RIGHT NOW I'M ALL NATURAL. ONLY GOOD CARBS, HIGH PROTEIN FOODS AND (SHAKES),MULTI VITAMINS, SIMPLE WEIGHTS AND CARDIO. I'M JUST STARTING OUT AND THATS WHY I'M ASKING SO MANY QUESTIONS. I'VE PICKED UP ALOT OF MAGS SPEAKING ABOUT SUPPS BEFORE AND AFTER WORKOUTS. ALOT OF THEM SUGGEST ENERGY PILLS (CAFFIENE AND SYNEPHRIN) BEFORE WORKOUTS! OKAY, I'VE DRANK CAFFIENE (MY COFFEE) BEFORE WEIGHTS AND FELT A LITTLE HYPE AND WAS ABLE TO DO MORE REPS, BUT TAKIN CAFFEINE AND SYNEPHRIN BEFORE CARDIO MIGHT NOT BE A GOOD IDEA I WOULDN'T THINK. WHAT DO YOU THINK? I WOULDN'T WANT MY HEART TO EXPLODE. NAW, I WOULD'NT WANT THAT! DEPENDS ON HOW MANY mg YOU TAKE???? LIKE I SAID, I'M JUST A BEGINER, BUT TRYING TO GET ALL THE INFO I CAN FROM PEOPLE THAT HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT SUPPS AND LOVED THEM OR HATED THEM! THANKS FOR THE REPLIES. I APPRECIATE IT!! TRACEE

I can barely crack a peanut with my ass cheeks. I do need to do more shrugs. My abs are a work in progress. I keep reading not to over train them or they will "bulk up"...which is NOT what we want

Sounds like the noise I make at the sink after too many martini's.

I can crack a walnut with my ass cheeks, my back has always been strong, and shoulders weak, but I have made my shoulders into one of my strongest groups. SHRUGS BABY! Legs are mediocre, but I am determined. Abs are hard as steel, wish I could see those, but I can feel them, OH yes, I can feel them.

I just discovered a great tasting beer with low calories and carbs. Beck's Light has 64 calories and 3 carbs...and it taste good to boot. It comes in bottles ...so I shake out the bubbles and enjoy.
