Better be a good one then to take me down. Unless you're a doctor please refrain from giving me advice on caffeine consumption. Or any for that matter health related.

I'll take my doctors advice over yours. Perfectly safe for me. I noticed you're not one for detail either. Notice how I said sometimes? Yea... GG on comprehension.

You determined that off of text? Sketchy.

Banded pushups. We had to do these in Quantico when i was at the fbi academy and training. Get a medium resistance band, put it around you and put your hands on the front piece of the band. get down to do a normal pushup, and when you push UP, the tension will force you down. Even if you can only do 5... you'll have that…

Drink water = flush sodium out. There is no "recommended", well, there is, I think it's like 2500. Unless you're diagnosed by a doctor to have a problem with sodium don't worry about little minuscule things. On my refeed days I have over 10,000g. I'm still alive.

Clearly you are bashing. Her food intake was never brought up, at all. She asked for a pre-workout, not advice on her overall macro-nutrient consumption. Again, we all know food intake is important to performance. Anyone with a baseline knowledge in athletics knows this unless you're literally declared mentally retarded.…

Here man. It's a good read and an even better program. I've been on it for over 3 years: https://www.t-nation.com/workouts/531-how-to-build-pure-strength

So you're going to run wild assumptions based off of text, and what you perceive in your city. Just because you had a personal experience with iron deficiency doesn't mean we all have health issues or a bad diet. I'm an FBI cop, and have health and blood tests done regularly. I'm fine. And some days I feel tired, or like…

Sleep, diet, and food choices have very little to do with how you might "FEEL" on ... Xday. OP never said her performance was lacking... she just needed a boost of energy, and if she's caffeine sensitive, a preworkout might be the key. Even if it's a placebo effect, and it works, terrific. You're going into left field on a…

Are you following a percentage of your 1RM? This is why I like Wendler 5/3/1, and hate SL and PHUL. Sure you might get stuck if you are following a percentage. If so, go back in weight for a few weeks and see how it

100 every couple weeks? Who does that? A preworkout is 30 tops. Sure... Some *kitten* companies claim to make you jump 509473727 feet and lift 18473lbs. But reputable ones without blends (Tier 1), and even the testing results per ingredient (Tier 1) are fantastic and help in ways a diet alone cannot. Is it needed, no. Will…

I weigh raw. Most packages are raw weight unless specified.

Exactly. I take the exact same (Tier1). There's a huge benefit to those that a lot of novice lifters and people who don't compete, fail to understand.

I had 4 impacted removed a few years ago. Shakes, smoothies, yogurts, and puddings. Make smoothies with some banana, oats, peanut butter and some chocolate whey. Easy big calories. If you really want to step up your game, go buy some strawberry pop tarts... throw a pack of 2 in a blender with milk, strawberries, and…

Ah. I looked it up and it looks like it involves a lot of pressure on wrists for several movements in the program. Wrap your wrists... I wrap mine for everything because they are weak as hell.

Yes, it's normal. If you're lifting heavy and doing cardio, plus your job (if you move a lot) 2300 is normal. I'm a police officer and I do foot patrols instead of sitting in my suv all day, then go lift, then walk some more with my wife and daughter at the park. I'm sitting at 3050 calories and losing.

What do you mean by "boot camp"? Like actually military boot? Or some gimmicky workout routine?

Do both. Start off doing your weights, then do 20-30 mins of cardio. If it's nice, go for a walk with your significant other.... or by yourself. But calories matter for weight loss. If your firm on not dropping your current calories, you're going to have to increase your activity or add another day or more of workouts into…

I do my lifts in the gym and my cardio, which is walking, I do outside... rain,snow, or heat.

Sprite + ZQuil = purp drank!!! Seriously, this knocks my *kitten* out fast. I always go a tad over the dosage cup they give you though.

A cop is behind a vehicle for some time, and notices this person keeps on doing "rolling stops", so he pulls the car over. Officer approaches car, asks guy "sir, is there a reason you keep on doing rolling stops at stop signs?" The guy responds "yea man, it's all the same anyhow". They continue to argue the differences for…

So much fail, and bro science in this ..... 45 minute carb window, dudes taking in the amount of calories daily as I do for lunch.

If you actually got sad over bread, you need to see a therapist, seriously.

I don't eat fruit, but, I track carrots since they are a little more calorie dense than broccoli, etc. I don't track any other veggies.

Most shakes use artificial due to it being less calorie dense, hence "weight loss shake". Make your own if it's that big of a deal... it isn't very hard or time consuming. And then you can use real sugar so you won't sprout horns, and consume the blood of innocents... because we know, that damn Splenda is devil food!

Cook with olive oil, find higher calorie peanut butter, try to eat some nuts/almonds/cashews. If I remember right, my wife also dropped weight at the beginning of her pregnancy... but it came back later on when she went further. These are just some of the things my wife ate when she was carrying out daughter. I personally…

It hasn't done either one for me. I just take it in pill and liquid form to help my immune system, per doctor recommendation.

I do hot green tea too, and I just throw in a few packets of Splenda. I don't even count the calories because each packet has 4 calories if I remember right... which is nothing really.

The fact you want a "weight loss shake", makes me assume you're trying to lose weight? Within your years, because you became anti-artificial sugar, I'm 100% positive you consumed foods that contained things far worse than sweeteners. Everything causes cancer now days. We literally all have the cells, they just sit dormant.…
