking to mixing in bananas, blueberries, etc. and wanted to know what works best for you guys.

I use 100% Whey Protein - Gold Standard Vanilla Ice Cream
taste wise its pretty good. It serves as a good base to work in other flavors with. I mix it with milk and pour it over cereal with bananas and strawberries in the morning and then drink it strait as a snack in the afternoon. Its got great reviews from everything I've heard.

Off topic a little but what exercises do you do for middle chest? I do cable crossovers but I dont see any results, any help?

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

Ummm... I have been doing butterfly press (incline/decline/standard), dips, dumbell press, inverted dumbell press, decline press and something else, but I can't recall.. I'm really starting to see some definition and bulk within my chest. It took a few months, but it's starting to pack on.

Does cardio excercise eat away at fat and muscle or only fat?

I really enjoy dumbell flys.
One thing that you can try is this: at the end of each set, when you can't press anymore, bring the dumbells together and 'squeeze' your chest. Hold this for 30 seconds. Trust me, it'll feel like someone lit a match between your chest.

Doing anything aerobic will never eat away at muscle, just don't go for an hour a day with the treadmill jacked up. Just depends on what your training to do. ie: get lean (ie: skinny and slow :wink or gain size and strength.

Is going about 3 and 3/4 miles in 30 minutes ok if I want to gain size and strength? Also what do you mean by the treadmill being jacked up? How fast are we talking? I'm trying to get bigger which i realize isn't going to happen with the treadmill but it seems like i'm losing weight like crazy.
