Bats...

Can I get MusclePharm at a GNC store or any other store in SD? Found it online but would rather buy it now so I can use it.

Thanks...

Most MusclePharm products should be readily available at any GNC.

That's what I woud have thought too but went two GNCs and they didn't have it. Probably because they are pushing their own product. Anyway, found it at a mom and pop nutrition store near my house. Store just opened today.

GNC normally should have it, but I never go there. Back when I was in San Diego I'd go to Vitamin Shoppe and sometimes they'd have it, sometimes they wouldn't.

Takin' my fitness test to get back into the Army tomorrow. I've dropped 40 lbs so far this year and will need to lose another 15-20 eventually. A bit nervous about the run and body fat %. Not really sure what to expect, but it's a step to getting my life back together. All I know is that I'm either passing that run or puking my guts out from tryin.
It's amazing the motivation of hearing your ex tell you that you can't do something.

Re: 2013 FITNESS CHALLENGE

GNC's are notorious for pushing their own products, which are the more expensive products. I remember them trying to sell me on a $60 tub of pre-workout, when most of the market stuff was anywhere between $25-30. They try to draw you to the most expensive Creatines, saying you need to get the most purest form and that creatine mono-hydrate (the standard lower price variant) is bad for you, and hard for your body to process. When in fact I have never had a problem taking mono-hydrate with proper water intake. Glucosomine is one of the cheaper supplements on the market got a bottle for $14 at a local drug store, but at GNC they insisted I buy a $39 dollar bottle that would run out in like 30 days.

I've stopped going there and just stick with Bodybuilding.com's store.

This past weekend I saw an old roommate from school who was pretty big like I was. But he was working on his new fitness life for the past 2 years or so and I hadnt seen his progress. The kid has become a beast. He went from looking like Vader to looking like John Cena. Gave me such a boost of motivation for my own journey. I cant wait to get back to the gym this week!

Re: 2013 FITNESS CHALLENGE

I'm struggling, fellas.

I'm having the same problem I had several months ago before I stopped lifting. Over the past few months I've slowly been adding light weight reps and different excercises to my running, pushups, and situps to put some muscle back on and get stronger.

I'm starting to gain weight again, but I measure the same and If anything I look a little more slim. When I cut from 226 to 208 back towards the beginning of the year, I quit lifting all together and I don't want to have to stop lifting again, but I may have to.

I'm back up to 213 from 208 and I need to stay under 211.

I wish I could find an affordable diet and routine for myself. I've been trying to get stronger and stay conditioned for basic training in November.

My frame can carry 220 and look good, easily.. this is bull **** lol.

If anyone has been through this before and has some tips, let me know. I'm thinking about still keeping my food and calories log, but focus more on cutting out the carbs (breads) from my diet.

As it is, I'm still eating a decent amount of whole wheat bread. It would also probably help if I cut my microbewery beer out I don't drink much beer, but I do have a few from time to time.

While I'm rambling here, It may be worth mentioning I was sitting in the steam room every night back at the beginning of the year. Could that help or is it that mostly a mental thing ? I always felt like it made me sweat, but also dehydrated me.

If you are serious cut out the beer and moms cooking. It sucks but you have to dedicate yourself to it. Mind over everything

I am a fat *** right now. Getting back into that mentality is rough. Social events are also tough.

I would take offense if I was actually fat. I am 15 lbs over what I want to be but still a stud.

I would eat a donut and nobody would judge me

You are a cop right?

I got the joke. I am just saying in not a short chubby belt over the waist bald mustache wearing cop with a bad attitude. Those are the ones who don't need a donut.

The joke isn't about fit cops like myself eating donuts. Which is why I would have no problem eating a powdered donut with aviators on in front of people.
