As much as I workout and train, I really don't take much. On lifting days, I take the above. On cardio and interval and sparring days, I drink a homemade natural smoothie: Spinach, plain greek yogurt, bananas, strawberries, and blueberries.

You would be surprised at how much a "natural supplement" like that smoothie can do for you!

I'm not big on suppliments either, 90% of them don't do anything useful and 99% don't give you anything you can't get from foods. I suppliment with whey protein and creatine monohydrate, neither give me digestve problems. Sometimes I use a pre-workout stimulant and I have had problems with a few of those that I've tried. Oh I almost forgot I do use Udo's choice .

The only time I have digestive issues is for that first week after a massive diet change. Never from the supplements though. I've never used MaxPro though. Is it a different protein base, like a soy instead of a whey that you're not used to?

Yeah, I do the BCAA's alone, without whey or any other supplement. BUT,...I do get my dose of animal protein for sure!

I've got a 50 lb 1RM but then again, I'm getting older. And my car's an auto

416Camaro · 02-01-2013, 06:50 AM

Just messin' with ya, ha ha. Reason being, I see to many people trying to impress others with how much they lift, in doing so, ignore proper form and appropriate weight loads for their needs. Depending on if your lifting for strength or hypertrophy you would normally lift around 85% of your 1RM for strength and 70% for hypertrophy. Again this varies with different people and different programs but is what I currently use.

Now if my car was a manual I would be lifting more but my manhood has been diminished as I drive an auto.

How many times? How many sets? How fast?

No idea tbh. I start with 60lb on my first set of inclines, but I don't do flat bench until after a 4th set of incline, so I'm a little wiped out at that point.

BRO, DO YOU EVEN LIFT?

Sorry, I love any excuse to use that phrase. I kinda cringe when people ask that question of 'how much can you bench'. One lift alone does not a performance athlete make.

But anyways, I only consider something a PR if I can 5RM on it. In which case, my bench is at 275.

I'm going to try for a new power clean PR today of 225. I got 3 reps in last time, but I couldn't get those last two. I might do one less warm-up set to save some strength..

So much truth right here.

That question always makes me chuckle, that's why I always respond with a 50 lb 1RM, most have no clue what it means.
